ALASKAN RAILROADS.

This equipment of Alaska with a rail-
road system is in the public interest

the restrictions which are deemed
necessary by the majority of official
opinion, at least, is not promising. At
the present time general conditions
are not encouraging for such an ex-
pend1ture. Such an enterprise would
not be foreign to the proper govern

lacking for such undertaking by the
public, and all considerations of ex-

1SeS to make the law more efficient IL
the situation is not quite ripe for COM
pulsory arbitration, no action on the
part OF the government which will en-
courage and facilitate voluntary arbitra-
ton should be neglected. The bill which
is offered by Senator NewIands recog-
n1zes the criticism of the present Erdman
boards, which has proved a stumbling
block in the way of peaceful settlement
OF the railroad controversies of the past
year. 1t increases these boards from three
to six members, two of whom are to be
specifically representative of the public
interest and to be named by official au-
thority. This. in itself, is an important
step forward in the formal establishment
OF the public as party at interest in
railroad controversies.
The bill goes farther and, instead of
naming officials assigned to other duties
as mediators ex-officio, provides for the
appointment of an official mediator whose
specific duty shall be that of peacemaker
and adjuster of such controversies. Rail-
road managers and organized railroad
labor have committed themselves to the
principle of arbitration and public opinion
has endorsed 1T, so that congress ought
to regard it immediate and simple
duty to devise some working plan by
which the agreed purpose of the three
interests can be put into effect. II the
Newlands plan is imperfect in any par
tcular it should be modelled into desired
form. This is one of the lesser duties
which even the tariff session of congress
might properly find time to perform

end Of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques-
