GOVERNMENT RAILROAD IS
 ALAsKAs HoesoNs CHOICE

The New York Times, discussing the high rates charged by the govern ment on the Panama railroad, which it owns and operates, does not find the showing one to encourage be- lief that government.owned and op' erated railroad would be success in Alaska. Says the Times:
 Altogether Alaska might we'll
 consider whether it would not
 fare better under privately own
 ed and publicly regulated monopo-
 Iy. rather than under government
 monopoly, which is as like the
 other sort as another pea from
 the same pod, distinguished only
 by somewhat less regard for the
 regulations which it establishes
 for others, and which at any time
 are liable to be imposed upon it.

 The choice of Alaska, unfortunately, is not between the goyernment-owned and privately.owned railroad lines, but between lines owned by the govern, ment and no lines at all. And Alas ka is placed in this predicament en. tirely by government action. Capital has been deliberately driven away from Alaska There would have been no need whatever for asking the gov ernment to build any railroads over the route now outlined had it not been for the activities of the professional conservationists. Railroads were building and would have been com pleted long ago. but when the coal lands were withdrawn from entry and all existing claims tied up by the ac' tion of the land office, the reason for rail construction ended.
 The government is asked now to build the railroad lines which it pre- vented capital from building, and to release the coal lands which it has tied up for the past seven years. Pri' vate capital, after the experiences had is not apt to invest in railroad con struction in Alaska until firmly as sured that the country is not to re main bottled up indefinitely. Better a governmentowned railroad, with all of it's disadvantages, than no railroad at all.-Seattle Post.Intelligencer.
