LEASING THE ROAD.

Seward dispatches received by The Citizen and printed in Tuesday morn. .ngs paper. quote Captain Frederick Mears, member of the Ala kan En gineering commission in charge Of the work on the coast end of the Alaska railroad, as being In favor 0: lea-ing the road. after it's completion, to some competent company for ope- ration. No reason for such an atti tude is given in the dispatch. there fore Captain Mears' reasons for such statement or for such policy. are not known.
 As understood here. and we be lieve that practically all of the peo- anything about the railroad under
 stand the matter in the same way
 the main object In building the Al aska government railroad was to try out the principle of government own ership. Another object, of course, and 1t was not secondary, was the opening up of the resources of In
 terior Alaska. The latte- object, in
 fact, is what Alaskans most desire,
 be the railroad operated by the gov ernment or by private concern. But would not leasing the road have
 the effect of destroying the original
 plan of the government to try out
 the principle of government owner ship altogether?
 The Citizen does not wish to go
 Il record as opposing the railroad commission or its plans. only insofar
 as they injure the community in
 stead of helping it, as was originally intended. And We would also sa!
 here that the government should b, given the opportunity to work out
 ts theory of government ownership. Therefore, unless some greatly ia vorable reason for leasing plal. can be given by Commissioner Mears or others who favor such plan, we would submit that the leas- ing plan. if ever proposed and ii the people are given a voice in the
 matter In any way whatever, should be opposed with all the strength of Alaskans, be they of the interior or
 of the coast country. We take this position for two reasons, the first | being that such a plan would have | the effect of doing away entirely
 with the original government owner | ship plan. although the road will have been built and owned by the government. and the second that a | leasing plan would place the people | of Alaska. who will be the people ludt luc Lodu ID ouppooSu lo oSAclit
 and who will pay the cost of its | operation in paying for freight ship
 ments in the main. completely al
 the mercy of transportation COT poration.
 In the language of the railroad | bill. as 1t was passed, President | Wilson Is given the right to ope- | rate the railroad at government eX- pense or to lease 1t to competent parties, and he will undoubtedly do what seems bet to him in the mat ter. But if Commissioner Mears' | prediction that the road will not
 be completed until 1921 proves true, President Wilson will be out of of | fee by that time, unless the un- precedented third term is given him,
 which means that the road will be handled by different governmental | administration, as far as the Presi- | dent is concerned.

 HIGH PRICES
 TODEMOCRATS
Says Democrats Preach Economy But When In Power Become Pro-
 fIigate.
Special Correspondence.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 - "The high price of gasoline, which affects the owner of every automobile in the country as well as all business houses which use gasoline trucks; the high price of print paper, which has affect ed every newspaper and publication in the United States, particularly the owners of the smaller newspapers; all these increased expenses affecting millions of our citizens and costing them billions of unnecessary expense. is due to the Wilson administration and the Democratic party" declared Representative Halvor Steenerson, of Minnesota. in a statement here today
 The Democratic party promised economy and gave us extravaganza. It promised lower cost of living but it has gone up and is still going up. It promised to curb monopoly but the Democrats have pulled the teeth out of the antitrust law by the Clayton act 10 such an extent that We are now in the grip Of some of the most rapacious trusts in the world
 When I sought to get the Govern ment 10 prosecute them for violating the antitrust law the Department Of Justice could not find sufficient evi- dence although the Secretary of the Interior, the Bureau of Mines, and the Federal Trade Commission investi- gated the subject and reported there was no natural or economic cause for the increase in prices and it must be due to monopolization.
 The paper trust has gradually rais- ed the price of paper so that many of the smaller newspapers may have to go out of business. The settlers who furnish the pulp wood have been paid the same old price but the manufac-
 'rer has doubled the selling price.
 The Democratic party has imposed extra taxes on the people amounting to S60O,n00,000 per annum. They have created more than 35.0G0 new offices, involving a permanent burden on the tax payers of $40O0O,0O0 per annum.
 They are great for economy when out Of office, but in power they are more than extravagant-they are pro higate"
