GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Now that the Government has as
sumed administrative control Of
the railroads Of the country, the
attention of the public is leaping
forward to the possible contingent
cy of Government ownership. AL
ready the management Of the roads
have conceded that this would prob
ably come, and express themselves
as desiring such an outcome.
There are many of the American
people who believe that the Gov
eminent must eventually control all
public utilities. Most people, how
ever, require to be shown, and will
watch with keen interest the results
Of the present move. If the Gov
eminent can demonstrate its ability
to bring order out of the present
chaos of transportation conditions
it will go a long way toward con
vincing the doubling Thomases
among us, and the step from gov
eminent control to government own
ership may be a short one anC
easily taken.
There are a number of features
of the present control which, if sue
cessfully worked out, will clearly
demonstrate the ability of the Gov.
eminent to handle the huge prob.
lem. Foremost among these is tn,
matter of labor. For number oil
years now the operatives have beer
consolidating their craft organiza.
tons and of late have presented al,
most solid front to the manage
ment, so that any demand Of their:
inevitably assumes the aspect Of {
threat. And a threat from them
the management know to be fraugh
with grave danger.
1t will be interesting to watch the
progress of the Government il
handling this huge army of thor,
oughly organized workers. The
railroads themselves have failed il
the task; can Uncle Sam succeed
When President Wilson proclaim,
ed the roads under Government
control, there was pending before
the management demand from
the men for something like AZ
per cent. raise of wages. This thu
roads have promptly shifted to tn,
shoulders of the Government. VIII
the demand be granted; and if not
will the men have the nerve "
press their demand! Ii this trans
pires, what will be the Government,
action?'
Government policy in other lines
of control has not been at all fav.
orable to labor organizations. Foi
some time now the railroad heads
have commended that the demands
of the men were unreasonable
Uncle Sam is a liberal paymaster
but should his view coincide with
that of the management, the mer
may find that their attitude in the
past has been a large factor in
shifting them from the. frying pan

The Advocate "Stands for Good

The Alaska daily empire., 1918-01-11

In the trial of criminal the testimony fo1 the prosecution is first then the defense and after that the rebuttal It is all very orderly and there good for adhering with consider able strictness the established order.
 The food investigators at Washington, led by Sena- tor Reed have been controlling the order of taking testimony very much if somebody trial, and that would be well enough in ordinary times, but this is ordinary time Food control in this coun- try depends upon voluntary cooperation among food producers and distributors and than 100000,O0O food consumers
 The structure which MT. Hoover and his asso ciates have built up is vast and fragile. Anything that tends to breed disrust of the fairness of the food administration the food stacker and likely bring chaos where the Food Administrator has achieved degree of order and efficiency.
 For this reason it not good policy to with hold the administration side of the food question long after any such attack that made by MT. Spreckes had been published. MT Spreckes poison ought to have been met with Mr. Hoover's antidote at
 This. very likely is why MT. Hoovers statement was given out. It given out from the White House and not by him, it may be assumed in order to relieve him from the performance of an act which might have been considered dscourteous by the com mittee.
 As for the statement, it speaks for itself We are short sugar because this country has divided its normal supply with the Allies, their usual sources being available because of the and the ship shortage. What Mir Hoover about price control and the saving of something like $20O,O0O0OO for the people is confirmed from testimony of the re- liners themselves.
 There may be few unpatriotic' people who will be dissatisfied with MT. Hoover's explanations and dsgruntled by the fact that they required to cut down their consumption of sugar. The country at large however, is perfectly willing to endure the shortage existing and to support the adimnistra- ton in policy which will continue the shortage next Inv hplp win he
 The people know that we cannot expect France, Great Britain and Italy to fight the enemies of the United States empty stomachs. They believe the National Food Administration is good thing and that it has accomplished much in a short space of time' despite inevitable mistakes to prevent extorton and keep down profiteering They do not propose to see it discreditted usefulness destroyed trumped up charges.

GET READY FOR THE COMING ELECTION
Anchorage Weekly Democrat)


 Soon after the first of the year the bannua Alaska elections will be expressing the attention o our public. We will have Delegate to elect, an four Territorial Senators and sixteen members of the lower House. besides Road Commis sioners in each Judicial Division.
 In 1912 when held the first election for mem bers of our First Legislature little thought given to the importance of the legislative acts of the men whom we were going to send to Juneau although the membership for that year whole very cred itable and been in both sessions since that time
 However we begin to realize that our legis lature is of great deal more importance than we at first believed that it would be. It has taken time for the different bodies to get into touch with the matters that could be righfully egisated in con formity with enabling act and the usual picker ings of one section against the other have become manifest in their deliberations, it is in different States and in the National Congress. Last year it became evident that the people of the Territory prone to ask that these bickerings should and that the members of the whole body should act in unison to end that whatever helps portion of Alaska helps the Territory In the first election we given the experiment of eecting representa- lives without political strings to them nonpartisan candidates the rule in that body and it it safe to say that the most unsatisfactory body that had.
 Latterly the tendency has been organize the Territory along political lines and this is it should it therefore behooves the Democrats of Alaska if they remain in be supercritical in selection of all candidates for the coming election We have abundance of splendid timber for office holders and it should be well gone in the selec tion of candidates for all offices in the year 1918
