HELD ALI TRUMP CARDS
 TRAFFIC DEBATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHOWN UN- FAMILIAR WITH TRANSPOR-
 EATON FIGURES
(By Special Correspondent

JUNEAU, Alaska, Apr 9-At the conclusion of the transportation hear ings Saturday Attorney General Rust gard told the joint legislative commit tee to put an additional tax on sal mon canners for the creation Of a fund from which liberal subsidy could be
 paid some steamship company to haul
 freight for Alaskans at the some low
 rate which Seattle steamship lines at
 present give to the cannery interests,
 and also pay subsidies to good sized steamers to enable them to operate in
 inter territorial trade"
 Despite the fact that Rustgard ad- contained in his biennial report con
 corning the rates on which he had based his analysis of the tariffs, and 1 also other gross inaccuries in his statements, he said that he still main taiHed that Alaska freight rates were exorbitant
 knickerbocker'S testimony created favorable impression upon his hear CTS. He denied an excessive dividend l rate had been earned and showed by annual reports of the company that dividends for the ten years previous
 to 1923 averaged less than six per cent He further stated that MT
 Rustgard's charges that the company
 does not want Alaska developed were i refuted by the fact that the company investments in Alaska were large. He challenged MT. Rustgard to show him ! where any industry had been blocked through action of the company, but on
 the contrary stated that his company
 maintained the largest payroll and paid the largest taxes of any concern in the Territory MT. Knickerbocker answered all questions in a straight
 ward way without hedging and backed 1 up his answers by statistics taken
 from territorial and company records.
 Rustgard questioned him in an aim less fashion for about two hours. Later Senator Dimond, and Representative.
 Reyes, Foster, Daly, Raelson. Decker
 and others also questioned MT. Knick-
 erbocker and Mir. Rustgard. It is ex-
 pected that the findings of the con-
 mittee will not be made public for | several weeks

THOMPSON CHARGES TIMES WITH THE
 DOUBLE X
SAYS EDITOR PHONEO ASKING H,MTo PROTEST APPOINT
 MENT COL. STEESE

In a recent issue of the Fairbanks Miner, w. F. Thompson, the editor, takes exceptions to the attempt of the Anchorage Times to place the blame for the attempt to retain Col Mears in office upon commercial orsaniza- tions outside of Anchorage, when the Fairbanks editor alleges, the Anchor age Chamber was the only commercial or civic body that interested itself in the proposed change of railway heads. The article, under the head, Trying to Get Out from Under" follows:
 ANCHORAGE, Apr. S.-Regardins the dispatch from Washington about Alaska Civic organizations asking that Col Mears be retained until the com pletion of the railroad no such re quest emanated from here. Instead Washington was congratulated by the Merchants association upon the choice of a successor to Col Mears. Did a civic body of Fairbanks make the re- quest?

To the above we answered that Anchorage DID start the move. The manager of the Times over the long distance phone told the manager of the News Miner that the Anchorage Commercial Club HAD sent such mes sage as soon the news of Col. Steese' appointment reached there and asked US to ask the Fairbanks Commercial Club to do the same. We did ask the Club and it refused to do so, and we so notified Anchorage. The "civic' requests referred to in the Washing ton dispatch were the outcome Of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce's telegram to President Harding asking for the retention of Col.
