There are lass different railroad companies in
really get competition in service, and this great num-
Der OF roads makes Il necessary 70 have an infinite
number Of rate schedules, an Of which complexities the
work Of regulation BY the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
II II were possible to consolidate all the roads Of
the country itno a limited number Of strong, virile,
competitive roads it would increase and make possible
competition In service. and also minimize and expedite
the regulatory work q the commission.
/ don't believe that consolidation ~ the panacea
for all ills Of transportation. i do believe, however.
that il will prove 70 be a very decided step IN the
right direction.
The object Of consolidation il not primarily to
put the railroads in a sound financial condition; We
are only interested IN 80 far a. their financial condi-
tion j. reflected in the service they render to the pub
lie. We are not interested in the creation Of large,
gigantic systems. VIC are simply interested in the de-
Of systems that will give the public the best
possible system OF transportation AZ the lowest pos
sihle rates. A. ! have said before, the primary object
Of consolidation is the interest Of the public.
Aay system az consolidation must include the
preservation az the weak or short lines that are neces-
sary to serve the public. Communities have grown I'D
along these lines and business has been developed
which cannot be left without adequate transportation
facilities. Weak and short lines in a vast majority Of
cases a. not furnish the service 70 which the public Il
entitled simply and solely because they are financially
weak. Weak and short lines must be tied in TO strong
systems where the services viii be what the public
has a right 70 expect.

There than little element of
 political hysteria in the addition of the direct

this Territory they have remained virtually uh- changed. The Territory is not bothered about overhead expenses of it's machinery of admin istraton. And that machinery is as directly under the people of Alaska as is possible Il u is to be utilized. It is answerable to the Leg isature accounts to it fully And in turn the members of the Legislature are accountable to the voters of their respective Divisions. If thelr accounting is unsatisfactory the voters will let them know in uncertain terms
 It is of course, within the province or the Legislature to change the system. But those who advocate the change should base their arguments on something else than the eradication of fed- eral bureaus from the Territorial Government Clti- zens of intelligence have seen through this bun combe long since. As full measure of self government is possible to be had under the Territorys Organic Act is being exercised by the Legisature And in way has it exercised II more fully or more sensibly than in designating the agencies of administration.

COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY
 REPORT.

The work performed by the United States Coast and Geodetc Survey in Alaska last year has added very largely to the information had prior to that time about navigating conditions on this coast. Even for service which has q remarkably fine record for efficiency and achieve ments, such as that held by the bureau il ac7 complished splendid results anyone fam ar with the field will realize from reading the sum mary of the annual report made public rom Washington by it's Director Col E. Lester Jones. The bureau carries its activities with very modest amount of publicity and seems content to get results without continually blowing it's horn about what it is doing. Its vessels come and go quietly but every year the achievements of it's personnel are seen ln the completed charts Of the eoastline and waters of those areas in which work is performed
 It would be impossible to calculate the value in dollars and cents of the work already dona by the bureau in Alaskan waters It has made and is making navigation safer and safer Its mission ls Of the highest importance and it E 10 be hoped that there will he no curtament of it's appropriations that would handicap 1t in the future.

Federal control of education and Government ownership enjoy close kinship. Neither should have place in progressive, free sovereignty.
 The National Council of Catholic Men is quite right in saying that education in the United States has been promoted by leaving the respon- sibility thereof to the individual State. and that any steps to bring about the liberalization of education would be further inimcal to the full liberty of education of that character that patriotic Americans consistently always have stood for
