 It is human nature for the Nome people to rejoice that it is the1r cOmp9ny that gets the money. Bu, argue it out. If it is right for on. a'rplane or transportation company to get subsidy, it is right for any and all others to get subsidies. Where will it end if not in the bank ruptcy of all? And what becomes of our Organic Act which prohibits ads for private companies?
 Gaffney must have his subsidy, but when it came to subsidizing d fast steamship service from Juneau to Prince Rupert Gaffney voted ''NO.' Why the discrimination? Why a subsidy for Nome and not f>r southeastern Alaska, especial ly when the money was to be taken f om the Divisions share of the road money?
