PRIVATE OWNERSHIP WINS

A copyrighted dispatch to the
New York Post from London re
Gently declared that private ship
ping genius scored heavily ovel
government ownership of steamship
lines when Lord Kyslant, formerly
Owen Phillips, for the White Stal
Line bought the Commonwealth
Shipping Line of Australia, paying
$9,500,000 for the property which
cost the Australian government
$36,000,000." The dispatch contin-
tes that Lord Kyslant now controls
100000 tons of shipping and the
capital of the companies of which
he is chairman or director amounts
to a billion dollars, and it is said
that the service which his compan-
les give, is as good as the best.
The most significant point of this
news is that this great British ship
owner paid $9,500,000 for line
which cost the Australian govern
ment $36,000,000. Here is another
example of the fallacy of govern
ment ownership. Australia, which
has made several socialistic expert
ments, decided that there was mon
ey in government shipping lines.
The sum of $36,O00,0OO was expend-
ed in the investment. Now the ships
have gone into private hands at a
loss of three-fourths of the invest
ment to the government.
There is a lesson here for Ameri-
10 oh
problems. We are trying to build
up and maintain a great merchant
marine and we expect to do it.
Several plans for such a marine
have been offered. One of them is
the plan of government ownership.
It has been put forward by those
who pretend to shudder at the word
Subsidy as referring to shipping
lines. But the shipping business
has cost our government many hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The |
great expenditure was necessary |
during the trying times of the war,
and we have found that government |
owned shipping is a losing propo-
sition.
OF course it has been necessary
Tor the government to keep the
ships and improve the service until
he time came when these could be
.urned over at a fair price to private
shipping interests. That time is ar
living and great many of the lines
lave been disposed of. We can
low begin to look forward to the
ime when the government will get
tut of the shipping business entire
y. This move will meet with the
of the great majority of
he American people. We all want
n American marine for protection
o our trade in time of peace as well
s in time of war. But we have
Ound that in America as we'll as
lsewhere great projects of the kind
an be operated better and more
under private than
ate at government aid to shipping
ublic ownership. Those who hesi-
S a burden on the taxpayers should
top to consider that government
wned shipping lines have been a
IT greater burden on the taxpayers
ian any subsidy ever dreamed of
Y the most ardent advocate of the
lbsidy theory.
By all means let us have our mer-
lant marine, and let us have it
riVately owned, with the govern
ent seeing to it that American
lips have a chance to compete
irly with low wages and low liv-
g costs in Europe, and still main
in the American standard of liv-
g. The government ship expert
ent will never work out. The lat
t news of the sale of the Austral-
n line to private hands shows the
rection in which the wind is
owing.

States His Platform


 compilation of the territorial stat utes, to amend the primary law, and to solve the transportation Ques- tion. He concludes this part of his speech as follows: There are a large number of other questions which have received the same treat ment at the hands of the legisla- ture," and finishes with reasons that are not complimentary to that body.
 Apparently MT. Rustgard does not suspect that his own cold bloOded personality might be a factor in the solution of the problem. He Iseems to take 1t for granted that every one is out of step in the mat lters he complains of and that the Legislature has always been obdurate without just reason, is it not easier to elect one Attorney General who can and will work with the legis- I1ature, rather than twenty-four leg Iislators. who will be in accord with Ithe methods of the Attorney Gen. Ieral? Is it not good politics as well as good business sense to try a new man for the office? Whatever the cause, MT. Rustgard admits that he is a failure as an attorney gen. eral when new legislation is need ed.
 But if MT. Rustgard, as attorney lgeneral, cannot secure constructive Legislation, he has demonstrated that he is able to defeat some. A bill was introduced in the legislat- ure in 1925 providing for dis criminatory tax on nonresident fishermen. The purpose of the bill was to protect our own fishermen lfrom nonresident fishermen and en- Icourage an increase in the resident population. Oregon and Washington have similar laws, why not Alaska? |? At his own request, MT. Rustgard 3spoke against the bill on the floor of the house. It was defeated.
 The resident who. makes his liv- ing by fishing is as much entitled to protection against foreign com petition as the resident merchant who claims and is given protection against nonresident peddlers. He Ispends his income in Alaska, builds and maintains a home in the terri tory, while the nonresident fisher man carries his earnings back to Seattle or San Francisco. The can. nery corporations were against the measure, of course, but why our attorney general? That is a ques- tton that MT. Rustgard must ans , wer to the satisfaction of the people and more specially the fishermen before he is returned to office.
 I believe the fur farmer should be aided to the fullest extent by ap- propriate legislation. I believe in the enforcement of law and I be- lieve with all sincerity In the Comp troller Bill, otherwise known as tho Home Rule Bill. The success ot that bill or it's equivalent is neces | sary to revive the spirit of free f dom among the people of Alaska which is already whitening under } the blighting influence of Bureau t cracy.
 I have the indorsement of th' Third Divisional Republican Club o s Anchorage. My neighbors approve 7 my candidacy, and I sincerely solici s your support.

 March 2, 1928.

| believe that l am qualified to serve
 the people in that capacity came 1 to Alaska with the gold rush of 1897, have lived at Eagle and Nome and since 1915, at Anchorage. ]
 have practiced law in the state of Washington and the tearritory of
 Alaska since the year 1891. have always been a Republican. I am heartily in favor of the fol-
 lowing platform adopted by the Re- { publicans in the last legislature. l. Elective territorial officials for all major offices.
 g. Separation of territorial of fees from federal offices. g. Equitable taxation. 4. Trap catch based on catch. g. Discriminatory tax on non resident fishermen. G. Repeal by Congress Of section I27 of the Jones Merchant Marine Act which discriminates against AL aska.
 I have a high personal regard for the present incumbent of the of 
 flee but he admits that he cannot get results. He furnishes the ev- idence himself that he cannot se- cure much needed laws throuOgh the legislature.
 Seventeen of the thirty-nine pages of his speech delivered at Anchor age on the 3Oth day of September, 1927, are given up to bitter com plaints over his failure to secure proper legislation. He laments that every legislature since that of 1928 has annulled his efforts at construc- tive legislation by unwarranted op- position He especially mentions
 the election laws, cannery sanita- ton, the probate laws, compilation
 of the territorial statutes, the pri-
 mary law and the transportation question.
 Concerning the election laws he
 says;
 'The Attorney General has repeat
 edly recommended a revision of the
 election laws. These laws are and
 have been conflicting and confusing
 Urged such revision upon the 1egis-
 lature of 1923 and drafted bill to lcarry out that recommendation. The
 bill was never as much as reported Tout of committee. I again urged the
 measure before the legislature of 1925 but no action was taken. ] repeated by recommendations in t1927 and submitted a bill. "
 The bill was not even given the honor of an introduction in the house
 but was introduced in the senate. l. When it came up for final passage it was defeated"
 Continuing his speech, MT. Rust gard then enters into lengthy dis , cussion of a cannery sanitation bill
 introduced by him at the request ot
 the legislature and which, at first } met with some opposition from one or more misinformed canneries but !, which, after all cannery opposition , had been withdrawn, was defeated , Tn concluding his remarks on thil } measure, MT. Rustgard asks ''Wh! then the opposition?" and proceed to criticise the mentality of tn Legislature.
 Next the lament takes up MT p Rustgard's efforts to secure the re lvision of the probate laws which tn 2 majority of lawyers practicing in tn \ territory comedies should be re < formed. He goes on to tell how S session after session of the legislat
 ure he had prepared bills and uri
 led their adoption upon the la @ makers but that they would hay .inone of his word and defeated ever E. bill.

of their marriage on November q in
Middletown, the ceremony being per-

Edward Ratledge, who was serious
ly injured by vicious bull which
gored him when the young farmer
was feeding the cattle on his farm
near town about three weeks ago, is
steadily improving at the Delaware
Hospital, to which institution he was
removed soon after the accident on the
advice Of DR.. j. ID. Niles. The animal
punctured the stomach of the patient,
but the injuries proved to be some
what less serious than was first sup
posed.
Farmers who have had the tomato
problem to perplex their wits for sew
eral years following the slump which
made the crop practically worthless,
are still in doubt as to the best meth
ods to adopt in planning to return this
crop to a paying basis. Those who
had extensive crops of tomatoes last
year were compelled to leave the en-
tire acreage unpicked, but should the
open market this year prove helpful in
taking the bulk Of the crop, the losses
would be greatly reduced.
