There no longer is any doubt that

but public opinion seems almost as
unanimous in its view that the leu

leading BY such a wide margin when
the low blow was struck that most

CITIES GIRO THEMSELVES FOR APPRO OACHING
 BATTLE

The railroad belt is up in arms
 against the proposed elevation of rates on the Alaska Railroad, a matter that will doubtless be considered by the Senatorial In vestigation Committee when they make their forthcoming report to Congress. According to Col. Otto F. Ohlson, in a statement to The Gateway just before his departure for Washington to dis cuss railroad affairs with the Secretary Of the Interior, he said he was quite convinced that a raise in rates would be proposed, altho he did not signify that he favored the move
 However, the proposal is meet ing with strong opposition from the towns affected by such a change, particularly Fairbanks where the Chamber of Commerce is girding it's Joins for the bat tie and from whence comes request to the Seward Chamber of Commerce for aid The Sew ard Chamber expressed itself at Tuesdays luncheon unanimous ly backing Fairbanks stand and willing to adopt any measures the Fairbanks chamber sug- gests. It is very likely that the Seward chamber will adopt a resolution of it's own at it's next meeting. The Fairbanks cham Der writes as follows:
 Seward Chamber of Commerce,
 i've believe that you have heard rumblings of a transporta- tion earthquake, which, no doubt, ] will take place within a short l time, when Colonel Otto F. OhI- son decides to increase the freight and passenger rates on the Alaska Railroad In re- cent issue of Juneau paper, Colonel Ohlson compared the rates on the Alaska Railroad. or at least made some allusion to them in connection with the

rates now being charged by the Copper River and Northern Rail- road.
 we have always been led to believe that the Alaska Railroad was constructed primarily to de- velop Alaska and was not sup posed to make a profit for Un- cle Sam until such time after the country had developed far be- yond it's present status. On the other hand, the Copper River and Northern Railroad was built to develop certain copper mine and to create tonnage for the allied steamship company, with which it was affiliated; and we believe that the rates

being charged by the Copper River and Northern Railroad have continued to retard the de- velopment of highly mineraliz- cd section of Alaska, which would have been developed had rates been in conformity with those now being charged by the government over the Alaska Railroad.
 "of course, we realize that Fairbanks will be more heavily penalized by an increase in rates tn entahcaoETAONNNN rates than the coast cities, but, nevertheless, we believe that raise in rates would be adverse to the best interests of both
