AIRMAIL IN ALASKA

The airmail from Seattle to Alaska is a matter receiving general support from every or ganization in Alaska. There is no opposition from Alaskans whatsoever to the idea. The Postal Department is none too willing to give it's sanction to the plan and not a few Alaskana are liable to die of old age re- fore anything is done about it.
 It might not be a bad idea at all if the Legislature set aside a sum of money subsidizing the air lines to Alaska to insure year around service with fast mail, freight and passenger service. This might be something for the Chambers of Commerce to look up.

WOLF COUNTIES

Two years ago, MT. Stewart, predatory animal hunter lobbi- ed through the Legislature a bill providing for appropriation
 f neat sum of money to be used by the Biological Survey in he eXtermination of wolves in Alaska. At the same time the bounty paid by the Territory to pl livate citizens was cut down from fifteen to ten dollars.
 The Territory paid out more money for the exterminatiOn of wolves in the past two years than it ever paid out prior to that time and the results have been most disappointing. To say hat the expert hunters of the Biological Survey had killed 100 wolves would be stretching the truth considerably. They set poison out on the lines, tried trapping and what not. Mostly experimental work with no de- finite results to show for the money appropriated. Tn the meantime the cut in bounty paid 70 resident Alaskans has been only to the benefit of the Bio logical Survey.
 Unless it can be shown that the predatory animal hunters are really doing a work that brings the Territory value for honey expended, then it is time to call halt on a lot of foolish ness paid for by the taxpayer of the country.

KILLING THE FREE PORT OF
 RUPERT

put in bond for re-Shipment to the United States.
 The custom has been for A merican fishermen to take their fares to Prince Rupert where they are purchased, frozen, put in bond later transported to the United States and admitted duty free as American goods. The Boards investigation seeks to determine whether the ship |ment between Prince Rupert and Vancouver and between Van Icouver and American ports con- stituteS violation of the Ameri- can coaStwise shipping laws.
 Uneasiness is apparently felt in Prince Rupert over the effect on the fish business generally if the Boards decision is that the shipping laws are being vio- lated. In that case it might be that shipments so made would be declared dutiable. It is ad- mitted that if they were subject to duty, the tariff would have to come out of the price paid to fishermen. Under present prac- tices, American fish bring bet ter prices at Prince Rupert than those taken by Canadians and landed there, the differential representing the duty imposed by the United States on foreign fish brought into the country.

enough, they have invited the various organizations and Cham 0ers of Commerce to take part
 Il the dedicatory exercises. But, Jhe date set for the exercises are so close to the opening days of the Alaska Legislature that it would be more fitting if the date were again set forward till the Legislature meets and can take part in the exercises. The legis- tature is truly representative of the people of Alaska and their official connection would make the dedicatory exercises more appropriate. The only thing that is being said about the exercises now by a large proportion of the population is that Juneau is accepting a Territorial building for it's own use under it's own scheme of things. Juneau should show the generous spirit at this time.

For a long time certain fish ing interests have sought to close the port of Prince Rupert to American FiShermen-that is to force by legisla tion the sale Of Alaska caught halibut in A merican ports forcing the clos ing of the port of Rupert. The .lalibut fishermen are opposed to the closure of the Prince Ru- pert Port Competitive markets alone have made possible the life of the halibut industry in Alaska. This new stab in the pack and in the dark had best be watched by the fishermen whilst they yet have chance to voice a protest.
 Loss of Fish Business Feared"
 From Juneau Empire.
 British Columbia is worried lest the United States Shipping Board may take action to over turn present transportation practices in connection with the cold storage industry which will result in a loss of American fish fares to it's ports. This fear is founded on a comment made by the Shipping Board last No- vember to the effect it was in vestigating the practice of ship ping American-caught fish in Canadian bottoms between two Canadian ports after the fish had been sold in Canada and

 The argument is set forth that If General Buffers statements 'anent the killing of child by MusSolini and Mussolini's state ment thereto, were made as a private citizen it would not mat ter but coming from him as al, officer it was all wrong and he should apologize to Mussolini.

WHY THEY LOVE ANDY

While Secretary of Treasury, Andrew Mellon is collecting tO the early payment of Vi: insur- ance to veterans of the World War, he is busy giving back to rich corporations a lot of taxes that they have never missed.
 Uncle Andy" made cash re- funds to very rich taxcayerS to .the amount of $126,836,333.22. He paid interest on this amount to the tune of $37,971,711.75. Tn Ia single year "Uncle Andy gave a total relief of $164,808,044.9 cut of the Treasury to very rich tax payers. And Congress and Hoover quarrel over a mere twenty-five million which would be used by the Red Cross for the relief of starving citizens in the drought area.
 But Look at these Figures
 Here is the relief work of Uncle Andy Mellon during the year ending June 30, 1929:

one that is a revenue producer and give new hope to the in terrier country for other de- velopment.
 The proper handling of the | timber resources on the Southern Coast should bring to the terri tory a new migration of labor
 md capital and it's overflow would naturally drift westward into the farm and coal country and further traffic be added to
 the railroad. The equitable dis tribution of earning power in the fishing industry also would give
 further employment and earn ing power to the population in he Southern end of the country which naturally will overflow into the railroad belt.
 The failure of the railroad
 management to produce a re- venue producing road is not en-
 tirely the fault of the manage ment even with the inef1ciency
 shown While the government
 On the one hand is trying to
 build up the Territory, it's vari
 ous bureaus are doing their ut most to drive out resident citi- |zens by favoring only the vest ed interests. While the local mill
 men and loggers are staggerinc |along under handicap of bureau regulations which cannot but smother their efforts, the bu- reau of forestry turns around land virtually gives away five tout of six billion feet of timber to two foreign concerns in the 'hope that they will eventually
 build mills in Alaska and em-
 ploy probably a total of 1200 men in corporation owned towns. It is unfortunate that the
 Senate Investigating Committee
 did not have the time to make an intensive study of the cause
 of the failure of the railroad to
 be a revenue producer. It is un- fortunate that it was not point ed out to them that an enrich ened labor population in the First Division would add to the wealth, revenue and income of the railroad belt. And it is to be hoped that the Senate will send a committee to Alaska once again this time with broader powers of investigation in order that the failure of Alaska to de- velop rapidly might be brought out.
 So long as the publications of Alaska wink their eyes at the inefficient" management of the road and so long as they use the road for a political plaything and a thing to become enriched

Issue is being taken with the Senate Investigating Commit tees report on the conduct of the Alaska Railroad and it's re- cOmmendation that the rates be raised to equal that of other roads operated in the Territory and in Yukon Territory.
 Says one publications: "The recommendation of the commit tee that freight rates be raised 50 per cent and passenger fares 66 2-3 per cent is fraught with seriousness to those sections of the territory dependent almost wholly upon the railroad for transportation facilities. As 6 policy it is not designed to ac- comrlisll the very thing which the comittee points out, and correctly so, as the object to be attained-namely the building up Of outgoing traffic. It can re- suit only in handicaps to devel- opment which will work not on ly to prevent tapping of exist
 ing industries and add to rather than decrease the much dis cuSsed deficit. Thus it is the very negation of the broad poli cy that has long been recognized aS the fundamental require ment for transportation systems seeking to open up pioneer land"
 The charge is made by the Committee that the rates on the Alaska railroad were far below that of the White Pass and Yu- kon Railroad and the Copper River and Northwestern and the only proper thing to do is to raise the rates to equal the rates charged on the privately owned railroads. Certainly the only fair thing to do is to set a rate not lower than the othe" roads even if the Alaska Railroad is owned and operated b5 the Federal Government.
 The first thing to do is to ds- velop the resources which will produce freight revenue The first being the Alaska coal, which has proven to be equal to if not better than coal brought to the Pacific Coast from the Atlantic seaboard. As 6 user of coal for it's navy, the government should be the best customer. Buying the coal from the producers along the railroad will produce tonnage over the line that would raise the per mile tonnage, give employment to many more men in the mines, add to the train schedules and employment on the road and turn a losing proposition into

Ioday rather than insure the Sperpetuity of the industry by honest regulatory measures. An0 thus it will ever be-the control ing factors of fishery regula tion-the Associated Packinc Combine-insist in their hybri: publications that they are in favor of an honest conServa
 oion of the sockeye and other fisheries but whenever there is a real measure put forth which will protect the industry, they oppose that measure. History will bear out this statement as
 being a fact.
 The following is taking from The Seattle Times:
 Jones and Dill Take Stand
 Against Salmon Treaty Awaiting Ratification
 With Senators Jones and Dill standing beside Governor Hart ley in opposing ratification of the sockeye salmon treaty, that document seems destined to lie on the shelf of the Senate com rnittee on foreign relations for an indefinite time unless it's friends succeed in forcing ac- tion on it.
 Senator Jones, who was active in promoting the negotiation ot lthe treaty, in a letter to Hartley. given out at his office, inferen- tially accepts or at least acquies- ces in the suggestion that the ITCckeye salmon problem may be dealt with properly" by off cials of Washington State and British Columbia. It appears that ISenator Jones recently solicited the views of Hartley.
 Jones Sends Pledge.
 The governor responded with a brisk attack on the treaty I2sserting that the people of the state will expect their senators to defeat it.
 It is in response to this that Jones sends his pledge to pre- vent ratification. His letter says:
 T feel that you are just as earnestly interested in the per Ipetuation of the sockeye saIm- on supply as anybody can be.
 ''You know the conditions con- fronting this phase of the in |dustry as well as anybody in the Istate, and you are particularly familiar with the relations of your state officials with the Of ficials of British Columbia. Interested in Same Thing
 "AG governor Of our state, ! feel that your judgement as tc what should be done in a mat ter of this peculiar character Iand of it's relation to the state. should largely guide us in such matters. We are all interested in .he same thing, and that is the perpetuation of the supply Of the sockeye salmon. While I can see the difficulties of proper control of the waters affected because of the fact that they are partly in Canadian territory and partly in our territory, I know that you also appreciate this situation.
 "If the situation can be han dled and dealt with properly by the officials of British Columbia and our state so as to increase and perpetuate the supply of sockeye salmon, this is all that anybody can ask. No more than you, do I want to see the state control of it's fisheries interfered with or taken away by the na- tional government.
 'We probably will not be able tO have the President withdraw this treaty. But I think I am justified in assuring you that the treaty will not be ratified by the Senate"
