lives. That's an example of how a bankrupt railroad has to pay out money. And that's not all. Its gross revenues were up 54 per cent in 1947 as compared with 1929, and net income was up 40 percent. But here's the catch. Its taxes have gone up 173 per cent
 Government Trouble
 As a matter of fact, payrolls and payroll taxes took more than half the gross revenues of the railroads in 1946. At the same time, the rate of return for stockholders, based on property valuation, has dwin- dled to around 3 per cent. Not more more than 3a per cent is the estimate by the Interstate Commerce Commission for 1947, and this does not include wage in-

Board Doing Good Job
Anchorage NeWs)


 THE REPORT made public here by the Territorial Board of Veterans Affairs should be studied carefully by all Alaskans It discoses record of efficient admin istraon for which should feel gratfied and in which all of us take pride Since its creation it has pro- cessed and approved $3O0O0OO in loans and $7OO 900 in bonuses to veterans of World War H.
 The outstanding feature in it's operations handled by MT. Normal Haley Commissioner, with the approval of the Board is that it's administrative costs are to date less than two per the dollar There are few pr vate enterprises, handling many individual and in like volume of money the Board has done, which can show an equally low cost. Its record does much to offset the toofrequent charge that public agen mics cannot be operated economically private panies corporations
 The prediction made by the Board that the "Veter- ans Sale Tax will become imperative the end of the June quarter in 1948 will be welcomed by both chants and their patrons Any kind of sales tax is nui levy However this particular has not serious ly disturbed our local economic system.
 On the other hand it has been considerable factor in making that economy stable. Virtually all of the money collected and distributed either as bonuses loans has been and will be spent by Alaskans in Alaska In other words tax dollars remaining at home and being put to useful purposes The fact that already 25 per cent of the loans made under the Veterans Aid Act have been repaid is indicative of the high quality of the veteran borrowers and their capacity we'll as their willingness to quidate their indebtedness as possible.

They Asked For It

(Daily Alaska Empire) THE INDIANS of Southeast Alaska and elsewhere who have blindy followed the advice of their glib at torneys from back East and have been taken in by the promises of few legal light underngs left in the Interior Department from the Ickes regime may find that their actions in blocking the immediate pulp and paper timber development in Alaska will cost them everything they have been awarded in reservations handed out so literally by Ickes.
 Senator Hugh Butler chairman of the powerful Senate Public Lands Committee, has announced he will intro duce during the present special session of Congress leg islation which destroys the Secretary of Interiors thority to establish reservations under the Wheeler Howard Act and to do away with those reservations al ready created under it-1, ,540O00 for 428 lives.
 Senator Butler is making bones about the fact that he going all out to defeat at the aboriginal rights theory which he the biggest block to develop ment of Alaska
 The legislation he has prepared points out that abor igna titles to land in Alaska wiped out by the Treaty of Cesson when Alaska purchased by the United States saying exactly the thing that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said earlier this year
 The resolution also recognizes the danger in an ad- ministratve officer having the wide powers to literally give away the public lands with practically limta- tions.

GOVERNMENT AND
 RAILROADS

The American railroads are be- ing put increasingly on the spot. They had tough timse during the depression years of the Thirties. Some of them went bankrupt and remain that way, despite the tre- mendous volume of wartime busi- ness. Times are good on the rail roads now, too They are hauling all the freight they can haul. Well, asks the public, if business is so good, why can't the railroads keep on granting wage increases?
 Folks coming to our town ride the Missouri Pacific. Although it went bankrupt in 1883, this rail- road now has on order $35, 1000, 900 worth of, new cars and locomo.

ment and agreed to abide by the terms of HJR 205 der which timber on the lands falsely claimed by the Indians would be sold for pulp through the government they would have lost nothing and stood to gain all This legislation absolutely fair to all concerned Recog nzing that Alaska had chance to market the timber now and several large pulp mills in Alaska the legislation provided that until the aboriginal claims were settled either by Congress the courts, the money derived from the sale of the timber would be placed in escrow later to be paid to the Indians they established claims to the government-Federal and Territoria-if the claims shown to be non-exist ent.
 Even in the face of two Circuit Court of Appeals de- cisions which went sharply against the aboriginal claims the Indians through their attorneys continued to block the pulp program until they forced such prsas the legislation which Senator Butler has been forced introduce for the good of the Territory whole.
 In attempt to off prospective investors who were to bid timber up for sale the Indians at torney wrote letters to the companies known to be n terested, warning them that the government had no right to sell the timber and suggesting they buy direct from the Indians. They also set up what looks susp ciously like dummy" corporation in New York which they reported contracting to buy the timber direct from the Indians. Senator Butler also plans to investigate this corporation We predict that the results will show that those behind it have connections with the old Ickes gang which started the whole aboriginal few years back.

creases. That's mighty poor in veStment!
 Everybody seems to be unhappy about the railroads. The various unions are usually ready to com plain about wages. Yet manage ment finds wage increases coming, with no profits to absorb them. And sometimes the public gets sore. Pretty soon somebody gets the bright idea. We'll just let the government take the railroads over, and that'll settle everything They just think it will. That's what the trouble is now. Govern ment trouble.
 Some On The Rocks
 In my opinion, the extensive government regulations are funda- mentally to blame for the rail. roads failure to make ends meet despite the greatest volume of business they ever had in peace time. American railroads are prob ably regulated by government more than any other major indus try. In years when railroads see that profits are too small, or even non-existant as in 1946, they may petition the government for rate, increases.
 These may be granted or they may not. Some relief was granted the railroads early this year. But these prospects were at once swal-, lowed up in wage increases, and additional increases are being asked even though many railroads, are already on the rocks. If things go on for another decade in this manner, we shall see a great and important industry fold up com pletely.
 How 10 Pay and Pay
 There is one alternative: com plete government management and operation. Obviously, this is no answer. More wrong ways and methods will not make things right. Although some persons in America like to think that more government management is the way out of any difficulty, the ma jority of American people do not want our railroads to be govern ment owned. In countries that have adopted socialism, commun- ism, and fascism, one of the first steps has been to nationalize transportation.
 The future of our industry de- bends much upon the future of our railroads. Yet, unless railroad credit can be restored unless the lines are permitted to earn enough money to pay fair dividends and attract new investment, to keep equipment and properties in good condition, then it will not be pos sible to keep paying good wages to employees. In this critcial pc riod, wage increases may be the burden that breaks the railroads. If the railroads are crippled, CT if government ownership. comes, the public will pay and pay and pay.

One minute of the 3rd round of
a scheduled 8 round main event in
Madison Square Garden last We'd
nesday evening, Charley Salas, a
144-lb. welterweight of Phoenix,
stopped Bobby Yoriguin of Mexico.
A blow in the midriff by Salas
started Yoriguin coughing when he
sank to the canvas. The first round
between the two proved that the
Phoenician was too much man for
his opponent.
Although the main event was not
so spectacular the other scraps
were plenty entertaining.
Roy Cadle, the Boxing Artists,
gave his opponent, Ell Tigre a fine
exhibition in the art of boxing, and
won the decision by wide margin.
Pepsia Moreno of Yuma, subbing
for Alex Rivas of Cananea, won
five rounds to take the Six-heat
special from Willie Dean of Phoe-
nix. In other bouts Reivas Nadero
of Nogales flattened Pedro Montez
of Tucson in two rounds and Jelly
McElroy of Phoenix knocked out
Preston Jefferson, a sub for Bob
Brown of Williams Field, in two
heats.
McElroy is just making his debut
in the fistic world and promises to
be one of Phoenix's up and coming
fighters.

THE WILL. TO SHOCK
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

Besides the Will to Rule, in which
the Germans indulged for spell,
the Will to Serve, which character
ICES the devoted and high minded,
and the will to Rob and Steal and
Burn and Murder, which is ex-
emplified by savages both among
the Indians of the Wild West and
the Thugs of the Effette East, we
might also note among the furni-
ture of the human mind the Will
to Shock.
This might also be termed the
Will to Break Loose.
It is one of the primordial in
Arizona sun., 1947-10-10

stincts bubbling up through the
surface of civilization as volcano
lets the concealed subterranean fire
come to the surface of the earth.
The original stuff out of which
a human being is made is bundle
of instincts. The primitive man
was a collection of lusts, passions,
desires and the like and these still
constitute the driving force of the
human race.
AS the mind developed and man
began to think he slowly COM
menced to regulate and tame these
powers so that he could use them
for his welfare and not merely
follow them to his obstruction;
just as he broke the wild horse to
carry him and draw his burdens.
All that civilization means is that
man is learning to control, guide,
coordinate and master his in
stinctS.
One of the strongest of these
self-expreSsion. We see it in one of
it's crude froms in the silly Bo-
hemian who wants to live his own
life"
Any of you can see the same
thing cropping out of your children,
if they are good, healthy specimens.
Your boy just loves to do every
thing violently and say everything
vociferously. And you have a diff
ficult time in making your healthy,
vigorous girl behave properly and
mind her P's and Q'S.
You are dumbfounded when your
small boy comes home from school
one day with some terrible oath
or dreadful obscenity. You lecture
him, and he promises never to do
it again, and yet the puzzle re-
mains does he take to that
sort of thing?
If you mingle generally with
men at the club, in business, on
the train or on the street, you will
find a certain number of them seem
to like profanity and obscene ex-
pressions, all the way from those
that are mild to those that are
exceedingly strong.
This is the old instinct for In
dividual Expression breaking out.
All our lives we are trained to
keep ourselves in hand, to develop
and strengthen the inhibitions, in
other words to be decent and re-
spectacle. There is a good deal of
wild, native blood in many of us
that chafeS at this. There are some
colts who simply cannot resist the
impulse to kick over the traces.
Every effort to tame the human
spirit and bring it into order and
usefulness is resisted by that savage
primitive force we are seeking to
harness.
This is what the Prohibition idea
is up against. The intelligence of
the world has long seen that the
use of alcohol works tremendous
damage to the human race. Eventu-
ally of course it will have to be
eliminated. 1t is unthinkable to
suppose that humanity will go for
ever doing a thing which science,
reason and conscience condem.
But the early efforts to curb
drunkenness, which is the mans
form of childishness, is met by the
same irritable rebellion that you
meet in your children when you
try to teach them to speak softly
and not yell, to sit straight and
not sprawl, to talk English and
not slang and profanity and alto
gether to regulate their wild,
natural instincts by those inhibi-
tions which come along so much
later in the history OF evolution.
Profanity and Obscenity are the
Volcanoes Of Civilization.
