tion to duties performed. Delegate Bartlett's measure provides that a commissioner shall retain all fees he receives up to Sl250 every quarter, and if a commissioner fees total less than S200 a month, the difference will be paid to him from Treasury funds. If any one commissioner collects in fees Sl250 in any one quarter of the year he shall receive that amount in the other three quarters should the fees collected fall below Sl25O, thus providing maximum of S5000 year for some commission CTS. Commissioners receiving the minimum compensation of S200 per month shall be limited to nine in the First Division, seven in the Second Division, IS each in the Third and Fourth Divisions.
 The bill also provides for the ap- pointment by the four district judges in Alaska of a chief com- missioner who will reside and maintain an office in Alaska to in- spect the offices of the various commissioners and report to the judges. The chief commissioner at the time of his appointment must have resided in Alaska for al least two years and have been ad- mitted to the practice of law in the

would vary as to different com moditieS. This arrangement would be effective on March l of this year, the day following delivery of the ships to the owners by the Maritime Commission. Legal au- thority for the Maritime Commis- sion to continue government oper- ation will expire on February 23. President Truman has requested that the Maritime Commissions authority in all trades to continue operations be extended until June 30, but the negotiations now going on necessarily look forward to pri- vate operation on March l because there is no surety that Congress will approve the Presidents recom- mendation.
 ''In view of historic opposition to any kind of subsidy in coaStWise trade, the sympathetic interest ot CongreSSmen Jackson, Herter and Bland in agreeing to accept this proposal for themselves and in agreeing to do what they can in securing Congressional approval is clearly demonstrated.
 If for any reason an agreement were not worked out for govern ment ships and for government in surance, the only alternative would seem to be outright private opera tion. With respect to that, the car rierS submit that overall rate in creaseS on the order of 118 per cent over and above 194l rates will be required.
 'Althugh we are told the paSSen- ger business is a losing business, the rate of increase with respect to it will be comparatively small. Ii may be fairly assumed the req son for that is because Canadian lines in southeastern Alaska and airplanes to all sections of Alaska are offering competition.
 50, while very slight increase would be placed on passenger rates, the overall freight increase would be considerably more.
 "When the statement is made that settlement has finally been reached with respect to the trade between continental United States and Puerto Rico at 30 per cent above prewar level we are inform ed, not only by the operators but

Dy the so-called Plant technical committee which has just submit ted US report to the House Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries sub committee that the Alaska trade is enurely unique and entirely diff terent from and not comparable W4tn any other trade anywhere else. 1t would seem to a layman I.Iere must be a basis of compari- son somewhere but we are told tnlS IS not so. This would seem to Ue by way of instructing us that 1laSKa has no real argument at all, and we must pay whatever cnareeS might be assessed against us and in whatever measure they might De assessed and at whatever tune they might be levied.
 During the war l was told more than once by operators that the reason for all the waste and eff clency was because of government operation and that the era of good times would return with private operation.
 And so it will for the operators If their proposals are accepted. But the results in Alaska will not be good and could be disastrous. The Alaska businessman, the miner, the fisherman, the fish packer, the houseWife-all these and more will be hurt in varyin. degrees. At the moment when w are officially told the inflationary peak has been reached and ev, passed Alaskans are informed they must brace themselves for anothe wave of Spiralling costs.
 "I have been severely criticized in some circles for introducin legislation which would permi foreign shipping in Alaska waters I have been told that enactment Such legislation would drive Amer ican ships from the Territory ant would subject us after that had re suited to uncontrolled rates anc no guarantees at all of service Frankly, I cannot see what diff, ference there would be between that and the clear warning giver yesterday that Alaska must accep the proposed rate increase withou question or protest, or do withou shipping.

10 emphaSlZe here than Congress men Jackson and Bland and Her ter have not endorsed or have not attempted to endorse any suggeS- tions as to rate charges. That is entirely up to the U. s. Maritime Commission, the regulatory body created by Congress for that pur- pose.
 Tn the normal course of events and after the shipping companies had filed their tariff proposals, the Territory of Alaska could, if it so chose, intervene and request sus- pension of rates and hearing by the Maritime Commission. That choice is still the Territory's. The advisability of doing so must be weighed against the warning of the operators attorney yesterday that if the Territory does intervene and rates are suspended service will absolutely cease with the Ter ritory being foreclosed of the right to appeal in orderly manner. Costs of operating steamships have obviously gone up through the last few years as have all other costs. It takes no trained econo- mist to determine that, but we Alaskans have a clear right to question whether they have climb ed to the point the operators sug- gest. After all, it was only a few weeks ago the Maritime Commis- sion rejected rate increase propos- alS in the Alaska trade on a com parable scale. Now, without furn- -shing any further proof as to the validity of their figures, the oper- atorS have moved to impose their own will on Alaska without re- Straint.
 My reasoned conclusion is that come what may the Territory can not accept this without fighting back, no matter what the cost may be. If we yield now without a struggle, then forevermore we are at the mercy of those who might desire to treat us similarly.
 We should act boldly and firm ly but with moderation. More is at ! stake than the continued prosper ity of any steamship company The welfare of every last resident of Alaska is at stake together with the whole economy of the Terri tory.
 "The Territorial legislature is now in session, and if, in it's wis dom, 1t sees fit to carry on this fight, then the appropriate Terri torial agencies, existing or to be created, will be authorized to do what can be done in protecting Alaska's vital interests"
 Subsequent meetings have re- vealed that the ship operators will not retreat from their position as outlined above. Delegate Bartlett, believing it is essential to have at the earliest possible moment "rea- soned conclusions of legislative and executive branches of the Ter ritorial government" as to what he should do with respect to the pro- posed legislation and what the po- sition of the Territory will be re- | garding the proposed rate increas- es, has sought counsel from the legislature and the Governor.

Study Shows Quaint Use OF
Words i'm Different Regions

Look at the nimshi on the tiki
teet" is a rare Yankee expression
meaning it's the girl on the sofa,
according to Falk Johnson, who has
done research on regionalisms in the
American language. A North Caro-
linian now teaching at Northwest
ern university, Johnson became in
terested in expressions used in the
midwest and carried his study fur
ther to cover terms and phrases
found in various parts of the nation.
What do you think of when some
one mentions kettle? In the mid
die west, Johnson has learned, the
housewife usually is referring to a
sauce or stew pan, but down
SOUTH" the word is more likely to
refer only to a vessel with top and
a spout, such as a teakettle. And
then there are overshoes. In Mr..
Johnsen's native state, they are rub
bers, but in the middle west they're
galoshes.
In the northern states, gravy is the
thickened liquid from meat, but in
the south it's any meat juice, wheth-
er thickened or clear. Among the
most interesting regionalisms are
those synonyms for seesaw. Outside
the south, it is often called "teeter-
totter"; in New England, 'dandle-
board; and in only one spot in the
nation, Block Island, off the coast of
Rhode Island, the natives call a see
saw by the descriptive name, tip
pity bounce"
