The Transportation Problem

Adequate water transportation at eau table rates still remains the number one problem in any consid- eration of the development of Alas ka's resources and the building of a sound economy.
 Repeatedly over the years The Alaska Weekly has pleaded for an approach to this problem based on dispassionate study of facts, de- void of political demagoguery and completely divorced from the an tagonisms engendered ty real or fancied injustices of the past

 That he has gone into the case carefully and objectively is obvious to anyone familiar with Alaska anc it's shipping problems. It is an in teresting resume of these prob lens.
 From his study are these ex- cerpts
 "IC appears to US as unreasonable to expect one carrier to servics the Territory during the entire year during most of the months of whicl substantial operating deficits oc- cur, namely December, January February and March, and then have to share the profitable months with any other steamship operators that might care to serve for only one or two montrs Of tie year or only the corfitable pert or ports.
 Ire extent 10 which the traffic to the major ports IS diluted by competition linn ts the ability 0 the companies to serve the smaller ones. Any company serving only the principal ports of Alaska and SC getting the cream of the business not only does not render service to the smaller ports, but makes it dif- ficult, if not impossible, for other companies to serve the smaller ports. Tn the minds of many people the foblem is-shall t be service to the profit producing centers only, for getting the smaller communities Cr shall it be service to all of AL aska? There can be no discrimina- ton, for service to all of Alaska alone inslres an orderly develop ment of the Territory"

perfect" Mr.. Mencken's credo o1
writing Is summed up obhquely
in an appraisal Of William Dean
Howells: The profound dread
and agony Of life. the surge OF
passion and aspiration. the grand
crash and glitter of things, the
tragedy that runs eternally under
the surface-all this the critic
will seek in vain in Howell's ele-
CANT and shallow volumes"
Never q Dull Line.
Are those the words of q mar
who could only mock? He felt
that Henry James might have
become a great novelist If he
had gone from the sterility OF
New England to Chicago In
stead Of to England. And Mr.
Mencken adds: The notion that
James was a master mind is con-
fined to the sort Of person who
used to regard Browning as the
greatest Of poets"
h On music, which he knows pro-
foundly, he can be rhapsodic. The
first movement of Beethoven s
Eroica symphony 'is the noblest
piece of absolute music ever writ
ten in the sonata form. :"
Schubert's quest was "for the per-
feet beauty that is always elusive,
always just beyond the sky-rim.' u

low-raters of Brahms, LAS well

were printed in the American Mer-
curry, which. Mr.. Mencken and
George Jean Nathan later edited
The fact that Mr.. Mencken
never (as I firmly believe) wrote

gaging and puckish at his most
serious moments, that he owns

The authors story is that the

reau of Federal Supply. for exam

And the military establishment

The businessman must learn
that in doing business Uncle Sam
calls the signals. It Is UP to the

ture down correctly.
Act like an honest citizen and

EN- advises. A Congressman's help
may be useful on occasion, but
the businessman unfamiliar with
Washington may be surprised to
learn that many times 1t is best
to steer clear of the elected rep

The detailed business Of gov
ernment. the author explains. is
mostly in the hands Of non-politi-

INE1GtdBOR
BY Homer Croy. (Duell, Sloan &
Pearce; $500
Jesse James was curious mix
ture of ruthlessness and decency
He could kill men without a qualm
and yet his record reveals many
acts of kindness and chivalry. In
the early years Of his banditry. he
was regarded in Missouri as sort
of Robin Hood who robbed banks
and railroads-none too popular
with the pioneer farmers and small
townsmen - and never bothered
ordinary folk.
Homer Croy, the novelist. was
born the year after Jesse was
betrayed and killed by one Of his
own men. The country around the
authors birthplace still is haunted
by memories of Jesse and his
brother Frank and their hard
riding crew. Jesse, though younger
than Frank, was the dynamo of
the gang. The band was broken
up before Bob Ford. In 1882. shot
Jesse. in the back to collect the
$4,000 reward offered for the
leader, dead or alive. After Jesse's
death, Frank reformed and lived
quietly on his farm. He died In
his bed in 1915.
The story of the James boys
has been told innumerable times,
factually and f1ctionally, In dime
novels and serious studies. But Mr..
Croy has done a diligent Job Of
digging up facts and dispelling
myths. He has written only what
seemed after careful research au-
thentic. and he presents q number
Of new episodes. It's still q thrilling
story, and Mr.. Croy tells 1t with
the intimate warmth Of one
brought up ON q saga woven into
the lore Of the Western frontier
