__By SIG DIGREE
Fog-bound Juneau came in for
some bad publicity prior to the
opening of the i960 Legislature
this week. For four days, the
Capital city was completely blan
keted by fog. 18 senators and
Vepresen/tafteves spent several
nights at Annette fsfaftd and
Kotchttem because of the inability
of planes to land.
According to the Daily Alaska
Empire, xridtimers at Juneau were
looking up and saying they “never
saw anything like it before.”
Big' teen legislators were looking
down and saying they hoped they
would never see anything like it
again.
Now that the legislators afre
assembled in Juneau we hope the
fog episode isn't an omen of the
state of mind they will find them
selves in -as they ponder the pro
blems of the State. Should such a
condition exist, we hope It will
lift before they consider the knot
ty ESC problem, or that of the
budget and tax problem.
Prom all we can gather, the law
makers will quite likely wind up
by again favoring the ESC biM they
drafted prior to adjournment last
year, which was vetoed by Gov.
Egan later. Thris isn’t going to
solve the dilemma of a shortage in
the fund in the years to come, but
that apparently isn’t the question.
We are inclined to favor the
.State Chamber of Commerce re
commendations which do offer a
hope of a surplus, rather than a
continually mounting deficit. Even
the slight increase to be paid by
She employer under its plan
wouldn't be so bad if the plan of
fered a hope of the fund becoming
solvent.
.While the lawmakers are draw
ing their $90 a day (figuring their
jtoosent -salaries on a basis «>r a 60
day session) it is (hoped t.,«y will
not g0t,$$fir>vey$d in the Bubble
Httom of the Baranof or get too
much sawdust from the Red Dog
under their shoes when consider
ing the affairs of State. la these
times we can do with some hard,
edd pondering—it’s the only way
to come up with the right answers.
It might be pointed out that the
House has 84 hills that wore in
troduced in the last session, which
wiM be up for consideration in
this one. The Senate has 37 bills
as holdover* from the last session.
The House enacted into law 133 of
a total of 249 bills introduced,
wbnGe the Senate had 132 hills in
troduced. and enacted 67 into law.
Human nature being what it is,
some people derive a great satis
faction in learning that somebody
else has more troubles, bigger bills
than thv-/ have.
So yew tcncan the high cost of
winter fuel, edc? You ain’t seen
n«hm- yet! We mentioned the
hi*;h cost of foci at Barrow in an
eariior piece in this paper. Remem
ber, we said coal was $42 a b*a.
Stove oil cost $32 a drum (50 gal.)
with the drum or $27.50 if a con
tainer is supplied. Kerosene is $1
a gallon. An average family
spends one-quarter to one-half of
its income for fuel.
• We learned all this from an ar
ticle appearing in the Fairbanks
New-Miner. An enterprising old
f&Uow has a coal mine a few miles
distant, and supplies the villagers
with coal. He makes a 75 mile trip
twice a week with 25 tons of coal
eoch trip, which goes in a frutiry
when the Eskimos can’t get oil.
The one ship a year that supplies
them with oil, can’t carry an ad
equate amount to last the year.
Did you know the best time to
travel the Alaska Highway is in
the winter? Take that bit of inter
esting Information from a truck
driver who makes the trip reg
ularly summer and , winter. For
that reason, there is lots of traffic
on the highway, even during week
days. Jack Ryan, of the New
Miner, writing an account of the
trip by truck he recently made,
stated driving conditions are ex
cellent The road, he said, is hard,
smooth and dust-free; the snow
covered scenery is beautiful, and
lodges and cafes along the route
have plenty of room for another
customer. In summer, he said, flat
tihes are common, but in winter
the Snow covers and cushions sharp
rocks, nails, etc.
