the sub-chairmen and all who assist
ed in making the collections,” said
■*
Chairman Hazelet to a Times repre
sentative today. “While the total is
not as great as w&s hoped for, it is
fairly liberal when we take into con
sideration that three or four other
drives were on at the same time.”
Every cent subscribed has been re
mitted to the treasurer, all local ex
penses of whatever nature having
been taken care of by the local chair
men.

TERRITORIAL SHIPPING BOARD
PLANS TO INCREASE LICENSE
TAX ON VESSELS TO S3 PER TON

(Continued from Page One)
most efficient control of the situation.
It will enable us to keep the best
ships on regular routes, giving a de
pendable service. It will reduce costs
such as demurrage and marine insur
ance, because the best ships will be
kept out of the most dangerous waters,
where most of the marine losses oc
cur. Insurance rates now everage 15
per cent, and one American line now
pays nearly a million dollars in pre
miums each year. I am confident that
by this means we shall stabilize con
ditions so that common carriers and
the postoffice department will get to
gether and give Alaska a proper mail
service, instead of as at present, treat
ing the United States mails as freight,
with no obligation on the part of the
carrier to maintain routes or regular
service.
“Those Alaskans who are now pay
ing almost the entire revenue which
supports the common carriers have
neither the time nor money to journey
to Washington to submit complaints.
No information can be compiled at
present by any complainant which
would enable a proper presentation of
a cause, however just. We seek only
such control of transportation facili
ties by fair means in no way conflict
ing withe national body, and always
subject to review by the United
States Shipping Board. I think it is
only fair that the people of the terri
tory who alone pay the bills should he
permitted to handle their own prob
lems. This bill will enable them to
do so. We would simply increase the
present license tax, make all vessels
of more than twenty tons pay it (pri
vate shippers as well as common car
riers), and then assist those lines
which have no special interest to serve
to give the territory a satisfactory
regular service, on the same plan that
Canada has successfully used for
twenty years right in our own Alaska
waters.
“President Furuseth of the Seamen’s
Union vigorously opposed any public
operation of ships before the senate
commerce committee yesterday, say
ing that ‘government ownership and
operation of ships is government own
ership of men and means slavery for
the seamen.’ ”
SOMMERS, Acting Governor.
