CHIDING AN OCTOPUS
Once more we have an accusation
by the government in Washington
tbat the packing trust is overcharg
ing for its meat. Although the price
tc the producer has declined the
■wholesale price remains as high as
ever. This time it is the agricul
tural department that tells the miser
able consumer how unhappy he
should be and, no doubt, is.
The latest melancholy reference
to the defiant meat trust serves to
emphasize the failure of the adminis
tration to secure any relief for the
public. Year after year the adminis
tration investigators have been rip
ping the welkin with cries of rage
and resentment. The beefy octopus
has been described in terms that have
run the diapason of reproach, but has
continued to octopate as perniciously
and perfidiously as of yore.
Meantime the consumer has waited
for administration rage to coalesce
into action. From time to time it
has occurred to him that the admin
istration might pass from reproach
to repression, from recommendation
to law's embodying the recommenda
tion. But just when the consumer
had comfortably assured himself that
the legislative and administrative
knights of Woodrow’s table round
would sally forth to smite the octo
pus, the air has been filled with new
lamentations, objurgations, denuncia
tions and recommendations.
Why they have failed to slay the
octopus they do not stop to explain.
They just shriek.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The failure of congress to make
a sufficient appropriation for the up
keep of Alaskan roads and trails is
a serious disappointment to the resi
dents of Valdez and Fairbanks, who
depend upon the trail to the inner
metropolis for inter-communication.
The road commission the past week
has been compelled to pull several
crews off the road and confine work
to necessary repairs only.—Valdez
Miner.
Five hundred men could be used on
the Seward division for railroad work.
By men is meant pick and shovel ex
perts, those who can handle gravel
and level up dirt under ties.—Seward
Gateway.
The Marblehead steamed south the
other day after having frantically
rushed up to Alaska to protect us
from fish pirates while the Vicks
burg was cruising out to the West
ward. Having been protected so
thoroughly for so long we will be a
little fidgety at nights for a time, as
we have only one gunboat and a sub
chaser in the channel.—Douglas
News.
President Redwood, of the Chamber
of Commerce, has wired Delegate
Grigsby, requesting him to see Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels about the
expenditure of the $1,000,000 recent
ly appropriated by the congress for
the development of the Matanuska
coal fields. Good idea. We want that
money expended. We don’t want a
repetition of the fiasco of last year,
when a similar amount was appro
priated, and through some fluke or
other reverted back into the treasury.
