NECESSITY OF OPENING OP
BERING RIVER GOAF FIELDS
(Continued From Yesterday.)
It is estimated bv a very able commission who studied the
subject that the coal from the Bering field can be hauled to
Cordova by rail for $1.4:2 a ton, while from the Matanuska to
Seward it will cost $.‘!.nS a ton. There -coins no justification
for the government to open Matanuska coal and keep the Ber-J
ine- field rinsed
Discrimination. (?
Aside from ull economic questions, i> it just to develop one1 «
locality in Alaska and refuse to develop another equally en- 4
‘ titled to it? Is it intentional discrimination? The interstate <
t commerce law provides: ;j
! “That it shall he unlawful for any common carrier subject i«
» to the provisions of this act to make or give any undue or un-jj
reasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, 1
company, firm, corporation, or locality, or any particular dt^- }
script inn of traffic, in any respect whatsoever, or to subject J
any particular person, company, firm, corporation, or locality. J
or any particular description of traffic, to any undue or un- 2
reasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any respect what- 4
soever.” 4
Violation of this law is punishable by fine and imprison- 1
meat. *
When the government itself goes into the railroad business, 4
though it is not amenable to the law, should it not, neverthe— 4
less, be guided bv the just principles ol the law? it it is crim— f
inal for a private corporation to strangle and kill one locality J
while it upbuilds another, should not the government itself ♦
refrain from doing the same thing? J
Private Railroad Impossible. . t
The government may expect that when the coal is opened It
somebody will at once come in and build a railroad to the Ber-jj
ing field. It has often been said that the owners of the Copper|*
River & Northwestern railway will do so. But this i> a false
hope. The Copper River people did plan to build a railroad
there at one time. They took an option on o,‘2S(> acres of coal ;j;
land, made surveys for a railroad to it, and would no doubt |:j
have built the line and opened a coal mine. But the govern— j:j
meat interposed, charged the parties with a conspiracy to mo- 3
liopolize the coal field, cancelled the title to the coal land, and
thus stopped the proposed railroad building. g
The law has now been changed so that coal lands can not be £
bought at all, but must be leased.
A railroad is expressly prohibited from taking a lease, ex
cept for coal for its own use. This is impracticable, for coal in jjj
the small quantity required’ for a railroad’s fuel supply can not ij:
be economically mined. •;
A railroad must have coat for traffic as well as tor fuel. |
A railroad is also prohibited by law from carrying any *
