C. B. Kent, attorney-examiner of
the United States Shipping Board,
writes Delegate Sulzer as follows in
reference to Alaska rates, a matter
of vital importance to the res'dents
of this territory:
“The Board has directed that full
hearings be held at Seattle, Juneau,
Seward, and Anchorage, between May
10th and May 30th, 1918. Special
hearings, in addition to the foregoing,
will be held, if desired, at other ports
enroute to or from Anchorage, pro
vided such hearings may not involve
a detention at any port beyond the
time required for loading and dis
charging cargo.
“The exact dates of hearings can
not be determined at this time, but
seasonable notice thereof will be pub
lished from Seattle.
“If, after hearing, it shall be found
that any of the rates approved by
the Board and made effective on the
16th ultimo are unjust or unreason
able, reductions accordingly will be
made, and reparation in proper cases
will be awari^al upon the basis of the
just and reasonable rates thereafter
to be established. As a result of this
arrangement, the interests of shippers
will be conserved exactly as if the
i advances in question had been sus
pended until after hearing.
“In view of the public importance
of these hearings, it is desired that
all interests shall be represented, and
your co-operation to that end will be
appreciated.’’

Daily Times, Delegate Sulzer writes:
“I hope you will be good enough to
give as much publicity as possible to
this matter in order that all Alaska
shippers may have an opportunity to
be heard and be enabled to present
all the facts in regard to excessive
transportation rates. Also I trust
our people will present their views
freely upon the question of fresh fish
shipments and granting foreign ves
sels the privilege of engaging in our
Coastwise trade.”

ZONOTEM
To take action on the matter of the
zone system of postal taxes, the mem
bers of the Fairbanks Commercial
club met for the purpose of discuss
ing the problem as pertains to Alaska.
The zone system of postal taxes
on second class matter, made a part
of the war revenue bill at the extra
session of congress, is of great con
cern to th" reading public, and they
should understand its full meaning,
that they may make a protest against
it.
On account of dividing the country
into zones and imposing an extra
charge for distance from the place of
publication, the postage expense to
the publisher has been increased in
some places to five times the former
rate.
As an illustration: A man at Cam
bridge, Mass., will pay one and one
half cents postage on his magazine
published in Boston; a man in North
Carolina 3 cents; Texas 5 cents; and
a man in Portland, Oregon, five and
one-half cents. It is therefore evident
that readers of magazines and other
publications will have to pay from 50
to 100 per cent more as subscribers.
To enter a protest against the un
fairness of the proposition to the in
habitants of Alaska, the Commercial
club authorized the drawing up of the
following resolution, which will be
sent on to Washington:
Whereas Congress has recently en
acted an amendment to the postal
laws by increasing postal rates on
periodicals from 50 to 900 per cent by
a “zoning” system;
And Whereas if such law is enforc
ed it will mean ruin for many periodi
cals of wide circulation and seriously
restrict the circulation of all other
helpful current literature and thus re
tard the culture and economic devel
opment of the Nation:
And Whereas said law, if enforced,
will be especially injurious to the peo
ple of Alaska and will penalize our
readers to the maximum of the in
creased rates for the reason that
Alaska is remote from the great pub
lishing centers, and that such enact
ment will be pernicious in its effect
upon our men and women and boys
and girls by depriving them of their
sources of education, information and
recreation by enormously restricting
their reading matter;
Wherefore, Be It Resolved, that
Fairbanks Commercial Club, of Fair
banks, Alaska, most emphatically op
poses and denounces said amendment
to the postal laws as a harmful, un
! American and sectionalizing postal
law, and that the same should be re
pealed.
