Letters to the Editor:
Alaskans Losing Their Freedoms,
At Ranid Rate, Kenai Woman Says
With permission of the author,
the following letter is being re
printed from the May 18 edition
of the Anchorage Daily Times.
Dear Editor:
At first I didn’t believe my
eyes in the story in the May 13
isue of the Times, which stated
that Joseph Rudd of the Public
Service Commission’s Division of
Motor Transportation decided that
although David Boyer of Kenai
was “fit, willing and able’’ to con
duct a tour, he—Judd—disapprov
ed his license application because
in his opinion such a tour was not
needed, that two other tours were
already in the same area.
I couldn’t believe that in this
lovely, huge free land of ours that
a man on a commission or board
could sit in Anchorage and decide
for a Kenai businessman that his
services were not needed. Who is
he to say ? Where does he get the
power7 Why does Boyer or any
one have to have a license?
Shades of our forefathers!
Here in Kenai, we had a whole
platoon of state-paid agency per
sonnel coming into town the oth
er day to decide the earthshaking
problem of whether a man could
start a fuel delivery servcie.
We have been informed that the
Homer-N'inilchik Borough has
been refused not because the resi
dents voted against it (they al
f
ready had 25 per cent of the vot
ers’ aproval on the petition) but
because the Boundary Commis
sion decided they couldn’t have it.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO
US?
How soon before someone de
cides only one more grocery store,
or no more hardware stores? We
are not ruled by ourselves or our
elected representatives, but by a
bunch of regulatory agencies.
I think if David Boyer, or any
one, thinks he can make it, he
should be allowed to open a tour
even if we already have a hundred
tours in the area. It’s his risk.
Whatever happened to enter
prise, to competition, to the guy
wtih gumption who knew that,
with a little extra imagination
and work, he could make a suc
cess of his undertaking? . . .

(Ed. comment—the tour pro
posed by Boyer would have offer
ed visitors to the area a guide
conducted trip to local historic
and scenic spots as well as a
glimpse of fishing fleets, canner
ies, oil operations and other
marks of Peninsula progress.)
ANCHOR POINT — Kings are
being caught in the Anchor River.
Halibut are here and being caught
by local commercial fishermen.
