WHERE IS THE CONTRAST?
While there are those “Viewing with alarm” a little
matter of an annual deficit on the Alaska Railroad,
there is nothing unusual or portending in the condition.
A State appropriates a number of millions with which
to build an automobile highway, the Federal govern
ment matches this with an equal amount, yet we do not
hear of a toll being levied with a view to making the
enterprise pay its way or dividends. It is because the
roadway is considered essential to the progress and de
velopment of the region through which it passes; it is a
protection in case of war.
One may speculate on what would have happened
to France at the outbreak of the World War had she
been devoid of roads over which to dispatch her valiant
army to meet the onrush of the enemy. These roads
were not built as dividend earners, but they paid a
thousandfold when they enabled France to halt the on
rushing horde.
The Alaska Railroad must be considered in the
same light otherwise a mistake has been made in exact
ing taxes from the people of the various states and the
nation for the purpose of road building.
Imagine allowing a great transcontinental highway
to fall into disrepair because someone fails to espouse
the erroneous idea that public improvements are, like
business investments, and that immediate dividends
should follow in its wake.
SEWARD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Th& Seward Public Library, which is moving into
the building next to the Seward Leather Works, is an
entirely civic organization, and it is hoped the people
of Seward will support it .by patronizing it. It is being
organized by a committee made up of i epi esentstiv es
from the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, Women’s
Club, the church, the school, and the Little Theater
Club The members of the board are Mr. Chilberg, Dr.
Roberts, John Nelson, Mrs. Meyer, Mrs. Reisner and
Katherine Faust.
A library membership will cost one dollar a year,
with the privilege of taking out two books on one caid
at one time. The library will be open on Monday and
Thursday afternoons and Saturday evenings.
Here is your opportunity to help give Seward a
library to be proud of. Take out a two-year subscription
in order to give the board enough money to stai t oft
right. ____
