GETTING DIZZY
Like Will Rogers, all we know is what we see in i
the papers but we would like to wise up how the gov- j
eminent can square its move to withdraw 49 navy ves
sels from service to bring the navy within the limita
tions of the London Disarmament Treaty and throw |
4,800 men out of work while at the same time Herb
Hoover is lying awake nights over this here now un-!:
employment problem.
This old government of ours is sure strong for be
ing consistent. Look how they sent our old friend Kel- j,
logg all over the world getting everybody to sign offj
fighting and he’d no sooner got back than Congress
passed a bill to build 15 battle cruisers. And no sooner
do they pass that bill than Herb asks all the boys tor
get together in London and agree to scrap a lot of bat- ;■
tleships. Now they are throwing men out of jobs in
departments of sgovernment like these navy boat
and the Alaska Railroad in the name of economy while
trying to jam through emergency measures to provide
funds to create more jobs. Artificial prosperity.
Now if that dont give a guy a headache trying to -
figure it out, what on earth will?
BRINGING HOME THE BACON
“Did it ever occur to you/’ asks a friend, “that if
the Alaska Railroad wants to increase its revenues it
might better lower rates instead of raising them?
“Take it this way. Supposing you were a merchant
with your shelves stocked with goods but no business
to speak of at your current scale of prices. D. you
imagine that you would increase your revenues by I
raising your scale of prices? Doesn’t it seem logical
that if you lowered your prices with occassional bar
gains and smaller profits you might increase your
sales and realize a greater gross and net?”
There seems to be something in that argument.
The Alaska Railroad has the goods to sell but so
few takers that the upkeep is more than the income.
Under the geographical circumstances and what might1
be called the industrial condition of the country pene
trated by the road a change of rates in freight, up or j
down, would probably make little difference. ji
But regarding passenger traffic, there is a bay J*
horse of another color. We believe a substantial reduc
tion in passenger fares all along the line would have a
marked effect in stimulating travel, much more pro
nounced during the summer but to a large extent in
the winter too. Maintenance cost would be the same and
operation little greater even if more and bigger
trains became necessary. Summer excursion and vaca
tion rates and special tourist rates even for Alaskans
might induce many to loosen up for a little pleasure
cn streams or to transact a little business in
neighboring towns. In other words we might move
more freely along the railroad belt and the resulting
figures for the road might be in the black instead of
the red.
We dont like to be mercenary but if Aimee Semple
MacPherson and her mother and ‘‘friend” Ma Kenne
dy have saved a soul for every dollar they have made
in the process we can agree with Aimee’s latest title,
“God’s Star Saleswoman.”
Some give according to their means; others ac
cording to their meanness.
Sometimes the father gives the bride awTay; in
other cases the bridegroom has to find out for himself.
Election time is the time of the season newspaper- j
men like because it is open season on politicians. Be
ing big men of the West and North they don’t mind a
little kidding. That is, not much.
