’ ANOTHER $10,300
ANCHORAGE AREA

George Apostol, special assistant,
Is returning to Juneau Thursday

torney General J. Gerald Williams.
Williams said that Apostol has
collected an additional $10,000 in
delinquent taxes in the Anchorage
area. This totals about $40,000 of
back veterans, income, school tax
and delinquent business license
funds collected there in the past
ten days.
Mrs. Apostol and three daughters
are due to arrive in Juneau from
Seattle Friday to join Mr. Apostol
here in making their home, Wil
liams said.
FIX DATES FOR
BUDDY POPPY SALE
Plans are being formulated for
the 30th annual nationwide sale of
Buddy Poppies by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the date of May
26th has been fixed for the dis
tribution of these familiar flowers
in Juneau, according to Comman
der J. J. Brunette of Taku Post
5559.
As in previous years, these sym
bols of the fields of Flanders will
be sold by a group of volunteer
young girls and women, assisted
by the members of the Ladies Aux
iliary of Taku Post.
A record sales force of at least
40 women and girls is being organ
ized. The goal for the 1951 Buddy
Poppy Sale has been fixed at 3,000
Buddy Poppies.
■ Most of the money that we col
lect in this sale will remain right
here in our own community, to help
finance the relief and welfare work
which we have undertaken in be
half of our own veterans in need,
and their dependents," explains
Commander Brunette. »
“The balance of the proceeds of I
the annual Buddy Poppy sale is us
ed to help maintain the nationwide
rehabilitation service of our organ
ization,” Brunette added. "For ex
ample, we contribute one penny
for each poppy sold to the opera
tion of the V.F.W. National Home
for widows and orphans at Eaton
Rapids, Michigan. This is the only
home of its kind in the world. It!
was founded in 1925. Since then,
hundreds of orphans of veterans1
have been given the opportunity to
become healthy, self-supporting'
citizens.”

ing rates by from 20^ to 33 1 3%
and general merchandise by from
19^ to 24”;, to cite two very import
ant items. During this period your
company was not only faced with
rising costs in general but incurred
all kinds of additional costs in the
process of driving the Alaska Trans
portation Company out of business.
These circumstances would* distort
further the facts you list as to your
increased costs.
Although I do not like the pros
pect of increased rates, which fur
ther augment the already high liv
ing costs, I am not unaltecably op
posed to increases which can be
demonstrated as justified fair and
necessary In order to correct the
completely erroneous impression cre
ated by your letter as to my position,
I will list what I do oppose.
I am opposed to the concept that
any and every cost incurred by a
carrier is a legitimate justification
of rates present or proposed, that
every incompetence of a carrier
should be provided for in rates, and
that a tie*in between a carrier and
an industry in which the carrier’s
owners have a great interest should
be ignored in the face of clear evi
dence that an unwarranted rate pre
ference is being paid for by unduly
high rates charged to Alaska’s resi
dents and other industries.
I am opposed to the continued'
existence of discriminatory rates.'
Vou have increased the canned sal- 1
mon industry rates upward, as you 1
are fond of telling us of late, but ]
:he discrimination is still not re- !
moved. One hundred percent in
creases on rate bases which are
themselves unjust do not change ■
basic injustice.
I am opposed to disproportion- j
ately high rates between Alaska
ports, which handicap the Alaska
shipper who wishes to send com-1
modities from one Alaskan port to
another, and discriminates against j
him in favor of a Seattle supplier.
I have urged such reform in your
rate structure for years.
I am opposed to the automatic
granting of approval by a so-called
regulatory agency of the demands
of a carrier that its tariffs be in
creased without prior investigation
of the justice and need for these
increases. I would oppose such ar
bitrary and unfair practices in any
case, but in a highly inflationary
period such as the present I feel it
my duty to do so with even greater
vigor. “Escrow” is no solution. Rate
increases are pyramided in prices,
and price increases beget wage in
creases, and wage increases beget
further price increases for goods and
services. Stabilization policy alone
justifies an inquiry into the merits
of a rate increase before it is grant
ed, not a grant followed by an in
quiry into whether the grant was
merited.
I have petitioned the peaerai
Maritime Board for a suspension of
the increases which you have re
cently filed and I have requested
that hearings and investigations be
conducted as you charge. I fail to
see, however, that my insistence
upon this leads to your conclusion
that by so doing "the basic facts
and problems of the trade are ig
nored.” Public hearings, technical
investigations by. the regulatory
body, and judicial reviews are the
only means by which we can get at
these “basic facts and problems.”
They are the only means by which
the public is given assurance that
due consideration will be given to
the effects of the proposed revisions
upon the interests of shippers and
the general public and that the level
of rates will be established so as to
assure the carrier a fair, just and
reasonable return for his effort and
investment.
In view of your repeated public
statements that the increases are
justified, therefore, I cannot under
stand your reluctance to have the
matter aired and your position pos
sibly vindicated through such hear
ings and investigations.
Sincerely yours,
(s) ERNEST GRUENING.
Governor.
