There two private owned railroads operating as common carriers Alaska, and one of them has its greatest mileage in Can-| ada. Neither of them has such problems as that faced by the Alaska Railroad, and the conditions of operations are so dissimilar that any comparison attempted to be made is worse than worthless. The Copper River & Northwestern Railroad,’ which links the producing Kennecott copper mines | with the ocean at Cordova, was constructed for ihe| sole purpose of hauling ore mined and milled by interests which owned both mines and carrier It was not and is not dependent upon public sup-| port and patronage for revenue. Therefore, the rates it charges are not an essential element ir the tonnage hauled nor in the revenue received by :tsl owners. Almost surely if it had no such squrce of | tonnage as the Kennecott mines it would ecither have to encourage substantial development in the | only manner possible, that is through cheap rates, or shut down. The White Pass & Yukon Route, operating be- tween Skagway and Dawson, is almost similarly situated. It is a “key” route to the upper Yukon areas, has an assured passenger traffic from tourist steamers of several steamship companies which do not connect with the Alaska Railroad. It has no such mileage nor investment as the latter. It is not called upon to play the part of a development | promoter, nor was it ever designed as such on a| broad scale. The tariffs of both the privately owned roads | are not exhorbitant under all of the circumstances. No more are the rates which the Senate Committee proposes for the Alaska Railroad. But the latter project stands as the Government's contribution to- ward Territorial development, which is not common to the others, and what is fair and just for the them is altogether unsound and unfair for it. are n EDUCATION FOR WAR ORPHANS. Enactment of State legislation to aid World War orphans in obtaining an education in the thirty- eight States where such scholarship laws have not yet passed, will be advocated by The American Legion in 1931, according to an announcement by Ralph T. O'Neil, National Commander of the Le- gion. He has forwarded to the various Legion department commanders a copy of the model bill approved by the Legion's committee on the educa- tion of war orphans with a letter urging that the departments get behind a move to have it enacted | into law at the 1931 sessions of their respective | Legislatures. “This model bill is the result of a great dea]! | phans, ¢ plained, | course of of study by the Legion's Committee on War Or- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JAN. 10, 1931. the letter has been explained that the amounts which will be asked, as a result of such legislation in each of the States, is so small that it is believed your State Legislature will not| hesitate to pass such a bill when the matter is ex- At this time it is estimated that about cth of the war orphans are eighteen years , or older. Unless prompt action is taken by your Legislature, many of these children will be deprived of the education which the Legion, through the work of its Committee on the Education of War Orphans, is endeavoring to give them.” The war orphan scholarship acts already passed in ten States appropriate from $150 to $250 a year | for the use of each orphan. This money is used to pay board, room rent, for matriculation fees, books, supplies and other school expenses. Through the efforts of the Legion, many schools and colleges| throughout the country are aiding the orphans by remitting fees and making other concessions. In addition, the orphans receive aid from the Federal| Government which amounts to $10 a month for one child and $6 a month for each additional child| in the same family. Major General P. C. Harris, U. S. A, (Retired) is National Director of Education of War Orphans for the Legion. The purpose of the Legion, accord- ing to Harris, is not that every war orphan obtains college education but to provide them with a instryction or study which will cnable them to pursue a profitable vocation when they become of age and earn their own living. | POSTPONEMENT IS FAVORABLE. In postponing the dedication of the Territorial capitol building from January 31 to February 14.: Juneau has gained two weeks in which to }mrfecli its plans for that occasion. It should be made a gala affair in keeping with the importance of the occasion and the elegance of the fine building whica| marks this city as Alaska's capital. Special 30\\"3 round trip rates to be offered by transportation companies probably will bring delegations here Irom all parts of the Territory. Those from western, interior and far northern regions will be the city's guests for a week or more. During their stay, they( should be shown every courtesy and entertainment | arranged to insurc that their visit will be wholly enjoyable. | Work. (New York Times.) What was pronounced a curse at the gate of Eden has now come to be looked upon as a bless- ing. In Milton’s lines the doom is written: In the sweat of thy Face shalt thou eat Bread thou thou of the ground thy Birth, For dust thou art, and sha]t to dust return. i Today the most welcome word that can come to| millions is a promise of employment—to have a| share In the world's work. The song on which! Till return unto the ground, for Out | | | wast taken, know 1 many of the older generation were brought 'lp;— urged one to work in the morning hours, to work| 'mid springing flowers, to work even through the| sunny noon, and then on till the “last heam fadeth, | fadeth to shine no more.” But it was a joyous song, and the only unhappy note in it was the one that suggésted the oncoming of night, “when man works no more.” The most fervent prayer that most men | make, especially those who have not much goods" laid up against days of ease, comes from ancient times: “May I be taken in the midst of my work.” So far from work being a curse, Carlyle speaks of it as “the grand cure of all the maladies and | miseries that ever beset mankind.” It is the best physician. So in seeking to find employment for those out of work, the problem of misery is at-! tacked at its root. Skill in labor is man’s highest vocation, but it is through labor of some sort,| whether by hand or brain, whether of one's choice or by compulsion, whether as a vocation or an| avocation, that he finds his way to his better and best self. Giving a man a job is the best form of helpfulness, if he is still able to work. What has been done by the Emergency Committee on Unemployment is the most beneficent form of helpfulness to the able-bodied and able-minded— to those “whom strength and years permit.” That day is blest for any such which brings them their | work—and he is a philanthopist who finds labor for those in need of its medicines. It ‘has been often said that there is no good | obtainable without labor; but it is better said that| there is no good that is to be put above the nbll“y‘l and the opportunity to labor. Tolerance is something you realize the country | needs more than any other thing after eleven years of Prohibition.—(Buffalo Courier-Express.)
