Hits Rate Boost With unmistakable 2mphasis he condemned the recent increase in freight and passenger rates over the Alaska Railroad. He termed i an unwise policy, calculated to de- ter rather than promote sound eco- nomic development,. and tend tc build up rather than wipe out a rail deficit. “I wasn't a member of Congress when the construction of the road was authorized and appropriations made for it, but I have no doubt at that time, in the debates on the subject, the prediction was made that a deficit would occur for a great many years. No similar road was ever built through an unsettled and undeveloped country that did not have its serious financial diffi- culties, and the Alaska Railroad is no exception. sections in which the farming lands are situated, is shipped in from the States,” he said. “This ought not ‘o be.

More livestock for farms already leveloped, more farms with set- lers selected with a view of the sonditions to be met and the op- sortunties that exist locally, were idvocated by him.
