ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION STOWAWAY “RACKET.” Marshal William T. Mahoney has declared war on stowaways. Despite a close vigilance at Ketchi-| kan where those caught are returned to the States, too many are being taken off boats here and at other points in Alaska the Marshal says in an- nouncing that in the future more drastic action will be taken. The usual procedure of filing vagrancy charges and sending the culprits south on the. first boat . will give penalties. Check up by the Marshal reveals that among| the stowaways taken from the boats in the last few months a high percentage have police records| and with the exception of a few youths trying to! taste a little adventure most of the offenders are of an inferior type. There have been a few which | the Marshal classes as hardened criminals. Full co-operation is given by the forces of law by the steamship companies but the stowaway! “racket” has reached such a poini{ this spring that the Marshal has decided heavy fine and jail sen-| tences for the offenders is the only answer. Thus word will get back to the States that Alaska is a hard place for the ride stealer. It is generally admitted by officers and steamer lnes officials that the stowaways would not be so plentiful without aid, and the latter have been checking closely, but the fact that crews have been rotated during the winter months made it a diffi- cult task for the companies to have a complete tab on every one of their employees. They know that one familiar with a ship can hide away one or two persons with little or no trouble until some port in the North is reached. Thus a few dollars changing hands betwein some unscrupulous crew member and the person desirous of traveling North withcut paying the regular fare has built up a vicious practice and brings to the Territory just the type Alaska does not want. Fortunately, most of them have been apprehended and returned from whence they came but doubtless some have slipped in and now the Marshal's office is checking up on questionable strangers in all ports in an effort to pick up any that might have slipped through the usual barriers. A few good stiff jail sentences and instant dismissal of anyone in steamer line employ found alding a stowaway and the trouble will soon be eradicated. Aid for the Air Mail il W | (New York Times.) ‘There is every indication that the bill introduced early this month by Representative Mead, Chairman of the House Post Office Committee, to amend the) present temporary air-mail legislaticn will come, with further amendments effected in committee, before the House of Representatives for action within the next few days. This bill, in its present form, although it cannot be considered permanent legis- lation to safeguard the development of our air-trans- port industry, does make definite and important improvements as regards the regulation and com- pensation of the air-mail carriers. It extends a badly needed helping hand to an industry which, — ' realized way to more severe charges and { THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE MONDAY APRIL 15 »haung set up an operating system whlch has become \ NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR Pt |the envy of the rest of the world, and carried through equipment programs which have enabled it to set new marks in speed, in safety and regularity of flight, finds itself nearing the end of its financial resources, due to the confusions and inequalities which resulted from the hasty air-mail centract cancellations of 1934 The Mead bill authorizes the Interstate Com- merce Commission to fix es and to increase them up to a maximum of 20 per cent above those now existing. Under this provision, rates up to 48 cents an airplane-mile for the transportation of mail| and 38 cents a mile loads in excess of 300 pounds. for loads of 300 pounds or less, may be fixed. That lhm is moderate compensation is evident when it is that it cost the Post Office Department 1$2.21 cents a mile to have the mail transported by y. The bill further makes the rate-of-pay findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission effective as of March 1, 1935, and thus gives promise | of prompt financial relief which is imperatively needed by the indusiry, in view of the fact that| some companies have only sufficient funds to carry on for a few weeks or moenths, and that even the largest are rapidly depleting their cash reserves while cperating at the sacrificial rates bid only | to retain the territory which they had pioneered. The bill further takes a long step toward pre- venting the paralleling of existing air-mail routes, which must depend for revenue to an impc:tant| degree on passenger and express receipts, by lines| not having an air-mail contract on those routes.| |1t also removes the power of cancellation of con- | tracts from the Postmaster General and vests it in the Interstate Commerce Commission after due hearing. The bill thus virtually establishes certi-| ficates of convenience and necessity, taking a step| toward permanency in the business which has been | sadly lacking heretofore. Permanent legislation to put the air mail upon a really sound footing will undoubtedly put the compensation to contractors upon the pound-mile basis. In the meantime, how- ever, the Mead bill, which has the approval as | temporary legislation of a majority of the air lines, |should go far toward ameliorating a very real condition of distress which threatens the air-trans- |port system of the country. ‘ Protection Money. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) 4 As a rule, “protection money” has a very ugly connotation. It refers to the money a racketeer | collects from his victims for giving them “protec- ticn” from enemies, actually from the racke |himself. The term can be applied quite logically, however, to a very different sort of racket. Th !is the less understood and more far-reaching racket {involved in protective tariffs on commodities which are not preduced 'in this country to any appre- ciable extent. In a very real sense, we are all lof us paying “protection money” through import duties where there is no industry to protect. Jolan Abbink, a leading figure in foreign trade at New York, told the Foreign Trade Club at the |Netherland Plaza recently just how this racket works. The steel industry, he said, has been com- pelled to pay $98,000,000 a year duty on imported manganese, to protect an “industry” which at its 1929 peak employed only 358 persons. “We would ‘o pay a wag n and child ¢ have done better,” he observed, $20,000 a year to every man, wom - nected with the domes! manganese industry, and allow them to whittle for the rest of their lives.” That would ke cheaper than taxing an important item of our import trade to protect a negligible domestic enterprise. Some other cases are even more extreme. A handful of lobbyists can sometimes get import duties | imposed which hamper the well-being of thousands | or millions of their fellow citizens. The strongest| believer in the principle of protective tariffs cannot defend such examples of robbery. | Executive tariff-making as it is being developed by Secretary Cordell Hull and his aids should eliminate many of the worst abuses of the tariff.| But already we see many signs that the lobbyists| are breaking down the effectiveness of the new technic. Unless public opinion is firm in support lof the reciprocal tariff movement, we shall still| have to pay “protection money” for the convenience of imaginary industries. | The prospective customer approached the art shop “I want to see some of those pictures that are done by scratching,” he advised an attendant. j The clerk thought a moment, and then his face | lighted up, “Oh, yes” he said, “you mean itch- | ings.”—(Christian Science Monitor.) | At a time when movie actresses seem to be about the only females that matter, Mrs. Penrose Lyly says that Greta Garbo is lovely. As for Mae West —the reason all the men like her, according to Mrs. Lyly, is that she's healthy and everything about | her is in the right place.—(Berkshire Eagle.) | —_— ( Now is a good time to get out your lawn mower and put it in good shape.
