ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARG] THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER FVBHCA‘HON NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. Vice-President and Bt Aan s Matter. use for THE RATE HEARINGS After weeks of hearings and verbal battles bes now and put into bonds will be of great use "°4erclsed by young and old. Through tween Alaska’s representatives and Federal officials, the consensus seems to be that increased rates of freight and passenger service between Seattle and Alaska will be allowed to continue at a surcharge| based on the actual cost of new war risks and a fair return on fair value. Thereby hangs a tale. We do not claim, some persons have, that the steamship companies are not entitled to increased revenue to bear these extra costs. It is undoubtedly true that these expenses have added heavy burdens to the carrier companies. as These expenses do exist. There is no guestion but what war risk hull insurance, war bonus for crews and officers, personal effects insurance for! crews and officers, pretection and indemnity insurance, and repatriation insurance, represent a problem that should not be met alone by the carriers. But neither should they be met alone by the residents of Alaska who are being forced to pay them through higher prices.. and internment This controversy seems to have started because gie for Britain. certain Federal agencies failed to coordinate their policies. One division of the Maritime Commission ordered the carriers to carry these various forms of war risk tered the war Bundles for Britain organized Bundles | heavy benuses to crews and for Bluejackets.

They appealed to the Division of Regulation of the Maritime Commission and received permission to pass on the war risk costs to shippers by means of a surcharge. This meant that prices in Alaska would be inflated, placing the entire burden upon the residents of the Territory. Thus, the real question seems to have passed unsolved.

Un- questionably, those persons involved could not have i failed. to see that this inéreased burdem, instead of being hung on a slender string over the heads of Alaska residents, should be apportioned throughout ‘(hn entire nation._ I But the examiner in these hearings has not been ‘a\ke(l to report on this fundamental question at all. | The quasi-judicial procedure which has governed |the entire procedure has buried the basic issue un- | All the ex- {aminer can do is recommend adjustment of the rates to meet actual rises in expenses to the carriers.

We hope they | ;s\lll be successful GRATIFYING RESPONSE The results of a recent Gallup Poll on the | readiness of American workers to permit sizable pay | deductions for the purchase of defense bonds are extremely encouraging. | The poll discloses that two-thirds of all full- |time employed persons are in favor of 10 percent ‘wagc deductions to buy defense bonds. More than |54 percent would safiction 15 percent deductions. ; A majority of those who opposed the pay- | deduction plan either were purchasing bonds of 10 ‘m 15 percent of their incomes or were in favor of | voluntary bond buying. ‘The principal reasons given by voters who favor Ilhe deduction plan are that the government needs |the money to win the war, and that money saved families after the war when consumer purchasing power will have to be bolstered.
