ALASKA RAILROAD EPOCHAL EXPERIMENT
of the bitter opposition of interests which behold in
I N it SPITE
the first move toward the adoption of government owner
ship of public utilities, the Alaskan railroad bill has been enact
ed. This epochal measure provides for the expenditure of $35,-
000,000, to be appropriated by Congress as necessary, for the
construction and purchase of 1,000 miles of line from the coast
to the vast interior coal fields. The ancient wail of “socialistic!
greeted the first appearance of the proposal; but as a similar
complaint has been registered at the inception of every present
day reform of any note, it fell upon careless ears. The main
idea, to the people at large, is that the construction of this first
publicly owned line seems to presage the discontinuance of tri
bute to the barons of our several great railroad systems. The
only danger, and an ever present one. to the paternal supervision
of a road in Alaska or elsewhere, is the temptation either to ne
potism or the stifling red tape of bureaucracy—or, maybe, both
evils at once. The one promotes inefficiency, the other petty
tyranny. As a momentous experiment the new Alaskan road
should be amply safeguarded against both.
SENATOR GREER, O f ASHLAND
ERT R. GREER, the brilliant editor of the Ashland Tidings,
has been mentioned as the Republican candidate for the
state senate, from this district. Editor Greer has not yet defin
itely determined to enter the lists, but neither has he manifested
an unwillingness to hearken to the arguments of his friends. In
all probability he will venture upon the campaign. Certain it is
that he possesses every qualification for the senatorial honors,
and would creditably and effectively represent Southern Oregon
in the councils of the state. Few men are better versed in the
needs of this district, or the state at large, or are more capable
of forcing a fight to a successful termination—either by reason
and geniailty or the sterner measures of open warfare. His no
mination would materially strengthen the Republican ticket—
which is no longer necessarily partisan in local issues.
