Ikagwat People Dmit tc Force Down the Tanff to a Reasonable Basis People In the state will be some what stacsered to read the following from the Daily Skagway News on the exorbitant charges by the White Piass tc Yukon route for carrying 21 lies. The News says Thu 1ik 'rttht tariff sheet of the White Pass at Yukon Route, effective October 10, I Ml, and now attempted tc be enforced, quotes the following tariff charges from Skagway to the aummit a distance of H miles: Orour "A." under S tor. lots $2 per 10' pounds H" per ton IT-' per carload of IS tona. Group , B " $: M per 4I per tee ttw per r load. OffNI -C: t:.2B per 100 II I per ton 1919 pet carload. Group "t " M-M ler 1 Sr" per ton $1 62' per corkwd On single pieces weighing (final to I0H pounds from to 1" per cent Is added to the abov quo'ori rates Single pieces weighing over & pounds take a pecta'. rate, presumably higher Ship ments In quantity of five ton to W tons, a reduction of 4 to 11 per cent is offered I am Informed tha' for shipments of over 2' tons a cor respondtngly greater per oent of re dtictior. Is made The aecretary of the Interior nor axy other public official has the pow er to make lawful Its extortionate rates charged by the White Pass k Tukoc route and he never a tempted to do such a thing The law provides that all charges for transportation by Alaska railroads shall lie poeted In two places In their depot. I have not been able to find these posted In the depot o: the White Pas Yukon route at Skagway Congress having failed to fix the rates the common law. as crystallied Into form by the various decisions of the higher courts and now In force tn Alaska, restrict the charges by all public carriers to "reasonable rates." I'nrt.'r the common law all i barges collated hy public carriers above rs aonable rates can be recovered The White Pass a- Yukon route is a public carrier a publh highway built upon the pub!:, domain and largely from material belonging to the public I. e.. citixens of the t'nited Slates. It oc cupies exclusively the only available pass across the mountains which privilege Is worth not less than II ihhi one am! for all of which It has never paid the consideration of so much as one dollar Our public serv ant the congress granted thts valu aule right of way and franchise to the Whit.- Pas a Yukon route- solely and entirely upon tb- implied consid eration that they the company should make their rates "reasonable" and thus subserve the public good This they have not done as the above quoted tariffs show The White Pass A Yukon route has paid not one dollar of tax. rents or other revenue to the government ex cspt their annua! license tax of I'.'" par mile of which 21 miles is payable to our government But on the other hand it is being paid for carrying the United States mails at the pres ent time, at the regular pack horse rates which were popular three year ago. It has taken a aub contra : from th- original contractor, who re ceives 4I,0M per annum for moving the malls from Skagway to Tanana. How much of thts sutn the origins: contractor be. left after paying the railroad company can be eat: mated pretty loaely by those wht have had dealings with that company GOOD DAIRY PROJECT FOR GRANDE RONDE MAY LOSE AN EYE.
