Although it is probable that
the majority of votes have by
tins time made up their minds
concerning the wisdom or folly
of the various issues of tomor
row’s election and have also de
cided for what and for whom their
ballot will be cast, we would,
never the less, impress upon them
the necessity for conning over
their selections most carefully in
the hope that some more advisa
ble choice might possibly be
made. In making the suggestion
the Nugget has no intention of
offering any solicitations for
either issues qr the candidates.
What we wish to do is to remind
the voters of Nome that they are
facing matters which call for very
decided attention and it is highly
desirable that they take careful
heed of every feature of the vari
ous issues presented before cast
ing their ballot, in order that the
best results will be obtained. For
the first time in a considerable
number of years Nome is facing
. JL JKB! L' -'If'3-HLL ^ . *gJO g.~». !!■■ ■ ■>,L ..yg
some large problems, every one
oi wmcn concain many possibili
ties.
1 he voters are asked to pass
jpon questions which, njcan a
great deal both to the inqividtial
mu tde community. Perhaps at
no time in tne history ot tne cit\
hi.s an election presented such
vital issues as will be laid before
tin people •tomorrow. In voting
upon tne proposals to enter into
a iaiger spneie of municipal acti
vities we itre deciding upon a
matter oi serious character and it
behooves us all to take good care
as to what we arc doing If, by
uur vctes, we endorse tne propos
al to bond the city we are taxing
a step toward civic progress and
improvement; it ;we uo not we
remain exactly where we have
been for tile past htteen years
Un the one hand we are voting to
go forward, on the otner we are
affirming a desire to stand still.
If we cnoose the first we are lay
ing ourselves under an extra bur
den of debt which must be paid;
if we choose the last we neither
gain nor lose. The question of
bonding the city is not the most
vital matter with which the vot
ers are confronted, however.
We can vote to establish a mu
nicipal pumping plant, coal yard,
etc., without having to do much
worrying as to what is desirable,
inat matter rescues ltesu into a
mere question of being willing to
pay lor the proposed innovations
and we can speedily make up our
minds about that. The big, the
vital matter is the selection of
those who will run the several af
fairs in the event of our deciding
to start them. The establishment
of any or all of the proposed im
provements means that the coun
cil will have a lot of work to do.
1 he city will be entering into one
or two new lines of business, all
of which will require good sense
and sound business judgment,
both in the building and running.
The city will be under the neces
sity of expending through its ad
ministrative officers a considera
ble sum of money and it is emin
ently desirable that this should be
done to tne best advantage, it
will not be a mere question of giv
ing orders and then paying the
bids. Care and discretion must
be exercised in the expenditure of
every cent. This means that clear
headed adn thoughtfuj persons
must be at the helm
This is the matter to which the
voters should give the largest
share of their attention- The
pumping plant or lighting plant
or coal yard are really secondary
matters. Anyone can start them
provided they ihave plenty of
money but it requires something
more than money to save unneces
sary costs in their construction
Also it takes brains to run them
so that they will achieve the sav
ing in civic expenses which forms
the basis of their promulgation.
If the bonding proposals are rati
fied it will not be because the peo
ple want a pumping or lighting
plant or coal vara merely because
tuey want to own such affairs, it
will be because they hope to
achieve a reasonable reduction in
the costs of running the munici
pality through their installation,
if ill considered expeditures and
careless management are going to
result in no material saving we"
most decidedly do not care to go
into debt for any or all of them.
If they are not going to be a bene
fit we don’t want them. The
problem then is to place in office
men capable of handling
such matters to the best advan
tage. It is not a job for muddle
heads or irresponsibles. Let the
voters take heed to this matter
before they finally make up their
minds as to what they are going
to do, when they enter the polling
booth.

There’s one rubber
boot that has
cr “made good” in |
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
1 “HIPRESS”)
5 White Boot j
W “With the Red-Line j
’round the Top”
Y°u know that when a Boot
» comes in and simply sweeps the country
■//i1!|. IgP"***^ like “HIPRESS” has done, it's GOT to
> be SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
I is the supreme test for Boot Quality,
\ White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Boot* actually wear longer than iron or steel!
L/A You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
A |y ani^ leather soles.
'i'•/ 1 The reason for this unusual service Ls that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
I an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
J are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
’Ty’fj welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE I
J There’s nothing to come apart —they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
YVj They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
rJtff promise that once you start wearing W’hite ‘‘jHIPRESS” you’ll never be
j/Y satisfied with anything else.
^ And remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—it has
a Red-Line ’round the Top. •
DEAIXRS: If not stocked oa “HiPRESS" write at once for samples and prices*
I This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.
