City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 19. 1915.
A WORD CONCERNING ELECTION.
Although the time for registering for
tin* coming election Is fast drawing to
a close the citizens of Nome .tre still
showing decided procrastination in
placing their nanu s on the rolls. The
election should be a matter of serious
consideration to every right thinking
person and one and all should use their
best endeavors to the end that the ad
ministration of the affairs of the city
inay ho to the host advantage Run
ning the city is an important business.
Tho Council has many and important
duties as distributors of ihe nmnevs
provided by the citizens of the com
munity and all who have a right to
exercise the election franchise should
wish to sec the funds distributed to
the best advantage. At the present,
time the financial resources of the city
are strained to the utmost in the main- ;
tenancy of thy various necessary depart -
merits of the local government and the
difficulties of providing funds are year
ly growing more severe. Wo are at
the limit of taxation allowed by law
and more than at the limit, for the
present taxes are far in excess of a just
and equitable valuation of the property
taxed The citizens have but little
complaint at thus for one and all re
cognize the difficulties of maintaining
the government and the essential de
partments thereof and arc willing as
good citizens to meet the added burden.
This is proven by the comparatively
small number of complaints which have
developed and such complaints as have
been made are mostly in esses where
the assessments have been beyond all
proper reason.
In thus regard at least the property
owners of Nome have shown an excel
lent quality of citizenship and a gen
uine public spirit. In return they de
mand a certain measure of good gov
ernment and an efficient distribution of
the funds Into such channels as will
bring the most benefits from the money
expended. This entails careful and
economical business management and
it us therefore the duty of all who have
at heart the present and future welfare
of the community, to see that capable
officers are selected, men who under
stand the methods of business and are
capable of efficiently handling the
funds placed in their care. Consider
ing that funds available for the city
use are decidedly limited and that there
is hardly an opportunity for retrench
ment without dispensing with some
vital necessity it is plainly up to the
citizens of the town to use a wise dis
cretion In casting their ballots for those
who can most capably fill the needs
and desires of the people.
Nothing so makes for bad govern
ment as a lack of interest in election
Issues and every person who has the
right to vote should do so. and study
well the proposition before casting his
or her ballot. Considering the impor
tant matters involved all capable of
voting should manifest their Interest
by registering and performing their
duty as good citizens to the end that
the city may have n good, clean and
properly conducted government during
the coming year.
ENFORCED NEUTRALITY
LSy sticking closely to its demand
that the rights of neutrals on the ocean
should not be Invaded by any belliger
ent, the United States can preserve its
attitude of strict neutrality in the pres
ent w-.tr. and it can do it in that way
alone. If the United States consents
to accept for a moment the position
lliat the exigencies of the present war
make it permissible for n belligerent
nation to make new rules of inter
national law. thuH to enable it to crip
ple an adversary's resources, that min
ute this country departs from the at
titude of strict neutrality and extend"
iis aid to one of the belligerents
The same would be true if It con
sented to yield to the pressure exerted
on the other side It is the contention
of the aggressive friends of Germany In
tliis country that the United States
should refuse to permit the sale ot
munitions of war lo the allies, because
1 tie purchase of arms and ammunition
ill this countrv gives them an advan
tage over Germany, which is excluded
from trading with this country on ac
count of England's command of thr
soa *
Yet to deny to its citizens the right
p. sell sims and ammunition to a bel
Heerent, a right which Internationa
, I vv recognizes, would he equivalent tr
extending aid to Germany, and thur
would be a direct violation of the splril
•f neutrality.
It is only by standing squarely on thr
doctrines of neutral rights and neutra
duties as laid down bv the writers on
. nter nat tonal law. that the t'niteil
States cun preserve that strict neutraJ
ilv Imposed upon it To waive the rules
of international law at the request of
one side or another, or to permit Its
ode to be interfered with In a manner
not justified bv international law
would be a direct violation of neiiiml
iiv We cannot In justice either aid
or hamper any belligerent without be
coming a party to the struggle —

new chief of police was appointed !
iThe new chief dressed hintself in a|
new blue uniform with shoulder-straps

the sweet voice continued:
"Oh. 1 beg your pardon. I (bought
