A PROBLEM FOR THE VOTER
At xu, tlm< since those rrwmorahie
when !h<- city was struggling un
der n almost hopeless burden of debt
ha* there been h more Imperative ne
' easily for the exert Lae of careful con
Kldt-ration In the matter of selecting
the men who will preside in the Com
mon Council, than is facing me voters
of Nome today Those days of riotous
prodigality which ne< easitated , iliing
into being the famous "Retrenchment
Council" have long since passed away,
tflunk Heaven and for the past several
years the city lias been ii lie whole,
fairly well managed
While there have been several tight
Pinches, times when there was no little
difficulty In shaping the expenditures to
fit the limited income we have gener
ally managed to squeeze through with
a balance on the < red it side of the
) edger
This year howevei their is a mighty
prospect that things may he different.
There are many indications that Nome
is rapidly approaching a crisis in her
affairs and. no one knows wliat the de
efopmenta of the coming month will
be The present income of the city
barely suffice* ro meet the demands
even under careful management and a
further curtailment of revenue will
bring about conditions which can bo
met only by the most careful manage-1
rnent and the exorcise of rigid economy1.
It is not suggested that this prospect
is assured but it ts clearly within *he
realm of possibilities and being n pos
sibility it lx fraught with the potenti
alities suggested. It lx therefore* the
plain duty of every citizen to provide as
fur ns possible for the eventualities
that the coming days may bring forth
by considering well the qualifications
of every prospective candidate for the
councllmanlo body before casting a bal
lot If a condition should arise whereby
the slender Income of the city would
be insufficient to meet the demands it
i* clear that level heads and clear minds
alone can control the situation.
Huslness men must be at the helm
of city affairs; men who arc not given
to haphazard methods and guess work;
to putting their faith in high Heaven
and trusting in the beneficence, of a
kindly Providence to guide them safely
through the financial shoal* The prob
lem of carrying on the city govern
ment will be one for thought and rea*
son, for clear insight and weighty
lodgement
It Is all very well to state that an
increased taxation will solve the flnan
<ial problems but such statements are
but evasions of the Issue It Is true
that tax** can be tnq-eaaed but be It
-ememt-ered there i* a limit to be
reached and, be it a!so remembered,
that rlgh' a* the present hour we are
nearly r-t that limit The citizens of
Some are already taxed far in exce** of
the actual valuation f their property
?ni are bearing it with a most com
mendable », uuitmit' There i* t -n:*
it. their patience h' wever ar.d it i«
hardly within reason to expect them to
welcome further impositions of that
nature with an- thing approaching gead
'beer True if necessity requires taxes
must be raised and the jeople must
stand for it up to a certain point but
in the hands of a refu! administration
in added burden of taxation can be so
equalized ’hat few will rebel Also as
ha* been frequently pointed out. the
expenditures of the city can be reduced
to a certain degree although the ulti
mate possibilities in this regard will
help but little in solving the problem
of running the cite on a greatly reduced
income Iner*si*e the taxes as far as
the people and the law win allow and
r.duge the expense* to the llm.t where
at; auperfluetie* are dispensed with and
ihere, will in all probablllv still he a
•ietlcency between the minimum of u
r- ndHur » and the maximum of Income
that will require the most careful busi
ness maiiagexner.t to bridge without
dispensing with some vital ns es*it> or
working still farther burdens in ihe
-1,ape of excessive taxation*
