NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 24. 1915.
AN ECONOMICAL SUGGESTION
In as much as the atmosphere in this
vicinity is burdened with suggestions
as to the most economical method of
running the city, an added suggestion
more or less can increase the volume
already offered very little, so, at the
risk of drawing the fire of those num
berless wiseacres who profess to be
lieve that voluntary suggestions in
this respect are worthy of little regard
save as an excuse for sarcasm, we will
submit one more, to which our atten
tion has lately been directed and which
contains within its subtance much of
the desirable economy, at present being
discussed in all its tenses.
Now that we are blessed with gen
eral suffrage there seems to be no par
ticular reason why the annual city and
school elections, which arc at present
held at widely seperated intervals,
should not be combined and held at one
and the same time. By combining the
two, tho saving In the matter of salaries
for election officers, printing, advertis
ing and other entailed costs, which rep
resent no inconsiderable figure, is
clearly obvious and in addition the
■ conbination will have the added effect
of allowing the voter to discharge his
elective duties without the necessity
of having to make two appearances at
the polls.< Under present conditions
few of tho miners or those whose oc
cupations are not confined to the cor
porate limits care to exercise their
privilege in the matter of school elec
tion, largely for the reason that to ap
pear at the polls means an extra effort
and in many cases loss of valuable
time. To the average working miner]
regardless of his interest in the matter,
it is usually out of the question to
journey several miles to town for the
sole purpose of voting and as a con
sequence interest is rendered negative
with the ultimate result that he gives
the matter no attention whatever.
A considerable number of these men
are married and the fathers of familes
and under more propitious circum
stances would gladly exercise their
privilege in this regard. It appears
from every aspect that a change in the
date of the school election is advisable
and, as the matter is one in which tho
council apparently has complete juris
diction it is hoped that the dual benefit
suggested will seem worthy- of their
attention.
The matter of effecting tho change
requires only a slight modification of
the present law and while it may be of
no very vital importance, the benefits
to be obtained seem at least worthy of
the effort required

SEWARD (HU GOING
TO IMITATE FROG
Jack Rousseau is a former Seward
man who offers himself on the altar of
j science by declaring thnt he will per
mit himself io lie enclosed in ice to see
if he can come out Aye again like a
frog, according to the Seattle I’ost
Intelligencer of late isstu Mr Rous
seau. who made the offer to a reporter
of that paper, was at a Seattle hotel
on the way to Ketchikan where lie in
tends to go naked into Hie wilderness
to find how long a man can live in
cold weather without protection. “If a
frog can he frozen into a lump of ice."
said Mr Rousseau “and come out alive,
what’s tlie matter with a man doing
it." The IV I. says a lot more about
Mr. Rousseau but enough is as good as
a feast.
