CITY NEEDS REPRESENTATION
Citizens do not let Valdez fail be
hind. Indifference is the first link in
the chain of failure. The coming pri
maries are important. Every citizen
entitled to vote, which Includes both
men and women, should cast their
ballot at the coming primary election
tomorrow. The needs of our town and
surrounding community should be
kept in the forefront in the minds of
the next legislature, as will he the
needs and wants of other towns thru
their local representatives.
Should Valdez, fail in securing rep
resentation on either the Republican
or Democratic ticket other towns
which secure such representation
stand a better chance of winning in
the finals or November general elec
tion. Rapidly changing conditions
following the close of the war towards
business, governmental affairs and
economics will necessitate a watchful
policy on the part of each community
to seize opportunities for its growth,
development and prestige. Valdez has
many latent resources lying latent for
development. All citizens should vote
at the coming primaries and endorse
their local candidates.
FOR SALE—Ford touring car in

I'OMMINirATlnX
Kditor Prospector: In reply toj
“Communicated.” as a taxpayer, I
would like to add a few lines "on the
question of abolishing the office of
Marshal."
As to Mr. Scott having been a good
officer, we do not question his ability
nor his personality. The question is:
lie we need a city marshal? As to who
it may be, does not answer the ques
| tion.
As to the removal of and abolish
ing the office, not having any ten
dency to reducing the taxes; it would
J certainly add money to the city treas
ury, and dollars count there as much
as elsewhere.
If the city is to consider spending
its money in keeping "a worthy man"
within its midst, the city treasury
would not have sufficient funds to go
round, for there are many "worthy”
men we feel should be kept in our
midst. Also "suppressing any ten
dency toward crime” is any "worthy”
man’s "long suit.” He need not wear
an officer’s star to aid in doing so in
his own community.
"If times get as hard as we have
reason to suppose they will be, "a
wave of crime" will not spread over
the territory, for "crooks" do not
hang around a town or territory that
is at low financial ebb. It is where af
fluence is that crime is rampant.
I have lived in other towns in their
zenith of prosperity, and stayed to
the "last roll of the drum," and found
that -it’s a safe bet to take- the
town was going on its uppers, as soon
as the questionable class, crooks anil
those "without visable means of sup
port" left it to its own resources.
To my mind, we need no petition
gotten up to settle the question. Look
about you. gentle citizen, and see if
you can picture the “man with the
black mask" among us, or whether
there would be keen enough induce
ment to have him come Into our
peaceful, financially embarrassed,
“Hooverized” little city.
