LEGISLATORS WASTING TIME.
A cursory review ol' the work
accomplished by our legislature
for the lli*sl forty days of the ses
sion, reveals a lack of harmony
not anticipated by the mass.
BiRs after bills have been intro
duced which have been sent from
committee to committee, from
house to house and there rejected
or amended or otherwise mutilat
ed in such a way as to almost
lead an outsider to believe that
carelessness, lack of interest or
knowledge of our needs, or even
gallery play was part of the work
involved.
Let us take the eight-hour lull
_as it is called, for instance.'
The lather of that bill lacked the
knowledge of our needs or looked
at the interest involved only from
one side of the question. Like
wise the Juvenile Court hill, the
Fishery hill and many others, all
of which shows a one-sided af
fair.
Uppermost in the minds of leg
islators in prescribing rules and
regulations for the government
of a people, should lie fairness,
and fairness equally divided. A
rule of action drawn up in haste
or with one-sided consideration
is bound to meet opposition fol
lowed by a waste of valuable time
which should not obtain. Lei them
forget that they are from Fair
banks, Nome, Seward or anywhere
else'. Let them forget their re
spective and chosen profession,
occupation nr trade. Let them
work in harmony without waste
of time.
In bringing this matter to the
attention of the legislators, we do
j=not. wish to raise a question of
motives for this lack ol harmony,

that, they were not elected to leg
islate for a part, but for the whole
