We would like to have the papers
that are filling their columns with
(Blades against the eight dollar poll
tax law, tell us where they got
their information that such a hill
was passed by congress. A hill of
this nature was introduced in Feb
ruary hv Burnham, hut no one in
this section has re eived a copy of
the bill, nor is it mentioned in the
index of the Congressional Record
after that date.
Tiie Nelson bill appropriating 65
per cent, of licenses for construc
tion of roads, and providing tor an
army board of road commissiners
is the wagon road hill that passed,
and our esteemed contemporary
who publishes “news that is news,”
will find that his scare-head article
an $8 poll tax for roads was with
out foundation in fact.
For the information of the Nkws
we will state that local parties
have been trying to get Col. Aber
crombie appointed on the l>ourd
•f road commissioners provided for
by the Nelson bill, but their action
was too late, as a communication
from the department at Washing
ton states that the appointment
bad already hoen made.
This- fact together with the state
ments-of reputalde papers in the
Mates should convince anyone that
tb 'dson bill is the one that pass
eo, c-en though official notice has
not been received, and that the
editor of the sheet that publishes
“news” must have drawn heavily
on his imagination to make it ap
pear otherwise.
• •
What grounds have the people
of this section for howling at the
acts of congress during the lust ses
sion? Have we not been pretty
well treated? The survey for our
wagon road is now under way, and
there is every probability that after
the survey is completed money will j
be appropriated to build the road.
We will have a cable from Seattle
landing here this fall. We get 65
per cent of licenses collected out
side of incorporated towns for con
struction of roads in the district.
Larger appropriations have been
made for geological surveys of the
eoal, oil and quarts districts along i
this coast. More lighthouses are:
being built. More money is being
spent on military posts and in our
town an $6000 federal building is
in course of construction. It is
hard to find any excuse for the
wails going up from the territorio
maniacs, unless it is that they are
suffering from mental prostitution.
. * •
We can hardly agree with the1
Alaska papers that consider the
new municipal law such a .poor
measure. It is true that the chang- j
tag of the school funds- to the hands
U the council is not a desirable
more, but this is offset by the mun
icipality being given control of the
gambling and bawdy houses and ]
other local affairs of which it should
have the handling. As long as the
council is composed of level headed,
conservative men, such as the pres
ent incumbents are here, there
need he no fear of their crippling
the schools in any way. A major
ity of the Valdes council have ex
pressed themselves- as being in fav
or of upholding the present high
standing of the local school, even
though the expenditures of the
•ity have to be cut even lower than
they are now to accomplish it.
*
For luma* latency the territorio
I
maniacs take the lain. The News
says the council could not la-trust
ed with the handling of school funds
and still it advocates territorial
government, under which a legisla
tive body composed of the snme tim
ber as the councils arc made up of,
would have the handling of all the
funds of the territory. If the
schools need a safeguard against
I the councilmcn elected by the peo
j pie, how much more do the muni
cipalities need guarding against a
legislature composed of the same
I class of men. If you think you
' stand a show of holding nn office
| under territorial government, and
I feel that you must advocate it, go
ahead and tide your hobby to
death, but do be consistent. Don’t
| let the fact that you are a member
of the school hoard cause you to
make statements inconsistent with
the principles of your main hobby.
In our last issue an error was
made regarding the date of muni
cipal elections under the new law.
It should be the first Tuesday in
April instead of the third Tuesday
in July. We are generally right,
Bert, but don’t take it for granted
that we always are, or you may
step in a trap again.
A conn ml rum—The commission
er appointed to investigate the
charges against Wickershara is
from Pennsylvania. Wilkesharre
is in that state. Valdez had a few
visitors last winter on legal busi
ness from Wikesbarre. Is it a co
incidence or otherwise?
