It has been provan beyond a doubt that the one and
only Dan Driscoll is not al ways for the reduction cf wa
ges. Dan believes that at any rate hi the case of murder
the wage is-death and so east his ineffectual vote against
the bill prohkdthig the death penalty in Alaska which now
a • '.hs the signature of the Governor. We have always
m untamed chat Dan should have lived in the 17th century
with which period his mind matches. Dan must have felt
like a <i:-h out of water when he voted against the reduc
. iion of any kind of wage, especially as of the Fourth Divi
sion delegation, his lone companion was his fellow troglo
dyte, Goldins. It is unfortunate that Dan should have
spoilt tiie hitherto unblemished record he h*is made in the
matter of ,:!m stand he has always1 taker regard in a vaces.
While it is inevitable that many persons believe that
-hey could manage the retrenchment of the expense of
running the city better than is the newly elected Council
doing, yet fhs fact remains that they have reduce d expen
se.. by a considerable amount, While it would seem to the
casual observer at the Council meeting that everything
was cut and dried and that the six members of the council
who voted together were dominated by some other influ
ence than their own be !y, we have good reason to beleive
otherwise. There are good reasons for beleiving that the
•"ouneil held sever?... informal meetings at which that
s.w were by no means a unit,notably in Cm case of Patrol
man Blaylock, who besides being well thought of by the
community at large, was evidently considered a good offi
cer by at least three councihnen, and the fact of six voting
together proves nothing than that they had discussed
matters among themselves which after all, is what they
were elected to do. We understand on good authority that
'before the summer is over there wv! be more retrench
ment. The writer of this article did not vote for any of
these men, but we are bound to admit that they are starr
ing their official lives at any rate partially along the lines
which have been advocated by many people in Fairbanks
for many moons.

Paul, the plum who put the earliest organized proleta
rian movement go the blink, said “much learning' maketh
a man mad.” That would account for the opposition to
the education bill of “century and a half ago” Driscoll
ut how shall we account for the opposition of Celling to
the bill? Collins’ wife is school teacher at Fox and should
the uniform education bill pass she would lose he" job.

From Collins’ perverted point of
view his opposition seems to him
all right. If his wife will work to
help him make a living, he must
do his part and hold the job for
her. What do you think of it,you
