WHAT DO WE WANT.
Representative-elect Thomas C. Price, of the Alaska legis
lative assembly, in an interview with The Times, says he has
in contemplation the calling of a public meeting, for the pur
pose of ascertaining the wishes of his constituents with respect
to legislation which he may introduce when the legislature
meets in March. He informs The Times that he will be only
too glad to receive suggestions along this line. Representative
Price is already devoting some attention to the matter of in
troducing an appropriation bill for the expenditure of territor
tial funds that have accumulated, amounting in all to some
$400,000. He is inclined to think that these funds may best be
employed in the building of additional roads and trails and for
school purposes. The amount available, if we- have been cor
rectly informed, would give each division $100,000 to expend
in this direction, and no just complaint could arise out of such
an equitable distribution.
In the persons of Representatives Price and Cannon the
Cook inlet country has two men who will carry much weight in
the legislature. Both are pioneers of Alaska, devoted to the in
terests of the whole territory, and are reputable, conscientious,
intelligent men. We have no reason to blush for electing such
sturdy characters, chosen from the substantial element in the
community.
WAR NEWS.
There has been a dearth of war news for the past week or
ten days, due, probably, to weather conditions on the respective
fronts. Reports .today indicate that the weather lias settled
into cold, clear conditions, permitting a renewal of hostilities.
The dispatches inform us that the allied nations are preparing
for monster offensive movements, surpassing anything in past
history, to be inaugurated in the near future. In fact, in two
important sectors the offensive lias begun. Newspaper readers
are prone to criticise a newspaper for failure to supply this
important war news, hut legitimate newspapers, that do not
“fake” war reports, must depend on the reports that they re
receive from the regular channels. They cannot report war
news that does not occur. They cannot stultify themselves by
making up false and wholly inaccurate reports, figments of
the imagination, just to satisfy the inordinate craving for war
news. The Times’ war news is chiefly based upon the official
reports of the respective belligerent nations and may be relied
upon as trustworthy. In publishing this war news, it is not
“colored” or “doctored” in the least degree. We hold that
patrons of this paper are entitled to know the facts, and that
is what we seek to give them. If we have any opinion to ex
press in favor of either side in this great world war, our edi
torial columns are available for the purpose. The news col
umns of a newspaper are supposed to be devoted to giving ac
curate information about current events, and those newspaper
publishers that employ them otherwise, in order to espouse a
given cause, violate one of the elementals of journalism.
MERELY A SUGGESTION.
There is some agitation around the town with respect to
the matter of taking up with Secretary of the Interior Lane a
new departure with reference to the management of townsites
now under the control of the federal government as represented
by the interior department. This matter, which is under dis
cussion about this town, and which was brought out by a prom
inent local business man and property owner, comprehends the
election of a common council by the electors of the community,
who will act as an advisory committee with the townsite man
agement with respect to all local improvements and local poli
cies. Of course, this council would have no power, other than
to act in an advisory capacity with the local townsite author
ities in matters pertaining to tlu* improvement of the town. So
far as The Times has been able to ascertain public sentiment,
property owners in Anchorage do not object to assessments tor
necessary purposes, improvements and otherwise, but they feel
that the assessments can be substantially reduced in the future.
So far as The Times is concerned, it wishes to act in con
cert and in harmony with the townsite authorities. The best
results can he achieved by a policy of united effort, the whole
town working in complete accord with the local authorities.
The Times has knowledge of certain tilings that the townsite
authorities are undertaking that mean a great deal to this com
munity. To mention one of them, we may state that a bill will
be introduced at the present session of the congress which pro
vides that at least one-half of the moneys derived from the sale
of lots in Anchorage shall be devoted to the improvement of the
town. The passage of this bill would materially tend to lessen
future assessments.

All hail to our Queen in her Carnival reign,
Her Kingdom, and Court, her Inlet domain.
All hail to her beauty, her honor, her health,
To Alaska her home, its mountains of wealth.

The love light of friendship, of beauty and grace,
The heart that is loyal, and pure as the snow,
Comes forth to welcome The Old Sourdough.
