GOOD BYE 1934 — HAIL 1935!
Another year has rolled around with all its hopes, its
discouragements and its experiences of life. .. .We are again
looking into the beginning of a new year tomorrow. ..What
will it contain for you, and you and ourselves? ... The past
year has been filled with many emotions, both enlightened
and somber, but with the approach of each newr year Wfe al
ways look into the future with an eager look, hoping that
this new one will bring us even greater opportunities and
knowledge than the one just past.
Why not every citizen of Nome look toward the New
Year, with a prideful and ambitious gaze? We suffered a
severe catastrophe in September and a goodly portion of
the ..business ..section has been ..rebuilt during the ;winter
months.We have everything before us to go ahead and
make Nome a better and cleaner city than ever before. ..The
mistakes of the past have taught many a lesson which, in
their plans of rebuilding, it is hoped will be remembered
and the dangers avoided.
Many merchants have already signified their intentions
of rebuilding in the spring and next summer. ... Business
conditions are bright and the economic situation will beyond
a doubt be on a higher plane than it has for many years.
If that is not one good indication that the New Year will
hold many good promises of prosperity, then the person who
denies it, is not of a discerning character.
In wishing your neighbors and freinds a Happy and
Prosperous New Year, remember to say “And For a Bigger
and Better Nome.”
Here’s to A Happy and Prosperous New Year and For a
Bigger and Better Nome, to everyone.

DELEGATE SHOULD RECEIVE TERRITORIAL AID
(Ketchikan Chronicle)
When the territorial legislature convenes on January
14, 1935, it will find probably that the 60-day session is all
too short to accomplish the vast amount of business which
will be presented for consideration.
Due to repeal of the prohibition laws, the enactment of
social legislation to deal with the sale and distribution of
liquor is going to demand a considerable part of the session’s
early deliberations. There will, no doubt, be a great num
ber of bills presented designed to meet changing economic
conditions and to conform to the federal government’s act
ivities throughout Alaska.
However, one of the first matters which is presented to
the legislature should be the consideration of financial ass
istance from the Territory to the Alaskan delegate to Con
gress.
It has been stated authoritatively that during his first
term in Congress, Mr. Dimond spent upwards of $4000 of his
own money for various activities which directly concern the
welfare of the territory.
His office has been made a clearing house for Alaskan
publicity and information. He has taken it upon himself
to present not only matters of vital importance to Alaska for

congressional consideration, but has assumed also the task of
answering and investigating every dash of whimsy which
Alaskans seem at times to be most capable of shouldering
upon their congressional representative.
Such activities obviously require additional expendi-.
ture. Office help and office supplies not authorized by the
I federal government must be met. In the past this expendi
ture has been assumed by the delegate himself.
It seems only reasonable that the extra mental and phy
sical effort expended by the delegate is proof enough of his
earnestness without the additional burden of offering a fair
proportion of his salary to the cause.
Mr. Dimond very seldom finds usage for the perpend
icular pronoun. He has not made any complaint about the
necessity for using private funds for territorial benefit. He
will not ask the legislature for additional funds for his office.
But certainly if members of the legislature will make a
shbrt inquiry it will be found that an appropriation to the
delegate will be a sound investment for the Territory and
will release it from the shroud of receiving services from its
delegate for which it will not make ample emolument.
Yes, somewhere in this wide, wide world there are per
fect husbands and perfect wives. But, alas, they are never
married to each other.

Maybe the next generation will not be so busy
making money that parents forget to associate with their
growing children.
Wonder what would have happened if the pioneers of
this country had waited for a Federal loan before they built
their log cabins.—(Exchange.) _ ■ I

Addressed to The Nome Nugget
Resolution
Be is resolved by the Industrial
Workers of Alaska of Nome, Alaska:
That whereas: there being no ac
cepted universal hours of daily toil
in the Territory of Alaska and that
in many industries the length ol
daily labor is set by the employer
and limited only by human endur
ance and the hours are commonly
from ten to twelve or more
And whereas: a shorter work day
would be in keeping with the pres
ent trend of economic thought and
would give employment to more
men and women, it would also give
more time for recreation and would
be conducive to general welfare.
Now therefore: be it resolved that
the Industrial Workers of Alaska pe
tition their duly elected representa
tives to the Alaska Legislature to
work for a speedy enactment of a
law limiting the daily hours of toil
to eight hours per day and forty
eight hours per week thruout the
Territory fo Alaska.
And be is further resolved that

gation from each .Judicial District
of Alaska, a copy to Delegate Anth
ony J. Dimond, a copy to the Gov
ernor of Alaska, a copy to the press
