In Order To Catch Votes
The Taxpayers' Platform
Makes Pledges Which
Cannot Be .Carried Out.
"The Town council being recoRniw-d by the Land department of the
Government as the representative body of the Town and from whom criti
cisms and recommendations regarding the administration of the trust would
have any consideration from said department. We pledge ourselves to
thoroughly investigate the conduct of the trustee from time to time and
it after such investigation we find just cause for complaint in the trus
tee's management of affairs and if he is not administering the trust with
economy and a watchfulness of the rights and interest of the lot owners
within the townsite, then we farther pledge ourselves to take steps for
his removal and the appointment of one who will conduct the affairs of
the trust with proper regard for the rights of all those interested."
Thus, in no uncertain language, the CITIZENS' party pledges itself to
THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE the manner In which the town trustee
ship is being conducted. Every candidate on the CITIZENS' ticket has
pledged his written word to do this
Men like Howard Ashley, Herb Taylor, Johnny GrashaJ, W. C. Hlanchard.
E. .1. Shaw, It. E. Kirmse, and II. C. Bowman are men of their word and
will protect the interests of the property owners of Skagway.
Mr Houghton has already offered to modify his estimates at the sugges
tion of Hie Town council and these gentlemen will see that it is done. j
No one is going to lie robbed ??f a single dollar. Even if every man* of
the CITIZENS' ticket is a perjurer, the United States government has paid
Inspectors whose duty it is to see t lint no Town trustee commits any ir- '
r. gularities.
On the other hand the TAXPAYERS' platform promises the voters that
it will demand the resignation of Houghton and recconimend that his sue- I
eessor be appointed by the vote of the people of Skagway.
Shea. Tanner & Co. knew when they formed this plank that they w< re
promising what they cannot do.
The Town trustee was appointed by the Land department and he will not |
be removed unless proof of his incompetence or dishonesty is brought be
fore the department. No amount of vociferous agitation on the part of
Shea. Tanner & Co. wijl accomplish tl*'s. The Town council is the only 1
tody to act and why didn't Christopl or Columbus Shea take some action*
when Houghton demanded an investigation from the council?
Kartherinore there is absolutely no provision in the Land office which j
v ould permit a Town trustee to be selected by a vote of the people. It
is hardly likely that the United States government will change its methods
ot doing business to suit the political purposes of Shea, Tanner & Co. ;
The CITIZENS' party pledges to investigate the matter and protect !
the property holders.
The TAXPAYERS' party is pledged to do something which its ring
leaders know is impossible.
Which party is it safest to trust the investigation to?
Think it over.
