AN OPEN LETTER.
Skagway, Alaska. April 1st, 1912.
Editor Daily Alaskan: ?
In your Issue of March 30th, you
print the Citizen's party platform.
No* if this had appeared on ''?his,
the first of April, I should have
considered It an April Pool message.
In the platform, they do not view it
as wisdom or economy to have $8,
500.00 Idle in the treasury. The peo
j pie of Skagwav know they will
never lie confronted with any such
proposition if they get into power,
after they have used what the Tax
Payor's have left.
The Tax Payers party last year
reduced the Tax on Real Estate ten
per cent, besides doing four times
the Improvements on streets that
had been done by the Citizen's Coun
cil when in power last, they leaving
the Town in debt several thousand
dollars. The Platform believes In
betttr Police protection. We have
now double the force we had In
1898, with 5000 people in our Town.
The Platfor-.n says they expert to
entertain r.iany Tourists and thoy
want to make a favorable impression
on them. 1 wish to state that if the
Citlnems party get Into power they
possibly "ntemd to buy dress suits
for the Council, a Drum Major uni
form for the Marshal and hire Swiss
prides to conduct the Tourists to
Danville. If the Tax Payers can
didates are elected they will look
to the interest of the People of Skas
way, and let the Tourist asrents and
official guides attend to the wants of
the Tourist. I believe the Peop'e
know when they are well served, and
I l>elieve they all see in the attitude
of the Citizen's Candidates. m re
card to cheaper Coal for the People,
by filing affidavits in opposition to
l the Town in the Injunction Stilt.
; that they are under good police pro
jection furnished by the On! Mon
opoly.
Tomorrow will tell . whet her the
People of Skagway are more interest
ed In the effect produced on the
tourists or in the upholding and
prosperity of the Town.

Ska$way, April 1, 1912.
To SkAgwa** fc^iectorfc ?
It was expected and hoped by the
Citizens Party that inasmuch as
there is no material Issue before the
people this year the municipal caw
raljcu would be permitted to pursue
its way without doing more than
simply placing the candidates before
the electors on their record and
merit*, and that nothing would trans
pire which would render It nocer-wsary
for the Citizens Party to rush into
print. However, ait the public meet
ing held by tho Taxpayers Party on
Saturday night, so many nrls-state
ments of facts were made that, if
they were allowed to pass unnoticed,
the voter who is not awaro of the
real farts wouhl naturally conclude
that tile assertions must bo true. It
so happens that the Taxpayers Party
have a "corner" on the local orator
ical talent, and this is all that pre
vents n public meeting and debate
for the purpose of refutation. The
orators orated for two hours, and It
would take the entire Issue of the
Daily Alaskan to go fuliy into the
matters discussed. It is unfortunate
hideed that to refute many of the
statements made by the speakers is
impossible with'n the scope of a
communication which must necessar
ily be limited. Suffice it to say that
the finit speaker promised that no
pereorali'es would be indulged In,
and that later on this assurance was
completely disregarded ; that abuse,
cheap witticisms, and vaim-glorylng
assertions were largely in evidence;
that old, dead municipal issues were
resurrected which not only have no
bearing on the present situation bill
were presented in words utterly
foreign to the truth; tha<. disgraceful
profanity was freely indulged in de
spite the presence of ladies; and,
finally, that great stress was laid
upon statements to the effect that
the members of the Citizens Ticket
would like very much "to get their
hands on" the present surplus in
the town treasury ? a direct slur on
honorable, clean men who have no
farther interest in endeavoring to get
the support of the people than to
give during the coming year, if
elected, a competent. Inrsinew'tkf ad
ministration of public affairs.

for street Improvements. Kvery
? man who was present at the meet
i>K *IH clearly recall the slide which
was thrown upon the screen ghJ ng
?hat purported to be the amount of
money expended upon 81 Wgway's
J^ uJ ' ^ Th? ?*<??**

although the Ci tfzen*

provement o' .streets that the amount,
expended by the Citizens Party
n were hi control was a
^ 1>altry sum ">mparH with the
Whkh ',avc ^ expeaded
b> the Taxpayers during the past
two years. Here are the figures as
stated to the voters at the meeting

mlKbt be mentioned that the Citi
zens Party took control of the Coun
f 1 in 1909 with a deficit of $"9"'> 77
handed over to them by the pdor
Taxpayers Party nnd it was the an
nounced policy to spend as little
n*>ney rs possible <n order to cut
down the heavy deficit-for this rea
son ail work on streets was cut

and the balance of *?17.97 for labor
amlmateria] on streets. Instead of
5l33o lu we find that the amount
^rtnks to $417.97. a slight dis
crepancy of $917.60. Then we go
on to the figure of $1402.86 for the
year 191M2. Without having time
to check the figures for the entire
your It is found that In the month of
Sept 1911, the street lighting blH of
$87.50 is In, hided in street improve

that other bills of this nature are in
cluded in the foregoing fibres. We

j he figures handed out at the Satnr
day meeting, and the City Olerk must
certainly admit the figures a., his
own books show them plainly.

that the cash balance of the city
was approximately $8, .'>00. Strange
to say within four days this amount
suddenly shrank to approximately $7,- i

In conclusion we ask the thoughtful
