cr CRASS MlSKEPRESEirriON
Some of the tory papers, in trving to
maka it to appear that the number of
votes cast at the recent Alaskan election
justify their misrepresentations as to
the population of Alaska, are forced
into the silly lie that it is customary, in
estimating the population, to allow
three people to every rote cast.
There i? probably not a school boy or
jftrl of 15 years in Juneau who does not
know that five is the multiple applied
to the vote to arrive at the population.
And that this is loo low except at a
presidential election when the vote is
at its fullest? when national, state and
county committees, and candidates and
the friends of the candidates rake the
country from Maine to California as
with fine-tooth comb for votes.
For instance, in 1900 the total num
ber votes cast for the various candidates
for president and vice-president of the
United States was 13,953,926. These
figures include the female votes in four
states. In June preeeedlng the elec
tion the population of the statea which
voted was 74,9", 162? 5,00,000 more than
the five to one.
It might be claimed that it is not fair
to apply the same rule to a western
community that is applied to the nation
at large. As a matter of fact, however,
the figures show that it does apply. The
western communities are growing no
fast that there is always a large element
of the poDulation which has not been
in the country long enough to vote.
For instance, let us take the vote of
the five Pacific Coast states and terii
tories in which women have not the
franchise The figures of 1900 are used
The voting wssseveral months after the
census was taken.
States Vote Population
W ashington 107,524. 518,103.
Oregon 34,010. 413,353.
California 303,793. 1,485,053.
Nevada 10,196. 42,355,
Arizona 19,667. 122,931.
But we do not have to go so far as
that to discover that the "rule," as
stated by the tory paper, does not apply
to Alaska.
For instance, multiply the number or
votes cast at Juneau by ;tbree, and we
bare a population of 1100: Juneau
claims 2,500. Do the same at Douglas
and >ou would have 500: Douglas' cen
sus of IS months ago showed a popula
tion of 1700. Treadwell would have
less than 3(h): there are about four
times that number working for one
company in that town. ;Wrangell cast
'M roles: a population of 800 is claimed.
Ketctikan cast less than 200 votes: a
liquor license fee based on a population
exceeding 1,000 is charged. Haines cast
70 Totes: a population of 300 is conceded
the town? and so on.
Take our own town of Skagway
also Our vote was 258. The
census taken last spring showed that
the town had a population of 11000.
In line with this it might be stated
that nearly all the papers of the dis
trict are complaining of the light vote
cast. So far as reported, there is but
town where the vote was greater than
it was at the last spring election? and
there the increase was but slight.
As a matter of fact the vote of Alas
ka proves beyond question that the
population of the district is between
50,000 and 75,000.
Notwithstanding that hundreds of
residents of Fairbanks have returned
home this spring after spending the
winter in various sections of the coun
try, the vote of that town at the recent
delegate election was only slightly in
excess of the vote at the time of the
municipal election last spring the sea
son of the year when the population is
at its lowest ebb. The increase was
not so great as it should be in a town
that is growing as fast as is Fairbanks.
So much for the charge of illegal votiDg
at the Tanana metropolis!
OldJacit Frost is leaving his "sear
and yellow" tracks upon the deciduous
growth that covers the mountainsides
in the vicinity of Skagway "just to re
mind us that ;the "melancholy days"
have come.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, long
| the republican organ of the state of
Washington, will refuse to support
a portion of the republican legislative
ticket. The bolt is likely to be un
availing as the business interests of
Seattle desire to keep Seuator Piles in
office and to do that the idea is abroad
that King county should retain a good
standing in giving republican minori
ties. ,
Both the democratic and repu lican
conventions of Arizona have declared
in opposition to joint statehood with
New Mexico The platform declares
that they prefer to remain with s
territorial form of government forever
than to be yoked to New Mexico. The
democrats renominated Mark Smith
for delegate to congress for the 10th
time. In New Mexico the republicans
have declared for joint statahood.
Whether or not municipal ownership
of public utilities is right in principle
and wise in practice, it wouM seen that
a voung and growing city like Seattle
has done well to let the practicability
of it be tested by older towns which
have not so many problems to solve
before adopting it. Seattle is young |
and has her hands full of other things.
Every day or so we read of someone
in Seattle who is about to lose his
saloon license becaus: young girls have
been found in his place of business, in
toxicated or partly so. Wouldn't it
speak more for the clenliness of the
city if we should read once in a while
that So and So HAS lost his saloon
license?
