-?oct Ion '. of Ordiuance .No. 105
of Skagway, reads In part:
"No pel sou shall bo eligible as
councilman, or bo qualified to act
as such, who is not a duly regis
tered and qualllied elector of
&ttd town."
In the case of Councilman Tan
ner who was elected yesterday, wo
are Informed that his scat will be
contested under the provision of the
ordinance Just quoted. U Is true
that Mr. Tanner was uot register
ed. and w-s not a qualified voter
at this election. Whether his pre
vious reglstraMona and previous
qualifications are to apply or uot.
will have to be settled by the courts,
r.ccordlng to a statement made to
l.*lo Dally Alaskan this morning.
We do r.ot think that the city
hydrants s.iould be used as ait ad
vertising iridium for outside mer
chants to announce their bargains
on. Several of tho Skagway hy
drants serv*: as an advertising med
ium calling attention to the fact
that suplles may be purchased at
Discovery, and convoying the ln
fe?cnce that it Ir not necessary to
buy In Skagway when going Into
the new {.old fields. Surely the
city should not be a party to pro
lnc'lng the enterprises of rival
towns.
Senator Sutherland has Introduc
ed the following bill:
An Act to l'unlsh tho Making of
False Certificates by Notaries i'ub
llc atjd other Officers Authorized
to Adinluister Oaths in tho Terri
tory of Alaska.
UK IT LNACTED by tho Logls
' l.iture of the Territory of Alaska
thai any notary public, or other
of.'iier authorized to administer an
o;:tb in tho Territory of Alaska, who
cortlfles that any person has appear
ed beforo him and sworn to any
tutement of facts, of any nature
or character, when in fact such
person did not appear before him
}tud such person did not swear to
the facts contained in such state
ment befo. e such notary public, or
officer; or any notary public, or
other officer authorized to admlnls
i ter an oata In th<? Territory of Al
aska. who shall make a certificate
false in any respect, shall be
d ?.?tiled guilty of a misdemeanor
and trpon conviction thereof, shull
be punished by Imprlsonmont in the
Federal jail for a period of not
i.. ore than one year, or by a flue
of not more than one thousand dol
lars. or both sue!* fine and Imprison
incut in th> discretion of the court.
This bi!l Is Intended to correct
li e lax anner in which notaries use
t :"ir seals, the result of which has
been tho acquittal at Valdez of the
Fairbanks bank looters.
Rising Prices the Greatest
Blessing' of the
Human Race
By Professor IRVING FISHER. Political Economist
Hfter fifteen years of rising prices we have hyp
notized OURSELVES INTO THINKING THEY ARE AN UN.
MIXED EVIL. BUT RISING PRICES ARE. IN FACT. THE
GREATEST BLESSING TO THE HUMAN RACE.
IIow fervently the men of the nineties prayed for them! Each
generation is MORTGAGED TO THE ACCUMULATED CAP
ITAL OF THE PAST and has got to meet the interest and princi
pal of its debt. It is twice as easy to meet these payments with prices
rising as it is with prices falling.
Rising prices strike off the shackles of our debt to the past and
open the doors of opportunity of the future. CAPITAL LOSES,
EL'T HUMANITY GAINS. The rise in prices in the sixteenth
ceutury helped the peopie of Europe to shake off the inherited bur
dens of the feudal system and to clear the stage for the entry of mod
ern comment. FALLING PRICES, ON THE OTHER* HAND,
MAKE COWARDS OF US ALL They slam the door of oppor
tunity in our face.
X It K
IT ISNT THE RISE IN PRICES^ BUT OUR FAILURE TO ADAPT
OUR ECONOMIC MACHINERY TO IT, THAT CAUSES ALL THE
TROUBLE.
*. r *.
Wages don't respond like prices. They lag behind prices. They
aro the last to ri-e and the last to fall. They never rise as high or
fall as low. There is the same lag in the interest rate. This lag in
wages and interest gives to the adventurous and bold the chance of
profit and CAUSES TRADE EXPANSION.
