IF THE COAT FITS. PUT IT ON
It is regrettable that there is rot
a better attendance at the Com
mercial Association meetings.
Do the people o£ this town, the
majority of them, care nothing
about the town's welfare? If so, it
were better the town had never
been started.
Twelve members compose a quor
um of the association. At nearly
every meeting about half this num
ber may be depended upon to at
tend. Then these fuithful six get
oui ana scour me town ior six
more to make up a quorum. T his
is a sad state of affairs. There
should be an attendance of at least
100 at each meeting. Every inter
est of the town should be repreoen
ted.
After awhile, when the town is
incorporated, we will all pick out a
few citieens to make laws for us,
and call them councilmen. Then
v. her. they do something which is
not to our liking, we will write let
ters to the newspaper denouncing
them in bitter terms and wondering
why we ever elected them. Never
theless, as election time rolls ’Found
the "Outs" who howled the loudest
will be the most anxious to be num
bered among the "Ins." They will
be willing to take the abuse they
handed to others.
Just now, every person in town
can have a say as to the govern
ment of the town. We ean all be
councilmen. -lh« Commercial As
sociation was organized as a med
ium through which concerted ac
tion may be taken. Great good has
already been accomplished by the
association ana tne Dan nas only
just been started rolling. Pi ogress
may be reported on every project
undertaken. Even the boueheads
who run the postoffice department
are being kept alive to the fact that
Hyder is very much on the map.
This paper was asked (unofficial
ly) at the last meeting to roast the
community, so the community may
now consider itself properly roast
ed. But in all seriousness, Mr. Man
and Mrs. Woman, isn’t the welfare
of the town of any interest to YOU?
You answer yes? Then ^r^..
Have a voice in the Commercial
Association proceedings.

Recent exhorbitant increases in
the cost of paper are responsible.
1 he beiuinel accuses paper manu
facturers ol being in a conspiracy
to force the price of paper up, and
is piobably oorrect.
