Within a short time voters of
Nenana -will be called upon to cast
their ballots for members of the
town’s first regular council, and
the matter should be given serious
thought.Also at that time—on the
first of November—the question of
incorporation will be decided—
whether the town will be permit
ted to slide along without manage
ment, without regulated fire pro
tection and without those federal
revenues which rightfully belong
to the town, or whether there shall
be local self government, with
efficient supervision, adequate fire
protection, lighted streets through
out the winter months and the
promise of municipal-owned public
utilities.
There is so much that can be
said in favor of incorporation, and
so little justly that can be said in
opposition to lit, that the question
seems hardly worth while debating.
In fact, The News does not know,
of a single good and substantial
reason why the town should not in
corporate. If there are any good
reasons, or one good reason, why
the town should not incorporate,
The News would like to be inform
ed, for the interest of The News
in the question lies solely in the
betterment of local conditions and
the advancement of the town’s
wulfare and growth.
Assuming that the question of
incorporation will be decided in
the affiirmative, as it has long ago
been decided in aii the important
towns of the Territory, the im
portant phase of the election con
fronting the voters is the selection
of a board of aldermen who can
be depended upon to give the town
efficient service. It is a mistake
common to new towns and new or
ganizations of all kinds to under
estimate the importance of making
careful selection of officers. Poor
management is almost as danger
ous as no management at all.
Alaska will secure needed legisla
tion, as well as a business-like ad
ministration under the Harding ad
ministration, in the opinion of Jack
Underwood, former Washington cor
respondent and now Washington re
presentative of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce. Underwood arrived in
Seattle recently to spend a month
studying Washington state projects,
which will be taken up by Washing
ton's delegation in Congress. Under
wood says Delegate Dan Sutherland
is getting somewhere at Washing
ton. He say* the delegate has in
spired the confidence of those having
Alaska matters in hand, and in a
courteous way has made a large
number of friends. *'1 believe", the
former newspaperman said in an in
terview. “that the Currv bill will be
amended to include the administra
tion idea of consolidating Alaska
affairs into one department, phobab
ly the Interior department." He
says this is considered the logical
thing to do, and if the 32 bureaus
controlling Alaska affairs are placed
directly under authority of the sec
retary of the interior that much ofj
the red tape will be eliminated, and j
Alaska unfettered. There is a feel- i
ing at Washington, according to
Underwood, that the delegate, gov
ernor and Secretary Fall will agree
eventually upon national legislation 1
and department regulations which'
will open the Alaska resources upon
sane and logical lines. Delegate!
Sutherland, in the opinion of Under-1
wood, is working to this end.
There is something grotesque in i
the proposal to combine the farmers!
i
of the country and organized labor
in a new politica! party, rarmersi
labor, it is true, and they are of
the class of real producers. But it
does not follow necessarily that!
the long-boured. unorganized tillers ]
of the soil will make dependable
voting companions for the short
houred unionized workers of the
mines and factories. If the workers
of the country only realized it,
they do not need the farmers or
any other class to give them power
at the polls.

town this week Windy, where he has
been assisting to complete the Mc
Donoug-Van Kirk contract, says it
is his intention to move to An
chorage for the winter unless he
can find something for his stock to
do in the Interior during the winter.
He has ten head of horses, with no
sale for them and feed too costly
to permit of wintering them in
idleness. He plans to leave for the
coast on Saturday, with Mrs. Pat
terson and the children.
Mr. and Mrs. Antone Letray are
in town from their camp near

take place at Union hall on Satur
day night, and a special effort will
be made to make the affair an en
joyable one for those attending.
The dance will be the first of a
number of similar gatherings to be
given by the club during the winter,
and it is the hope of the committee
in charge that there will be a large
turnout of dancers.
Val Diebold. who arrived in town
yesterday from the Totatlanika dis
trict, has two good horses which
he is anxious to give away. He will
turn them over to any one. without
cost, who will promise to take care
of them, for he has no further use
for them himself and does not in
tend to board them all winter.
