The time for election of a n nor, three council
men and a member of the school hoard, will soon
be here. In order to have a ice in the selection
of these men or women, we have to register, i
Like “Shop early about Christmas" we should,
register early, in case later something should
prevent us. and thus deprive us of the privilege
of having a voice in the ’.nti- n of candidates,
and for the same reason we -dial! have no voice—
or should not have—in the management of the
community^ affairs. In local affairs, every
voter should take an intei. t. because what may
affect one will affect all. Under good, safe man
agement of public interest - if the town prospers
we shall all benefit and th ? re e-rse applies with
equal force. As we have no saloon to fight this
year, there can be no cause for adi vision into
factions and we should i'in in selecting pro-;
gressive practical men, Xo wild theories should
be introduced. While we should be progressive,)
we should be so conservatively. So far as we,
are personally concerned, we arc willing that;
other communities try toeoiies. we prefer the;
knowledge acquired fc> experience.
THE ONL\ Si STEM
Yesterday, dispatches told as that Premier
Paderewski of Poland wanted a large army with
which to deal with the anarchists infesting his
country. That bullets and not 1 ibles would have
to be uced to make them b have. Obviously,
that is the only system. moments avail no
thing because they want everything their own
way; and they stop at nothin? to overcome
whatever objection the, find. They were pat
terned after Kaiser Bill only not so cunning, but
their aim is the same—blood.
That class of degenerates are found every
where. and we believe we ha e them evei^in our
midst. They may not be as bold perhaps here as
some places we hear about: but their agitation
for what they call “reform’' i nothin? short of
arbitrary notions that cannot fail to bring eahoes
in a community well satisfied with peace. Those
agitators are.to all intent tfnd purposes, bolshe
vists reaching fast for the next step—anarchists
Good red-blooded Americans will not stand for
much more of that work as was carried on in
Seattle recently. They will put aside their pray
er books and go at them i;t the style advocated
by Paderewski.
WE FEEL BETTER NOW
After all, those of us who were somewhat
doubtful about the legality of the aet of our ter*
ritorial legislature, whereby the territory col
lected a hansome sum of money from canneries
and fishing industry in general, will feel at ease
now that the United States Supreme Court dedd
ed that the act was legal. From now on, we can
expect clear sailing through the big packers’
pile of revenue from that source. The next thing
we hear will be that the legislature has demand
ed the big packers’ entire revenue, besides sell
ing them the privilege of spending their money
in Alaska. There is no use of talking, we have
them “over a barrel.” Anyhow, we feel better
now. We won’t have to “blow back” as the big
fishing interests had expected we would, and that
helps some. It would be well for the lawmakers
to tax them extra this year in order to give us
the necessary fund with which to build a school
house: a recreation park and a nice drive to it.
What you have saved by eating war-bread
last summer and fall is supposed to be included
when you fisrure your income tax. No deduction
for that will be allowed, we are told, and what
applies to us should apply to all.
Things will be done differently after today in
congress. After today we shall have a Republi
can congress, the only lawmaking body that ever
did things right. A democratic congress is al
right —in a potato patch, where all democrats
should be held. They should not be permitted to
rom at will.
It is not enough to figure out your income tax,
but you have to pay. Do it now, for the time is
short before the collector gets after you.
It is a wonder to the patriotic Alaskan how
any man can stand up in the streets of Seattle
and call for cheers for the bolshevist and I. W.
W. movements and escape hanging to the nearest
lamp-post as an arch traitor to his country and
bag. A law should be passed promptly deporting
all persons sympathizing with these movements.
Americans have no use for such cattle, and the
first man who provides a necktie for speakers
publicly expressing such sentiments should be
awarded a medal from the government. Men
who preach anarchy and revolt have no com
plaint to maqe if they are handled by the me
thods they profess to admire.—Valdez Miner
The ban which Secretary Baker and the de
mocratic maiority in congress proposed to put
on wearing of service stripes by soldiers is easyto
explain. They are pacifists, therefore ashamed
of having had a war, and they think the soldiers
should be shamed, too, and should try to forget
the great adventure as a disgraceful episode in
their lives. A pacifist mind always works in re
verse direction.—Oregonian.
