AKE VOU 1'Xtlt OK AGAINST?
At the regular meeting of the
town council tonight will come up
the question as to whether the
town shall accede to the demand
of a 50 per cent raise in the rates
now being paid to thellome Pawer
company or shall devise others mea4
to supply the needs of the con
sumers.
As it is a matter that is of
vast importance to the future wel
fare of the town It should be hand
led in a purely business like man
ner, and neither animosity nor fav
oritism shown in its discussion and
disposal.
If it cau b? demonstrated that it is
for the best interests of all to con
tinue on in the manner we have
been going, that it is the most eco
nomical and practical method that
can be devised and that a majority
of the tax payers are in its favor,
then we say for the town council to
accept the terms offered, and get
things settled so that the people ma
kuow where they are at.
If, on the other hand, it is shown
as we believe to be th^ case, that
the supplying of water and light to
the town of Skagway Is a good pay
ing Disposition and one that can 1>e
installed at a comparatively small
increase in cost of additional equip
ment to make it a complete sys
tem, and the taxpayers are in fa
vor of a municipally owned and con
trolled plant, then, we say, steps
should at once be taken whereby
their wishes shall be considered and
plans formulated for the adaption
of means looking toward a fulfill
ment of their desires.
The meeting tonight should he .it
tended by every one who has the
best interests of the town at heart
and it is the hope of the Daily Al
askan that a majority of the tax
payers wi • be on hand and express
their opinions either for or against
the acceptance of the demand made
by the Home Power Co.
American Farmer Not a Mendicant,
but Co-operation Must be Had
and Waste Eliminated
By DAVID F. HOUSTON. Secretary of Agriculture
THERE is a general impression that farmers need
better credit arrangements. The slightest re
flection will convince one that all farmers do
not equally need it; that all sections are not similarly
circumstanced.
ONE THING IS CLEAR—THE SCHEMES THAT
ARE MULTIPLYING WHICH CONCEIVE THE
FARMER TO BE A MENDICANT AND A SUBJECT
FOR UNIQUE AND SPECIAL LEGISLATION MAY
BE AT ONCE CONDEMNED.
The American farmer does not need or desire to
be classed with those foreign people who are just
pmpr<rin:' fr » a condition of serfdom and tutelage.
Ho ask- t ■ opportunity that is not afforded to every
A me tie.hi citizen. He asks for no legislation which ® byA^ciation.P' S
shall irive him credit on easier terms than his brother
mechanic or hi- professional friend or his merchant may secure it
But he <! >:'« to be assisted in CREATING CONDITIONS AND
MACHINES WHICH SHALL ENABLE HIM OX A SI-MIL A1!
CREDIT FOUNDATION TO SECURE HIS MONEY AT THE S.V
RATES AS AXV OTHER CLASS IN THE COMMUNITY. This
and thi- a •>. e. ii seems to me, is all that he asks and is nothing less than
he deserves.
Several things stand out clearly at this stage of our knowledge. All
the wa-u> mns: he eliminated.
In simple justice the producer must be paid specifically for what he
produces and for no iiing else, and the consumer must reccive what he
thinks he purchases and must he willing to pay a fair price for a good
product.
N0TH1XG LESS THAN CONCERTED ACTIOX WILL SUF
FICE. • CO-OI'EKATION IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
The same business sense and the same organizing genius which have ;
placed this nation in the front rank in industry must be invoked for j
agriculture.
