THE CAMPS CREDIT,

In it's treatment of the bank mat ter the Citizen has at all times had in mind that the credit of the camp was seriously threatened by the complications that had arisen. For this reason it has tried to give the brighter side of the case rather than the more gloomy. It suggested the scrip idea in the full knowledge that such action would alleviate con- ditions and that the real money of the camp was very rapidly going out of circulation No reference has been made before to this latter con- dition but it appears now to be es- sential If the necessity for reasonable action is to be emphasized.
 Some of those who are shouting the loudest just now to the effect that the bank will never pay another cent Ca statement made openly at the meeting Wednesday nighD, may not realize that Seattle houses have intimated that no credit will be ex- tended to Fairbanks houses unless 25 per cent. of the amount accompan- ies the order, and there is certified statement, from reputable bank here to the effect that the goods

tell his story without fear or favor. He would sCrutinize every transaC- ton leading up to the consolidation. and if Barnette or Parsons had made a crooked turn there would be some thing laid before the grand jury which would help them fiji each of them out with prison suit. To the last cent he would indicate what was owing to the depositors, and who owed it.
 IL Is the only way which promises quick action of the kind that will get results. + Is some thing which, if it is practicable now. should have been done long ago. There is yet time to get Barnette or anyone else who Is responsible. be they in MeXi- co. Canada. America CT Europe. This course will obviate the necessity of fattening any lawyers poke at the expense of the depositors and it will get results-which mean some thing.
 The credit of the suggestion is due to Receiver Mack. so il is one that should be acted cn. Get busy.

THAT "SUBSlOY."

When Captain Barnette was issu- ing his first statement he said he wanted to give il the fullest pub. licity immediately. He realized. he said, that he could not get this through the limited circulation of the dailies and wanted to know if the Citizen would get out a special edition Git being the middle of the week. if he would pay the actual cost of printing and distribution. He was told that the statement would be run in the regular issue without charge. but he insisted he wanted 1t immediately The issue was put out for him in just the same manner as so many handbills would have been printed for him or anyone else
 AS to whether the money paid for this piece of jobwork was the de. positOrs' money or not. we fail to see where it comes in any differ ent category to that paid by the captain for his board to Mrs Card, his lodging to Dave Petrea or his stage fare to the Orr company. They are selling meals, board and trans pOrtation and the Citizen is selling job printing.

A WAY TO GET ACTION.

To the Citizen it appears that the failure of the grand jury to get action on any of those responsible for the wrecking of the Washington Alaska bank is directly attributable to the fact that the evidence was not put before them in way that fully exposed the illicit intent of those who skillfully maneuvered to get hold of the depositors' money That the bank was robbed and that Bar nette, Parsons ct al were the lCot- CTS Is the general impression, but 1t has come to be understood that if such Is the case their tracks have been skillfully covered
 To the laymen such as constitute the ordinary grand jury, the books showing the transactions of a bank for couple of years constitute sim ply one great mass of figures; and it is not to be expected that per fectly lucid idea of the exact con- ditions could be attained by them with the limited information at their command The district attorney is lawyer and not banker, and he too, was handicapped to this ex- tent, and 1t Is natural he would be loath to start a criminal action in which he was not practically sure of securing conviction.
 The same conditions will prevail if another grand jury is called unless some different action is taken. There is one course which we believe has not yet been suggested, and it is one which appears to give the most promise of clearing up the matter of responsibility" once for all.
 Let the depositors get together and petition the court to ask the department of justice to send a na- tional bank examiner to audit the books of the bank for the past couple of years. If such man is sent his report will undoubtedly place the responsibility where it belongs and the history of the bank will be told in such simple form as will be understandable by child. As a man without interests in the camp he could be depended on to hew to the line, caring nothing where the chips fell or whose OK was gored No accountant of this camp can es- cape the criticism of a few of the irresponsibles, and 1t Is very proba- ble on that account no good man would accept the job if 1t were ten aered him.
 An official bank examiner would have no one to consider and he would

will be taken up and paid for i'm. mediately upon arrival Or it may he that they do not care.
 They may net be aware of the fact that the limited amount of cur rency in the camp is very rapidly being Appreciated by those who are hoarding every cent they can get their hands on, and by those who are sending out their money through the postofiice.
 One instance. of a number sim liar, may help illumine the situ- ation
 One day last week a man who had just drawn check for S1.000 in pay ment fir a wood contract went to he bank and drew his money. With out loss of moment the currency was cartCd off to the postoffice and a money order bought for the Out side Then a visit was paid to Peo- pies and the D. c. company, and line of credit established on the strength of more money coming in he future on the wood contract Even the dullest will understand that this kind of thing, while natural un- der the circumstances, is not calCu- lated to help matters here.
 There is not businessman in own who would oppose the scrip idea if he were not afraid he would have unloaded on him more than his share of the scrip. Each one is will ing to admit that the scheme is practical and entirely warranted so far as the present condition of the bank is concerned Under the cir cumstances the opposition made to it by the Times, and it's apparent anxiety 10 make matters appear worse than they are can only be guessed at. That paper neglected to publish the statement issued last week by the receivers, although all it had 10 do was to lift the type bod ily as it does every day in the case of large portion of it's news mat Ter. from the News-Miner. It can only be inferred that 1t did not do it because it did net want matters to appear any better than 1t has at tempted to paint them.
 The two statements published by he receivers during the week are printed on other pages of this issue. They are official and authentic, and it would be well for all depositors to study them carefully. They are published with no other object in

THE CITIZENS COURSE IN THE
 BANK MATTER.

In it's first issue after the Wash, ington-Alaska bank closed it's doors the Citizen openly charged the wreck ing of the institution to Captain Bar nette The dailies, although they had cached published half a dozen issues, had contented themselves with meaningless generalities, and the Times, after asking a lot of ques- tions addressed to no one in partic ular, had wound up with the state ment that it did mot presume to charge Barnette with criminal re- sponsibility for the wrecking of the bank"
 In the same issue of January 9 the Citizen called attention to vari- ous matters which were of suspi- cious nature and laid them bare to the public for the first time so they could be threshed out by grand jury should one be called to investi gate the matter. This course was pursued for several issues, each week some shady transactions being uncovered.
 Then came the announcement that Captain Barnette was coming in with the intention of devoting all of his resources toward the rehabilitation
The Alaska citizen., 1911-04-03
THE TIMES COURSE.

Tt is very well for Captain Bar nette to advise the depositors, through his subsidized mouthpieces, to accept scrip"
 The above is an extract from an editorial published by the Times last Tuesday morning. As the Citizen originated the scrip idea and was the only one to give it publicity, it was plain that this paper was the object of the dirty insinuations of the Times editor" However, when ication in the News-Miner he re- sorted to the usual sniveling subter- fuge and whined that the reference was to an article which had been copied in the Times from the Seat tie Times, although this article nat urally had no reference to scrip.
 What 1t is that Is inducing the Times to take a course opposed to the best interests of the camp in this matter 1t is hard for the Citi- zen to guess. In the light of the knowledge that Barnette's counsel had much to do with the framing of the Times bank stories" while the nego- tiations with the captain were going on, we might hazard guess were we sufficiently uncharitable, but we are loath to believe that there Is anyone in the camp so despicable as to aid in the robbery of tue de- positors of the defunct bank.

to see him turned down. IL was induced to run again. as he had firm ly made up his mind 10 step down. The people are to be congratulated on the fact that he was prevailed on to change his mind.
 Tony Nordale was last year elect ed by so large vote that he was appointed mayor, and has proved so efficient in that office that there is practically no doubt of his re-elec- tion.
 Frank S Gordon is one of the most prominent business men of the ministration of the affairs of the city, during the past year, just the same good judgment he would apply to his own business. It has been by the use of such judgment that the city debt has been reduced.
 E. R. Peoples Is. as is we'll known. doing business here on as large a scale as any individual in Alaska. His business has prospered because business acumen has been behind it. Deeply interested in the camp he can be expected to devote his time and attention to its welfare.
 Oscar Frey is a substantial citi- zen of family who has made his home here for many years and expects to remain Capable. trustworthy and respected by all his friends, he Is also able to bring his share of good business sense to the council delib- erations. If he is appointed as chairman of the finance committee il Is one sure thing he will have a thorough understanding of his duties the first week. There will be no waiting until he is going out of office.
 John Patten is the proprietor of the Third Avenue hotel. and. as such, is vitally interested in the welfare of the town. He has always taken keen interest in civic affairs, although heretofore he has refused to run for the council.
 John Howsam appears for the first time on a ticket calling for the suf- frage of the people. He Is well known, however, to host of friends and so well thought of that there is
 little doubt of his election.
 These seven men the Citizen has confidence in. It knows that in their hands the city's affairs will be well looked after and that there will be a continuance of the policy of re trenchment pursued until the city is entirely cleared of debt. It be lieves that under their management the taxation next year will not be one-half of what was necessary last year; and that the various depart ments will at all times be kept up to a standard of thorough efficiency. It is, therefore. with the greatest confidence that they are recommend ed to the voters.
 The election is tomorrow. Let your votes indicate that you want such attention given to the city's business affairs as you would de- mand for your own private business. You can only insure this by voting

GRAND JURY BATTING.

Since Fairbanks was a pup there has been hardly grand jury con vened that escaped the scurrilous criticism of the Times. In Judge Reid's time objection was made to one jury on the score of boX-stuffing and a new jury was called. The Times was upholding every action of Judge Reid and it is presumed the new jury selected was satisfactory. In fact this was to be inferred from the fusome flattery bestowed on il from time to time in the columns of the paper.
 There came a time. however, when the jury had to turn in it's report and, To, and behold, one of the Times owners was criticised for his connection with the expenditures of the council which have beggared day. And then what? Why the jury was just as bad as the rest of them and little worse, according to the Times.
 And since that time hardly a jury has escaped the tar brush. Un- less the Times "policy" was upheld the members were horsethieves and everything else.
 Last Thursday in an editorial enti- lol bo ;,,,it FFi,1nS said Tn view of the present events the depCsitors are justified in the belief that he (Barnette) was well enough supplied with funds to influ ence the grand jury" Throughout the week 1t has been insinuating the same thing.
 And this kind of thing is likely to continue unless it is stopped in the way such blackguardism warrants. already, when every man selected on a grand jury will have to plead that he is afraid. on account of his business, to serve.
 The men who sat on the recent grand jury can only square them selves with the public by taking drastic action, through the courts or otherwise. If they take no such ac- tion they can blame no enc for ac- matter, and they must remain under the stigma that has been cast upon them.
 It is probable that if the Times editor" is appealed to he will tell each of them, as he told Henry Ray that, of course" it was nor he that was referred to. But that will not bring any justification in the eyes of the public.
 been appealed to by some one or more of the grand jurors. and that they have been informed that they can under no circumstances break their oaths of silence as to the transactions of the grand jury as a body. It is undoubtedly with this in mind that the Times is emboldened to make it's dirty attacks, knowing that the victims of its slimy ebullitiOns are prevented from defending them selves. But to the Citizen it ap- pears that If criminal act has been committed in the full view of the district attorney, it is up to that official to take cognizance of it, and thereby afford some protection to the men who have sworn to do their duty as grand jurors and have most probably adhered to that oath. He knows best whether they did or not, and he has no right to stand idly by and see them attacked with no 0unortunity of defending themselves
