WlCkERSHAM's PROPOSED LAW

Fairbanks councilmen and others seem to see in the new law proposed by Delegate Wickersham, providing for legislative control of license moneys, much danger to the mun- cipality. The important phases of the law were published in The Citi- zen week ago, and at that time this newspaper called attention to the objections to the bill, but it was not desired to comment upon them until careful legal invest- gation could be made
 Since then, The Citizen has taken the matter up with one of the best attorneys of Fairbanks, who, after going into the matter carefully. de clared that the proposed new law, in lis opinion, will not make it possible for the legislature to cause the money collected in Fairbanks to be used outside of this city,
 iilS lCt,dl uCuuIlJoH iudhcS It quite evident that MT. Wickersham is carrying out his original plan of placing the schools of Alaska under the direction of Territorial superin, tendent, for the purpose of making them harmonize in courses of study and in grades. Under the present law, the council of each incorporated town and the respective school boards of the towns. direct the schools of the municipalities, and thus unless the law is changed, a territorial su- perintendent would have no right to regulate courses of study in in- corporated towns.
 Mir Wickersham's new bill provides that all license moneys collected in the Territory outside of incorporat. ed municipalities, are to be utilized for school, charity and road pur- poses, and that the money collected for licenses both in and out of in- corporated towns, shall be expended under the control of the legislature
 This, as interpreted by the at torney mentioned. does not make it mean that the legislature can, for instance, collect the license money in Fairbanks and cause it to be spent in any other place than in this city.
 Before leaving for Washington, Mir Wickersham told some of his friends here that he was planning to return to Alaska in time to be present at the session of the legis- lature, which will convene in March. He intimated that it is his plan to assist the Territorial lawmakers in passing laws for the improvement of the roads and schools of Alaska. Thus it is probable that MT. Wick. ersham hopes to get congress to give the legislature new powers along

THE CITIZENS CIRCULATION.

The claim of The Citizen that il has the largest circulation of the newspapers published in Alaska goes unchallenged for the simple reason that no publisher would be willing to take an oath to the con trary, inasmuch a. 1t is true. and to endeayor to deny it he would prob ably have to commit perjury.
 The Times, published in Fairbanks s, makes a claim that it is the most widely circulated newspaper in ln- terior Alaska which really has no meaning of importance. The Citi- zen is circulated in several foreign countries, including some in Europe but if the Times wants to claim the distinction of being the most widely circulated newspaper in In teriCr Alaska it is welcome to the honor, whether it can establish the claim or not.
 But this newspaper is ready 10 prove to tNe satisfaction of any other newspaper. and to the satisfaction of advertisers and the public in gen eral, that it enjoys the greatest cir culation of the newspapers published in Alaska. If the Times, or any other newspaper. for that matter, wants to question that claim, The Citizen is willing to have the matter left to a board of three businessmen who can go over the books and settle the matter for the benefit of all con- cerned. If the Times cares to enter into the matter it may appoint one businessman, The Citizen will appoint another and the two thus chosen may select third, and these can go over the books of the two newspa- pers in a way to satisfy themselves.
 While The Citizen has no way to establish proof to that effect, it s confident that it reaches more people than the News Miner and Times com bined for il is to be remembered that many people take both of the foregoing newspapers and their com bined circulation does not represent the total number of people they reach.
 There is an old saying that nothing succeeds like success" and this has been changed by successful news papers into the following; Nothing succeeds like circulation" Circula- ton is the thing that attracts ad- vertisers, for the purpose of an ad- VertiSement is to reach as many peo- ole as possible. Thus. Tie Citizen does not have tO cut rates in order to get advertising patronage for 1t knows that it gives value received. and the advertisers are satisfied of the same fact

THE ROAD QUESTION.

People of Valdez and some of the citizens of Fairbanks are opposing Delegate Wickersham' plan of pro yiding a road fund that will be ex- pended under the direction of Ter rtorial authority separate and dis tinct from that of the Alaska Road commission. It is argued by them that the plan will make it necessary for the maintenance of two road departments, while one could easily do the work
 It seems that this view is unjus- tified, considering the popular de mand there has been of late for the construction of more roads in remote derstood to be the intention of the Wickersham measure to rob the Road to put into the hands of the people of Alaska the right to spend their U" II lllollCy way Lilol AiCy IHd direct, through their own represen- tatives.
 Should MT. Wickersham' plans be carried out, it seems that the legis- lature will pass laws providing for road superintendents who will see that each district gets it's share of license money and other funds to be spent on roads, and that the work of the Alaska Road commission will be limited to the military roads of the Territory, which the commission is now working upon.
 The success or failure of the new scheme must depend in large mea- sure upon the good judgment used by the Alaska legislature in provid- ing laws for the expenditure of the local funds.

ment during the recent hard times that have visited this country
 Alaska has been especially gener- ovs in aiding the suffering people in Europe, and this in spite of the fact that this Territory is probably the farthest removed neutral land in the world from the scenes of tLc great war
 Much praise has been given the people of San Francisco for the way they contributed 10 the aid of the European war sufferers. The people of that city sent nearly s200 00O worth of contributions abroad in d ship sailing from San Francisco last month, but that is not as much in ac- cordance to population as has been contributed by tLe people of Fair banks and vicinity. The money sent by the people of San Francisco is less than 50 cents for each man. woman ard child in that city. while the money already sent and that which is ready to be sent. from Fairbanks and vicinity amounts to nearly $1 for each man, woman anu child in this district
 If letters coming from the Outside explain the situation there in a true m q hot pie in tie United States who are just as much in need of assistance as are the Belgians, and these should have little share of the money that is being freely contributed for charity. In fact. the American suf- ferers should come first to our minds, though we should try to be just to all

AIDING THE BElCjANS,

How far that little candle throws it's beams.
 So shines a good deed in naughty world" Shakespeare
 There is nothing like sympathy for suffering humanity to bring peo- pie together, and thus this war in Europe, even though it seems use less and unjustified, is bringing out the best sentiments of the American people who have no selfish interests in it's results. This is proved by the great amount of money being sent to the suffering people of Belgium. It seems that there is no district in the United States which has fail ed to respond to this call for aid from beyond the Atlantic, and the only danger is that while the Amer- can people are responding to the call for aid from abroad, they may for get the needs of their own people who have been deprived of employ

POPULAR PAIR
 ARE MADE ONE

Eliminating another of the many romances which have had tEeir incep- ton in the northland. MT. Paul k. Wag her and Miss Ida A. Grove were united in matrimony last Wednes- day evening at the Presbyterian church. Rev. c. c. Bruce officiating The immediate attendants on the couple were Mrs. F. Groff Hamilton, an aunt of the bride. and Mr. Angus Mcbride Others witnessing the ceremony were Mrs. l.. E. Robertson. Mrs. Hazel Cooper. Mir Harry Abercrombie. Mrs. Frank Johnson. Mrs. Fern Johnson, MT. and Mrs. Gene Huckins. MT and Mrs. Henry BaatZ, MT. and Mrs. Paul j. Rickert and Mrs. c. w. Adams
 The bridal party flied into the church to the strains of Mendels- sohn's wedding march. played by Mrs. Fern Johnson. promptly at 10:30 o'clock, and the mystic words making the popular pair of young folks one. were immediately pronounced. At the conclusion of the ceremony the party repaired to the Whitely resi- dence on Eighth avenue, which Mir and Mrs. Wagner will make their home. where an informal reception was held.
 The wedding came as surprise to the greater majority of the friends of the young couple who, while they knew that Dan Cupid had been vigor- ously plying his darts in their direc- tion for nearly two years past, yet failed to realize that his supply was rlI hon t.I decided to bring things to close Some of the friends were not even apprsed of the fact that there was an engagement, although it had ex- isted for two months prior to the wedding.
 On Thursday evening at their resi- dence, the newlyweds were given a surprise party large number of their friends dropping in upon their solitude unexpectedly. Refreshments of all kinds were quickly supplied and as music had been brought by the visitors, merry evening was enjoyed by all.
 One of the features of the evening was the appearance of the bride in her beautiful bridal costume. From all sides could be heard expressions of admiration at the beautiful pie ture she presented and when they had ceased, the bride divided her bouquet of orange blossoms into two parts, and tossed each to the waiting young folks. Miss Irene Roadruck secured that intended for the young ladies, Frank P Wood gathering in the emblem which indicates that he will be the next young man to be welded, among those who were pres ent.
 Mrs. Wagner first came North two years ago next month from Great Falls, Montana, to visit her aunt Mrs. Hamilton. Soon after she arrived here she met Mr Wagner and the acquaintance then formed quickly ripened into a love which brought about a wedding ceremony. although since that time she made another tip to her Montana home. returning here last summer. Mv. Wagner is a Pennsylvanian by birth but has made Alaska his home since 1910 when he came to the Interior and engaged in mining. He is now chief deputy clerk of court for this division. which position he has held for the past two years He is an attorney at Jaw although fe has not engaged in his profession in Alaska.

THE SPASM'S DUPLICiTY.

Once more the News-Miner, the ''Spasm" for short, has heard it's masters voice, and in obedience to the latter it has made an unwarrant- cd attack upon the motives of a
 citizen for opposing the letting of a franchise 10 the Telephone com pany It would intimidate a citi- zen for opposing corporatiOn's $ plans, which shows conclusively where that alleged newspaper stands.
 J. E. Moody, who happens to be a member of the school board, took the initiative in a movement in op- position to the granting of fran chise to the telephone company. Two weeks ago he filed communi- cation with the council, asking the
The Alaska citizen., 1915-01-25

members to delay action until he and others could come there 10 protest against the franchise. T.e mem bers of the council expressed de sire to have the matter thoroughly discussed before final vote should be taken, and they received Mi. Moody and h4s associates last Mon day night in courteous manner.
 There were nearly 70 people wlt4 and there was nothing of an offer siye nature said by any of them that the vote on the franchise he delayed for 90 days in order to give the people time to study it. and incidentally 10 allow a new council to be elected before the measure Is passed City Attorney Tom Marquan T ade a strong plea in favor of the franchise. pointing out it's merits as well as it's legal features, and though Mir Moody and others took an op- 3osite view of the matter to that presented by the city attorney. the discussion throughout was harmoni- ous.
 But the following afternoon the Spasm devoted more than column to an insinuating editorial, in which Mr Moody was belittled and ac- cused of playing politics in the hope of being reelected school director His term expires soon, and it was insultingly inferred by the Spasm that MT. Moody was opposing the franchise for the sole purpose of gaining notoriety for himself.
 The Citizen is not boosting Mr. Moody and is not championing any political ambitions that he has It has even opposed him in the past and may do so again. but it stands for the rights of the people to be heard on all public matters, and if will ever voice it's sentiments against a disreputable newspaper which tries to intimdate citizens from using their rights in discussing public matters.
 As a matter of justice to the Tele- phone company it is not to be sup posed that it has asked the Spasm to fight against the freedom of speech in the matter of the franchise. That newspaper seems to have taken upon itself the job of protecting it's sup porters in a way that no reasonable company would ask, for il will be remembered that the telephone fran chise was before the council for 2 month before the Spasm even men toned in 8 news way that the mat ter was being considered
 If the Fairbanks Telephone con- pany is to have the confidence and respect of the community. it must cease to affiliate itself with the Spasm. Undoubtedly the Spasm can make more enemies for the Tela- phone company in one editorial like that published last Tuesday after noon than the company can regain as friends by good service in many years. Such tactics as those em, ployed by the Spasm will not only wreck the latter in time, but will tend to ruin the people affiliated with it.
