TARDY CANDIDATES.

There are reports about town that
certain people are preparing tickets
for the coming elections. and that
for reasons not quite understood
withheld until near election time.
II is all right to be cautious about
the preparation of tickets. but the
public is entitled to know al the
earliest possible time who are to
be voted upon at the election. II
takes a little time for people To
think over such things and to make
inquiries regarding the qualifications
OF the various candidates, and when
\ ticket is put into the field at the
last minute the voters are not pre-
pared to act properly.
The best advice that has been
given to voters in other places I'M
der such circumstances is that il
is best to eliminate the eleventh
hour candidate in favor of the one
who comes out early The same
advice would be applicable to the
people OF Fairbanks
II the public makes it evideni
that tardy candidates will be side
tracked at the polls, it will have ii
beneficial effect on the elections
Of the future. II must be remember

for the benefit of the men elected
but for the benefit Of the public
and therefore the public is entitled
to time in which to make its
selections
1t has been suggested to The Citi
zen that certain candidates are hold
ing back for the reason that they
do not want to be asked to appear
before the Civic club to explain their
attitude on public problems. If this
be the case. then they should be
viewed with suspicion by the voters,
and probably they will find that it
will not pay to dodge issues.
The election is only about two
weeks away, and it is strange tina.
20 little has been made public con-
corning the identity Of the men seek
ing office. II no candidates are to
announce themselves, the business
men Of the city should prepare a
ticket that will be certain to stand
for reduced expenditure for the CON-
ing year. TIE ticket should be put
il the ffolA soen.

CORRESPONDENCE

There are a few persons in this
F.! town who are so contemplate and
low that they are stealing magazines
and periodicals from the public IL
brary. The managers, after consid-
cradle effort, were able last fall to
raise money to keep the library open
to the public. providing clean,
bright, warm room for all who wish
ed to spend their time in. with books.
papers and magazines OF all kinds
to read and few small-souled
skunks--it would be an honor to call
them thieves-appreciate all OF this
so little that they carry away the
material which is so generously
placed at their disposal
1t is almost impossible to keep 4
late issue of any magazine for more
than few days till it is packed
away by one of these vandals.
When the call was made last fall
for volunteers to cut wood one day
for the library, the chances are 1000
to l that they could have been found
mooching heat around some saloon
stove. The writer has seen some Of
the magazines, etc, in the possession
OF persons who have taken them,
the public library stamp being in
plain view and unless they are re-
turned at once, the writer, who ap
many an hour there is going to lay
1t before the police. and two people
at least are going to learn some
thing. They are known.

MAKING A NEW STATE.

If reports be correct, a handful of
ill-advised people down in Southeast
ern Alaska are planning to have the
legislature take the initiative in a
movement having for its object the
creation of a new state out of the
First and Third judicial divisions of
Alaska, and allowing the interior and
the Second division to be a territory
The plan is outlined as follows in
a recent editorial in the Cordova
Times:
There is movement on in
Southeastern Alaska to divide the
territory. and the matter may be
taken up at the present session of
the legislature. The idea is to make
state of the coast section includ-
ing the First and Third divisions
running as far as the Alaska range
! towards the interior, and as far as
the Aleutian chain Of islands or pen
insula. In this area are included practic-
ally all of the gold and copper quartz
mines of Alaska. and the conditions
throughout are similar and differ ma
teIially from those of the interior.
where placer mining is the chief in
dustry. This coast section as
state would be self-supporting and
the government could still exercise
its territorial functions over the
rest of the territory
Just what procedure would be
necessary to bring about this result
is a question which the legislature
will have to grapple with, provided
the proposed division is brought up
in that body"
So great would be the fallacy of
such an attempt that one would
hardly expect it from men of ordi-
nary judgment, let alone men of at
fairs in territory like Alaska Any
body familiar with state government
knows that the cost of maintaining
state is enormous, and that the
mere fact that state has but a
small population does not lessen the
cost materially. They also know
that if state is formed of the terri
tory mentioned, the government will
cease to pay the expenses of the
legislature, Of the cost of local courts,
the expenses of the enforcement
of state laws. of the cost of building
trails and roads, and will cease to
be guardians for the people.
If the proposed new state is
formed, it cannot be expected that
its annual cost can possibly be limited
to less than half a million dollars
year. There are about 10000
people, including Indians, in the two
divisions, and thus the expenses
would be a little more than $33 each
year for each man, woman and child
in the state. This means that
man supporting family of five
would have to contribute, on a per
capita basis, about $165 year for
the support of the little state, which
would be extortionate
But, really, the people of the Fourth
and Second divisions should not OBJ
ject if the other two divisions want
to become state. The poor I'M
fortunates who would have to pay
for the luxury of the proposed new
state government would be the ones
to suffer, and nobody else So, after
all, why should other people envy
them
