ROAD BOND BILL IS
DRAFTED HERE YESTERDAY
Owing to Oversight Measure Endorsed
By All Commissioners of State AL
most Failed of Introduction.

A bill was drafted yesterday in this
city under the direction of Chairman
Carlson of the board of county COM
missioners, permitting parts Of coun-
ties outside of Independent road dis
tricts to vote bonds for road improve
ment without consulting voters inside
such districts, against whom, under
the provisions of the proposed act, no
tax for the payment of such bonds can
be levied. The proposition was un-
animously endorsed by the recent
meeting of county commissioners at
Boise, but owing to a misunderstand-
ing in regard to who should draft the
bill, it was not presented. Represen-
tative Sims discovered the oversight
and wrote yesterday concerning it,
with the result that action was taken
at once.

TO OUR FELLOW CITIZENS OF GERMAN
 DESCENT

(From the Milwaukee Germania Herod)
 Every citizen of German birth has rendered the oath of allegiance to the country of his adoption His pride of ancestry should remind him of the this faithful to this country.
 No two masters
 Every citizen serve only his own country. ter nothing in this respect as far as the citizen of German descent is concerned. He is in duty post unhesitatngy and unflinchingly, even unto death.
 How very grave. But every dark cloud if there is such cloud, has silver lining.
 Cannot the of German blood render ser vice to the country which is still dear to his heart by the very fufment of his duty Ameri- citizen?
 America alone and will be the decisive
 Only in Germany general conviction that Amer ica and will decide the issues does not seem to prevail They do not know in Germany the mex haustible resources of America; they do not know in Germany the indomitabe will of country to conquer They perceive merely that far pro- United States utterly unprepared. Yet suffic- tent support and will be given the entente powers for preliminary check-to hold out till Americas armies of millions reach Europe's soil and gain the victory
 To bring this to the consciousness of the Ger man people the German American may lend his aid
 Furthermore, he may impress upon the mind of the German people that they may have an honorable peace as soon as they will themselves take hold of matters in the German Empire.
 America alone stands firm. unbroken. fresh with inexhaustibe resources. It does not fight to make conquests it does not fight to gain reimbursement of it's expenditures. This must be made clear to the big heads of the pan-Germans and to the Prussian junkers. They must learn to relnqush all thoughts andf dreams of world dominion.
 If the German people will it, the useless she'd ding of blood will Then America will dictate the terms of peace, which the President of the Unit ed States already has proclaimed in the following words:
 Punitive damages, the dsmemberment of em- pires the establishment of selfish and exclusive onomic leagues we deem inexpedient and in the end worse than futile, proper basis for peace of any kind, least of all for an enduring peace That must be based upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind"

ALASKA'S GREATEST NEED-PEOPLE
Anchorage Democrat)


 What does Alaska need most? Adequate lines of transportation from the coast to the interior enable freight rates from the United States proper to the Territory; further and enlarged agricultural experimentation by the U s. Department of Agricul- ture needed fish legislation to the end of building up permanent fishing population better school and mail facilities and above all it needs people,
 We can get all of the things first mentioned and if we unable to secure large permanent popua- tiOn efforts will surely meet failure.
 It seems to that Secretary Lane from the first the great need and he for shaping the railroad building project to that end The worlds war came on and the United States found itself confronted with questions calling for immed- fate action than it has in the past forty years that little railroad relief venture is apt to be side tracked to large extent from the public mind. But in Alaska, who has the real interest of the country at heart should bend every energy towards seeing that people, and the right kind of people, to this territory in large numbers There is ample work for them to do. and the best opportunities in America for business and home building are to be found in Alaska. But thing is certainty and that is never hope to make out of this land of until such time the population is many times that of what it is today.

VICTORY INSURANCE

Since the first Liberty Loan was floated mil the war brought to their fresides where empty chairs mark the places that occupied by men now fin some branch of the service.
 The second loan is being made and there are multitude of reasons for subscribing It is cer- tanly better to subscribe the loan than to help pay an indemnity to Germany later. It is better to subscribe to the loan and win with the decisive advantages that will come with victory. than to fight indecisve and pay the cost of it. with nothing gained.
 But there considerations that strike nearer home than these, though they immensely i'm portant.
 Every home that has sent the front everey man who has friend in the service, every American who loves his fellowcountrymen should subscribe for the loan in order to back up the who have put the uniform. Their comfort. their safety. their lives and the victory they win for the people who do not go. all depend upon the perfection and completeness of their equipment. and money must be had to buy that equipment
 In the official literature the Government has spoken of the loan victory insurance" Finan cal support for the is victory insurance because 1t strengthens the hands of the the brothers and the friends who going away to fight

Wickersham papers in Alaska, which support ing Gov. Strong for reappoinment, constantly refer 10 the Democratic Machine in Alaska, and in man. suggesting it oprobus term.
 The Empire believes the term is one of honor It believes it is fine thing that the Demo- cratic party in Alaska is organized in that the party give expression to its convictions through it's machinery It believes it is fine thing that the who have been chosen to act for the Democratic party in Alaska work together in har- money It believes it is fine thing that the party is organized that it's representatives har- monious that they be called machine" For that is what man machine is. It is harmony. It is lack of friction. It is cooperation.
 'The Democratic Machine" could only be term of approbium If the principles and policies and for whom the organization stand opprobrious
 What the facts?
 The Democratic organization in Alaska stands for President Wilson, the greatest President the country has had since Lincoln and the great Demo cratic party of which he is the leader. It stands for the leader of democracy in world crisis It stands for the party that called him to command it and to be the head of the Nation It stands for the record of his administration. It stands for the great domestic reforms he has nauguraed and the efficiency he has displayed It is endeavoring to give life to his principles, the principles Jeffer- son. the principals of Jackson, the principles of Lin coln in Alaska, and to bring about their application in this Territory It is endeavoring to make the party of Wilson an active, virile cooperative and harmonious force in this Territory for the advance ment of Alaska along the lines that President Wilson is steering the Nation. It is working harmonious ly toward these ends that it may appropriately be called machine"
 And The Empire says to the whole Wickersham outfit to Gov. Strong and the handful of agitators who fighting it, it takes great deal of pleasure in giving support to such machine
