ernor Of Illinois has been chal-
lenged and he has failed to an
swer the challenge. His claim
that he reduced the tax for the
people of the state has been de-
clared false, rather that he reduc-
ed the tax for corporations in
stead of for the people, and he has
not given proof to show this un-
true.
Leonard Wood has shown the
ability to handle great emergen-
cies, as the Gary strike, the Kan
sas City situation and the work
which prepared the way for the
selective draft system during the
war.
Frank Lowden's administrative
record is limited to the guberna-
torial chair of Illinois and as the
director Of one or more of the
large corporations in Chicago.
Leonard Wood is a military
man, having served as a surgeon
and doctor for some years, but is
not a West Point man or a regu-
larly trained army officer.
Frank Lowden was given COM
mission as an honorary Colonel in
the National Guard but has not
served in any military capacity
Leonard Wood is not a farmer,

ONE OF THE glazing charac-
teristics of the Nonpartisan news
papers is their evident desire to
pick on someone. Every one of
the sheets that come to our ex-
change table, the Sisseton, Web
ster, Groton, Huron and Milbank
propaganda vendors have their
squabble. We have u suspicion
that the editors of them have
been instructed by the "home Of
flee" to amuse their subscribers
in that way. and keep them from
thinking too much. Reminds one
of the little yellow dog with the
loud bark, yapping and swapping
at ones heels, annoying, but that
is all. And you've all heard that
an empty wagon makes the most
noise.

WE ARE ASSURED of a build
ing association for Milbank. The
final touches to the organization
are to be made this week and &C
ton started as soon as the wealth
er will permit. We have heard
some comment on the matter, pes
simistically prophesying its fail
ure and if it didn't fail ut never
would do nothing" Like the
poor, we seem to have with US al
ways that breed Of human beings
which take a particular delight in
obstruction. What if this organ
ization fails to build but one
house this summer or is only able
to get the foundation for one laid,
they have accomplished far more
by doing that than had they not
tried. Their evident desire to do
something should be taken At
more than par value. Their &C.
ton in starting something for the
good Of the city should be herald
ed from the housetops, if neces-
sary. It shows that spirit Of CO.
operation and realization of the
pressing needs Of our city and the
ambition to grasp the o~pportuni-
ties which are awaiting, which are
but the first flame of the Are Of
action which is bound to come. II
it only serves to awaken the citi-
zens of the city and the county to.
the possibilities it will fulfill its
mission a hundred fold. However
we hope that the knocks OF the
knockers and the opposition Of the
pessimist will only serve to double
the ambition and strengthen the
purpose Of every.man determined
to see this city grow and prosper
as it has the opportunity to do
now.

81 l firmly believe that the irksome war taxes which re-
tard trade and prosperity and make life a burden for the
small business man, farmer and householder should be
spread over a longer term of years. 1t is not fair that the
people who worked and fought to save America for poster
ity should have to pay ALL the bills, too.
Legitimate business in cities, towns and villages should
be encouraged and protected in every way possible to
afford industries and labor alike every chance for expansion.
81 believe in a tariff, wherever needed, to encourage home
industries and provide work for our own people first.
81 do not believe in cutting taxes on corporations and
loading them on the individual. | believe, however, in an
adequate system which will allow big business, small bust
ness, the farmer and the salaried man to pay his absolutely
fair proportion OF the expenses OF government.
ITO save your money, l advocate the budget system by
which the expenses Of the nations departments will be
determined in advance, and the departments risidly made
to stay within the limit Of those appropriations. -

NOTES FROM THE
 uMALAKlEET SECTION

where he will take charge of the gov- ernment radio during the open season Owing to high water. he was compell. ed to lay over here on day.
 Jas and Harold Stokes also arrived the same day and. like Jorgensen, were forced to lay over one day.
 Andrew Olson and party arrived April a5th enroute to the mouth of tho Yukon. After resting through the heat of the day they continued on- ward.
 Arthur Brooker and Emil Iasseu arrived on the following day and left for their fishing camp at the mouth of the Yukon on the 27th.
 The day of the primaries came and pa ssed as there were no heated partl- san debates to mark the occasion. Two of the election judges failed to ma terialize and one solitary judge who showed up had to stay on the job until late in the afternoon before enough bonafide citizens gathered to consti- tutc a minority and majority. Tho judge waited but the harmony of the polling place was not marred by either the representatives of business. labor, the church or of the medicine. Just before the polls closed. the judges cast their votes. two straight republicans and one straight democrat. It would not do to cast three straight votes for either party. as 1t might appear that one of the parties had too much in- finence CD.
 The writer labors under the impress sion that the right to vote was con- firmed thru n baptism of blood and Is therefore. one not to be lightly con. sidered or dishonorably used. If rightly used will help in a measure .o solve the problems that confront and vex us. Those who have the privilege of its use and fail to do so may prate about higher culture. inefficiency of elective officials. necessity for better laws. justice, the lurid beauty of Soc ialism and the primordial brutality of Bolshevism as much as they will but, withal, be not a progressive element in the land they claim to love.

Unalakleet, April 24, 1920

Unalakleet. April 2i. 1920 Charles Carlson and Fred Webster both of whom recently came in from the Outside. arrived from St Michael on the 18th for short visit. Readers of the Nugget may recall that the two
 men went to the Outside last fall as passengers on the steamship Cordova and shared in all the joys and pleas- ures that befell her passengers on that memorable trip. After attending to
 business matters in which they are in lterested, they returned over the winter trail taking enroute the new quartz
 strike and great deal of the country from the coast to Mckinley. From the latter point they again journeyed to the coast at the mouth of the Kus-
 kokwim river and then proceeded to St Michael.
 Carlson, commenting on the trip
 shortly after his arrival here, said:
 Notwithstanding the fact that
 Wal. born in Alaska and have lived
 hefr the greater part of my life the
 immcnsity of the country l have re- gently travelled oyer and it's actually visible potential wealth have stagger-
 ed my ina sination.
 Why, said Charlie. there is enough gold in evidence in that new
 quartz strike to pay the war debt of Uncle sam and then some. And that is only the beginning of the wealth
 which in less than generation will
 be developed.
 'If". he added. some of the croak .
 CTS who claim Alaska is dead would only get out and do a little 'rubbering'
 on their own account. they would and could tell the truth about Alaska. in . stead of knocking"
 Casey and Ewart two members of
 the infantry detachment stationed at
 St Michael. had their initial exper- fence on the trail in a recent trip here. We heard they had an exciting en-
 counter with polar bear that was
 chasing walrus on the ice but they Lwere rather reticent about their hair raising adventure and details could not be learned.

 Instead of decreasing, the influenza cases in Juneau have been increas sing slightly the past few days. and there is serious talk that it may be neces- sary to take official action again to stop a further spread.
 There are now about so cases h the city. The warnings of the phy- sieians and city officials to keep away from public meetings as much as possible. and not attend theatres when suffering with colds. seems to have been unable to wholly check the dis lease.
