WRANGELL SCHOOL SITUATION
 DEVELOPING INTO AN ISSUE
Voters Will Be Given Opportunity to Decide the Question of Bonding the Town Soon Congress
 Gives It's Sanction to Such a Procedure

, neal" a little section at a time with additionals as funds warrant tor necessity demands) without bonding; or whether it should be put up as a single unit by con- tract under competitive bidding, and the cost covered by bonds which will distribute the burden over a period of fifteen or twenty years. so that the expense may be borne by all who reap the benefit. All progressive communities now recog- nize the economy and good sense of financing public Improvements by bonds. In other words if the town doubles in size in the next ten or fifteen years, as it probably will, do you favor letting the other fel- low help pay for the opportunities the town offers?
 The cost of a S45,000 school plant on. twenty year per cent bond basis, paying off one-twentieth the principal each year and keeping up the interest, even though the valuation of the town did not in crease a single dollar, would hardly be felt by anyone. To the taxpayer who owns 5000 worth of property. assuming the assessed valuation at three-fourths the actual value of property, the cost would amount to only 18b cents per week for the first year and would diminish grad ually to 816 cents per week for the last year of the twenty. Should the valuation of the town increase in the meantime the rate of taxes would be approximately less. Two thousand dollars is taken as probably representing about the av- craze valuation of homes in Wran- gell.
 Do you as a citizen and taxpayer of Wrangell favor the erection of new, modern school plant which will be a credit to a progressive community, or do you favor build ing a few rooms at a time by heav- fly increased taxes, only to be com pelled to build and patch and add to biennially at almost double con struction costs? The idea was ex- pressed recently in a meeting of the City Council that the identical building constructed in three separ- ate units at different times would cost 40 per cent more than to con- struct the building at one time, un- der contract

THE GUGGENHEIMs' PRACTICE


 Guggenheim practices in bonding properties and then dropping them have brought a great deal Of un- thinking condemnation from min ing men of the Northwest. Every now and then one sees a mean dig in the mining-camp press at the famous familys method of oper- ations.
 The simple fact is that the Gug- genheim concerns are looking all the time for mining properties that can be operated on a tremendous scale That's their present-day speciality. Their organization is built for big scale operations.
 Transferring the situation to other lines, it is no more reason able to expect the Guggenheims to operate small mines than it is 10 expect Hearst to operate small-town newspapers, or the Claflins to es- tablish crossroads stores, or Ford to manufacture hand~lathed axe- handles, or Morgan to dabble in country banks.
 Because the Guggenheims have held an option OF a mine and later have dropped it is emphatieally no reflection on the value of the mine As matter of fact the merit of the proposition must have been demon strated or the Guggenheims would not have considered it at all. When the big concern pulls out it simply means that in the judgment of it's engineers the property is not sus- eeptible of operations on the scale to which the corporation is keyed.
 The Duthie mine at Smithers is being operated profitably, although the Federal Mining & Smelling Company did not care to continue it's work. Likewise the Sally at Beaverdell, which has been return ed to Ed Workman and associates, gives promise of successful opera tion with crew of 20 to 50 men where it might not be possible with 200 or more.
 The small mine with small capi- talization frequently gives greater return on the actual investment than does the large property with greater financial outlay. And that applies to other businesses as well. Ask the manufacturer, the publish CT, the merchant or the banker. They'll tell you ives" Mining Truth.

cred by railway agents i'll the east
during the summer months Il great

FOR JUDGE

Propaganda is being spread by
enemies Of Judge COnkling, urging
that he has no chance on account
Of thc primary vote. Judge .Simp-
son 5 vote Of III felt that both
Simpson and Conkiing could not be
elected, 50 few Of them voted for
Judge COnkiing. Simpson was Wig
orouslF opposed by the Conserva-
ton club. Our canvass shows that
Simpson 5 ~fricnds are turning to
Jud-" tonkiing. Most Of them vot-
cd for Judge Cole at ;nc primaries
and will continue to do 50. The
Simpson vote alone will put Conk-
ling ahead Of Finncy and Larcw.
Added to this, there is new regis
tration Of 500 voters, together with
one thousand absent voters at the
primaries on vacation, who have re-
turned. The most Of the absent vot-
cr- in August are from the places
whcrc Judge Conkliug had very
large maipriiics. II is apparent
tia, at the election next week, that
Judge Coukling will be elected. Pay
no attention TO newspaper or com
mittcc propaganda. These state
ucnts ore just as-urtruc as the con
tuually reiterated falschood that
Judge ConkliHg is opposed to the
Swing. .Joiiuson Bill.

Only of those lost billions year spent for few

Voters AND JURORS

The commissioner of jurors in New York City has
plan to make citizens vote on election day He
says he going to the lists after election pick
out those who failed to vote and put them the list
for jury duty.
That, doubt, will be dreadful penalty for many
nonvoters far than taking the trouble to
their ballots. 1t may lot of Indifferent citizens
into doing their duty election day
Whether the public will benefit greatly by it is an
other question. Having conscientious iurymen in the
courts is probably more important than dragging un-
willing citizens TO the polls. Will the administration
of justice really be furthered by putting the determna
ton of lawsuits in the hands of men and women who
think so little Of their citizenship that they won't
bother to vote?
