.C, OF [, APPEALS FOR
 UNEMPLOYMENT AID

In an effort to secure relief for local unemployment and destitution through the relief powers vested in the Recon struction Finance Corporation, the Hyder Chamber of Com merce has petitioned Governor George A. Parks to take cog nizance of the fact that a few thousand dollars expended on the Salmon River flood control project at this time would pro-. vide sufficient employment for virtually all local laborers to carry them through the coming winter; assist in sustaining To- cal business during the same period, and also further rer move the danger of flood dam age from the notwithstanding vagaries of Salmon River.
 The petition points out that the Hyder district, as a result of the decadence of silver min ing, has felt the effects of the great depression more than any other section of Alaska; that there have been practically no opportunities for labor during the past year, aside from small amount of road mainte- mace work, with the result that there are now a considerable number who are close to or actually in destitute circum- stances and facing desperate straits during the coming win ter, when virtually all employ ment activities are suspended.
 The petition recites further that Hyder citizens and partic- ularly the business interests are totally unable to extend ade- quate assistance to the needy, the latter having already de-
 pleted their stocks to the low
 est point at which business can
 be continued, as a result of gen.
 erous credit extensions to those
 who have been unable to earn a living and declares that un- less there is some early devel-
 opment which will relieve this situation, not alone are the lob- bring elements facing actual : starvation but virtually every : business house in the camp IS ] confronted with the prospect of either discontinuing bushes: or becoming bankrupt.
 } Continuing, the petition says "This Chamber has been ant still is in entire agreement witt the view that each communit! ) should care for it's own unem
 ployed and destitute, but con ;. ditions have now reached . stage where virtually nothing f can be done in that direction |, and we are compelled to seel !, outside assistance. We are

THREE PERISH IN
 LOCAL AUTO TRAGEDY

 in Portland Canal and George Neysmith, husband of Mrs. Neysmith was killed by shock, when the 7-passenger car in which they were returning from Stewart after attending a dance given in honor of the crew of H. M. s. Delhi, visiting British warship, ran off the Stewart-Hyder road short distance north of the Craw- ford dock at 2:15 D. m. last Saturday night.
 According to evidence pre- sented at coroner's inquests held in Stewart, the accident occurred when the car, driven by Andy Scott, with MT. and Mrs. Neysmith and MT. and Mrs. Mowatt as passengers, was proceeding southward on the highway at a speed of about 12 miles per hour and after colliding with the Camp bell & Duke truck, which was parked with lights dimmed on the outer edge of the road awaiting the passage of num- Der of cars coming from Stew art. After striking the truck, Scott, who appears to have been on the wrong side of the road, apparently lost control of the car, which ran off the ele- vated edge of the highway a few rods farther on and fell approximately 25 feet, striking the out-jutting rocks below with terrific force before plunging into the chill waters Ot the Canal.
 On hitting the rocks the car was completely wrecked and the occupants were thrown into the water while the shattered remains of the car plunged into some 30 feet of water at the base of the steep declivity.
 Although considerable number of people were in close proximity to the scene, owing to the darkness, no one wit messed the accident, which did not become known until the cries of the cars occupants broke on the midnight air.
 Although many contrary stories have been circulated from the testimony given be fore the coroner's jury, it ap pears that Mrs. Mowatt anC MT. Scott were thrown into the water only few feet iron shore and swam to the rocks where they were pulled ashor' by Petty Officer William Wey man of the Delhi crew and sev eral sailors whp had scramb led down the rocks in respons to the calls for help.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE
 FOR HESSE

1 He is one of the oldtimers of this town and the second division, end bears a splendid reputation as a surveyor and private citizen.
 ? Since his election to the off flee of Highway Engineer, he has been more than favorable to the interests of this division. The com pletion of the Sunset road this past summer is largely due to his efforts. And it was fortunate we had him in Juneau when the road transfer took place, to safeguard our interests.
 He knows every section of our division by actual experience of a number of years residence in Nome.
 4 A vote for Wm. A. Hesse is vote for man we know. A man of honesty, efficiency and capability.

TO USE ROTARY BALLOT
 NOV. 8th ELECTION

Obviously designed to prevent bloc voting by illiterate groups, the rotary ballot will be used in Alaska for the first time at the coming general election.
 A law providing for the rotary ballot was passed by the last leg islature.
 The stencil system, whereby it is alleged those unable to read but amenable to dictates of political leaders were conveniently furnish ed with a stencil which placed ov- CT the ballot would insure votes being cast for candidates favored by the leaders, will have to be abandoned with the rotary ballot.
 The rotary ballot is simple in principle. Just how it works is;
 Ballot No. 1 lists the candidates in alphabetical order.
 In ballot No. 2 the position of the names is changed. Wickersham goes ahead of Dimond, and Paui's name drops to the bottom of the column for attorney, Rustgard's goes to the top and Truitt's goes up to center position. This con- tinues On down the ballot. This change is made in every official ballot.
 A voter will have no means of knowing what position the names will be on the ballot he received and consequently he must be lit crate to tell for whom he is voting.

LOCAL NEWS
GENERAL ELECTION TUESDAY

Next Tuesday, November Sth, will take place the general cleo tion throughout Alaska and the United States. This being presi- dential election year. the interest is more intense than the usual elections. Great efforts are being made in the States to bring out one of the biggest votes ever cast and the same spirit should be ex- pected of the voters in Alaska, and especially in Nome.
 If our citizenry fails to go to the ballot box and vote, they have very little right to feel aggrieved that certain other candidates were not elected. who in their opinion were better men and more entitled to represent them. We feel it our duty to urge every citizen who is entitled to vote, to do his or her duty, a privilege granted only thru citizenry, to vote for men to make or alter the laws under which we live. We have no desire to sug- gest how you shall vote, but please vote! Never mind what your ideas may be, it is only by voting that you may give expression to your own opinion.
 It may be all very well and true that the candidate whom you fav- Or has no possible show of election but that is no reason why you should note vote.
 In the Second Division there are republicans and democrats seeking office, the names and of fees for which they are candidaL- es, will be found on page three of this issue in the Sample Ballot form printed therein. As the can didates are well known to the voters of this section of Alaska, it would seem to us unnecessary to tell of their good qualities and etc. The candidates have sent lit erature to practically every voter and it will be up to you MT. and Mrs. Voter to decide by your bal lot next Tuesday, who is going to be elected to represent you it Juneau and at Washington. "
 You -wss4l notice by the ball6c that you can vote your preference for Governor, but that is all i, amounts to, an expression of the citizens of Alaska.
 You are also expected to write in the names of two Road Commits sioners for Road District No. Two. The rest of the ballot explains how many candidates you can vote for under the headings. The Mug get will receive election bulletins from the states as well as Alaska from Tuesday until the results are ascertained. It is our task to fol- low and compile and print the results for the general public. II you are not already a subscriber We would be glad to enroll your name on our subscription books.

LACK Of VOTE HIT
BY STUDENT EDITOR
Article in American U. Pub
LEGATION AssaiIs "Undemo-
cratic Situation"

Sharp criticism for the voteless plgnt
of the Washingtonian comes from youth
at American University, through an eol-
torial in the American Eagle, student
publication, of which the editor Is EDWIN
A Ross, a native WaShingtonian.
Discussing the subject under the tltle
of Taxation Without Representation,
the Eagle says, THE Bicentennlal cele-
bration of the birthday of George WASH
ington is a bitter reminder to nearly
half of our students who are residents
of the District of Columbia OF our IN
ability to participate in the aHalrs OF
our country.
Not only are we unable to vote de-
clareS the editorial, but we nave no
representation in Congress, yet In que
time we shall pay taxes as the legS-
lators direct.
rs taxation without representation
no longer tyranny? Shall the citizens
of the Capital of democratic Nation
be denied the rights of active citizen
ship? Shall nearly half million peo-
pie, a larger population than eight OF
the States, allow themselves to remain
disfranchised and unrepreSented?
Fortunately, many patriotic and splr-
tied leaders in Washington are STRIVING
zealously to give our city the right OF
suffrage and representation. 1t IS sur
prising how few persons outside OF
Washington realize that we are vote
less. AS residents of the District OF Co
lumbia and as citizens of the United
States we should rebel against this I'M
democratic situation and insist upon our
rights as American citizens"
