We believe, however, that the men who have | administered the city's affairs for the past year have i done a good job. We believe, too. that Mayor Hendrick- son deserves and may need the support, during the vice Te8Ident | coming year, of the men who have served with him for Managing Editor | the last year and who are familiar with the city’s cur- srieor e l’ rent program. "‘"flr‘ However, there are good and capable men—and onth: | a woman—running for the city counci, too. It is our hope that the voters of Juneau will choose the best possible people for the job. We believe, too, that a change in election regu- lations should be made to provide for the election of councilmen for two-year terms, with three councilmen to be elected every year. Thus, the council would always have three holdover —familiar with administration problems and municipal projects still in progress.

The municipal election will be held in Juneml. bidisce e tomorrow. It will again, tomorrow, become our duty and privilege to choose the men who will administer | the affairs of our city. And upon the choice we make will depend the quality of our civil government. The right of the ballot carries with it an obliga- tion. We live in one of the few remaining countries governed by consent of the governed. We are em- powered by the ballot to select our public servants and because we have this power, we are under moral compulsion to use it — and to use it wisely. When citizens fail to exercise their franchise they contribute to the decay of the voting system. An election is designed to express the will of all the people. However, it can record no more than the will of those who vote.

Actually the total amount kicked back is nearer $10,000. The amazing thing is the Con- gressman’s explanation that the money was contributed to the Re- publican committee in Ohio, be- cause such a contribution is a viola- tion of the corrupt practices act. Money paid to a Congressman for clerical hire is paid by the tax- payers to help him serve his con- stituents back home and operate his office efficiently. It is not paid him for his personal use or to help out any campaign fund or party treasury. It will be interesting to see what if anything, the Justice Depart- ment does with this one.
