Traces Cannery Deal Reverting to the fact that as Alaska’s first Attorney General he had set aside an agreement made by a special attorney for the Ter- ritory which provided that none of the cannery taxes in ltigation ould be collected until the United 2s Supreme Court had finally decided the cases, and had enforced collection so that the next Legislature had the money to cover appropriations of $1,200,000, Mr. Grigsby said the canneries were not aiding in financing his cam- | paign, and that he was making it solely through the aid of his friends here and elsewhere in Alas- ka. Wickersham is the canneries friend, he asserted. He recited the history of the trap leasing bill prepared by the former and which he declared, netted Wickersham $8,- 000 and W. L. Paul $6,000. Both forbidden their Fisheries and Game Game and fur-bearing animals| were taken away from Alaska and their control vested in Congress. “If there ever was a people on earth who had a tokill game or trap beaver, it ought to be the people of Alaska” he declared warmly. |men, he added, had admitted they The most important of all Alas-|naq received those sums, but not ka’s resources, its fisheries, Was CoV- yntj] after the fact had already be- ered by another restriction on the|some public property.

He scouted Wickersham'’s defense that the money he received was for legal servics, pointing out that the canneries have attorneys they employ on an annual basis | who were paid to perform just that kind of services. He contended that $250 was an ample sum for the |legal work involved, and added with a laugh that “even Grover Winn {would have drawn it for $500. { He ridiculed the pretense that | there was any war among the hold- |ers of trap sites, and that the pub- |lic interest would have been served {by such a law. It was merely an \effort to perpetuate the present ownership of fish trap sites, he as- serted. i Caused Some Alarm | Following the expose of the deal, | just before the 1928 election, the | Metlakatla Indians revolted from the Paul leadership and went Dem- [ocrauc by a four to one vote, the |speaker pointed out. Rumors of disaffection among other clans were rife, and Judge Wickersham and | Paul, he charged, became alarmed {lest the controlled Indian bloc of | votes got away from them. So they | concocted the scheme of suing the | Federal Government for some $20,- 000,000 for alleged loss of certain rights claimed by the Indians. This |was presented to the Indian con- !vention at Haines last year and !they collected $10 a head from the | tribesmen ostensibly to finance the passage of a bill in Congress to | authorize the ! suits. That measure, he termed, pure bunk. It was in- troduced but never was reported out of committee and is dead in com- mittee today. Any disinterested lawyer, he de- clared, would readily affirm that there wasn’t any chance for enact- {ment of such a law, and Wicker-| Coffee Manning’s 41c pound GEORGE BROTHERS PHONES 92—95 Five Fast Deliveries " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, OCT. 25, 1930. “ sham and Paul knew they didn'f“ have a chance. Are Political Tricksters ' “If you vote for Judge Wicker | sham and William L. Paul | will be voting for the prettiest pair of political tricksters who. ever dis- graced a Territory,” he declared. He then traced the source of the harmony program that is only | being tried in a small part of Alas-| ka.” He quoted Judge Wickersham | as writing a letter to National Com- | mitteeman Capt. A. E. Lathrop| you | round out my career.” Sutherland,’ he added, is keeping in condition| so that when Wickersham has rounded out his career, he, himself, | can step in and continue in office until his own career is rounded| out. ! Grigsby declared he was not run-! ning for office just to round out a career; that he wanted to do some- | hing for Alaska; that if he was| elected, he would serve the people | to the best of his ability, and use| every effort to obtain legislation giving Alaskans the right to make| and enforce their own laws. 1 Refutes Jones' Biil Charge | Briefly he refuted charges made| by his opponents that he had not; opposed the Alaska discrimination | clause in the so-called Jones' bill. | He told of filing a brief against the! bill, of being refused time on the| floor to speak against it, and said | the protest he made was available to anyone interested in the files of The Empire, the brief appearing on June 17, 1920 and proof of his ef-| forts from fincontradictable sources | on October 2, 9, and 21, 1920. | He recalled to his hearers thflt' Judge Wickersham at that time, also claimed to be Delegate to Con-| gress and had an office in the House office building; was present | when the same bill came up; and| didn't voice a single objection al-| though he had the same right to do so as any other citizen. “I filed a| brief and tried to get a chance to speak against the iniquitous bill, and Wickersham didn't open his, mouth,” he asserted. Not Political Acrobats “There are no political acrobats) on the Democratic ticket. None of | us will be found jumping from one| side of the fence to the other. We will represent you faithfully and loyally as we promise,” declared ditor. to the pioneer women of Alaska and predicted some day a memor-! fal would be erected in their honor | on which should be engraved “Neyer faltered, never failed.” He refuted charges made against | him by some of the candidates on ticket relative to| legislation on women and labor.

He had not expected to go on the hustings and only the seri- ous situation produced by the al- liance induced him to do so. He urged the voters to compare both platforms, to study the can- didates and their records, their abil- ity to make and stand by decisions, then vote for the man who seemed best able to represent them in the Legislature. He pointed out that {there are many more subjects pre- sented to the Legislature than are covered by the platforms, the men elected should be. chosen for their sanity of judgment. Schoojg 1n Politics | He declared that the schools of Alaska are now in polities and called attention to the plank in the party platform pledging the legis- lative candidates to introduce and |work for a bill creating a Terri- torial Board of Education with pow- er to appoint and discharge for cause a Commissioner of Education. He called attention, also, to the pledges to obtain an absentee vot- ing law, to protect Alaska indus- | \tries and labor from outside com- petition, maintenance of the bal- anced budget,, equitable distribution of taxes and other promises. He promised, if elected, to memorialize Congress to enact legislation per- mitting fur-farmers to obtain title to their ranches, and to secure title |to summer home sites. | He referred to his service in the 1920 session of the Legislature, ‘saying none of his actions as a member and as Chairman of the |Ways and Means Committee had | been criticised to him, and prom- ised to render equally capable serv- | ice if elected to the Senate. Others Speak . Mr. Boyle said he was willing 10 let the voters of Juneau judge him with their ballots on election day. He had lived here long enough for everyone to know him, and nothing he could say would affect the vote he would recelve. He urged sup- port of the entire ticket. Mr. Sampson held out the at- tainment of Statehood as the ulti- * mate goal desired by every Alaskan This could only be achieved by ¢ first obtaining complete Home Rule v and that§through a full form of Territorial Government as pledged by the party. This, he added, is the para- mount issue of the campaign and includes most if not all of the oth- ers. P Mayor Judson, who introduced each speaker, urged upon every resident of Juneau the importance of going to the polls and voting on 4 November 4, next, and was willing to abide by their judgment. ———————— Dell E.
