Easy to Incar Easy to Disperse Accumulated DEBTS—are they an annoying spector continually disturb- ing your peace of mind? Did attractive offers of “installment buying" cause you to inadverently as- sume more obligations than your in- come justified? It is said that many people who ac- quire things that make life more en- joyable do so under installment buy- ing plans. And to the honest person who is in debt and does not wish to defraud anyone, what could be more enjoy- able than to get out of debt? Why not employ the same principle? “Pooled Account Plan” Installment Paying ... It is an easy, simplified procedure by which all debts can be dispersed, while working no hardship on the debtor whose earnest wish is to dissi- pate all debts and once again enjoy privileges of an established credit rating. Under the “POOLED ACCOUNT PLAN” you provide us with a list of amounts on all past due accounts, we arrange with your creditors to - pool their accounts and appoint us as trustee. With your consent, and honest as- surance that you will abide by the agreement, we determine just how much you can afford to apply each month on your debts, allowing yeu suf- ficient for current expenses, and we make regular payments on accounts held against you. Simple and easy as dawn and dark, and just as certain. You will be amazed at the remarkably short time required to clear up all bothersome debts. : Alaska Credit Bureau Charles Waynor, Manager First National Bank Bldg. (Ground Floor) PHONE 28 ALASKANS!

Furs increased price 35 to 50% average from 1933 to 1936 Republicans Failed Alaskans Under Republican leadership and domination, Alaskan industries declined, Alaskan products decreased in valle, | and incomes and wages of Alaskans toboganned. Fishermen | and miners were thrown out of employment, resulting in | widespread suffering and want. Only the strongest com- | panies survived and they went on starvation diet. | Democrats Gave Hope, Help, | Development, Recovery Under the policies proclaimed by President Roosevelt {and enacted into law by Democratic Congresses there has been a steady and consistent improvement in both fisheries and mining industries. Raising the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce |has not only benefited going mines, but it has brought {new properties into operation and stimulated prospecting to its greatest height in two decades. It has increased em- ployment and resulted in higher wages to miners, and will | continue to develop the country. { Copper mining, forced to shut down completely under | the Republican regime, has been resumed on a substantial | scale. So, too, with tin mining. Tin City, north of Nome, which became a Ghost Town under the Republicans, is now a beehive of activity. Silver, thrown away because it didn’'t pay refined, is again being mined at a profit. Millions of dollars have been added to Alaska’s income from increased industrial returns. The following figures relative to deposits in banks, reflect the increased earnings of Alaskans. to have it Alaska 1933 $ 9,668,000.00 1934 10,800,000.00 1935 11,638,000.00 1936 . 13,787 000 00 AN "AI.ASKA CONSCIOUS" ADMINISTRATION JOBS FOR THE JOBLESS— RELIEF FOR THE DISTRESSED Between June 30, 1935 and July 10, 1936, the total of $4,739,831 was allotted to Alaska by President Roosevelt out of the Emergency Appropriation Act of 1935. From the time he took office up to November 1, 1935, six and three quarter million dollars in emergency funds were allotted to Alaska and hundreds of thousands of dol- lars have been added to this since that time. Out of these funds the unemployed have been given jobs on useful public works, the unemployables fed and clotheu and many facilities and conveniences added to our towns and villages. Many miles of highways, airplane fields, streets, sidewalks, sewers, waterworks, hydro-electric power plants, public buildings including the Pioneers’ Home, Territorial schools, city halls, playgrounds, parks and other projects haye been financed with outright grants or loans and grants from this vast sum. The famous Palmer coloni- zation. project was initiated, the first step in orderly agri- cultural development in' interior Alaska. Thus in Alaska, the Democratic Administration under President Roosevelt’s leadership, carried out its pledge that no person should go hungry and that jobs would be provided for those who wanted to work. This is a continuing promise and until sueh time as private industry and the Territory itself can take care of Alaskans, they can be assured that.this Administration will not see them suffer from want and distress such as pre- vailed before it came into power in March 1933. ¢ “LET'S LOOK AT THE RECORD" DEMOCRATIC PERFORMANCE— HIGHLIGHTS OF ROOSEVELT’S SCORE OF ACTION Banking Crisis The restoration of public confidence through the bank- | ing holiday which stopped the sweep of bank Tallures | in which millions of the savings were being wiped out, | was one of the outstanding, courageous achievements of Mr. Roosevelt’s entire administration, In the Coolidge ! administration 533 banks failed. In the Hoover | Administration during four years, 1,035 banks falled; in three years of the Franklin, D. Roosevelt Adminis- 4 tration. only eight banks failed.

Speedy and Sure Farm Relief The AAA was the first practical government ald ever extended to farmers. Under AAA, cash farm income increased 2% billion dollars in three years. The SCA @ wili continue to help the farmer. Republicans repudiated their party promises to restore farm prices. REFORMS: President Roosevelt is the only president since Andrew Jackson who has done anything to take away the special privileges that a relatively small group of the extremely powerful and wealthy have built up. In curbing these special and inherited privileges, opportunities for the work- ing man and the average business man and smaller indus- trialist has been greatly widened, and his position made more secure. THE ONLY WAY FOR ALASKANS TO EXPRESS THEIR RECOGNITION OF AN ADMINISTRA- TION THAT HAS DONE MORE FOR THIS TER- RITORY AND WILL CONPINUE ITS POLICY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NOT ONLY THE VAST NATURAL RESOURCES BUT THROUGH ARMY AND NAVY BASES IS TO VOTE THE DEMO- CRATIC TICKET STRAIGHT! NOTE: Because the Territorial elections are earlier than the national ones it is MOST IMPORTANT that Alaska which has benefited so MUCH by the NEW DEAL go strongly Democratic. A Democratic Vote in Alaska 1s actually a vote for President Roosevelt, because of the psychological effect it will have over the rest of the country. Put Your Trust in Acts and chc:sl RE-ELECT DIMOND ON HIS RECORD Since he went to Congress in 1932 as Alaska’s Delegate, pledging first of all to work for Home Rule, his record has been unexcelled Four major steps have been taken by him toward that goal in addition to the more than 50 bills he has put through and the many more pending: 1—An amendment to the Organic Act enabling the Alaska Legislature to control elections and fix the date for Legislative sessions. 2.—An amendment to the Organic Act authorizing the Legislature to control and regulate the manufacture and sale of liquors. 3.—Legislation authorizing the Legislature to pass laws regarding location of mining claims and repealing Federal Acts on that subject. 4.—An amendment to the Organic Act empowering in- corporated cities to issue municipal bonds for public im- proverents without first obtaining Congressional sanction. Pending measures to give to the Legislature power to control the fish, fur and game resources of Alaska and abolition of fish traps. Other legislation obtained by him include: Authority for Juneau, Douglas, Wrangell, Skagway, Petersburg, Anchorage, Seward, Valdex, Nome, Fairbanks and Cordova to isste bonds for public improvements. Legislation opening the famous Glacier Bay Area -for prospecting and mining. This area had been closed to Alaskans and others under executive order of Republican President Coolidge. Legislation giving employees of the Alaska Railroad the same pension retirement benefits as those accorded to similar workers in the Canal Zone, the highest government pension scale. Previous Republican administrations had refused to approve similar-proposed legislation: Laws extending Federal aid Acts for education in Alas- ka; extending citizenship to Metlakatla Indians; authorizing Thiihget and Haida Indians to bring suit against the Unitetl sum Court of Claims; removing protection from. sea.lions, waters; liberaljzing the five-acre uw empowering the Interior Department fq ‘a pay for education of Indians in Territorial sch repesl of Alaska Bone Dry Law; giving Alaska the ma of - the present Pioneers’ Home n Bitka; to survey and estimates of probable cost of constructing International Highway; appropriating $25,000 for airmail contracts, and large number of private bills. o 02 VRIS A AR R A 00 e P 5 e o COLISEUM THEATRE WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOUR Delegate “Tony” Dimond, is a modest man, and will not tell you some of the most im- portant facts about his work in Washington and Congress which many Alaskans who have visfted him there know and appreciate. Those who have seen him work there know that in the past three years he has won the recognition and respect of his, colleagues in Congress through his untiri consistent and intelligent efforts in the cauie“z Alaska. As all voters know, Alaska, as a Territory has np vote in'Congress, yet without this power Dele- gate Dimond has through his ability gained such respect and friendship. among powerful ‘congress- men and senators that his many bills were given every consideration and aid in getting them passed. Delegate Dimond has built up many excelient contacts in the many administrative departments that deal with Alaskan matters and has done most effective work for the Territory through these contacts, Several high officials have said to Alaskans, “Dimond has put Alaska on the map in Wash- ington.” The volume of beneficial legislation that has passed Congress for Alaska during the past two sessions adequately demonstrate this statement. Delegate Dimond has made himself invaluable to the Territory of Alaska in Congress. Every Alaskan should appreciate this fact, and vote for him in the coming elections, as a vote for Dimond is a vote for the continued progress, develooment and prosperity of this great Territory. THE TERRITORIAL TICKET FRANK A. BOYLE FRANK A. BOYLE, just ending his first term as Terri- torial Auditor, is seeking reelection on the merit of his record in office. Despite the fact that the work of his office was about 40 per cent heavier than in his predecessor’s last term, he reduced operating expenses by almost $7,000, about 25 per cent. Revenues of the office increased about 20 per cent. As secretary of the Pioneers’ Home Building Commis- sion, he handled calling for bids and all correspondence in that connection and purchased all the furniture for the new Home. He has also served efficiently and capably as membex and secretary of the Board of Administration, Laws Revision Board, Board of Liquor Control and member of the Banking Board. He has assisted in the preparation of many bills intro- duced in the Legislature in 1933 and 1935. At all times his office has readily aided the public with information at its disposal. JAMES S. TRUITT JAMES S. TRUITT, candidate for reelection as Attor- ney General, has given loyal, faithful and effective legal service to his clients, the people of Alaska, during his first terrm. The record is clear-cut and convincing. In every suit in which he has represented the Territory, either as plaintiff or defendant, NOT ONE HAS BEEN LOS1 nor has the Territory been requested to pay costs on account thereof In successfully defending tax suits he saved Alaska hundreds of thousands of dollars and established the right and authority of the Legislature to protect local labor against non-residents. He also successfully defended our system of Old Age, Mothers’ and Dependent Children's Allowances against a legal attack which if it had prevailed would have closed the Pioneers’ Home and stopped all payment of Territorial funds to the aged, widows and helpless little orphan children. He has served diligently as member of the Board of Administration, Pioneers’ Home Building Commission, Board of Law Examiner, Board of Claims and devoted freely of his time in gathering information regarding needed legisia- tion, as well as preparing measures for the Legislature, WILLIAM A. HESSE WILLIAM A. HESSE, seeking reelection as Highway Engiueer, has served Alaskans in that capacity singe 1930, glving them an efficient and sympathetic administration, Under his supervision, the Territorial road system has ex- panded and a fine system of airplane landing fields been developed. He has made a close study of road needs in all sections of Alaska and through him many districts have been given needed roads and trails within the limits of legislative ap- propriations ayailableé. As Chairman of the Pioneers’ Home Building. Com- mission, Mr. Hesse took a leading part in the construction of the new Pioneers’ Home, one of the finest institutions of it# kind in ‘the entire West. He has served, also, with distinction on other Territorial Boards, ‘representing, without prejudice all parts of the Territory alike. He has proved his fitness, both from a technical and ‘an administrative standpoint for the position he fills. He is surpassed by none in his knowledge of con- ditions and people of Alaska and ideally equipped to cope with their problems of road buiiding and kmdred develop- ment.
