The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- | yorit in New Deal policies, but Mr. McCain has told | wise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein TALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TQ, BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | G. 0. P. NIBBLE-PHR/ 5 IN LIEU J OF A CONCRETE PROGRAM | It is an old political trick when concrete facts are lacking to make a general indictment and promise everything, veering as far as possible from definite| information. It is the kind of strategy that is being| used this season by the Republican party from the| national setup down to dog catcher in Sleepy Hollow. | We see it in full array in Alaska where several an-} ritorial offices and legislative posts are at stake. Gen-| eralities, nibble-phrasing, inneundos—all these take| the place of facts; because, of course, the facts are| lacking in the Republican ranks, and they are obliged | to use something for campaign fodder. | But to the everlasting credit of some of the Re-i publicans in the Territory, they do admit benefits| under the Roosevelt Administration when quesuonedi Take for McCain of | Ketchikan, who is seeking the office of Attorney Gen-| eral on the G. O. P. ticket. Mr. McCain very frankly | states, in an interview appearing in yesterday's Em-‘: pire, that the boost in the price of gold, instituted by | the Roosevelt Administration, is without doubt one! of the major factors in reviving the mining industry | in the Territory. Then he goes on to point with an“ enthusiastic degree of pride to the fact that Ket-i chikan is having great success with its municipal- owned power plant and telephone system. He quotes figures which are worth any one's time to read on| just how the new setup is working out. | It is a liftle far away'for’ those of us in Alaska to see just how the Tennessee Valley Authority is work- | ing out under the Roosevelt program in the south, | but when Mr. McCain brings it home to us with the ! typical example at Ketchikan we can more readily| understand what TVA is doing. The Ketchikan plan is exactly the same program TVA is carrying out in the south—public-owned power plants to give the consumer electric energy at the least possible cost while promoting industrial development Naturally, Mr. McCain could not be too lenient with the New Deal, so he reverts to the old trick of specifically. example, Harry ‘are too many carpetbaggers, relatives and pink-washed | Republicans in office.” [ It must be admitted as a colorful sentence, but what does it mean? A carpetbagger, of course, is { assumed to be an individual who comes from the Out- side to a lucrative public post in Alaska. But can Mr. McCain be assuming that Judge Truitt, his op- is a carpetbagger? Are Governor Troy, Frank Boyle, | of course'not, and Mr. McCain would be The last man 0 say so. Relatives, naturally, are what virtually every man, woman and child has, so Mr. McCain didn't mean anything special by that word. “But what in heck is a “pink-washed Republican?” It may be assumed to be a Republican who sees some us he believes that the Roosevelt boost in the gold price is a fine thing and public ownership of public utilities as practiced n Ketchkan and in the Ten- nessee Valley is a proven success. But we are con- vinced Harry is not a “pink-washed Republican.” The answer, of course, is generalities; blanket in- dictment due tb the lack of facts and a goncrete pro- gram for constructive improvement. And while Mr. McCain talks about “pink-washed Republicans” it is interesting to turn to the record of his opponent, Judge James S. Truitt. The Attor- ney General does not have to dwell on words that leave the voter baffled. He has only to point to his |record in office, an administrative one, by the way, for the abnormal enlargement of and not a legislative post. When Judge Truitt assumed the duties of the !office of Attorney General of Alaska, March 1933, a | delinquent tax roll was presented of approximately $200,000, a part of which was delinquent for four | years or more. The Judge set about reducing that roll and has been successful, through suits, persistent for- mal demands and settlements out of court, in reducing the tax roll to a minimum and in replenishing the Territorial Treasury in the approximate sum of $300,- 000, which amount also includes escheats. At lhe‘ present time, there are three escheat suits pending | and one to be filed, representing in all about $12,000. Of the many suits in which the Territory hnsl been either plaintiff or defendant, during Mr. Truitt’s term of office, not one has been lost, nor has the Territory been required to pay costs on account thereof. Immediately after the 1933 Session of the Terri- torial Legislature, an attempt was made by some 11,500 non-resident fishermen (residing in California) | to invalidate and declare unconstitutional our license taxing statute. By an injunction suit these non-resi- dent fishermen sought to prohibit the Territorial‘ Treasurer from collecting this non-resident tax, or, if collected prior to the settlement of the case, from paying out the taxes, which sum amounted, under the Statute, to more than $137,000. That case was tried and won, the non-residents appealed it and the Territory won again, thus validating the Statute, re- taining the money collected, and making it ebligatory for all non-resident fishermen to pay in accordance with the requirements or be prosecuted. Had the plaintiffs been successful in that case, the Territory would have been required to grant to all non-resident ! fishermen the same privileges now granted to resident fishermen. Another suit was filed to enjoin the Territorial Treasurer from paying out of the Treasury, the sum of $340,000 appropriated by the 1933 Session for the benefit of the Pioneers’ Home, widows, orphans and indigents. That case was won in the District Court, was appealed and was again won by the Territory. Had the Territory lost that case, the doors of the Pioneers’ Home would have been closed, the payments to Pioneers, mothers, widows, children, aged and indi- gents would have been forbidden. These are facts as revealed in the record. No generalities, nor pithy phrases to camouflage the issue there. What a contrast with the wordy general in- dictment which we find coming /from (Republican a blanket indictment with the assertion that “there| sources, for lack of a concrete and definite program.
