8 . 2 ADDITIONAL | LETTER BOXES ARE INSTALLED Juneau IS Becommg iYlore | Metropolitan in U. S. Mail Service Juneau is bnrnmmyz more metro-| politan, in many respects, day, and especially of mail service. First, post were established day by office Then a green letter box was in- stalled at the corner of Seward and Front, at the Juneau Drug Com- pany. | Today, Postmaster Albert Wile| announced the placing of two more | letter boxes, one in front of the Butler-Mauro Drug Company's store and the other on the corner at the front of the Leader Department Store, Ferry Way and South Frank- lin Street. Mail collectipns, according to Postmaster Albert Wile, are made twice daily, at 2 o'clock in the af-| ternoon and 11 o'clock in the even- ing, also one hour before the de- parture of any mail steamer, west, north or southbound. Postmaster Wile also announces that notwithstanding erroneous re- ports, the mail at the Juneau Post Office is never closed until one hour before a steamer is scheduled to sail. One hour gives the mail clerks opportunity to stamp, tie-up and deliver the mail to the mail truck. Many persons rush in during the last 15 minutes and register a kick, if the mail is not taken—but the truck has left, the mail has been signed for by the mail clerk on the steamer and it is just too bad they are late when they have known per- haps for days just when a steamer is sailing. The best way then is to take the late letter and mail it in the bag at the gangplank of the steamer. ARMY OFFICERS TAKE AUTO JOURNEY TODAY Col. W. A. Danielson, Major O G. Trunk, and Major A. L. Par- sons, members of the Army Air Base Board, who arrived here yes- terday afternoon from Chilkoot Barracks, were escorted on an auto- mobile trip “to look over the Ju- neau area” this afternoon by Nor- man Banfield, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Charles G. Burdick, of the Forest Service, and Robert Bender, Editor of The Em- pire.

DELEGATE A. J. Alaskans Know the Difference Between Truth and False Smoke-Screens! The people of this community of both parties have been subjected to an unprecedented barrage of wildly flung, desperate, untruthful, and vindicative words, going far beyond the realms of good taste, during the Republican “ral- lies” here. The Democratic Divisional Committee full well realize that some of these utterances were as distasteful to groups of fine Republicans as they were to Democrats. LIMOND The same tactics and the same revulsion on the part of the voters oc- curred throughout the Interior and to the Westward where “keynote” speech- es were made, according to many communications received here, before the “rallies” started in Juneau. Many knew what to expect. Others received their first shock when they doubted their ears here. PUT YOUR TRUST IN ACTS AND FACTS! Although most of the barrage of words were those of criticism a few pledges and promises were made. WHY WAS NOT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THESE THINGS DURING THOSE TWELVE LONG YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE — NATIONALLY AND IN ALASKA? WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN ALASKA HAVE THESE BITTER-TALK- ING SPOKESMEN WITH WHICH TO POINT WITH PRIDE DURING THOSE COMPLETELY REPUBLICAN !2 YEARS? HOW CLOSE DID THEY COME TO THE HOME RULE THEY ADVOCATE, THE SAME HOME RULE THAT HAS BEEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM FOR YEARS, DURING THEIR 12 YEARS OF DOMINATION—BOTH IN ALASKA AND NATIONALLY? 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 unexcslled. in Alaskan waters; liberalizing the five-acre homestead law; empowering the Interior Departient to arrange and pay for education of Indians in Territorial schools; repeal of Alaska Bone Dry Law; giving Alaska the site of the present Pioneers' Home at Sitka; to survey and make estimates of probable cost of constructing International Highway; appropriating $25,000 for airmail contracts, and a large number of private bills. 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 wheo have visited him there know and appreciate. Thpse 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 untiring, consistent and intelligent efforts in the cause of Alaska. As all voters know, Alaska, as a Territory has no vote in Congress, yet without this 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 excellent contacts in the many administrative rtments that deal with Alaskam matters and has done most effective work for ‘he Territory through these contacts. Several high officials nave said to Alaskans, “Dimond hds put Alaska on the map in Wash- ing‘on.” The volume of beneficial legisiation 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 election, as a vote for Dimond is a vote for the continued progress, development and prosperity of this great Territory. AND SUPPORT HIM WITH A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET INCLUDING 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- provements without first obtaining Congressional sanction. Pending measures to give to the Legislature power to control the fish, fur and game resources or Alaska and abolition of fish traps. Other legislation obtained by him include: Authority for Juneau, Douglas, Wrangell, Skagway, Petersburg, Anchorage, Seward, Valdez, Nome, Fairbanks and Cordova to issue 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 Thlinget and Haida Indians to bring suit against the United States Court of Claims; removing protection from sea lons FOR REPRESENTATIVES J.
