PAGE SIX Wlllmm Lewis Paul A REPUBLICAN PLATFORM FOR THE FIRST DIVISION PROPOSED BY WILLIAM LEWIS PAUL, CANDIDATE FOR NOMINA- TION FCR THE HOUSE ON THE REFUBLICAN TICKET Believing that the platform adopted by the Republican caucus has omitted matters important to the First Division, I submit the following to the citizens thereof:— BE IT RESOLVED BY THE REPUBLICANS OF THE FIRST DIVI- SION that they, in firm adherence to the form and principles of the De- claration of Independence and the Constitution, do hereby invite all citizens to join in supporting this vlatfors 1) that we show our good faith in self-government by r'(nxung an office to be filled by election which shall administer all- the duties now imposed on the federal governor. 2) that we balance the budget and submit that this can be done beyond peradventure if the legislature would first calculate our probable income for the ensuing biennium and adopt a joint rule that the total appropriations be kept within that figure, the said joint rule not to be subject to suspension or amendment. 3) We sharge that the present administration has suppressed in- formation that would reveal the enormous cost of medical aid, relief, and primary schools for the purpose of promoting other schemes of its per- sonally ambitious leaders. We therefore demand that the present ad- ministration publish its estimate of the additional cost of Statehood, and in the abgence of such a publication, we submit the following estimate is reasonable, towit, $22 million (the present cost) plus $4 million for health, $2 million for relief, $4 million for primary schools (including city schools), $4 million for our justice department (courts, jeils, insane asylums), $2 million for fisheries and game, besides an unpiedic table sum for public buildings, reminding you that $15 million was reques ed just for schools outside the federal system for our public schools or a probable cost of over $40 million. Common prudence would require us to know the cost before buying even such a desirable package as Statehood. 4) We condemn the refined cruelty with which this Democratic administration has handled our relief problem when it first set a standard calling for $65 per month and by failing to provide an adequme appro- priation, it reduced this amount first to $45 and by its own "miscalcula- tions, the Board of Public Welfare of which the federal governor is chair- man, reduced this sum another 20%. 5) We condemn this administration for its refusal to give the ap- plications of destitute Indian mothers and orphans the same consideration freely, granted to white mothers, and we prcmise to restore the fair treatment formerly accorded them by the Republican administration. 6) We condemn the recent speech of the present governor wherein he declared that his administration was now taking from those who were developing the natural resources of Alaska what he called “its share of wealth” with a promise to “plow it back” as being the very foundation stone of communism, a logical development of which will lead to con- fiscation of private property and the loss of personal freedom including that of contract. 7) We contend that the confusion in our present tax system was clearly foreseen by the Governor from New York, but that it was not avoided because this confusion is a part of a venture into communism the groundwork for which has been mentioned in the foregoing para- graph. We submit that this subject could be clarified by adopting a system of taxation within the following scope, namely, I—Impose a net income tax (as at present); II—A nominal business license tax for record purposes; III—Tax on idle property; IV—Excise sales tax on tobacco and intoxicating liquors. 8) We commend the national administration for its many declara- tions favoring self-government for Alaska, but charge that such declara- tions are for political purposes. We therefore demand that federal jurisdiction over our fisheries be transferred without delay to this Terri- tory. 9) We acl ledge the mandate of the people for the abolishment of fish traps at the rate of 107 yearly, and we charge that our Delegate to Congress has not kept faith with the people because he has joined with the national administration in pretending that it needed additional authority to carry out this mandate. 10) We affirm that all bodies created to make regulations having the force of law should be elective. So we would make the Territorial Fish Commission elective, and note that the present administration pur- posely failed to give the trollers representation on the Board. 11) We note the fact that the sales tax on gasoline was imposed to give under-tonnage boats medical service equal to that allowed boats of five tons and over and failed to provide such service. We therefore demand this implied contract be filled and that the sales tax be discontinued. 12) We commend Mr. Truman for his Civil Liberties Program since it is merely the final phase of the battle started by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party which prohibited all discriminations based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and we regret that Jim Crowism has so long survived in his own Democratic south. 13) We acknowledge the original ownership of a large area of Alaska by Tlingit, Haida and other native groups, and note the progres- sive loss of such ownership under the impact of American civilization in such a way that a cloud remains to impete the orderly development of jlaska. We therefore advocate the extinction of such aboriginal title by negotiation between the Secretary of the Interior and the native claim- on to be paid by Congress free from bureaucratic control. efore deplore the etfort to settle this question by the creation of re: tions of land and water because that would create a wholly artificial segregation of the Indians from the rest of our citizens, a result which, we believe, to be objectionable to the Indians themselves. To the foregoing and other principles of like import, we pledge our support. (Paid Advertisement) DR. ROBERT SIMPSON DR. TED OBERMAN Optometrists Phone 266 for appt. 'SECOND DAY OF THE - ALASKA PRESBYTERY (GNTINUES ACTIVELY 'i Vesterday marked the second day {of the Alaska Presbyterey of 1950 | in the Northern Light Presbyterian | church of Juneau. The devotional period charted for 8:45 am. Thurs- day was led by Lay Preacher Sam { Johnson of Angoon. Inspirational messages of the morning were presented by Drs. [ Price 1. Gwynn and Walter Barlow. Topics discussed with Leadership Education and Faith and Life in the program of the modern church. Following the roll call, secretaries of the Presbytery were chosen with the Rev. Raymond Spivey of Pet- ersburg and the Rev. James H Mullholland of Metlakatla serving. With the ladies of the Alaska Presbyterial Society adjourning to the Juneau Methodist church at ten o'elock, both sessions continued the official business of the day. The Rev. George Betts of Hoonah, Mod- erator, presided. In the course ot events the Rev. R. Rolland Arm- strong was dispatched to Washing- ton, D.C., leaving Juneau Thursday via Ellis Air Lines. At the nation: capital Mr. Armstrong will act in behalf of policies considered to be in the best interests of the Pres- bytery and of Alaska. At eleven o'clock’ a Bible study ~as led by Dr. Barlow after which he group recessed for a ‘“snack” ‘unch and at 2 o'clock the afternoon session was convened. ‘This period was devoted to a two- fold presentation of fundamentals f church leadership and religious sducation by Dr. Price H. Gwyhn and the church’s basic background of teaching in the realm of faith and life by Dr. Walter Barlow Drawing from experiences of their THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA: | lifetimes, both of these noted lead- ers brought to the Presbytery a fresh view of broader horizons in the field of religious service and its significance to modern society. Presented in “forum style" both addresses were followed by round table discussions in which numerous delegates participated. Committee meetings were held following the forum of the after- noon. At 6 o'clock the parlors of the Northern Light Church were the scene of a dinner given by the General Committee of the church, of which Mrs. T. B. Reher was chairman. The dining room com- mittee was in charge of serving and of this committee, the, chair- man was Mrs. T. A. Morgan. The dinner was climaxed by an inte: lude of spesking, with Andrew Gamble of Kake as toastmaster. H> called on the visiting officials afte- which the Rev. Willis R. Booth re- sponded and Mrs. Booth spoke for the Alaska Presbyterial Society. An informal interval ensued, after which a service of divine wors was the next event of the six-day program. Opening the service with call tc worship, the Rev. Paul H. Prouty ot Juneau led the singing and Mis: Ann Henn!nz was at the organ. Sermon of the evening was de- livered by Dr. Gwynn, who, took Christian Fortitude as his game cf life according to the rules. That there are rules which must, perforcc be observed, he added, means that there are no easy victories, and am- plified and illustrated the com- petitive phases of all life, both phy sical and spiritual. His sermon was filled with nu- merous graphic examples of live: into which had entered the spirit of dedication to a cause resultinc in winning the goal of great lifc measured in terms of civic right- eousness and spiritual freedom Closing in song, the day was ended Protect vour EFurs Store them with Chas. Goldstein Co. The only fur storage vault in Juneau 3 We invite you to come in and see our storage facilities. OUT-OF-TOWNERS: Ship your furs to Chas. Goldstein & Co., Juneau, Alaska with many of the visiting delegates being guests in homes of the com- munity. The General Committee on ar- rangements pointed out to this re- porter that one of the groups which should be particularly commended for its efficiency is the Housinz Committee, responsible for much work that has been undramatic but essential. Co-chairman of that com. mittee were Mr. and Mrs. Rola B. Burrows, with Mrs. T. A. Mor- gan assisting. Today's morning session called at 8:45 o'clock, opening with a devotional period under guidance of Lay Preacher Andrew J. Wana- maker of Klukwan.

TO THE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS OF ALASKA Section 1651 of the laws of Alaska has this to say: The Gov- ernor of Alaska has authority to see that the laws enacted by the Legislature are enforced, and to require the faithful discharge of their duties by OFFICIALS of the TERRITORY. Do you believe, from the COR- RUPTION, MALFEASANCE and MISFEASANCE that is taking Saturday Night place in this Territory that the Governor of Alaska, with his con-; tinual absences from the Territory, did KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THESE OFFICES? If he did not know what was going on, WHY NOT? Former Territorial Treasurer, is serving 10 years in the penitentiary for his malfeasance and misfea- sance in office, which included a shortage of more than $50,000. In addition, $27,000 worth of liquor stamps are reported unaccounted for and it is said that some persons employed by former Treasurer were short in their accounts. Corres- pondence linking other violations and shortages is reported to have heen destroyed. Corruption, Malfeasance and Mis- feasance continue to confront us, and YOU, the TAX PAYER, must pay ever higher and higher taxes to support this waste and corrup- tion unless we now put an end to it.
