(Paid Advertisement) e e S I L R A MESSAGE FOR ALASKANS . . . wromiienrytioden Resident Alaskan for 53 years; early day prospecior and miner in Third and Fourth Divisions (Rampari, Fairbanks, [ditared); former Assisiant Uniled States Attorney at Flal; member of Firsi Terriorial Legislature, 1913, representing Fourih Bivision; President of Territor- 1al Senate, 1941, elected from Fivst Division; Attorney General of Aloska, 1341-45; Terriforial Treasurer, 1343-33; umoppose ] d candidate fo succeed himself in that office. Because I face no opposition in the forthcoming election I can analyze the political situation in Alaska dispassionately. The Republicans, although they have had much to say about the conduct of Territorial affairs, did not see fit fo nominate a candidate for Territorial Treasurer. In my lime [ have covered much of the Territory onfoot. 1once walked the length of the Kenia Peninsula and from Iliamna to Takoina and the Kuskokwim. I have seen Alaska grow from a scattered series of stam- pede camps {o a modern, stable country, with all the problems of civilization. I hope that my intimale ac- quaintance with Alaska's indusiry and government over two generalions qualifies me to speak to my fellow citi- zens on the real issues of this campaign. The self-appointed spokesmen of the Republican party in Alaska view everything with alarm. They say corruption, misfeasance and malfeasance are rampant. While they assert this, they have done nothing about if. Let me remind them that it was a democratic District Attorney who promply prosecuted the defaulting Treas- urer after his defalcations became known. i was a demo- cratic Legislature which called for two other scalps now claimed by Republican haichet men. Al White conven- iently forgets that that bad man, Oscar Olson, got his training in statecraft as a Republican and was a member of the G.0.P. until 1934 when, like others, he saw how the political wind had shifted and became a democrat for pie only. It was some pie but the Territory recovered it from the bonding company. In the 1344 campaign Olson had the active political support of Al White, who disliked the Republican candidate Cash Cole because Cole sup- ported statehood. Thus do politics make sirange bed- fellows. To refer again to the exaggerated charges of cor- ruption, I suggest tha Republicans making these wild statements make them stick by lodging their complaints (Paid Adveytisement) with the District Attorney and the Grand Jury. Unless their charges have subsiance they should abstain from smearing reputable citizens. In other words, put up or shut up. The head of our ticket, Delegate Bartlett, is now in the Territory and will give the lie to those parts of the G.0.P. smear directed at him in absentia. The present adminisiration in Alaska has been the most progressive in the history of the Territory. The last session of the Legislature — and all credit to the handful of Republicans who voied with the majority—did more to put Alaska’s house in order and bring it abreast of the times than did any previous Legislature since and excepting the 1913 Session. The election now of legis- lators pledged to undo that program would be a tragic step backwards. ‘ The 1949 Legislaiure gave us the means of meet- ing Alaska's obligations 1o its children, its aged, its sick and its needy. That moderate fax system must be re- tained. Al White inconsistently condemns taxes and at the same time condemns the administration because one of the 1949 tax measures was furned down by the District Court. Itisnow before the appellate court. Almentions that another, the fish trap fax, was in one feature held invalid. Al fails to mention that under the portion sus- tained by the Court the Territory ha taken in more from traps than ever before. The Territory would be hopelessly bankrupt by this fime without the basic revenue measures adopted last session. We are on a cash basis and are paying all our bills as they are pressnied. Moreover, we have made good, through tax collections in this biennium, on about two million dollars worth of unpaid bills left us by the Republican-controlled 1947 Legislature. I have sufficient fajth in Alaskans to know that fair-minded Republicans have learned that their "Gen- eral Counsel’ has not — that you cannot defeat your op- ponent with calumny and abuse. But every iwo years Al put on his warpaint, gives himself a fifle, thinks he is Napoleon, and turns the firehose on anybody that cross- es his path. This is the season when there ain't no flies on Al i | To date not one single progressive measure has been advocated by any Republican candidate. They ask that the government of the nation and Territory be re- turned to them, as in the good old days — the days when veterans stood on each street corner selling apples and pencils; when millions of unmployed were searching gar- bage cans for something to take home to the hungry chil- dren: when the banks were closed, factories were idle anid when workingmen asking for food were dispersed by soldiers. | - g Conditions in the Territory have improved in the last fifty years and particularly in the last eighieen when a democratic administraiion has been in office by the people’s will. Throughout Alaska’s history the improve- ments have been initiated and carried through by Demo- cratic administrations. Today we have an excellent school system. Our University is gaining national recognition. The Pioneers’ Home is operated splendidly. We now have a Pioneer Women's Home. Our senior citizens need no longer go begging. Our health problems are heing met. Discrim- ination between races has disappeared. Many hundreds of miles of roads and trails have been constructed, air- plane landing fields built and numerous floats, harhors, and gridirons for fishermen installed. Yes, Alaska is moving ahead. Keep it moving, keep it growing and progressing by voting on October tenth for candidates who will work not for their own selfish ends but for the public good and Alaska's future. (Sgd) HENRY RODEN
