In the republican ranks the dis.
position seems to be to re.nominate
Gunder Olson for State Treasurer
without opposition. This would be
a fitting tribute to Mr.. Olson who
has served the people we'll. His
independence and rugged honesty
will precede scandals in that office

brought into the various courts in
this state should never be brought.

quence the court calendars are
loaded down and the people have
to pay the expense in taxation.
This can be remedied " the peo-

DEMOCRATS
 SPEAK BEFORE CLUB
tContinucd from page I)


 year and it was bound to come. The local legislature could do al most everything in the way of providing suitable laws for the territory. He urged the Demo- crats of Alaska to be true to the principles of Jcfrcrsonian Dem ocracy and the territory could get home rule from d Democratic ad- ministratiOn.
 Mr. Jennings said the Demo- cratic club of Juneau had also drawn up a platform to present to the convention. It was sim liar to the one prepared by the Valdez club and no doubt other delegations would also have ideas of their own on certain matters. The Democratic principles of the greatest good for the greatest number would be the keynote of the platform which would be adopted by the convention.
 He approved of a modification or the lien laws so as IO include the claim as we'll as the dump when under a lien for wages. He approved of mine inspection law and did not see that there could br any possible objection !n such d measure. The law was I;i .nrcc in states where mining was carried on and was needed in Alaska to protect human life.
 He favored the S-hOur work day For persons employed under ground. Th" law providing a penalty for ,ruIpI0yc and employ or for violations was d necessity. Such a law was now in force in Utah and was beneficial
 He favored the passage of a law compelling wages to be paid in cash at least once in 30 days.
 He favored an employers lia- bility law but expressed the be- lief that nothing could be done to secure such a law until home rule had been secured for Alas ka. Congress would never grant such a measure as the big in- tereSts would fight the passage of a bill of that nature. Wash ingtOn and other states had adopted a compulsory insurance law which could be enforced in Alaska by the local legislature.
 MT. Jennings said there was no room for discussion concern ing the opening of coal lands in Alaska. Every citizen fully realiz- cd the great injustice which was being done the people of Alaska by the system of conservation as applied to Alaska by the Rcpub- lican administration.
 He favored the construction of the railroad by the government. The Democrats would place no obstacles in the way.
 MT. Jennings said there was n difference of opinion regarding the taxing of halibut and herr ing fisheries. Regarding the sal mon canncrics all Alaska was in favor of affair tax being imposed. Tho herring and halibut fishing was done by individuals who re- maincd in Alaska and paid taxes indirectly on the money made from this source. Tn the case of the salmon canneries all the money was taken out of the coun- try and invested in Washington or some other state and taxes were paid upon it there. Senator Jones had a bill now before the senate providing a tax of eight cents per case. The speaker did not know whether that was right or not and believed the matter was one which should be investi-
