.orkrnen' S Compensation
 Insurance

Without any doubt, and we invite comparison, Alaska has the rottenest workmen's compensation laws there Is in the United States. It is the product of those insensible minds which control the big corporations of Alaska. It seems so hard for capital" to learn that justice to the working man is the surest foun- dation for tranquility and big divi- dends.
 The present workman's compensa- tion law was written by the attor- neys of the Alaska Juneau, Alaska Gastineau, and the Treadwell Mining Companies. It was introduced in the House by Arthur G. Shoup, the present District Attorney.
 In 1921, Hon. Charles w. Brown attempted to amend the law so as to eliminate the most objectionable fea- lures of it, but the "enemy" were too strong for him then.
 In 1923, Charles w. Brown, now Senator from the Second Division, wrote to William L. Paul to draft a model workmen's compensation act for, he said, "Nome has a progress sive delegation, and we want a good act" I wrote the bill using the model act of the American Federation of Labor Legislation for a basis.
 The principal of the proposed law was that the Territory should pay the benefits directly to the workman or his beneficiaries, instead of leav- ing the men to deal with the com pany. Each company would pay a premium based on the hazard of it's business to the Territory. In Shis way the rates would vary according to the risk.
 The second departure from the present law was the payment of maximum of 66 2-3 per cent of the average wages to the injured person for the period of disability instead of lump sum settlement as ar present. In case of remarriage, the widow was to get lump sum settle ment equal to two years benefits. + has been found that this arrange ment helps deserving widows in at tracting worthy husbands.
 This bill was drawn so that a lawyer did not have a chance to

people, leaving strictly Federal af- fairs in the hands of the federal of ficials.
 He opposed the fishery reserves, voted for the Grant Memorial complete fishery bill now introduced by Dan Sutherland in Congress and fair to fishing interests, voted for the resolution directing the Attorney General to inquire through the courts into the legality of the fishery re- serves, voted for a fair tax on In- dustries, opposed the further waste of money by the Territory on Fish Hatcheries.
 Certain American Legion men who do not like Coles independence, seek to prejudice voters by saying that he opposed the bonus asked for by cer- tain of them. Really this is a good instance of Coles independence and honesty.
 This bonus bill was introduced in the 1921 legislature in the form of memorial to Congress. 1t was amend ed by friends CD of the Legion un- til the memorial finally became q request to Congress for the exten- sion of the homestead laws to the soldiers. It was this camouflage of a bonus bill that MT. Cole voted against for the good reason that it was not a bonus but a mere request for a right which the soldiers al- ready had.
 Cash Cole is opposed by the Fed eral machine of carpet -baggers be- cause they cannot control him. The argument which will be used against him is that "he is too young" If increasing age is a necessary qualifi- cation for our governor, if "age" makes a man fit to be governor, I know number of old fellows who would make ideal governors.
 Let us not misunderstood the is sues. We are not engaged in a com petition for the election of old men to high offices. We are engaged in electing men because of the ideas which they represent. The contest is Progressive versus Reactionary." Ire two men most typical of this contest are Cash Cole and Scott c. Bone. Home-rule versus Carpet-bag- ger. Open and above board fight ing versus pussyfooting.
 We hope that Cash Cole is elect ed, and then appointed, and that he might take the oovernor,s chair

Cash Cole Files

Cash Cole has tiled asa candidate for Peoples choice for Governor un- der the law of 1921 passed so that the people could indicate whom they wished appointed governor of AL aska.
 This law grew out of the desire of the people of Alaska to indicate to the President of the United States their desires for governor. The long contest betWeens Judge Wickersham and George Hazlett was still fresh in the minds of the legislators. Ad- herents of each man declared that his man was the choice of the ma- jority of the of the voters in Alas ka. Judge Wickersham was support ed by long petitions of the residents of Alaska, whereas MT. Hazlett show eG numerous endorsements of Cham bers of Commerce.
 The President will not be bound to appoint Alaska's preference, but thorough, 100 per cent Americans be- lieve that the next President will yield to the natural desires of Alas kans to have something to say about their own governor, and that the next President will respect the principle of majority rule"
 Cash Cole is young man who has been honored twice by an election to the Territorial Legislature During the second term, the majority of the Repres en t ti yes in turn gave him the special honor of electing him their Speaker.
 After a long acquaintance with Cash Cole, we have formed this es- innate of him; that he is a man of his word absolutely; that he is fear less; that he comes out into the open and will give you square answer to any question touching his office; that he is honest; and that he sticks by his friends.
 He is endorsed by Delegate Dan Sutherland and by the Hon. James Wickersham. He is known to be Progressive Republican,
 You can also judge him by his enc mics; R. E. Robertson and Bert Faulkner, corporation lawyers of Ju- neau; Governor Scott c. Bone, and MT. Bone's political adviser, Karl Thiele, and by other public men of the predatory type like John Troy, editor of the Juneau Empire.
 During the last legislature, he fought for the Controller Bill which was designed to nut the control of

CONNIE MACK IS
 SPENDING MONEY
COchrane Latest Star He Has
 Purchased
tBy Billy Evans)


 Connie Mack is getting to bo a regular spendthrift.
 With the world series still fresh in the minds of every fan. the of sea- son only two months old, Connie has parted with sl70,OOO in real money and players,
 For that sum of money Mack se- cures the most sought-after battery in tho country, Pitcher Lefty" Groves of the Baltimore Orioles and Catcher Gordon Cochrane o of the Portland club Of the Pacific Coast league.
 Last season Connie lost any repu- tation that he might have had for being penurious by spending in the neighborhood Of sl0o,000 for Bishop, Strand and Simmons.
 This year, away to an early start, there is no telling what he will do before the opening Of the season.
 The failure of Strand, and the or dinary showing of Bishop, due 10 illness and injuries, would have slowed down a less optimistic chap than Connie.
 That it pays to cater to fandom ia proved by the fact that the Phila- delphia Athletics are doublc-deck- ing all their stands.
 True, Mack's efforts didn't even win berth In the first division last year, but 1t convinced the public he was trying.
 The Athletics were anything but soft picking last season. They gave real battle 10 every club. The fans got run for their money, hence the double deck stands.
 Last year Mack's club was just a trihe shy of championship class. It lacked something. In the pinch there was an absence of the batting punch. The pitching lacked con- sistency.
 Outfielder Bill Lamar, secured late In the year, apparently supplied the batting punch. Mack is hopeful that the battery strength he has added in Groves and Cochrane will bolster the other weakness
 During the last two months of the 1924 American league season, the Athletics played better ball than the three favorites, Washington, New York and Detroit. There's somc- thing to ponder over.
 It is rather strange that Cochrane had to go to the far west to estab- fish his ability as a player.
 Cochrane is an easterner Last year he attended Boston University In that city. He was one of the star athletes.
 It Is surprising that neither Bos- ton club got a line on Cochrane. Perhaps it was the fact that he won more fame as football player than a diamond performer
 Walter Camp lists Gordon Coch- rane as one of the countrys leading halfbacks in 1923.
 The records show that he pulled one Of the best kicking stunts of the year against Brown University.
  three points were the result of a drop kick from the middle of the field by one Gordon Cochrane.
 Undoubtedly the astute Mir. Mack is convinced that a club that gives the opposition a run for it's money is a worthwhile venture.
 In the last four deals that he has made in his drive for the pennant. Mack has expended upwards of S350.000.
