the amendment which will permit

adopted, extend the term of the gov

REP. CHARLES BENJAMIN

81 come here conservative bust
nessman and by your unreasonable
subserviency to capital, you send
me away a raving radical. Why
these large interests at whose feet
you worship, just laugh at you, you
are so cheap. They expect to pay
taxes but you are afraid to tax them
One and three fourths percent on
net income of over 100000. What
its that? It is no tax. You make me
disgusted." Thus spoke that big
hearted Wrangell merchant, Charles
Benjamin to the fawning, cringing
servant of the steamship companies.

ageOus manhood and a knavish
eunich, with Senator Steel battling
against Senator Jensen, the subserv-
lent tool of special privilege.
To those of us who supported
Steel, his manly fight was no sur

and other laborers could see how
this man refused to spare himself to
advance his own interest but that
he strove honestly to keep his cleo
ton pledges.

The brand is on this man, he is
being praised by the Juneau Empire.

81 am for the working man; they

rights. That is why I am support
ing the Controller Bill" So spoke
the courageous William E. Worth
ut Petersburg.
He has the honor of introducing
the hill that abolished the taxes on
furs. In this he was supported by
the famous seven-Benjamin, Fer
guson, Paul, Sundquist, Johnston
and Ross. To these should be add
ed two names, Ben Grier and Sum-
ner Smith,
Worth also fathered the bill to es-
tablish steamship service between
Juneau and Prince Rupert, which
was defeated by the effort of cer.
tain steamship representative such
as Ralph Lomen and Tom Gaffney.
Worth never faltered in his fight
for the fishermen of Alaska voting
for a high tax on nonresident fish
ermen and on fish traps.

SENATOR JOHN w. DUNN


ed by Progressives. BY studied
deceit covering several years, he
gained our confidence. Like Benz
dict Arnold, he became the COM
mander of great fort. Like Ben
cdict Arnold, he betrayed the People
of Alaska for a price, that has not
yet been revealed.
We have heard many explana-
tons accounting for his change of
heart but the kindest is this "The
man is really insane" And when
you remember that John W. Dunn
is an outcast from his former
friends and now embraced by the
Juneau Empire, could you be kind
er than to say "He is really insane"
The reward is even worse. Elect
ed as an "anti-Marquam" Senator,
John w. Dunn voted with Howard
to put two Marquamites on the
Board of Regents of the Agricultural
College.
Senator Dunn, the DR.. Hyde of
prediction days is now Mr..
Hyde betrayer of the People of Alas
ka.
When he came to Juneau in
March he told Senator Steel 81 will
vote for the Controller Bill. When
he talked with Delegate Sutherland
he said, 'I will vote for the Con-
troller Bill' When he talked with
the clerk of he Court he said, II
will vote for the Controller Bill
When he talked with William L.
Paul he said, Eyes, I remember now
l did say I would vote for that Con-
troller Bill"
When he voted, he voted
AGAINST the bill. What would
you call such a man?

scented the telegram from the Peo-
pie of Fairbanks asking him 'to
vote for the Controller Bill" He
said he resented PRESSURE"
He said he was taken up on to a
high mountain and shown the riches

Of Anchorage

The Sumner Smith who entered

Sumner Smith who departed it.
Some of his bad habits still persist.
But he learned a lot, altho not
enough.
He came to the legislature, de-
clined to be a candidate for Speak
er promised to support Ross of
Fairbanks for Speaker and Cash
Cole for Clerk and then became a
candidate for Speaker himself and
agreed to support Harry Morton for
Clerk, all in one afternoon.
He is a we'll educated man, too
we'll educated, too refined in his
thinking and rather inexperienced
in his politics. His failings are prin.
cipaly two-he wonders If he is
right, and he thinks small matters
are not important
he was very ra1r and impartial
speaker. He rather favored his po-
litical enemies to avoid the charge
of unfairness but the MurrayGaff-
ney crowd never forgave him for
returning to the ranks of the regu
lar Republicans.
Smith voted with Grier and Muir
ray on the tax measures and thus
disappointed the resident fisher
who had been counting on his
vote. He it was who proposed that

l.. A. Campbell, former county agent
OF Hill county, later with the state
agricultural department n afterWard
travelling immigration agent of h
Northern Pacific, has been promoted to
the position Of agricultural develop
ment agent Of the Northern Pacific
with territory in northern Idaho and
western Montana. Mr.. Camphell'S ter
ritOry will extend as far east as Helena
and Butte and his headquarters, which
have been in st. Paul are to be at Mis-
sOula.
The appointment Of Mr.. Campbell for
work in this territory is in line with the
policy recently announced by j. G. Wood
worth, vice president in charge Of traffic,
which seeks, through appointment Of ex-
perienced and qualified men, to bring
about effective cooperation by the rail-
way company with agricultural colleges
and other agencies now engaged in de-
veloping the territory. The program
calls for assisting the individual farmer
in his effort to find the best methods to
make his farm profitable.
Campbell Has Experience
Mr.. Campbell is a graduate Of the ag-
ricultural college Of the University Of
Minnesota, in the class Of 1916. He was
/ county agent at Havre, Hill county, for
three years from 1920 to 1922; county
agent at Hamilton, Ravallt county, for a
ear n a half, in 1923 and 1924, and
engageQ IN farming near daVTe aDOuJ
five yers prior to going into county agent
work. He was chief of land settlement,
labor and publicity division Of the Mon
tana state department Of agriculture in
1924 and 1925, leaving there to become
associated with the immigration depart
ment Of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Campbell said that western Mon
tana and northern Idaho will grow in
cadence with the progress Of h north
Pacific coast which some Of the leading
economists of the United States already
have forecast is destined to become "the
front doc Of America"
Trend Is Westward
Montana and Idaho are strategically
located to reap the advantages Of this
development, both agriculturally and In
dustrially, and have the available re-
sources" Mr.. Campbell said. cit some
times has been difficult to impress the
easterner with the true story and rea,
merit Of this country. Montana, for in
| stance, covers a territory as large as thai
reaching from Chicago nearly to the At
lantic and consequently agricultural anC
industrial conditions are extremely va
ried. Outside publicity efforts are being
more favoribly received because OF thu
reports Of the improved crop and live
stock conditions in the west. People ar
moving into this section more rapid.
and others will follow If these newcom,
ers prosper"

EXPLORER LOST
Tennessee Cavern GIVES No Trace As
to the Fate of Missing Explorer.
Gone Since Monday,

Shell Mound, Tenn, AUG. % %
Eleven expeditions into Nick-a-Jack
cave had failed today to reveal any
trace as to the fate of Lawrence
Ashley, cave explorer and geologist.
who entered the cavern at 8 o'clock
last Monday. Ashley, as far as can
be ascertained, carried only scant
provisions with him and was
equipped with a limited supply o.
carbide to light the underground
passages which he set out to ex-
plore.
Near the bank OF an underground
stream which flows through the re-
cesscs of the cavern, one party Of
searchers found imprints which they
believe were made by Ashleys hands
and knees. but there was no clue as
TO whether the explorer had slipped
into the icy waters and had been
swept away or had merely crawled
to the bank of the river in his ex-
ploring work.
Farmers in the community have
volunteered to penetrate the un-
charted passages and the state of
Tennessee has also taken an active
part in the quest. Governor Austin
Peay Yesterday ordered Chief Mine
Inspector o. P. Pile to report i'm
mediately at the cave with six pick
ed members Of the mine rescue crew
from lockwood.
