eAFFNEY STANDS ON
 THE OFFICIAL RECORD

In order to refute malicious canard which Is being circulated In an attempt 10 deceive the vot- CTS with respect to the attitude of Mir. Gaffney, when tile bill came up to increase the amount of the pen sicns for aged pioneers from $2'5.OO to &35.OO, we are submitting to the voters the record of the various legislators on th, bill. This record was reported in ''The Stroller's Weekly" of May 2, 1927. Mfr. Gafrney, in his recent circular on the Comptroller Bill, has stated his position correctly on the pension bill.
 An attempt is being made to ques- tiOn his position by resorting to falsehOod instead of the official record or Journal of the House. The Democratic Campaign Com mittee is in possession of the rec ord and will be pleased to exhibit 1t to any person interested.

 Passed By Senate On March 31, Dunn's Pension Bill was reported back to the Sen ate by the Judiciary committee with the recommendation that it do pass" It was placed on the calendar and it passed the Senate without a dissenting vote. | It was transmitted to the House on April : and, on being read, was referred to the committee OH Terri torial institutions from whence it returned bearing the recommends ton that it do pass. It was read the second time and on motion of Rep resentative Ross, another Pioneer and delegate to the Grand Igloo convention held here in March, it l was referred to the Ways and Means chairman, and that Pension Bill was i held by the Ways and Means com mittee from the 21st of April until within an hour of the time for ad- ! iournment sine die of the legislature 1 Thursday night when Repres nta- tive Sheldon. another Grand Igloo delegate and who had been at all times an ardent champion of the bill, demanded that the Speaker have the bill produc d and read for final passage by the House.

 Ross reported the bill but when it came up for discussion Repre- sentative Johnson, close confi- dante of Ross, saw chance to gum the works which he did by amend ing the bill to include provision for passing with it measure pro- viding for the election of the Ter ritorial Treasurer by popular vote, such a bill having previously pass ed the Senate only to be killed in tn House. .-

 The objectionable clause in the bill having been stricken. Repre- sentative Lomen moved the orig !nal Pension Bill be put on final passage but Speaker Smith ruled he was out of order. that the whole measure had gone into the discard with the removal of the Treasurer decision of the Speaker on the ground that the original bill was regular. but the ruling was sus- tained by an eight to eight vote as follows:
 For overriding Speakers ruling: Fisher, Gaffney. Grier, Lomen. Mur-
 
 For sustaining Speaker: Benja- min, Ferguson, Johnston. Paul Ross. Sundquist, Worth, Mir. Speak CT

 Bill With That To Increase Pen-

 Are Crucified on the Cross of
 Political Ambition, Sacrificed to Policy of Rule Or Ruin-Ghost of Dead Comptroller Bill Stalks
 During Last Minutes of Session. "I was anxious for the Pension Bill to pass but as I was tied up with the bunch opposing it, l had to vote against it," said one of the members of the House of Repre- sentatives Thursday night when the Legislature adjourned sine die without passing Senate Bill No. 15.
 And the statement of that weak ling only shows that influence ex- erted by the radical element in the House over those it dominated and who voted as they were told to vote.
 by Senator John W. Dunn of the Fourth Division on March 5 when it was read for the first time and referred to the Judiciary Commit tee In substance the bill provided for a maximum pension to indigent pioneers of Alaska. of 20 or more years residence in the Territory, of S35.00 per month. Senator Dunn, himself a Pioneer. prese nted the | bill for two reasons the first of which was his conviction that it was d worthy measure and should be enacted into law. and the second was that the Grand Igloo which met at Juneau on the 17th of March and while the Legislature was in s sston, unanimously adopted res olution to the Legislature urging the passage of the Pension Bill for pioneers. The passage of such a bill was urged by the Retiring Grand President who was none Oth- CT than former Senator A. J. Di- mond who. in his address before the Grand Igloo on the subject of Old Age pensions for Alaskans said:
 Old Age Pension
 | Second. My second recommenda- tion relates to the old age pension system of Alaska The Pioneers cannot justly claim. and do not claim, entire credit for this. but they are entitled to a great deal of credit, for without them probably no such system could ever have been established. I think We will all agree that the system Is right in principle and has been splendid in operation. It has been efficiently administered, and generally justly administered. There have been abuses of course. but these abuses are SO few in number and So rela- lively unimportant that they may be overlooked, for in any pension system, in any system for the re- lief of the aged and indigent, some persons, through misrepresenta- tion, will secure it's benefits with out really being entitled thereto. But such cases under the Pioneers pension system in Alaska are SD few in number as to be negligible. My specific recommendation with relation to this system is that the maximum pensions allowable to any man should be raised to the sum Of $35.00 a month-a little more than one dollar per day.

Herman c. ArgO And Roy Bennett
Purchase Long Established Business

William A. Webb, one of the pio-
neer automobile men in Milford, has
sold his garage located on Railroad
avenue, to Herman c. Argo and G..
Roy Bennett. The business will be
operated under the name of the Mil
ford Motor Company in the future
Mr.. Webb established the business
about twenty years ago and has
been active in promoting the auto
mobile industry through its infancy
here. For several years past he has
sold the Buick line of cars in Mil

years as head of the mechanical ie-
partment. He will have charge of
the service department in the new

MILFORD DICTIONARIES
WILL PROVIDE FLAGS
Owners Of Residences VIII Have
Chance To Display Emblem

Some time ago the members of
American Legion Post No. 8, of Mil
ford, made a canvass of the mer-
chants and other business men and
sold American flags on standards
for displaying as occasion required.
At that time it was thought to
continue the canvass and to sell
flags to every property owner in the
town who was interested. The mat
ter was not pushed and no effort
was made to awaken the citizens in
this respect. On Thursday evening
of this week the members of the
Legion held dinner in the Parish
House of the Episcopal Church at
which the project was revived. The
Legion will secure these flags, pro-
vide suitable holders in the curb
and do all the work necessary. They
may be had at nominal cost. They
may be had from any member of
the Legion. 1t is the thought of the
Legionaires that Milford citizens
may better display their patriotism
through the display of the emblem
On national holidays. About %
of the legion were present
1T the meeting on Tuesday night.
DR.. Otto King gave very interest
ing talk on organization. Several
piano solos were played. by Fred |
