States His Platform

'
 compilation of the territorial stat utes, to amend the primary law, and to solve the transportation ques- tion. He concludes this part of his speech as follows: There are a large number of other questions which have received the same treat ment at the hands of the legisla. ture, and finishes with reasons that are not complimentary to that body Apparently Mr. Rustgard does not suspect that his own cold blooded personality might be a factor in the solution of the problem He lseems to take it for granted that every one is out of step in the mat ters he complains of and that the i legislature has always been obdurate without just reason, is it not easier to elect one Attorney General who can and will work with the legis- lature, rather than twenty-four leg islators who will be in accord with the methods of the Attorney Gen. eral? Is it not good politics as well as good business sense to try new man for the office? Whatever the cause, MT. Rustgard admits that he is a failure as an attorney gen. eral when new legislation is need ed.
 But if MT. Rustgard. as attorney general, cannot secure constructive Legislation, he has demonstrated that he is able to defeat some. A bill was introduced in the legislat- ure in 1925 providing for a dis criminatory tax on nonresident fishermen. The purpose of the bill was to protect our own fishermen from nonresident fishermen and en- courage an increase in the resident population. Oregon and Washington have similar laws, why not Alaska? At his own request, MT. Rustgard spoke against the bill on the floor of the house. It was defeated.
 The resident who makes his liv- ing by fishing is as much entitled to protection against foreign com petition as the resident merchant who claims and is given protection against nonresident peddlers. He spends his income in Alaska, builds and maintains a home in the terri tory, while the nonresident fisher man carries his earnings back to Seattle or San Francisco. The can- nery corporations were against the measure, of course, but why our attorney general? That is a ques- tion that MT. Rustgard must ans- wer to the satisfaction of the people and more specially the fishermen, before he is returned to office.

 have high personal regard for the present incumbent of the of fee but he admits that he cannot get results. He furnishes the ev- idence himself that he cannot SC cure much needed laws throuogh the legislature.
 Seventeen of the thirty-nine pages of his speech delivered at Anchor age on the 3Oth day of September. 1927 are given up to bitter com plaints over his failure to secure proper legislation. He laments that every legislature since that of 1923 has annulled his efforts at construc- tive legislation by unwarranted op- position. He especially mentions the election laws, cannery sanita- ton, the probate laws, compilation of the territorial statutes, the pri- mary law and the transportation question.
 Concerning the election laws he says:
 '"The Attorney General has repeat edly recommended revision of the election laws. These laws are and have been conflicting and confusing Urged such revision upon the legis- lature of 1928 and drafted bill to carry out that recommendation. The bill was never as much as reported out of committee. I again urged the measure before the legislature of 1925 but no action was taken. | repeated by recommendations in 1927 and submitted a bill. ." The bill was not even given the honor of an introduction in the house but was introduced in the senate. When it came up for final passage it was defeated"
 Continuing his speech, MT. Rust gard then enters into lengthy dis cussion of 8 cannery sanitation bill by him at the request of the legislature and which, at first, met with some opposition from one or more misinformed canneries but which, after all cannery opposition had been withdrawn, was defeated. Tn concluding his remarks on this measure, Mir. Rustgard asks "Why then the opposition?" and proceeds to criticfse the mentality of the legislature.
 Next the lament takes up MT. Rustgard's efforts to secure the re- vision of the probate laws which the majority of lawyers practicing in the territory comedies should be re- formed. He goes on to tell how, session after session of the legislat- 4ure he had prepared bills and urg- <h0$w aAnr<{A~ z~n~~ 1ouy

ROAD AFFAIRS
REPORT TAME
Suggests Bids Be Closed;
Shows $1,818 Debt.

Principal feature of a report of
State board of accounts examiners
on State highway commission
affairs from Oct. l, 1923, to Sept. 30,
1927, made public today was its
tameness compared to the 1928
board of accounts report which
charged misuse by the commission
of used war materials received from
the Government.
Today'S report made by Examiners
Ross Techemeyer and B. B. Nc
Donald reported that the highway
commission owes the general fund
$l,818 interest received on highway
fund deposits.
It also recommended that the
motor transport division received
sealed instead of open BIDS on
equipment it desires to purchase.
This suggestion was adopted by the
highway commission in July, it said.
A change in the system Of Vouch-
ers on the State auditor was recon-
mended. At present vouchers simply
state the money is to be taken from
the highway commission funds, and
do not state from what particular
commission appropriation the money
is to come, the report said.
The Seaman Construction Com
pany of ABBOTT, Ind, owes the COM
mission 5000 for lumber provided
the company in 1926 for the stor-
age to cement along a road under
construction between Roanoke and

VIOLATE LAW
TO SAVE MONEY
Technical Breach in Buying
Cement Shown.

State highway commission meth
DDS of purchasing cement are
branded as technical violation of
the statutes" by board of accounts
examiners in a report made public
today on the construction division
of the highway commission. The
report shows, however, that the
State saves money by the technical
violation.
The same report that the State
highway department has failed to
collect charges totaling $6,825.60
from contractors doing work for
the commission during the period
between Oct. l, 1926 to Sept. 30,
1926.
Since the investigation began the
State has recovered $3,192.74, the
report says.
Chages are, in the most instances,
a result of the failure of contractors
to account for cement sacks at the
rate of 10 cents each.
In the section entitled Special
Report" the examiners, Ross Tecke-
meyer and William P. Cosgrove de-
clare:
1.-THE commission buys cement
direct from the mills and pays cash
within ten days of shipment, thus
earning a discount of 10 cents per
barrel.
"This plan is a technical viola
ton of the statutes which requires
all merchandise purchased by the
State must be in the possession of
the State and receipted for by some
one in authority before warrant
can be drawn in payment.
1.-THE record shows, however, that
claims for shortages or rejected
cement have been promptly adjusted
by the cement companies and the
State has suffered no loss in mate
rial by taking advantage of the dis
count"

PROTEST CAR ROUTE
Land Owners demonstrate
Widening Project.

Widening of w. Forty-Seventh
st. at Hinsley Ave. was rernon-
strated today by twenty-eight prop
erty owners who object to the rout-
ing of the Fairview street car line
on Forty-Seventh st.
Mike Shea, 430 w. Forty Seventh
ST., led the delegation before the
board of works. Property owners
protested the widening of the in
tersection to eliminate a jog.
demonstrators asked that the
street be widened to the Butler
University site instead of just at the
intersection, if it is to be used for a
street car line to Butler University.
They are opposed to running the
car line on that street, however
Charles j. Riddle, board member,
advised the delegation to file pc
tition for a wider street, indicating
the board would grant the plea but
the property owners failed to for
mally ask the wider street.
Riddle said it was settled" that
the car line will go west on Forty
Seventh from Boulevard Pl.
