BY BEN STERN

Governor Harry G. Leslie spent
more than $4,000 refurnishing the
Governors mansion during the first
year of his term, using the emer-
gency fund and a special fund re-
naming from the Jackson admin
istration to do so. At the same
time. he has been drawing $833.33
a month for mansion maintenance
from another fund, a report filed
today by the state board of ac-
counts sets forth.
The report, made at the request
of Governor Leslie, is merely an au-
dit and makes no comment on the
manner of expenditures.
1t sets forth no itemization of how
the Governor has spent the 1888. 33
a month which he draws on a
straight voucher for household
maintenance, except the cryptic
sentence:
Disbursements, Harry G.. Leslie,
Governor, $5,316.13."
Draws SS33.33 Monthly
This is the total payment of the
mansion maintenance fund for a
six-months period. Since that time.
Leslie has been paid monthly
vouchers for S8S3.33.
There is no record with the audi
tor of state as to how these pay
mentS are being spent.
The Governor had declared. when
comment first was made on his eX-
penditureS. that he also would ask
for an audit of the maintenance
fund. of which there is no record.
But the accounts board has re-
ceived no such request.
The report sets forth that when
Leslie assumed Office Jan. IS, 1929,
there was available from a special
fund for construction of a new
sewer. painting, repairs, etc, for the
mansion, S2.576.33.
Spends All But S6.21.
He spent all but 1921 of that
money for furniture. painting,
electrical repairs, plumbing and
new awnings.

ALASKA LIVE MINK BROKER.
 AGE COMPANY ORGANIZED

-- -4--s z
 The Alaska Live Mink Brokerage Company, an organization founded to encourage. handle and advertise the i...nk industry of Alaska, was organ ized and launched at Anchorage re- gently.
 Sp4aking of the new organization, II. L. Erwin, its secretary, in a note to the Kusko Times, says:
 w hile this IS an entirely new. branch of the mink industry, it is something that is a necessity and will be of great advantage to the fur industry. Me, the directors of the company, have enough faith in the development of the Territory and the mink industry to believe that transaltions for the trading in the live mink industry will be carried on through a brokerage company, thus aiding the fur farmer. There is no question but that the fur farmer, be- cause of his location at out-of-the- way point, would prefer disposing or his increases through the medium of a brokerage company.
 ''The company is composed of re- liable people, with long experience in the commercial field. Leo A. Kos losky is a member of the firm of 1. Koslosky & Sons, fur merchants of this city, and has had eight wears experience in the fur business. E. Wells Erwin is connected with the .stxf .of the First National Rank of Anchorage as teller; D. L. Erwin, also member of the staff of the First Ma tienal Bank of Anchorage, and J. M. kosloslsy, member of the lrm of l. koslosky < Sons.
 "Kt is eur plan to advertise the Alaska mink industry through the medium of magazines, newspapers and direct maiing campaign, thus stimulating . wider interest.
 .Because of our locatiqn in the heart of the mink belt, we can assure the buyers of the choicest selections. proper shipping and prompt ,deliv- cry"

THE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
MENACE

Several states have embarked
on intensive campaigns to lower
the gigantic annual toll of deaths
and injuries caused by automo.
biles. !
During 1880, Maryland has
suspended the licenses of 994
drivers. revoked 761, and re
fused license apprications from
1862. for such, offenses as
drunken driving, failure to stop
after accidents and driving at
extremely high speeds.
The New York safety respon
sibility law not only suspends or
revokes the licenses of reckless
or incompetent drivers, but pro
vides that before they can be
relicensed they must provide
proof of their ability to satisfy
damages that may accrue from
future accidents, either by cash
deposit. bond or insurance policy.
Connecticut has adopted q
plan by which drivers who have
accidents must pay higher rates
for insurance than careful driv.
ers.
The trend throughout the en-
tire nation is toward modernized, j,
strictly enforced traffic codes,
laws making examination of po
tential drivers necessary, and
severe punishments when motor.
lists are inexcusably careless or
Incompetent. Something is ira
gically wrong when 10000 per
sons can be killed and 100000
seriously Injured in a single
year by automobiles.

THE CRIME INDUSTRY

Seventy per cent of the crime
in this country is committed by
an organized industry, and
chances for the criminal mem Der
to escape are IS per. cent in his
favor. Karl Frederick, former
amateur pistol champion. told
the committee on commerce of
the American Bar Association.
Mr.. Frederick asserted that
most organizations seeking to
prevent crime spend too much
time considering the regulation
of pistol sales when, as a matter
of fact. only two per cent of
pistols are owned by criminals.
He urged the committee to con

When you attempt to regu
late the sale of arms" said Mr..
Frederick, you do not bit the
criminal, because be can always
make a pistol. 1t is a simple
matter, and any high school
youngster who knows anything
about chemistry can .manufac
ture gun-powder.
You cannot attempt to check
crime by regulating pistol sales,
because pistols do not cause
crime. You must get to the
root of the evil. End all politi
cal af1i,iation with crime and you
are ma king good progress. Only
the reformer believes that crime
can be cured by legislation"
