TEST HIM BY HIS OWN
 MEASURE

But take MT. Rustgard's quot ed statement and how does the Attorney General measure up?
 When Mir. Rustgard became Attorney General, the Legisla- lature immediately passed a law Chapter 25 SLA 1921) restrict ing the right of the Attorney General to begin lawsuit for the Territory. He has com- plained about this law ever since. Why was this law pass ed for MT. Rustgard? The an- sWer is plain. He was without that trust and confidence" that is necessary for work as a pub.- lie official.

Trust and Confidence

Without that trust and con- fidence a person can accomplish nothing as a legislator" an At torney General or Delegate From Rustgard's printed speech alleged to have been delivered in Ketchikan.
 His reference of course was di- rectly against William L. Paul who is charged with failing to pass . discriminatory tax law against nonresident fishermen in 1925.
 Tn that year, the liberal or Progressive Republican forces under Paul's leadership, com manded only votes out of IS in the House. And yet, until with in 20 minutes of the final vote on this bill, MT. Paul had NINE votes pledged for the bill. Then it was that JOHN RUSTGARD at his own request, presented by N. o. Hardy, now a high official in the Bureau of Fisheries, SPOKE AGAINST THE PASS AGE OF THE BILL, and the bill was lost by the vote of to 8. Who betrayed the fishermen?

William PauI's Record

William L. Paul never sought leadership" in the House. By the force of circumstances, by his ability as a speaker, his training as a lawyer, and his courage and independence, he became a leader of his party in the Legislature. Tn the 1925 session, the liberal party num- bered only SIX. Even so, but for the opposition of Attorney General Rustgard, the important bill protecting resident fisher men would have passed.
 In the 1927 Session, the liberal party numbered nine except on fhe tax measures. But the Sen ate stood four to four. 1t was in the Senate, and not in the House where Mir. Paul was, that the liberal measures were de- feated.
 MT, Paul was instrumental in correcting many bills, to name out one, he it was who forced the amendment raising the per- centage of compensation from 50 to 65 per cent for injured WOrkmen.
 In view of Mir. Rustgards at tack, it is worthy to note that MT. Paul secured passage of more bills in the 1925 and 1927 Legislature than any other two memebrs of the Legislature.
 The first increase amounting to $10,000 per year in the school refunds, came from his efforts; $2,000 for the Gustavus school; $7,000 for the Yakutat school; $3,500 for the Douglas School; the first markers for the Gasti- neau Channel; the official flag for Alaska; Watchmen's lien on property; the improvement dis trict bill; and many others, be- sides, measures which passed the House but failed in the Senate ike the Women's Community Property Act; elective Treasur- CT; release of the Attorney Gen. eral from the very restraints he now complains of; a liberal school refund bill; Controller Bill; besides he wrote important bills such as repeal of the tax on fur; orphans home; compensa- tion act approved by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor; month fly wage bill, and many others All of which may be verified in the House Journals. If such a record of accomplishing nothing can be duplicated by election of legislators from this primary, then let us have more of them.

During that time there was nev- CT year that business or pleas ure did not call him to the Out side, many times going East as Tar as New York, and to his na- tive state, Pennsylvania.
 He is not an office seeker, for until he ran for Senator in 1926, he never sought or held public office of any kind.
 Can the perennial office seekers and salary grabbers say as much? The Senator has sought to render service of the highest type to the Territory and has done so. Can.his traducers say as much for themselves?
 MT. Steel has continued his residence and voted in the Terri without fail. Last year he was in Seattle as Seattle manager of the Cordova Times All-Alaska Review, editing all the copy for the advertising of all of Alaska and securing advertisements in Seattle to make possible this big undertaking for the develop ment of the Territory.

Record Not Attacked

Senator Will A. Steel has been in the Territorial Legislature for two terms, and has made for himself a record that both his friends and foes admit is eXcep- tionally good. John Rustgard has been one of his strongest boost CTS, until a few months ago, when he realized that the Senat- or was working for his close friend Judge Wickersham. As he could find nothing in the re- cord of the Senator to condemn or criticize, the Attorney General resorts to contemptible, untrUth- ful, personal vituperation. He lays great stress on absence from Alaska and now would like to drive from the Territory the Sen ator and all other good citizens, who fail to support Rustgard for delegate.
 Senator Steel has operated in various parts of the Territory during the past thirty years, in vesting many thousands of dol- lars of his own money and se- curing large sums from other sources for various enterprises.

N. B. C. TO INACCURATE
rs WEEKS OF PLAYS
Coast-to-Coast Network 20 Garry
Series in Which Famous Actors
VIII Take Part.

Inauguration Of q 26-week series Of
educational broadcasts, embracing the
outstanding plays of all time, with the
leading role enacted in many instances
by the actor or actress making the in
dividual play famous, was announced
today by the National Broadcasting Co.
The first play in the new series which
carries the general title Of THE Radio
Guild" will be heard Friday afternoon,
through q coast-to-coast network. The
plays, picked from the reading lists of
secondary schools and colleges, through
out the United States, are planned to
form an extra-curricular course in
dramatic literature.
Margaret Anglin, one of the worlds
outstanding actresses, will inaugurate
the new series with the Greek tragedy
"Iphigenia in Aulis," by Euripides. The
same group Of actors under the direc-
ton of Vernon Radcliffe, who made the

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

rabbits in Northern Canada. In
the popular mind almost every
world catastrophe has sooner or
later been attributed to sun spots,
from a Florida hurricane to the
great World War, both of which,
by the way, did eliminate around
a Sun-Spot maximum"
Magnetism, Northern-Light dis
plays and radio reception, DR..
Stetson points out, have been
definitely shown to be related to
sun-spot activity. Proof that radio
reception is affected by this &C
tivity has been established
through long periods of observa-
ton on broadcasting stations and
has definitely shown a rise and
decrease simultaneously with the
fall and increase of Sun-Spot &C
tivity. The station used in the
tests was WBBM, in Chicago, and
reception has been checked in
Massachusetts,.
1t is recalled that when broad
casting first gained impetus, the
major interest of listeners was to
receive only distant stations. In
1928 reception conditions were
ideal and listeners were able to
tune in signals from extreme dis
tant points. AS broadcaSting prog
resSed, distant stations seemed
to be less numerous and listeners
contented themselves with the re-
ception of local stations. Today,
with the sensitive and Selective
receiving sets available and high
empowered broadcaSting stations,
even greater distances may be
predicted as minimum activity is
approached in 1884.
FAR from being depressed, the
broadcasting business is in an
exceedingly healthy state, judging
from the income reports OF the
national network organizations.
No figures are compiled as to the
amount Of business done by indi-
vidual stations, but the chains
make regular monthly reports.
Income to the National Broad
casting Co. and the Columbia
BroadcaSting System from time
sold to advertisers during the nrSt
nine months of 1880 amounted to
$18, 798,359. This compares with
their combined income Of $18,-
729,5 ST. in the whole Of 1929 and
$1O,252, ACT in 1928.
These figures also are exclusive
of the cost of program talent,
from which the chains, which now
have become among the largest
talent booking agencies in the
country, derive a neat income.
The $18,798,359 for the nine
months ending September 80, 1890,
already constitutes a record year
for chain broadcasting, with the
prospects excellent that both
chains will exceed their previous
average monthly incomes during
the remaining three months. The
nine months income Of N. B. G.
was $14, 161 ,875, while G. B. s. had
an income Of $4,636, 484 for the
first nine months of this year.
The N. B. G. average monthly
income this year has exceeded
81 $50, 900, while the C. 3. IS. aver
age has been slightly over $515, 900
per month.

SARMIENTO AND
MONTOYA BOTH
AFTER VICTORY

Old Santa Claus left a present
here yesterday for one of two boys,
but whether it is Pete Sarmiento or
Ramon Montoyo that is to get it,
will not be known until they have
finished their bout at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club tonight.
The present Santa left is victory.
Pete and Ramon both want it but
only one can have it. OF course, if
the bout ends in a draw, we will
have to think up some other alibi
as way out.
Montoya already has one decision
over Pete but will have to work
hard to get another tonight. After
a lay-off of two years, Pete has been
staging great comeback in the
local arena, and he would like very
much to take Montoya apart to see
what makes him run.
Two weeks ago Montoya took the
decision over in San Diego from
Chalkie Wright, when most of the
pickers figured Ramon was due for
trouncing. He is rated one of the
best bantams on the Pacific coast
and being former Brawley boy he
has big following in the valley.
Another popular boxer is Young
David, who will fight in the semi
final with Pete Suniga as his oppon-
ent. David staged a great bunch
of fights here earlier in the year but
