from inaccurate tr~anslatlons or

The land office was organized In

exception OF field notes written by
American surveyors, all the papers

in later day law suits. Mis-transla-

THE WAYS OF A NOTORTCr.'S
 LOBBY sST

Many people of the Territory are beginning to wonder just what the duties of Dr. Bunnell, the $6,OOO per year president of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. There are others who know him as the most persistent lobbyist in all Alaska, and there are others who think his duties require his pre- 'sence in Washington every win ter.
 AS a matter of fact, pr. Bun nell is employed for educational purposes and to try to build up an Alaska enrolment at the Col lege. This of course is uphill work, but the Doctor likes his frequent trips to Juneau, Seattle and Washington. They are usu- ally taken during the winter tune, when he Is supposed to be busy at the College.
 But with his staff of twenty or more the 60 or 70 pupils at the College are looked after all right, but well or otherwise is a question. Of course the Doctor is making these trips at the ex- pense of the Territory, and there can be no questions asked be- cause Attorney General Rust gard has given the opinion that Territorial appropriation must be paid in lump sums to the Treasurer of the College, to be expended as the Doctors wild est dream suggests.
 When Juneau sought to send 2 special attorney to Washing ton to look after legislation and appropriated $2.0O0 to pay the expense, Emery Valentine sought

AUDITOR CASH COLE IS A
 WORTHY OFFICIAL

Before the office of auditor for the Territory of Alaska was created the expenditure of pub- lie funds was, to an extent, a I1ree-for-all. Money was appro- priated to the different depart ments and was expended by of- fcials without any particular reference as to whether 1t was being judiciously or legally ex- pended. And there are instanc- cs where money has been taken from other appropriations to pay for charges and accounts where the regular appropria-. tions had been exhausted. But all this ended. when the office of Auditor was created by the last Legislature. A careful and scrupulously clean young man, Cash Cole, had been elect. ed Auditor by the Legislature He was placed under bond of $25, ,000, and he has been very. careful to see that his sureties are not held to account for any carelessness or illegality upon his part. As a result many ir- regularities have been called to the attention of officials who okayed various accounts, with the result that corrections have been made and the law com piled with.
 Now that he has been tested and proven worthy, 1t should be with great pride that the voters of the Territory would give their endorsement to the ad- ministration of Cash Cole as Auditor. If efficiency and scru- pulous honesty counts for any thing, there should be no ques- tion as to the nomination of MT. Cole at the Republican primar-s ies on April 29, 1880. The Audit or has many duties to perform, but perhaps the most important are set forth in the first para graph of section 6 of the new law If 1929, which reads as follows:
 "The Auditor shall audit and allow all claims or demands which are just and true and 3 legal charge against the. Terri tory and for the payment of which appropriation has been made by the Legislature. For all claims allowed he shall draw warrant upon the Treasurer in favor of the claimant, which warrant shall designate the ap- propriation or fund against which .! Is drawn, and before being presented t. the pave: shall b. countersigned by the. Treasurer"

 rendered the Territory during the past nine years land at cost of $45000 for his own salary and about the same amount for office fixtures, he lis soon stumped in his investigations. True, ne has tried and won a few important law suits Ithat tended to substantiate the validity of Leg1s- lative enactments, but any ordinary lawyer lcould have done that, and possibly at much less IcOSt.
 Then it must not be overlooked that the Att Itorney General has written many opinions as to 1the duty of officials under certain given clrcum- lstances But most of them have been disregard led And certainly he has been of little assist lance to the Legislature. Usually his bills have been drawn in form incorrect or had so many Iiokers in them that they seldom received serious 
 For several sessions John Rustgard submit ted voluminous probate code but it was so cum lberscne and covered so wide field that uSuallythe Judiciary Committee could make no recommend ation concerning it before the session adjourned He would not seek to remedy any particular wrong but most of his measures sought to correct Ian entire subject and in just the way that John jRustgard decided should be done which was usually different from anybody else's idea.
  Legislature, the Governor did not seem to appre- ciate the fact that he should attend the session or be available to sign the last hour measures. He just didn't know and the Attorney General, whose business it was did not inform him. AS a conse- quence IS measures were not signed until after adjournment, thus invalidating those laws.
 But John Rustgard was interested in seeing that the general appropriation bill was signed, oic nd he was quite active in locating the Governor to see that this measure was legally signed. But other important measures were no concern of his. This is an example of Johns efficiency What person ally affects him is of vital concern but what is for the good of the Territory is more likely to re- ceive merely shrug of the shoulders. King John can not be bothered with ordinary affairs unless it be his real business of running for political office.
 And yet this same John Rustgard is ambitious to represent the Territory in the halls of Congress at Washington. With his indecision Kngly airs, and changeable views, it is question whether he could really accomplish anything substantial for Alaska. But we rather imagine that his great ob- ject in seeking to go to inc National Capital would be to secure large salary, Whether he could earn it not would be minor consideration
 Ever since he was elected Attorney General, John has sought to desert his post, have the Gov Iernor appoint his successor and he to receive the salary of Judge or Delegate. He seems to have no conception of the duty he owes the electors of Alaska of serving out his term for which he was elected. He talks loudly of favoring elective ofhc CTS but wants the personal privilege of jumping his own job at any time he can get larger salary, and let the Governor appoint his successor for two years, as in the present emergency.
The Alaskan., 1930-03-07
JOHN STANDS ON HIS DIGNITY

As candidate for Delegate to Congress, John Rustgard favors construction of the International Highway "as soon as definite steps are taken by the Canadians to meet us at the boundary line. " The average Alaskan is for the Highway and he is willing to exert his influence to induce the Can adan Government to join with us in working out the problem of construction. But John would stand his dignity and do nothing until this great beneficial measure was assured of success What we need is worker at Washington, not a poser.
