As Blows the Political StraWs

ing much in the open yet. R., N. Scruby of Wrangell, J. E. John son, MT. Hanson of Ketchikan On the republican ticket are out spoken in the abolish the trap plank. J. w. Kehoe of the Demo- crats is out with a strong state ment in like vein. The balance of the candidates are yet laying low-but the time is shortening when they will be spreading their wares before the public.
 Word from the Westward in oicates that Paul is going to run strong. That the three-cornered fight between Rustgard, Truiut and Paul is not going to be . trade" for anybody nor will any one be a stalking horse" in this battle. If Paul carries much strength in Ketchikan and his usual strength in Juneau, he has a mighty good chance of being elected PrognoSticators already indicate that John Rustdard might as well fold up his politi- cal tents and return to private life. Truitt has a chance-ad- nnitted by the worried Juneau politicians who have used and abused Paul for several years. But which use and abuse will be discontinued hereafter. T h 2 Alaska Native Brotherhood will have considerable to say in this matter and Paul will have no voice nor choice in the matter.
 In some sections Wickersham las gained strength and in other sections he has lost strength He was elected two years ago by 326 votes and if he does not gain strong support in the First Divi- sion, the hopes of the Republi- can party are gone. However Wickersham is an old warrior and no doubt will profit by the mistakes of his opponent.

fish traps were at present legal
 having been expressly approved by Congress-" Yet this same congress provided that where any person or corporation might fish any individual might fish
 The nature of the trap is a spe- cial privilege and no person may fish within 300 feet in any direc-
 tion of a trap. Any lawyer knows
 that the traps are illegal-and that the cannery system slipped
 up when Dan Sutherland incor- porated the non-special privil-
 ege in the bill. Rustgard's failure
 to protect the interests of the
 territory is either because o1
 ignorance of the law or else he is owned body and soul by the canning corporations.
 Why P. E. Harris Endorsed Hini
 Why P. E. Harris endorsed him for judge, T don't know" is the best answer John can give tc that question. And then h. points back many years to when he prosecuted Harris for a minor violation of the law-but the fact is Harris and any other can nery will not support Rustgard because of Rustgard himself or the principles he used to stand for. AlaSkans do not need to be told who the cannery system is supporting or will support or why. Certainly, all know that the canners will never support any man who is honestly and vigorously protecting the inter .ests of the territory.
 Last January word from Wasn- ington indicated that "a prorlin- Ient cannery man had requested ia senator to support Rustgard for judge" John tried to make out that WickerSham, President Hoover and Abtoney General Mitchell were in a conspiracy to

The Root of All Evil

John T. Flynn, has an article
 in Golfers, Weekly on money
 with it's many vagaries. He points
 out that there is plenty of
 money in the banks and thaC
 the farmers, owing to lack of
 money have been forced to bor-
 row from banks. The banks are
 calling in loans which necessari- ] y means the bankrupting of the farmers-and others. That the reasons the call varies in diff ierent sections.
 In Alaska the Territorial funds
 are being withdrawn from the banks. No banker will deny this.
 The territorial treasurer in his report to the last legislature was S300,000 off in his figures so the Legislature did not change the revenue bill. Now, in order to meet current expenses, the terri tory is withdrawing it's funds from the banks. This territorial
 fund Thas been part of the bank reserves. AS the Territory puts the squeeze on the banks, the banks in turn are forced to call in loans made to corporations and individuals. These facts are
 undeniable. This was the situa- tion which caused the failure of the Hyder Bank. No other reason can be attributed--the Hyder bank recently paid 50 per cent on deposits showing that they had considerable stock and bonds to cover deposits. But, the demand of the territory took

From the north comes Whisp- CTS of the campaign of both parties. Juneau is buzzing, boil ing, whirling like a malstrom. Republicans fighting Republi- cans like Kilkenny cats. Repuh- cans wanting harmony" and the amalgamation of "all forms but unwilling themselves to be annealed. On the surface, il would appear that there is coming to be real harmony in the Republican ranks through the leadership of MT. Rasmuson, national committeeman. Under meath the forces are pickering and fighting and trying to trade without giving anything in re- turn. Republicanism is not all wool nor a yard wide and the various strands are being ripped cut by the same selfish rule or ruin interests which have always played havoc with the party.
 From ketchikan comes word of much the opposite in the Democratic ranks. Dimond, de- naocratic nominee for Delegate to Congress was nigh killed bv an airplane and immediately George Grigsby offers his service to carry on the campaign; so does A. H. Ziegler. Dimond, out of the hospital expects to con- tlnue in the north with Grigsby being the warhorse in the South. There might be disharmony in the ranks of the democrats but if so, they are keeping it mighty quiet.
 Wickersham claims a good majority in the territory he has covered. Democrats claim that they have him be c II but watch out, the old man is car rying on a clever campaign" The legislative tickets are not nov

funds which the bank could not immediately raise through froz- en assets. AS the bank gets time, it will be able to meet all it's obligations but at a considerable loss in the value of it's bonds.
 Cash Cole pointed out the error of the Treasurer's figures but John Rustgard Scoffed the Auditors figures and declared that "there is no danger of any shortage" of territorial funds. The banks are in strong posi- tion-but the sudden demands upon them force them in turn to make demands upon those who have loaned. Which condi- ton and situation should not be at this time of economic dis tress in the country.

Poor Old Honest John" Foreets That
 His Record Bellies His Word

John Rustgard, candidate for the office of attorney general for the territory, purports to answer several questions which were asked Tn our columns sev- eral weeks ago. He first digress by accusing us of being a per- sonal organ of William L. Paul Independent candidate for the same office. MT. Paul is not and has not been connected with the Alaskan or the Alaska Fisher man for several years. He has no voice or direction in the man. agement or editorial policy Of either publication. The publica- tions are owned by the Alaska Native Brotherhood, of which he is a member--and naturally, it will support MT. Paul in prefer ence to Honest John."
 As to the stiffness and falsity of the questions and statements in said article-the records alone will bear witness. First: Why did Rustgard defend the fish trust on the tax bill? Rustgard denies as utterly false" any allegation that he defended the fish trust BUT on motion of MT. Hardy later rewarded for this service by appointment as fishery warden, MT. Rustgard appeared before the legislature and it was his argument which defeated the graduated tax on trap caught salmon. No member of the le gislature at that time will Geny the verity of this state nlent. The question of tax on nonresident fishermen was not the issue-the issue was grad uated tax on trap caught salm- on and Rustgard's argument de- feated that bill.
 "Fish Traps LegaP'

ed the matter over and Johr said that Tt will further my ill., terest in the race if he does moi withdraw" So Paul remained in the race.
 Rustgard hoped to use Paul for a stalking horse" then. A. bout three weeks ago Paul was called to Juneau to a politica conclave and there it was sug |gested that he withdraw to per init Rustgard a clear field. Paul refused to give an answer until h1s constituents had opportuni- (tv to consider the matter. Paul was advised that "YOu can take Iyour licking standing up and if lyou withdraw from this race you will have allowed yourself to be murdered politically" Paul will not be a stalking horse fo, John Rustgard. AS to being Q stalking horse for Truitt-is is
 there anyone so foolish as to be-
 lieve that Paul will play second fiddle to Truitt?
 1 Does Paul expect anybody tC
 buy him out? There were cer-
 tain conditions under which the lAlask Native Brotherhood
 would support Rustgard: One that he pay his proportionatt
 share of the political expense
 two, that he state positively his
 position in favor of the fisher
 men against the traps. Afte'
 John had donated $150 to tht
 Republican Party recently ir
 Juneau, with the expectation
 that he had bought the suppor
 of the Brotherhood, someone re marked that T saw blood oozins
 out of his shoes as he walked ul Ithe street"
 Since twelve years ago, Pau
 has supported Rustgard for of

 wish onto him $l0,000 year job. That canneryman was Harris and the senator was Jones of Washington. Certainly Wicker sham did not support him for Wickersham denied having any, thing to do with the nomination.
 Why he accused Hoove1' of conspiracy he denies well, well, we'll! Honest John" does deviate from the truth consider able here-his statement in the Juneau Empire was certainly net credited to Paul, wherein he charged that he was a victim of conspiracy. And as an after thought, we mention that the form in which it was printed was not the original in which Rustgard accused high officials of conspiracy. AS to Paul and President Hoover-no one ac- crses Paul of losing opportunity Ito extend the battle against the fish traps. As Secretary of Com merce, MT. Hoover had plenty of Opportunity to do much good for the territory. He listened to Henry O'Malley and on this mis- information, made regulations and even parceled out the west ward territory to the canner's lcenef1t. Paul never denies that and no one-save perhaps, Rust gard and his ilk do blame him for fighting such a battle.
 The Attorney General and l Auditor
 There is on file in the office lCf the Territorial auditor much correspondence in which Attorn ev General Rustgard has stret- ched by various contortions t1 protect the office of the Terri ,torial Treasurer wherein petty raids were being made. The re- cord is very evident in the trans portation cases in Juneau last year; in the bank of Hyder case wherein a referee was appointed and not according to law. The way John does hedge and twist Iand squirm in some of his lega
 opinions would make first class : lcontortionist of hinl-if he wer$ lLot John Rustgard.
 Is Paul Sailing Horse John Rustgard wants to know If William L. Paul is a stalline horse for the democratic candi- date for attorney general-tht : office for which all three mer , are running.
