platform, the meeting being more in
the form of a good will and get-to-
gether affair, but he did express him
self definitely on the power question
and severely criticised the present
tariff law. His address being heard
over the radio and published in the
daily press the Askov American will
not dwell in detail here, but bring
up some of the points now and then
in editorial discussion.
Tariff Law A Barrier.
Governor Roosevelt said that the
high tariff rates in the Hawley-
Smoot law caused the European rates
to go higher and higher and in the
past year on account of the tariff,
the world trade has dropped to less
than 500 of what it formerly was.
He said prosperity exists principally
when goods are exchanged interna-
tionally. One thousand economists
asked President Hoover not to sign
the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill and
warned him what would happen if he
did This was the first time 1000
economists have been known to agree
on one thing, and what they predicted
came true, said the governor.
The governor enlarged on the pow
err question from what he had said
before the newspapermen's meeting
at noon. He gave credit to his dis
tinguished predecessor, Governor AL
fred f. Smith, for having preserved
for the people the waterpower rights
of the state of New York. If reason
able current rates are not maintained
the government can step in and sell
direct to the people. States must have
control of this, he said, and where
transmission lines cross state borders
the national government must be in
control to see that this servant of
man-electric power-is his servant
and not his master.

TRAIN VICTIM
LAID TO REST

but at the first stop telephoned back
to the agent at NickersOn to investi-
gate. Mr.. Douglas, the agent, went
up the track and found him.
The neighbors living close by were
called and they identified him and
notified his brother and conveyed the
sad tidings to his home. The coroner
was called and arrived after midnight
and decided that he had met his death
as described above.
X. e. Hamlin, undertaken of Moose
Lake, was called and arrived at the
charge of the body.
Born in Sweden.
Erick E. Edin was born at Djupsho,
Skorped in the Province of Aanger-
mainland, Sweden, March II, 1873. His
childhood and young manhood was
spent at the homeplace. At the age
of % he immigrated to this country,
where as a workingman he spent five
years, when he returned to his home
land where he bought a piece of land
and started to build up farm. He
was united in marriage to Miss Anna
Olive Olson Feb. 6, 1910. Shortly
after their marriage they sold their
land and together came to the United
States and came directly to Duquette,
where his brother, John had located
some time before. They bought the
place then occupied by the late D.
Champagne, which place they have
built up to a productive farm and a
nice comfortable home. Six children
were born to their union of which one
died in infancy. The five living child
rem are: Signe, now Mrs. Olof Ander-
son, age 90 Edwin, age 10; Jennie
and Einar, twins, age II, and Ragnar,
age II years.
Mr.. Edin was an industrious hard
working man, a good kind neighbor,
always ready with a helping hand and
friendly greeting. Devoted to his
home and family, a true devoted hus-
band, a happy comrade and pal to
his children as we'll as a loving father.
His sudden demise leaves a void that
is felt in the whole community, and a
wound in the hearts of the wife and
children that only time and the pre-
ciOus memories of the happy days
spent together, can heal.
The pallbearers who carried Mr..
Edin's body to its last resting place
were Fred Hedberg, John Ahlm, Gust
af Peterson, Chas. Berger, John Pill
rain and Peder Erickson.
Out of town friends who attended
the funeral were: Mr.. and Mrs. Hell
strom of Proctor, Mrs. Arthur Nordine
of Grasston, Mrs. Swan Hanson and
son, Clifford, of Nora
He leaves behind him to mourn his
untimely death, his wife, three sons
and two daughters, a son-in-law, a
grandson, brother, John Edin and a
sister in Sweden, and a host of friends
who are all sad over this tragedy.
The sincere sympathy of the whole
countryside goes out to the bereaved
family.

The Alaskan., 1932-04-22

During the past several cam paigns William L. Paul, the Alaska Native Brotherhood, the race question have been issues brought forth to befog the can- paign issues. In the present campaign The Alaskan is the target of one of the candidates. The Alaskan is not a self-seek- ing, political dicator nor is it seeking any political favor from any politician. The editor has no use for political preferment, has sought none and desires none now or in the future. Nor is he an issue in this campaign. To waste any effort to create pre-
 judice against the editor or the publica ion is just the taking of so much time from the campaign that should better be spent in talking issues that relate vital
 ly to the welfare of the public

of fact. It was the plan of the party to repeal the primary law. The plank was discussed and it was adopted placing the party Cn record as opposing the pri mary law.
 The trouble now is that the Empire sees the handwriting on the wall. Its candidates are in honor bound to work for repeal of the law else the Democratic platform is without sincerity else it is but a promise without intention of being kept. The work of the Women's Primary Club is functioning and through out the northland echoes of their opposition is being made evident. Those who support re- peal of the law are slated for the discard. Hence the Empire candidates are on the defensive and to protect them the only alibi that it can make is to deliberately make false state mentS. That it does is not sur prising to those who know ard understand the manner in which this protector of the purity and sanctity of the ballot in AlaSka has functiOned in the past and is now working at the present time.
 It was a political mistake to advocate repeal of the primary law. Such effort is opposed to the doctrine of home rule ic Alaska and is foreign to the policy of this paper. Too late the Empire has discovered it's mistake-that it has been listen ing to the voices of misguided Gjscredited political leaders,

born citizens are more indiffer- ent to the demands of a repre- sentative government. They have had the fundamentals of Ameri- can democracy within their reach for so long that they have grown indifferent to their pri- vileges. The newly adopted cit;- zenS, coming away from the rule Of kings and emperors take a more lively interest in the gov- ernment affairs. The newer cit;- zens therefore are upholding American tradition when A. mericans- born of generations, forget those fundamental prin- cfples of liberty and democracy. T. is high time that every citi- zen accepted the duties and obligations as well as the liber- ties and privileges offered by the American system of government. April 18th is the day on which to exercise those duties and to take part in the management of cur own country. To fail to do that duty is to act the part of a poor citizen. There is no room in the country for such.

that come there. I think on the basis of the figures we have here, I do not see where the floating cannery is doing any harm.
 x I think they are get ting all the protection they should want; at the same time, you are putting other laborers to fsgGk that would not other wise be put to work, on the floating cannery. If there were million cases, I would say, Well, that is 25 per cent" or if there were 100000 cases; but as I figure it out
 MT. Lamneck. It is about 1.36 per cent.
 MT. Sirovich. It is not 2 per per cent and, if 1t is fair, I think this statement itself destroys the validity of this bill; because any enterprise or any industry that can be protected to the ex- tent of 98 per cent has all the protection it needs" We Agree with the Congressman
 It is the opinion of this pub llcation and it's many readers that the fishery monopoly has sufficient protection in the laws now and that to send the legal attorney of the Alaska Packers Association to Washington is to do the Territory incalculable harm. Regardless of the kindly personality, the suave manner ard clever maneuvering of MT. Dimond he is not divorced from his corporate connections. And to send him to Washington is not only foolish but an economic suicide for the people of the country

Coats of Various Hues

That day has passed, for the time being, when a political candidate can come before the public for endorsement and be all things to all men. It is point ed out that John Frame was elected Republican national committeeman-having divested himself of his democratic coat. His election was stolen from him by the machination of demo- crats and republicans. Today he is a candidate on the democratic ticket for the office as national committeeman.
 In the past the Juneau Empire has advocated the crossing of democrats into Republican pri r nlaries to nominate the candi- dates most easily defeated in the general election They have out- spokenly advocated such actions in their editorial columns. They admitted and condemned the practice at their recent conven- ton.
 Senator Anthony Dimond is a Democrat-but can he prove that he has remained trl1e to his

the retention of the primary laws; the enactment of women'S community law; the abolition of the domination of the 57 varieties of bureaucratic insti- tutions which infest the land like the lice of Egypt. These are the issues upon which the can didates should declare them selves-principles for which they should seek to secure a solution for the betterment of the Terri tory.
 Forget the Alaskan-"it has no influence" and lis nothing
 but a scandal sheet" Stick tc the issues of the campaign. Why bother with attacking a poor little scandal sheet with nc influence" when the electorate s interested in problems which vitally effect their immediate and future economic existence Stick to facts Clear away the
 smoke with which the campaign is being befOgged.
The Alaskan., 1932-04-22

It has been our observation that on every political issue the great organ of the cannery in tCreStS in Juneau, never has been on the right side of the issue. Whether it be relative to tie fisheries, territorial auton- cmy or legislation of benefit to the Territory, that organ has taken issue against the mass of the population.
 The most recent demonStra-- ton of this fact is the attitude relative to the primary election law. A plank was incorporated in the Divisional convention Of the Democratic party in Peters burg advocating the repeal of the law. A. H. Ziegler and R. N. w ct1hCI OppOSCU II1OoC VISO1 OuSly adoption of this plank but they were defeated and the plank was incorporated.
 Now in a recent issue of that corporate controlled newSprint We find that it "has always favored law-controlled primaries that would prevent the boss ridden backroom or closet cau- GUS from controlling conven- tions. It has always favored le- gislation that would provide for primaries in which every voter - man or Woman-would have an opportunity to cast a ballot"
 In a later editorial-placed without heading at the bottom Of the page, is a statement that the convention did not adopt a plank advocating repeal of that law. All due respect to the writer of that editorial, we assert that il is an absolute mis-statement
The Alaskan., 1932-04-22

The bombardment of the poli- ticians in the primary campaign is reverberating around h C Territory. MT. Grigsby has a. dopted the platform of William L Paul in toto MT. Ziegler has advanced a liberal platform and points to a progressive record as legislature. Dimond points to a fine record" in the legislature and as prominent attorney in the Third Division.
 There is little more to be ex- Hected of the candidates for they have presented their ap- reals for votes. It is the duty of the electorate to turn out and vote at the primaries on April 26th.
 It Is the duty of every citizen, good, bad or indifferent to make an expression of his desires for the government of the territory and the securing of laws favor able for the development of the country. Neglect on the part of even a few may have portentious influence upon the country. It is the observation that American

 Donohue and Dimond-Sena- tor Anthony Dimond, the Mad Anthony" of the Third Division is the paid attorney of the Alaska Packers Association. Henry O'Malley is the bureau cratic representatives of the fishery monopolistic combine of Bristol Bay and other Terri torial waters. The troubles of Alaska have been plenty heavy enough with one representative ir Washington representing the fishery interests-O'Malley is more than all Alaska wants. Yet, not content with having the federal hireling of the fishery combine in Washington, those interests now want Anthony Dimond to go there where fur ther special laws may be enacted for the benefit of the industry to the hurt of the people of Alaska.
 Listen to this from the hear irgs on the Welch Bill, fathered by the Alaska Packers:
 MT. O'Malley. I do not think it is giving a monopoly; I thought a monopoly is when you give it to just one company; but where you have dozens of com panies
 MT. Sirovich. I mean 5 per cent of the total catch given to these floating canneries as a. gainst 95 per cent to the per- manent canneries is a mighty good protection.

That Alleged Conspiracy

the nomination if the Depart ment of Justice was inclined t7 have it made. It has never been said that MT. Rustgard had ever approached or written Delegate Wickersham relative to this ap- rointment. But it is definitely stated that a prominent can- neryman has been active in his effort to secure this nomination and that he (the cannery- man) had undertaken to secure the support of Senator Jones of Washington to that end. Senator Jones did undertake to present the matter to Assistant Attorney General Sisson and as a result MT. Rustgard was nominated as Judge of the Second Division.
 This information has been a. vailable in the office of the Alaskan since the latter part Of January.
 The matter of appointment of Judge Clegg and Judge Hill, also has been pending. For a while the administration was not in- clined to nominate Judge Clegg but the antagonism of the De- partment of Justice was grad ually removed until it acquiesced in naming him as judge of the Fourth and moving Judge Hill to
The Alaskan., 1932-04-22

This is the clever piece of political maneuvering which has caused the Attorney General to doff his hat. It is doubtful that Senator Jones appreciates the attitude of mind which speaks not in appreciation of the in- tiUence and efforts of t h e senior senator from the State of Washington.
The Alaskan., 1932-04-22

Speaking of his nomination for the judgeship of the Second Division, Attorney General John Rustgard is reported as follows: If the present uncomfortable situation was created by design it is a masterpiece; and I dof my hat to whoever, if anybody is designedly responsible.
 The situation as regards MT Rustgard is that he feels that his nomination during the past two weeks was a conspiracy on the part of certain interests, with President Hoover and the United States Senate, to nomi- nate him and then cruelty him on the political cross of the party primaries. If defeated in the primaries, MT. Rustgard feels that his chances for confirma- tion are mighty slim-hence the present uncomfortable posi- tion."
 As a matter of fact it is re- ported that MT. Rustgard was a receptive, if not active candidate for the judgeship at Anchorage. That some of his friends had written Delegate Wickersham about his candidacy and that the Delegate had stated that he would not work in opposition to

the Third. Resignation of Judge Lomen, whose appointment also was up, came after it was evident that sufficient opposi- tion had been raised to prevent confirmation of his nomination The office therefore was open in Nome and MT. Rustgard having t h e endorsement of Senator Jones and the Department of Justice, was named as judge at Nome

party at all times in the past several years-1926 in particu- lar?
 It strikes us that he played the game as the Juneau gang sters required but he has always been suave enough, clever enough not to permit any of their gumminess to stick to any part of him. But the fact re- mains, he played their game - and the Empire has never been right on issues in which the en- tire electorate was interested.
