PATTERSON HAS
LONG RECORD
AS LEGISLATOR
Senator from Valdez Stands
Firmly for Best In
terest of Territory

James H. Patterson, Democrat,
of Valdez, junior Senator frol- the
Third Division, comes to the SEN
ate this year with a long record
of service in the Territorial Legis-
lative body behind him.
Senator Patterson served in the
Fourth, Eleventh and Twelfth ses-
sions of the Legislature as a mem
Der of the House of representatives
and brings to his first term in the
Senate long record as a Terri
torial lawmaker
He brings, also, pretty clear idea
of the legislation which he believes
should be enacted during the coming
session.
While at one time Senator Patter-
son favored the immediate and abb
solute adjustment of fish traps, it
is his belief now that they should
be gradually eliminated, with view
to allowing fishermen and industry
alike an opportunity to adjust them
selves to fish trap abolition.
Fer Social Security
Senator Patterson is a strong
advocate for increased pensions for
the aged. The Social Security Act,
he believes, is step in the right
direction and eventually should
prove of benefit to the Territory
He also is interested in reason
able tax on gold gross production
Much of this tax. it is Senator Pat
terson's belief, would go back to the
mining operator in road develop
ment and increased transportation
facilities.
II would like to see the Territory
given a chance to run its own bus
mess, with eventual statehood in
mind. Given this opportunity,
believe the Territory would acquit
itself well. that eventually we would
have full statehood" Senator Pat
terson declared.
I'VE should have more control OF
the fisheries, game and forestry OF
the Territory Especially should the
forests be opened more generally to
the public and inducements made
to assist in providing Alaska with
a more permanent population.
4 Alaska Conditions Good
Senator Patterson has found con-
ditions in Alaska very good. Espec-
tally noticeable, he said, was the
increase in gold mining that has
brought with it gradual increase
in populaticn-so gradual, he add
ed, that it is hardly observable
but important to business through
out the Territory.
Transportation is one problem
that confronts all the people of Al
aska at this time" Senator Patter.
son said. Particularly have trans.
portation difficulties hindered TIT
prospector who gives part of his yea
to mining and part to creating {
grubstake for the coming year. II
spite of this, however, I believe tina
the mining industry offers the bes
opportunity to those seeking invest
ment in Alaska at this time
Matanuska, Senator Paterson be
lieves, is a success. What we need
and eventually will have, especial.

colony has been established, is NOR

of his residence in the Territory in

has served as Mayor, member of

Adds Support to Efforts OF
Governor in Radiogram
to Delegate Dimond

Supporting Gov. John w. Troy

endorsement of the following wire,
which we would ask that you pres
ent to Hon. Harold L Ickes, Sec
Rotary of Interior, on our behalf;
ION behalf Of our fifteen men,
Der Chambers situated throughout
Alaska. we wish to express appre-
citation for emergency boat service
given certain sections of this Ter
ritory through operation by Alaska
Railroad. However, this infrequent
and inadequate beat service has
not relieved shortages OF food,
clothing. coal, drugs, etc, in many
sections nor has the class OF boats
used served in any way to relieve
passenger congestion at many ports
and between Alaska and contin-
entail United States.
Merchants and business men
whose business requires them to go
to the States are unable to secure
transportation and likewise business
men and citizens in States are
unable to return home. Travel be-
tween ports in Alaska is also in
terrupted and regular court session

Division has been unable to meet
on account Of lack of transporta-
ton. Our operating mines are Sc
riously needing supplies and equip
ment and very shortly our fishing
industry must be sending supplies
north if that industry is to operate
this year.
Therefore, on behalf OF our
citizens we respectfully urge that

mediately augmented with regular
weekly sailings from Seattle to
Southeast and Southwest Alaska
ports, and that vessels caapble Of

Too Smart for Good


That really was a grind. And
I, unfortunately, carried the brunt
aof it. Having a peculiar faculty
for learning lines easily, I always
drew the biggest part. Half the
time the director simply picked
out the part with the most pages
and tossed it to me.
What q life! Trying to learn
one show in three days is bad
enough. But when you have to
learn a new one every three days,
that's piling it on too heavy. And
it was impossible to study ahead.
We had three rehearSalS and that
was all. After the last one we
had to be ready to go on.

(which boosted me to stardom.

i worked, doing all sorts Of charaO-
ter bits. Eventually my salary rose
to 5000 week-whenever I worked
o full week, which was seldom.
Then came the catastrophe. In
1923 my calls started dropping off
a'until I was getting virtually no
work at all. If you've ever been
sin such spot, you know what a
problem 1t is.
In due time Fate cast me in the
role Of truck driver for building
materials concern. It was necessary
to learn to drive in order to get
the job, but two days practice
turned the trick, well enough any
sway.
r I drove that truck for a year and
o half before ever getting another
studio call. How fortunate I hadn't
decided to go on q diet while wait
ing for that call. Besides that, the
truck driving was excellent expert.

Game to u. S. in 1909

Born and reared in England,
. came to this country in 1909 by
way of Canada. Consequently, I

by the thrilling sight of the Statue

sAS q matter of fact, I never even
had a glimpse Of New York until

worth.
e My chief reason for leaving
England was because I didn't want
