The following is from Edmund OBob) Lane of Ketcfikan, Republi- can candidate for the lower House Of the Legislature:
 I was born in Ketchikan in 1909 and have lived here continuously except for three brief trips outside. I am a boat owner and fisherman at the present time.
 I believe in the curtailing of the waste of public money, and there is lots of it, and the elimination of useless boards or commissions that are being created all the time to provide jobs or pensions for political fayorites.
 My views on the canned salmon industry are that the Territorial government should cooperate with the industry to the fullest. This has not been done, because it is absentee owned.
 Let us not forget that the pulp mills too will be absentee owned, and when we show active resent ment against the canned salmon industry, we are discouraging the establishment of pulp mills or any other large industry.
 The chief function of government should be to govern, and we have strayed far from this ideal.
