General Election September 10, 1940

Do You Sign Blank Checks?
Of course you don't! No sane person does. \et
that is exactly what the politicians wo want the Liquor Ref
erendum to pass are asking YOU to do.
The Referendum Ballot merely says “Territorial
control of intoxicating beverages by the establishment of
Territorial liquor stores.”
Does that tell you which of 23 monopoly systems
Alaska will get if you sign the BLANK CHECK on Election
Day, September 10th? It certainly does not!
We citizens of Alaska have a right to know’ in
advance what we are voting for. We have the right to know
WHO arc slated to get the big jobs on the Territorial Liquor
Monopoly Board, what their salaries will he, how many
agents, examiners, inspectors, under-cover men and stool
pigeons will be hired, and what their wages will be. We
have a right to know IN ADVANCE a lot of things we are
not being told by those who favor Territorial monopoly of
liquor. WHAT’S MORE—THEY WON'T TELL! We signed
a Blank Check in 1917 and got the Alaska Bone Dry Law.
Do you want to do it again?
Don't be misled by high-sounding phrases—Vote
AGAINST political control of liquor in Alaska. Alaska has
Territorial control of liquor under laws passed by the Legis
lature and regulations issued by the Treasurer. Alaska is
now getting a higher net revenue from regulated liquor
sales than the average of the monopoly states. Alaska gets
$3.31 net per capita, at a collection cost of only 36 cents,
compared with most monopoly states of less than $2.60 at a
collection cost of One Dollar.
Know what you are voting for. We have a RIGHT
to know. Don’t vote blindly! Don't bring back the Bootlegger.
Vote AGAINST (X) the Referendum, September 10th and prevent
political control of liquor and loss to all taxpayers.

SWEDISH WRITER LEAVES
EUROPE; AMERICA BETTER
—
One more month of successful
defense against the Nazi hordes
and Great Britain will take the
upper hand in the battle of Eu
rope, is the belief of Krister Kuy
lenstierna, Swedish author who
passed through Juneau with his
wife aboard the Aleutian recent
ly
Six months ago when it be
came evident that Sweden was
held in a merciless grip by Ger
many and Russia, history writer
Kuylenstierna packed a few be
longings and with his wife came
to America to seek a place to
live.
They have traveled through
the United States, Central Am
erica and South America. Now i
they are going to sec Alaska, and
might even possibly take up resi
dence in the North.
“This is such a free and peace
ful country compared to Europe
—you can't realize how much we
love it.”
Hitler cannot long exist in war
if Britain maintains an effective
blockade, the Swedish visitor I
from Saro declared, emphasizing
that Germany’s oil stores for pros
ecution of a mechanical war are!
■•• + +++ + + + + +++ +++ + + + + 4*+•!••«• + +
“very likely" near the point of
exhaustion.
As to the blockade, and Europe
as a place to live, Kuylenstierna
answered in a single breath, “Ten
million will starve in Europe this
winter. It is a lunatic asylum.”
