COLE ABIDES BY APPEAL OF
THE BOARDS RULING BUT
EXPLAINS POSITION
In a statement given to the Ju
neau Empire on December 1, Cash
Cole, Territorial Auditor, announc
ed that he would abide by the de
cision of the Territorial Board of
Examiners in the 11 contested
claims on which the Board recently
rendered decisions overruling the
Auditor. Warrants for settlement
have been prepared and transmit
ted to the Treasurer for payment.
“After due consideration this of
fice has decided to abide by the
decision of your Board/' he said
in a letter to the Board. “It first
seemed that my responsibility was
still held, but further thought leads
me to believe that the responsibility
is now yours as to whether or not
the findings are in accordance with
the facts.”
A detailed review of the several
claims, together with the policy of
the Auditor with rerpset to each, is
contained in Mr. Cole’s statement
to the Empire which is critical of
the Board’s action in the matter.
He differs sharply with it in his
outlook on the financial condition
of the Territory, the advisability of
following the legal opinion of the
Attorney General in the settlement
of Territorial accounts in general
and maintains his original objec
tions to settlement of the claims in
question.
Regarding the financial outlook,
Mr. Cole asserted that his survey
of the situation, which was based
on expenditures for the first seven
months of the current biennium
and the necessary expenditures
that must be made for the remain
ing 17 months, demonstrates clear
ly that it will require $271,566.76
more to conduct the government to
the end of the biennium than the
Territory can possibly recover from
all sources.
He challenged the reasoning of
the Attorney General which sup
ported an opinion that all liabilities
incurred during a calendar year
must be paid off before those in
curred in succeeding periods could
be settled. In the present state of
the Territorial Treasury, he assert -
! ed, to follow this policy would re
| suit in suspension of Territorial aid
1 to schools, payment of pensions
. and all other necessary government
I al activities for the first six months
i of 1933.
! He insisted that the appropria
| tion measures of the Legislature
[ are based upon a biennial period

rather than upon any system of
calendar of fiscal years. This, he
asserted, must be taken into con
sideration of payment of operating
expenses to the end that sufficient
funds be available at all times for
the payment of primary claims, un
der which are classed schools, pen
sions, etc. In order to achieve this,
it will be necessary to defer pay
ment of the secondary claim until
all preferred ones have been satis
fied, he contended.
Mr. Cole disagreed with the
Board’s conclusion that the Auditor
was not empowered to review the
actions of other officers and boards
as long as they are properly per
forming the functions with which
they are charged by law. Mr. Cole
analyzed in some detail the claims
in question, giving the reasons that
impelled him to defer or reject pay
ment.
“The Territorial Treasury may
not now be empty, but it will be as
‘bare as Mother Hubbard’s Cup
board’ before the end of the bien
nial period,” declared Mr. Cole.
“The last Legislature appropriated
about $250,000 more than the an
ticipated revenues from all sources
We are prohibited by the Organic
law from incurring indebtedness
Therefore, when the Treasury is
empty, the Territorial government
must shut up shop.
“The logical thing to have done
was to have eliminated about $250,
000 from our expenditures. This
hasn't been done.
“The responsibility of keeping
sufficient funds in the Treasury to
operate the government, Mr. Rust
gard has said in an opinion, ‘be
longs to the Auditor.’ With thia
understanding, I advised the Gov
ernor it was necessary to hmit ex
penditures to balance the budget,
endeavoring to show him if funds
were spent at the average rate pro
i vided by the appropriations be De -

WHEN WINTER COMES
IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremend
ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and
other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
Not very likely!
But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that
played all summer without a thought of the cold
days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing
famine, months before spring comes around again?
Certainly not!
When wintry winds are blowing their coldest,
and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on
the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy
strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus
from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies
against the barrenness of winter has gone forever.
It has passed when America ceased to be a lot of
scattered communities, and became a nation united
by swift line of transportation.
As you read the advertisements telling you just
what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order,
remember that here are the inexhautible store
rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished
forever the anxieties that went with the snows of
yesteryear.
