SAFETY OF ALASKAN INVESTMENTS
The annual report of the officers and directors of the
Alaska Packers Association not only casts more roseate
tinge over the canning situation, but reveals a minimum
of shrinkage in assets as compared with those of other in
dustries where securities enter in.
According to the figures submitted, securities val
ues on v capitalization of $7,500,000 have decreased in
market value but $109,198.38. On this capitalization the
association has paid in dividends $7,485,553, and lists its
book value of plants, terminals and California real es
tate at $5,125,774.80. *
In addition to the $7,485,553 paid to stockholders, the
sum of $3,272,828 has been transferred to surplus, mak
ing total earrings above operating expenses $10,758,381
since the establishment of the association in 1893.
For the yen” 1932 losses are listed as $1,391,044.35
under the head of miscellaneous, and $169,198.38 in se
curities value, making the net loss for the year $1,560,242.
Commenting upon the outlook in the canned salmon
market, the report says:
“During the past season the markets for canned sal
mon have beer fairly active.
“Notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions pre
vailing. together with extremely low price of exchange,
exports have been good and the outlook for future for
eign business is very promising.
“Present stocks, particularly red salmon, are not ex
cessive and should be nearly, if not completely, consum
ed before the new 1933 pack arrives.”
This report coming on the heels of the Association
of Pacific Fisheries of Seattle, painting a gloomy picture
and a bearish tinge, places an entirely new construction
on the canned salmon business. The report further em
phasizes the value of Alaskan investments whether in
fisheries or other natural resources.
ALLEGED CALIFORNIA GRAFT
_
As mayor of San Francisco, James Rolph, Jr., made
the city safe fo>* law-abiding citizens and unhealthy for
racketeers. His administration was characterized as one
of the best in th° United States.
Rolph eliminated graft as it was known under many
of his predecessors and gave the city a clean bill of health. j
But now if appears that, as Governor, he has come
a cropper like many of hi& predecessors in the office.
Jut there are distinctions in graft—legalized and :
venal. If has become a part of the American political sys
tem, and few men have survived politically and many
perished phvsicaUy who sought to effect a change.
Mayor German, who now lies wounded at Miami,
is ine of these. And simply because our political firma
ment is studded with the dishonest instead of the worthy
and commendable.
Possibly Governor Rolph’s greatest offense is dis- j
crimination in unwittingly passing around opportunities, j
Possibly, if these opportunities for graft had gone to the j
right pockets, there would have been no furore.
It is not necessary to stress all activities to the sup
pression of illegal graft. Rather it is a question of elimi
nating the graft which is provided for those who seek
office only lor the purpose of enriching themselves, enact
laws permitting raids upon the public treasury and are
brought to book only when they fail to exercise judge
ment in passing around the graft.

MORTON CONFIDENT
BE NAMED JUDGE OF
THE THIRD DIVISION
In the interests of his candidacy
for Judge of the Third Division,
Attorney Harry F. Morton passed
through the city Sunday enroute
to Washington, D. C., and New
(York, where he will remain for
possibly two or three months.
Attorney Morton, who is presi
dena of the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce, said he would be
happy to assist Seward in any way
while in the East; that letters ad
dressed to Delegate-Elect to Con
gress A. J. Dimond, at Washing
ton, will reach him
He feels that already Alaska is
beginning to feel the effects of the
incoming Democratic administra
tion in a helpful way and that the
coming years appear extremely
bright.
Armed with the endorsation of
the Democratic party divisional
support, Territorial backing and
that of 12 Senators and other in
fluential men in the East and
West, Attorney Morton is confi
dent of receiving the judicial ap- j
pointment in this division.
TAKEN SOUTH
Gus Hoseth, alleged to be in
sane, was taken south on Sunday’s
steamer. Hoseth was brought to
Anchorage by plane from Bristol
Bay, thence to Seward on Satur
day’s train. It is reported he tried
to escape and commit suicide sev
eral times, once jumping over a
60-foot cliff.
Sgt. E. H. Thueson, in charge of
the Valdez Signal Corps office,
was a roundtrip passenger on the
tSS Alaska, for the purpose of un
dergoing a physical examination
in the Seward General Hospital
while the liner lay in port.
Among the Seward aggregation
of basketball rooters to leave with
the City teams Sunday for An
chorage were Warren Hall, Mrs.
Gullufson, Mrs. F. C. Leslie, Mrs.
G. Manthey and Ernestine Jessen. j

FOB HOST ms
Application for citizenship was
formally made last fall by Delim
ir Sobol, well known and popular
young miner of Hope, and he ar
rived in Seward Saturday to de
clare his intention and obtain
first papers from Assistant Clerk
of the Federal Court, Wm. Whittle
sey.
Sobol had to “mush” 45 miles i
to the railroad in order to reach ]
Seward and will have to do like- '
wise returning home, but distance
means nothing to this fine ap- ,
pearing young man, a native of
Jugo Slavia, whose only ambition
is to become a citizen of this great
country.
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stuart and
son Warren, prominent residents
of Valdez, arrived here Saturday.
