cent of the entire appropriation. '
“When the Legislature finally
concluded its work we found that i
over $2,583,000 had been appropri- j
ated. The Treasurer, Walstein G
Smith, submitted a budget and
showed that the revenue bill would
bring in only $1,890,390. Adding
the supply to this, we would have a
total of $2,488,123.07 to pay our ap
propriations. This amount was j
short of the facts, for Treasurer
Smith has no way of ascertaining i
the expected income cf the Terri
tory. He keeps a cash account
only. He has no account receiv- I
able.
“Cash Cole told the Legislature
that the surplus and revenue would i
total only $2,325,538.59 and that j
the Territory would be short $257,- j
748.89. The Senate, under the |
leadership of Hess of Fairbanks, j
killed the revenue bill.
COLE’C FORECAST TRUE
“The truth of Cole’s forecast is
now borne upon us. The bank j
balance when I left Juneau was;
$311,347.58. The Governor was!
witholding $220,000 in warrants.1
On January 1st next, the total am- :
ount which the Territory shall;
have to pay will be $407,000. There
will be a deficit of $95,000 on that
day, unless some of the larger can
neries again take pity upon the
Territory as they did last year.
“When Cole appealed to the At
torney General to permit him to
withdraw enough money to protect
the schools, territorial institutions,
the pioneers and the relief of des
titution, Mr. Rustgard said it could
not be done. When Cole pointed
out that it was the custom to with
draw school money for the entire
year, Rustgard said that this was
contrary to the law, and could
only be allowed if there was plenty
of money.
“In the fall of 1931, Rustgard1
and Smith saw that there would be !
a shortage of money as predicted'
by Coie. and so they directed Mr.1
Keller, Commissioner of Educa- j
ticn, to issue school warrants for ■
only three months. Keller com
plied with the request. But in the
meantime the Federal party had
withdrawn $198,014.91 from the J
general treasury. That money is
gone, so that today there is no
money for new school districts.
Those just outside of regular dis
tricts are told that they will have
to wait until next year for a school.
Old pioneers are told that there is
no mere money and their appli
cations for relief are turned down.
“But that is not the worst. Gov
ernor Parks in his speech at An
chorage in June, 1931 said that it
was apparent that the Territory
would not have money enough to
pay its debts, and that he and oth
ers were opposed to the withdrawal
of territorial funds from the banks,
for this reason, to use his own lan
! guage:
INCONVENIENT
“ ‘It would mean the calling of
! these funds at a time when some
, of the smaller banks might find it
inconvenient to call in loans or
dispose of securities.’
“The Governor places the blame
1 squarely upon the shoulders of the
Senate, and says the shortage of
money will be hard upon the banks.
Why didn’t Rustgard draw up a
criminal warrant against the Gov- j
ernor for making this radical
charge? And yet when my brother, j
Louis Paul, published an editorial!
making this same statement and'
showing that the banks and citi- j
zens would suffer because of the
foolishness of the Senators, Rust
gard jumped to the conclusion that
Auditor Cole and Lcuis Paul had
violated one of the laws of 1913,
and so drew up a criminal com
plaint and asked the United States
district attorney to arrest them for
telling the citizens of Alaska the
truth about their government.”
Emulating the tactics of Von
I
Hindenburg, the speaker left his,
enemy on one front to swing away,
and deliver a smashing blow in
another quarter. This was Henry!
O’Malley, Commissioner of Fisher- '
ies, who was described as the “boss!
of Alaska.”
DISCRIMINATION
‘‘O’Malley has closed every bay j
in Southeastern Alaska where lo
cal seiners can fish. As soon as
the fish get past the traps, he for
bids all fishing even tho millions of
salmon die on the beach. His

to further handicap seines and
gill-nets. He reduces length; he
reduces the depth; he drives sein
ers out of the bays and waters fa
vorable to their form of gear, but j
modifies his regulations relating to
traps. In the case of Saginaw Bay,
in Southeastern Alaska, he closed
that bay entirely until he found
that traps could not catch fish,
and then he opened it just enuff to
enable the corporation owned trap
to catch over one million fish per
season while the local fishermen
look on dreaming about how they
will pay for gasoline and food. He
