The message of George B. Grigs- f
by, candidate for Delegate to Con- j
gress, subject to the primary elec-,
tion. April 26, is set forth clearly |
in the following statement:
“As a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Delegate to
Congress at the coming primary
election. I herewith make a brief j
statement of the principles for
which I stand.
“I am i nfavor of the direct pri
mary law and absolutely opposed
to its repeal.
“I consider the future adminis
tration of the fisheries of lAaska
as the big issue of this campaign.
Am utterly opposed to the present
bureaucratic control
“I am in favor of the abolition of
fish traps, and as the most effect
ive means to this end. will, if elect
ed. work for the transfer of all fed
eral control of the fisheries to the
Alaska Territorial Legislature. I
believe this can be accomplished
with the advent of the Democratic
administration, which is assured.
“I will do my utmost to put the!
Bureau of Fisheries out of busi
ness in the Territory of Alaska, ex
cept for the purposes of scientific !
research.
“I am opposed to all forms of
bureaucratic government. No fed- j
eral bureau should have any power
to legislate whatsoever.
“It will be my endeavor, if elect- ;
ed, to open the public domain of j
Alaska to settlement and develop- j
ment under the same liberal laws j
under which other Territories were j
developed. This includes timber;
lands, oil and coal lands. I am op
posed to the leasing system.
“I am opposed to the Pinchot
system of conservation as applied
to Alaska, believing that nature
and economic conditions present
sufficient barriers to the develop
ment of the Territory, without ad- |
ditional man-made restrictions.
“The Alaska Legislature should
have complete control of the game |
and fur-bearing animals.
“The Democratic doctrine of
states rights, advocated for the.
nast one hundred years, is particu- j
larly applicable to this Territory.
'VVe should be accorded home rule
in the Territory on all subjects of |
legislation not purely federal.
“I have not recently adopted the
above platform but have cam
paigned on the same platform for
three successive campaigns, each
time gaining more votes, and in
the last election wTas beaten by my I
Republican opponent by only 296
votes. I believe those w'ho vote in J
the Democratic primary all desire
to nominate a candidate who has
the best chance of success at the
election this coming November. I
will not in this message, or else
where, reflect on the merits of the
opposing candidates for the Demo- j
cratic nomination. However, the
friends who have urged me to
again become a candidate, and I
myself, believe, that my past re
cord in office, as United States at
torney, as Attorney-General, and
Delegate to Congress; the wide ac
quaintance obtained by my suc
cessive campaigns, the increasing
number of votes gained in each of
them, all indicate that I am the I
logical candidate and deserving of i
the nomination in the April pri- j
mary. GEORGE GRIGSBY.

foster; candidate
MET GENERAL.
BELIEVES CONSERVATION IN
TERRITORY BEEN GREATLY
OVERWORKED
The following is a copy of Frank
H. Foster’s platform. He is a
candidate for the office of Attor
ney General of Alaska:
Juneau, Alaska,
March 26, 1932.
“I am a candidate for the office
of Attorney General of the Terri
tory of Alaska, subject to the will
of the voters as expressed at the
Primary Election, April 26, 1932,
and as such, respectfully solicit
your support.
“I have been a resident of the
Territory of Alaska for 21 years,
am married and have five children,
all raised in Alaska. Whatever I
have of the world’s gear, which
isn’t much, is invested in this Ter
ritory. I have been a practicing
attorney for 26 years, have held
the office of United States District
Attorney and during three sessions
have been a member of the Terri
torial Legislature. I expect to re
main here for the rest of my days,
and to do my utmost in the future
as I have in the past, for the up
building of the Territory.
“I am utterly opposed to Federal
or any interference in Territorial
affairs. I believe that the conser
vation principle has been over
worked in Alaska to the extent that
most of our Territorial resources
have become the playthings of
Federal bureaucrats. I believe that
there will be no lasting prosperity
for the Territory until the chains
binding us to the Federal bureaus
are severed. I am utterly opposed
to the brand of conservation which
was foisted upon us by Gifford Pin
chot and others of his ilk.
“I favor the encouragement of
Alaska labor, the employment of
Alaskans and citizens of the Unit
ed States in all public and private
works. I believe that all Alaska
appointees should be chosen from
bona fide resident Alaskans.
“I believe in the equality of priv
ilege and opportunity for all Al
askans whether white or native.
“It is my opinion that the game,
fish and fur-bearers of this Terri
tory are the heritage of the people
resident herein and should be so
administered as to give resident Al
askans first opportunity to put
same to beneficial use- I am op
posed to game laws or regulations
which deny to our people the right
to take a reasonable toll of such
resources.
“I do not believe in the leasing
system as applied to coal, oil or
fur farming lands. It is my opin
ion that the Homestead laws should
not be hampered by the red tape
of forestry regulations. I know that
if Alaska were placed under the
same conditions as existed ..at the
time of the opening up of the
Great West, we. too, would develop
and prosper in the same manner
as the States have.
“If chosen Attorney General, I
pledge myself to administer that
office fairly and impartially, giving
to all the same degree of justice
and honest dealing without dis
crimination as to race or condition.
“If these principles appeal to
you, please place a cross before my
name at the Primary Election.
“Yours very truly,
“FRANK H. FOSTER.”

World War Pension
With the exception of an insig
nificant number (41 in 1931), men
who served during the World War
do not receive pensions. Neither
do the widows of such men (except
12 in 1931).
The disability allowance granted
by Act of July 3, 1930, is almost
universally known as a pension.
When a man receiving such dis
ability allowance dies, the allow
ance ceases, and under the present
Act of 1931, widows and children
of such men do not receive either
the allowance or a pension.
The only widows and children of
World War veterans now entitled
to any benefit are those of vet
erans who die of service connected
disabilities for which they were re
ceiving compensation at time of
death, or were entitled to such
compensation.
Contact the nearest Veterans or
ganization for further information
regarding this subject as it is quite
complicated and conditions must
be properly set forth to obtain
such benefits, when same are due.

aska Game Commission, arrived

A doctor, a stewardess and 22
passengers will be companions of
Miss Maud May on a “vagabond
voyage” around the world aboard
i the freighter, Parrakoola, which
.sails from San Francisco next Jan
: uary.
With a somewhat sketchy itiner
ary as a guide, the party will sail
j from San Francisco in January to
spend six months on the high seas
! calling at ports in Australia and
New Zealand, cruising through the
Indian Ocean to Oden on the coast
of Arabia, north through the Red
Sea and Suez canal to Port Said in
, the Mediterranean.
Dunkirk, France, Antwerp, Goth
| enburg and Oslo on the coast of
Norway will be ports of call before
j the Parrakoola turns westward to
the Atlantic, south through the
Caribbean and the Panama canal
and north up the coast of Califor
; nia to San Francisco.
The Parrakoola is a Swedish ship
of the General steamship line and
accommodates its passengers in de
luxe quarters. The sister ship is
the Murragooka.
Miss May is now in San Fran
cisco; she will sail June 1 for the
annual summer voyage in Alaskan
waters. She will return to Fre
mont, Neb., in the fall before leav
ing on her ’round the world cruise.
Fremont’s inveterate traveler
formerly spent many winters in
Havana, Cuba, and more lately, has
been summering in Alaskan waters.
She is a good sailor and is antici
pating her globe-circling jaunt
with a great deal of interest and
pleasure.
Seward has always been Miss
May’s Alaska home and her many
friends here will be happy to learn
she will return.
At least Japan solved the prob
lem of overproduction of building
materials in China.

President Hoover recently asked
Will Rogers to crack a joke that
would stop hoarding. Last week he
asked Ruddy Vallee to croon some
thing to drive away depression. All
that is left to make the show com

get a monkey and an organ.

The House chaplain opened pray
er in these words: “Thou preparest
a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies; Thou annointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth
over.” Which indicates that what
the House is drinking needs a
“smoother so the hack saws will j
slide or they are wasting the booze \
along with money.”

In a nation-wide hookup J. P.

HARD ‘CUSS’ WORDS
PHILADELPHIA, April 25. —Mrs.
Mary Hubbert Ellis, head of the
Youth Protection Committee, offers
a novel plan to better economic
conditions. She would revive an
obsolete law which makes profan
ity a misdemeanor and provides for
the collection of a 62c fine for ev
ery swear word uttered.
Speaking from a local broad
casting station, Mrs. Ellis said: “If
this law is enforced we will raise
enough money to make the pay
ment of taxes unnecessary and the
depression will be a thing of the
past.”
