‘7 Stand On My Record At The Last LegislatureJ
Statement of Principles and Politics
Of A. H. Ziegler, Democratic Candidate
For Delegate to Congress
As a prospective candidate!
soliciting the votes of the people j
of Alaska, I have been waiting to j
see the public statements of my!
opponents, but so far have not:
seen any public statement made
by any of them as to how thoy:
stand on the principles in which
the people of the Territory are
vitally interested.
sj* *!• I
INDEPENDENT IN PRINCIPLE
In the first instance, I desire
to state to the people of Alaska,
that I am a Democrat, but ab
solutely independent so far as
[being bound to any clique with
in any organization or corpora
tion, or any special interest
whatsoever. One of the strongest
arguments made by people in
my behalf is that I never have
been, and never could be con
tvoled or dictated to by any in
terest seeking special favors. I
am vitally interested in the wel
fare of the Territory and the
development of its resources. To
establish my interest in matters
helpful to the people of the Te”
ritory, I am satisfied to stand on
my record as a member of the
Legislature of 1929 and 1931. In
those sessions I was always on
the side of the people and a
gainst any special interest.
I was one of the authors of the
bills making the Commissioner
of Education and Highway En
gineer for the Territory elective
and voted for the bills making
the offices of the Treasurer and
Auditor elective.
TERRITORIAL CONTROL
OF RESOURCES
I agree with the announced
policies of my opponents, as well
as the present Delegate to Con
gress regarding Territorial con
trol of all of our resources, in
cluding the fisheries, and in the
Legislature introduced and se
cured the passage of memorials
to Congress against the use of
herring for other than food
purposes in order to preserve
and perpetuate the salmon troll
ing industry, also to prevent the
seizure of the boats of trollers
and seiners, and other property,
for violation of the fisheries law
until the accused person is first
tried by a jury and making the
right to seize and confiscate
absolutely dependent upon con
viction of the accused by a jury
of his peers.I believe that heavy
l ax should be imposed upon non
resident fishermen and to that
end raised the tax in Senator
j Benjamin’s bill in the 1929 ses
sion to $360.00 on non-resident
Jti oilers. The validity of this law
iis still before the courts. If it is
| determined the Legislature is
without authority to so legislate,
as your Delegate to Congress, I
will secure such Federal legisla
tion as will permit the imposi -
tion of such tax by the Legisla
ture of Alaska.
PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY
-x
I believe in extending to the
. resident industries of Alaska the
! greatest co-operation and en
1 ccuragement and to compel
| non-residents who are engaged
| in business in Alaska as indivi
duals and corporations who do
not assist in the building of the
permanent population in the
Territory to contribute their
just share for the support of the
Territorial Government, and in
stitutions. In the session of the
1931 Legislature I introduced
and sponsored legislation to
carry out this object, which re
sulted in the agreement by the
users of lumber, including boxes
for salmon, to patronize the
home industries of Alaska, which
directly affected the saw mills
and loggers, and has resulted in
the lumber industry in South
eastern Alaska being saved from
great loss and probable ruin.
ALASKA RAILROAD
-x
I recognize that roads and
trails are indispensable to the
development of the resources of
the Territory and I favor the
greatest appropriations possible,
both Federal and Territorial, in
order to provide for the con
struction of the same, including
the construction of Internation
al Highway from the United
States to the interior of Alaska,
and I further take 'he position
that the Alaska Railroad was
built not as a revenue producing
project, but to develop the Ter
ritory, and the Federal Govern
ment should maintain and oper
ate the same with such idea in
mind and with such tariffs as
would enable the people using
the road to receive the most
benefit possible therefrom.
-x
OPPOSES FEDERAL
DOMINATION
I am absolutely opposed to
any Federai officials disbursing
the money of the Territory or
handling Territorial matters.
Territorial officials should be
completely divorced from the
hands of Federal officials and I
am strongly opposed to all bu
reaucratic forms of Government
in the Territory.
—x ’
OPPOSES REPEAL OF THE
PRIMARY LAW
X
Free government depends up
on the right of every citizen to
vote and there should be no
government or representation of
any kind without the consent of
the governed expressed by the
ballot. To preserve this right I
oppose and voted against the bill
Introduced in the Legislature
during the 1931 session to repeal
tile Primary Law of Alaska. I am
strongly opposed to the conven
tion system for selection or
nominating candidates for office
and for that reason opposed the
repeal of the Primary Law, and
served notice that I would op
pose the attempt made by cer
tain self-styled leaders of the
Democratic party to take this
right away from the people of
Alaska because I hold under the
, Primary Law that the only man
ner by which a man seeking a
nomination for office can secure
same is to submit his name to
the voters and if he receives a
majority of the votes of his
party, he then can truly be said
j to be the choice of the people.
The evils that would flow from
the substitution of the conven
tion system for the primary are
many and when the voters real
ize same, I am sure will not
support any candidates who are
affiliated with the movement to
do away with the Primary Lav/.
The attitude of the Primary La v
repealers is that they feel they
are not only qualified to do the
thinking for the voters and se
lect the candidates for whom
the people can vote, but are
also possessed with specially en
dowed power and wisdom which
qualifies them also to say wheth
er a man shall receive votes
from particular sources or class
es of individuals in the Territory.
If it is to be assumed that • the
present Primary Law is imper
fect and that there should be a
change, if elected, I would in
troduce a bill in Congress where
by the names of all candidates,
both Republicans and Demo
crats, would be placed on one
ballot so that in Alaska every
voter would have the right to
vote his choice regardless of
party affiliation, because it is
conceded that there are good
candidates in both parties who
submit their names to the voter
for nomination. Such a law, in
my opinion, would remove all
objections which have been as
serted against the present Pri
mary Law and would result in
inestimable benefit to the Ter
i
ritory by eliminating a great
many party feuds.
SUBMITS CANDIDACY
-x
On the statement of the fore
going principles and my record
as a legislator in the Legislature
of Alaska, to which I was elected j
in 1930 by the highest vote re
ceived by any man in the Legii- j
lature without any campaigning j
whatsoever, I submit my candi
dacy to the voters of Alaska and
solicit your support.
19 YEARS A RESIDENT
-x
I have been a resident of
| Alaska for nineteen years, suc
cessfully engaged in the practice
of law at Ketchikan and Juneau.
1 am not seeking the office of
Delegate because of the salary
as financially I will sustain a
loss. I have no friends to reward
or enemies to punish but feei
that I have the welfare of the
Territory at heart and have the
experience, training and ability
to procure legislation that will I
make the Territory a better!
place to live in and promote the j
general welfare of the greatest,*
number of the people. In order]
to be under no obligation if
elected, I am paying all my ex
penses and will accept money
from no one for campaign ex
penses.

IMPORTANCE OF BEAR
UNIMPORTANCE OF PEOPLEj
Well! Well! Well! So we are
making progress. We suppose
next thing will an article by Mr.
Holzworth claiming a bushel:
basket full of letters from Alas- i
kans who sponsor his ambitious
plan to make bear pastures of
the islands adjoining the inside
passage. It certainly must be a
relief to have a mind and be so
placed as to allow one to ad
vocate such a program for such
ia country and advance the ar
gument that bears are more im
portant to a country than
people.
Yes! National Forests all over
! the United States other than
j parks and playgrounds are get
ting pretty torrid. The Alaska
j National Forests have just about
reached the point where they
: are getting too hot for the grey
beards to hold out of the worlds /
markets any longer. But some
means of keeping our timber
bottled up must be devised,
i Quick boys! Slip that timber
land into a bear pasture! The
old “hokus pokus” of forest con
servation is just about worn out.
The people are getting wise to
that one, but this bear pasture
idea should be good for another
twenty years. By that time large
private timber holdings should
be pretty well cleaned up; we
can then move the bear pastures
over onto the mainland some
where and cut that timber.!
Whats that you say? What about j
this idea of raising the bars so'
that people can move in there? [
No thats not the kind of bars we '
want raised. Ha! Ha! Ha.

HAWAII BAR FILIPINOS
-x
Inclusion of Hawaii with the
United States in any legislation
to control the entry of Filipino
labor was demanded by the ter
ritorial Democratic central com
mittee.
In a protest cable to speaker
John N. Gamer and other con
gressional leaders against any
distinction between the main
land and Hawaii, the committee
declared “the unemployment
situation in the territory is acute
and no more importation of
labor is desired.” It was pointed
out that in Honolulu alone 3,000
Filipinos are without work.

Geological Suivay For
Valdez
-x
The Department of the In
terior through the Geological
Survey, announce the comple
tion o fa manuscript report on
the Valdez Creek mining dis
trict, Alaska, by Clyde P. Ross.
This is one of the reports re
sulting from the special study
of mineral resources in the area
tributary to the Alaska Railroad
that was carried on during the
field season of 1931. The report
contains topographic and geo
logic maps of the Valdez Creex
district and vicinity. This dis
trict, which lies east of the up
per Susitna River, is known
principally for its mines, which
have been more or less produc
tive since 1903. Most of the
places operations have been on
a rather small scale, and large
quantities of potential placer
ground remain untested. Much
of this untouched ground can
not be conveniently mined by
small-scale plants such as are
now in use. As the bench de
posits that have been mined by
hydraulic methods appear to
have averaged over 60 cents a
cubic yard in gold, testing of the
less accessible ground seems
warranted .
There are several gold-bearing
lodes near the placer workings
but these have been only super
ficially prospected. One of the
viens is as much as 1,000 feet
long and several feet wide, but
it does not appear to be of high
average grade. There is reason
to hope that small pockets of
gold ore, with tellurides, may
exist in the district. Systematic
search might result in finding
such pockets, which would give
rich returns without the use of
much equipment. Just east of
the present confines of the
Valdez Creek district along
Clearwater Creek there is evi
dence of widespread alteration
or limestone, schist, and other
rocks, with the deposition of
some pyrite and other metallic
minerals. This area has received
almost no attention from pi os
pectors and might repay exam
ination by one interested in ihe
discovery of metallic lodes.

The recent death of the great
philanthropist George Eastmen
prompts the Eastern newspapers

that two years ago, at the age
of 75, Eastman went to Alaska
on his last big game hunting
trip, and brought down two
grizzlies, a feat of which he was
very proud.

Game Sanctuary
Scarcely a day passes but In
quiries are received at the office
:f Delegate Wickersham as to
the status of a presumed bill
that would create a game sanc
tuary or bear reserve on Ad
miralty or Chichagof Islands,
Alaska. Many of these inquiries
come from Senators and Repre
sentatives from New York,
Massachusetts, and the New
England States. No such bill has
been introduced in Congress but
there is considerable propagan
da contained in various phases
of literature that is being cir
culated among those interested
in wild game life. Among the or
ganizations and individuals ac
tively interested in securing a
brown bear reserve in Alaska
are the following: From New
York City—National Ass’n. of
Wild Life Conservationists, John
W. Holzworth, president; Ameri
can Bison Society, Edmund

Herring Reduction
x
Lee D. Wakefield, President of
the Pacific Herring Packers
Association and who has him
| self operated in salmon canning
and herring mild curing in Alas
| ka for many years past, was a
Washington visitor during the
[past week. He came at the be
[ hest of his Association to confer
with Commissioner of Fisheries,
Henry O’ Malley, to try to secure
some change in regulations. Mr.
Wafefield says that because of
the low price of herring, oil and
meal, the herring men are un
certain whether they will oper
ate in Alaska this season. From
here he went to New York to
dispose of a car load of herring
for any price he could get.
X
Lease of Station
There is a desire upon the
part of some people in the In
terior to take over the leasing or
management of the agricultural
experiment station at Rampart.
The Delegate has taken up the
matter with the Secretary of
Agriculture.

Aviation School
Several communications have
teen received lately from Alas
kans who wish to enter the
Army aviation school at San
Antonia, Texas, but the appli
cants have either been below or
above the age limit for entering
the school, which is between the
ages of 20 and 27. Applications
are also frequently received by
the Delegate from young men
who wish to enter either the
military academy at West Point
or the Naval academy at Anna
polis. There will be no vacancy
at West Point for Alaskans until
1934, and nothing at Annapolis
until 1933.
