“The House That Quality Built”
States His Platform
Anchorage, Alaska,
March 2, 1928.
To the Voteis of Alaska ;
1 am a candidate for the office ol
Attorney General of the Territory
o*‘ Alaska lor the coining term and
believe that I am qualified to serve
the people in that capacity. I came
to Alaska with the gold rush ol
!397, have lived at Eagle and Nome
and since 1915, at Anchorage. 1
have practiced law in the state ol
Washington and the tearritory ol
Alaska since the year 1891. I have
always been a Republican.
1 am heartily in favor of the fol
lowing platform adopted by the Re
publicans in the last legislature.
3 Elective territorial officials for
ali major offices.
2. Separation of territorial of
fices from federal offices.
3. Equitable taxation.
4. Trap catch based on catch.
5. Discriminatory tax on non
resident fishermen.
6. Repeal by Congress of section
27 of the Jones Merchant Marine
Act which discriminates against Al
aska.
I have a high personal regard for
the present incumbent of the of
fice but he admits that he cannot
get results. He furnishes the ev
idence himself that he cannot se
cure much needed law's throuogh
the legislature.
Seventeen of the thirty-nine pages
of his speech delivered at Anchor
age on the 30th day of September.
1927, are given up to bitter com
plaints over his failure to secure
proper legislation. He laments that
every legislature since that of 1923
has annulled his efforts at construc
tive legislation by unwarranted op
position. He especially mentions
the election laws, cannery sanita
tion. the probate laws, compilation
of the territorial statutes, the pri
mary law and the transportation
question.
Concerning the election laws he
says;
“The Attorney General has repeat
edly recommended a revision of the
election laws. These laws are and
have been conflicting and confusing
Urged such revision upon the legis
lature of 1923 and drafted a bill to
carry out that recommendation. The
bill was never as much as reported
out of committee. I again urged the
measure before the legislature of
1925 but no action was taken. I
repeated by recommendations in
1927 and submitted a bill. * * *
The bill was not even given the
honor of an introduction in the house
but was introduced in the senate..
* * * When it came up for final
passage it was defeated."
Continuing his speech, Mr. Rust
gard then enters into a lengthy dis
cussion of a cannery sanitation bill
introduced by him at the request of
the legislature and which, at first,
met with some opposition from one
or more misinformed canneries but
which, after all cannery opposition
had been withdrawn, was defeated.
In concluding his remarks on this
measure, Mr. Rustgard asks "Why
then the opposition?” and proceeds
to criticise the mentality of the
legislature.
Next the lament takes up Mr
Rustgard’s efforts to secure the re
vision of the probate laws which the
majority of lawyers practicing in the
territory concedes should be re
formed. He goes on to tell how,
session after session of the legislat
ure he had prepared bills and urg
ed their adoption upon the law
makers but that they would have
none of his word and defeated every
bill.
He admits that he has failed to
[secure legislation providing for the
j compilation of the territorial stat
utes, to amend the primary law, and
to solve the transportation ques
tion. He concludes this part of his
speech as follows: “There are a
large number of other questions
which have received the same treat
ment at the hands of the legisla
ture,” and finishes with reasons that
are not complimentary to that body.
Apparently Mr. Rustgard doe3 not
suspect that his own cold blooded
personality might be a factor in
the solution of the problem. He
.seems to take it for granted that
, every one is out of step in the mat
ters he complains of and that the
legislature has always been obdurate
without just reason, is it not easier
to elect one Attorney General who
can and will work with the legis
lature, rather than twenty-four leg
islators who will be in accord with
the methods of the Attorney Gen
eral? Ts it not good politics as
well as good business sense to try
a new man for the office? Whatever
the cause, Mr. Rustgard admits that
he is a failure as an attorney gen
eral when new legislation is need
ed.
But if Mr. Rustgard, as attorney
general, cannot secure constructive
legislation, he has demonstrated
that he is able to defeat some. A
bill was introduced in the legislat
ure in 1925 providing for a dis
criminatory tax on non-resident
fishermen. The purpose of the bill
was to protect our own fishermen
from non-resident fishermen and en
courage an increase in the resident
population. Oregon and Washington
have similar laws, why not Alaska?
At his own request, Mr. Rustgard
spoke against the bill on the floor
of the house. It was defeated.
The resident who makes his liv
ing by fishing is as much entitlea
to protection against foreign com
petition as the resident merchant
who claims and is given protection
against non-resident peddlers. He
spends his income in Alaska, builds
and maintains a home in the terri
tory, while the non-resident fisher
man carries his earnings back to
Seattle or San Francisco. The can
nery corporations were against the
measure, of course, but why our
attorney general? That is a ques
tion that Mr. Rustgard must ans
wer to the satisfaction of the people
and more specially the fishermen,
before he is returned to office.
I believe the fur farmer should
be aided to the fullest extent by ap
propriate legislation. I believe in
the enforcement of law and I be
lieve with all sincerity in the Comp
troller Bill, otherwise known as the
Home Rule Bill. The success of
that bill or its equivalent is neces
sary to revive the spirit of free
dom among the people of Alaska
which is already withering under
the blighting influence of Bureau
cracy.
I have the indorsement of the
Third Divisional Republican Club of
Anchorage. My neighbors approve
my candidacy, and I sincerely solicit
your support.
Yours for harmony and progress,
J. L. WALLER
