“Blessings on Thee,
Civic interest Ticket™
Platform we adopted and published last week seems to be what the
city needs as 48 hours after it came out the Mayor of Juneau came out
and stated that some of our planks were already taken care of or were
about to be accomplished. We hope to see that this work is followed up
and all brought to completion. Therefore we claim half the blessing that
the Mayor extended to the present City Council.
1. The present Council is credited with having ordered lights for the
business district. We wish to premise the public that such lights
will be installed and that we will work for adequate lighting not only
for the business district but also for the residential districts.
2. The acquisition of the prospective playground on Star Hill was
prompted by the donation of 81500.00 by public spirited citizens
which made it possible for the City to make up the purchase price.
We feel that now the site should be put in order so that the children
can begin to have full use of this playground.
3. We realize and appreciate that rpuch has been done for the youth
of Juneau but we feel that more money and facilities should be given
and we are in favor of seeing that more personal attention and guid
ance are supplied.
4. We understand from Mr. Metcalf’s communication in the Empire
Tuesday that the gridiron was financed by Territorial funds. Since
we have heard several complaints to the effect that Mr. Metcalfs
specifications for creosoted piling was not entirely followed, we
promise to pay careful attention to further city construction to see
that the correct building method and materials are used .
5. We have been informed hat the electrical installations for the boat
harbor were purchased under the administration previous to the one
now in office but that they are still on the dock in storage.
G. Juneau is a city on a harbor. Many of its citizens own boats. Feel
ing is so strong that we are sure experienced boatmen should be
represented on the Council so that any installations in the boat harbor
will be satisfactory to boatowners and fishermen. If it were arranged
better we are sure that more boats would put into our harbor.
The members of this ticket believe that a Council should assume the
full burden of its responsibilities and not delegate any of its authority.
Constructively yours,

A MESSAGE FOR ALASKANS - ® - Fr®^ne«ryRci?e«

Lsian! United States Attorney at Flail member oi First Terrioriai Leglskfure to
ial Senate, 1S41, elected from First Division; Attorney General of Alaska, 1941*45; Territorial Treasurer, .M, .J, »^,uaie is
succeed himself in that office.
Because I face no opposition in the forthcoming
election I can analyze the political situation in Alaska
dispassionately. The Republicans, although they have
had much to say about the conduct of Territorial affairs,
did not see fit to nominate a candidate for Territorial
Treasurer.
In my lime I have covered much of the Territory
on foot. I once walked the length of the Kenia Peninsula
and from Iliamna to lakotna and the Kuskokwim. I
have seen Alaska grow Irom a scattered series of stam
pede camps to a modern, stable country, with all the
problems of civilization. I hope that my intimate ac
quaintance with Alaska's industry and government over
two generations qualifies me to speak to my fellow citi
zens on the real issues of this campaign.
The self-appointed spokesmen of the Republican
party in Alaska view everything with alarm. They say
corruption, misfeasance and malfeasance are rampant.
While they assert this, they have done nothing about it.
Let me remind them that it was a democratic District
Attorney who promply prosecuted the defaulting Treas
urer after his defalcations became known. Ii was a demo
cratic Legislature which called for two other scalps now
claimed by Republican hatchet men. A1 White conven
iently forgets that that bad man, Oscar Olson, got his
irainino in statecraft as a Republican and was a member
of the G.O.P. until 1934 when, like others, he saw how
the political wind had shifted and became a democrat for
pie only. It was some pie but the Territory recovered it
from the bonding company. In the 1944 campaign Olson
had the active political support of A1 White, who disliked
the Republican candidate Cash Cole because Cole sup
ported statehood. Thus do politics make strange bed
fellows.
To refer again to the exaggerated charges ot cor
ruption. I suggest that Republicans making these wild
statements make them stick by lodging their complaints
with the District Attorney and the Grand Jury. Unless
their charges have substance they should abstain from
smearing reputable citizens. In other words, put up or
shut up.
The head of our ticket, Delegate Bartlett, is now
in the Territory and will give the lie to those parts of the
G.O.P. smear directed at him in absentia.
The present administration in Alaska has been
the most progressive in the history of the Territory The
last session of the Legislature - and all credit to the
handful of Republicans who voied with the majority-did
more to put Alaska's house in order and bring it abreast
of the times than did any previous Legislature since and
excepting the 1913 Session. The election now of legis
lators pledged to undo that program would be a tragic step
backwards.
The 1949 Legislature gave us the means of meet
ing Alaska's obligations io its children, its aged, its sick
and its needy. That moderate tax system must be re
tained.
A1 White inconsistently condemns iaxes and ai the
same time condemns the administration because one of
the 1949 tax measures was turned down by the District
Court. It is now before the appellate court. Al mentions
that another, the fish trap tax, was in one feature held
invalid. Al fails to mention that under the portion sus
tained by the Court the Territory ha$ taken in more from
traps than ever before.
The Territory would be hopelessly bankrupt by
this time without the basic revenue measures adopted
last session. We are on a cash basis and are paying all
our bills as they are presented. Moreover, we have made
good, through tax collections in this biennium, on about
two million dollars worth of unpaid bills left us by the
Republican-controlled 1947 Legislature.
I have sufficient faith in Alaskans to know that
fair-minded Republicans have learned that their -en
era! Counsel has not - inai you cannot aeteai your op
ponent with calumny and abuse. But every iwo years A1
put on his warpaint, gives himself a title, thinks he is
Napoleon, and turns the firehose on anybody that cross
es his path. This is the season when there ain't no flies
on Al. i i
To date not one single progressive measure has
been advocated by any Republican candidate. They ask
that the government of the nation and Territory be re
turned to them, as in the good old days - ihe days when
veterans stood on each street corner selling apples and
pencils; when millions of unmployed were searching gar
bage cans for something to take home to the hungry chil
dren; when the banks were closed, factories were idle
arid when workingmen asking for food were dispersed
by soldiers. 1 ‘ '*?,1
Conditions in the Territory have improved in the
last fifty years and particularly in the last eighteen when
a democratic administration has been in office by the
people's will. Throughout Alaska's history the improve
ments have been initialed and carried through by Demo
cratic administrations.
Today we have an excellent school system. Our
University is gaining national recognition, The Pioneers
Home is operated splendidly. We now have a Pioneer
Women's Home. Our senior citizens need no longer go
begging. Our health problems are being met. Discrim
ination between races has disappeared. Many hundreds
of miles of roads and trails have been constructed, air
plane landing fields built and numerous floats, harbors,
and gridirons for fishermen installed.
Yes.. Alaska is moving ahead. Keep it moving,
keep it growing and progressing by voting on October
tenth for candidates who will work not for iheir own
selfish ends but for the public good and Alaska s future.
