B Seward Alaska TRUITT HEIMS (Continued from Paste One imenced to function it found the j Territory with a mere skeleton j structure of law which it has en deavored to revamp and formulate into a serviceable and equitable code and that it has succeeded thus far is evidenced from the compara tively small amount of complaints with a basis of fact to sustain it that has arisen as a result of the administration of the law. It must be remembered that in many in stances the scope of the Legislature is limited by reason of the Ogranic Act or Constitution of Alaska, which is composed of more“DON’TS than DOES”, still there remains; much to be done, but proper Legis- 1 lation fs not the work of snap judg ment or personal wishes but the re- ! suit of thought, study and a review of the results obtained in other j jurisdictions under simular circum- j stances. “There is no question that much j remains to be done and it is one of the paramount duties of the in cumbent of the office cf the Attor ney General to work with the Leg islature in a spirit of harmony to this end. I have for some time be lieved that our probate law needed attention but I do not believe that Mr. Rustgard has found the pana cea that will bring about the mil leniurri in this regard. As I say there is room for improvement here, out there is some quest >n as 1 to whether the present law with |r>roper modification and additions jis not preferable to a radical de- | partment. However, there are many ; lother important changes or in- ; stances of a needed change in sub- | stantive and adjective law, laws j that require amending to broaden ; or contract the existing statues, butj the office and duties of the Attor- ! ney General of Alaska in these matters should be so administered as not to “swallow a camel and strain at a gnat.” “One of the planks in my plat form, or reasons why I seek election at the hands of the voters of Alas ka is, that I believe that so long as the Organic Act shall remain the Constitution of Alaska, that all :: laws enacted thereunder by the i \ Territorial Legislature, and approv- 11 ed by the Governor, should receive j at the hands of the Attorney Gen- j j eral such interpretation as will support and give effect to the in tent, objects, aims and purposes of the enactment, without regard to the particular district or division applicable. This the present in cumbent has not done but on the contrary has usurped the functions of the courts and ha? in two spci fic instances nullified the wishes of the people of Alaska as expressed thru their duly elected Legislative Representatives. I refer to his de cision in the Matanuska road case ! § and in the case of the subsidy of a ' small boat to serve the isolated communities on the Cook Inlet country. I have good reason to be- ; lieve that his attitude in the case of ; [ the administration of the Pioneers’ !\ Home has hampered the bestowing j \ of the benefits of that law on more j than one worthy pioneer who has:: learned his degree of “Sourdough” 11 ■ several times over by his earnest work in blazing the trails which we i of a later generation are now able to travel in confort. A narrow, picayunish interpretation of the I slaw in a frontier country can undo fthe earnest efforts of tlie majority i i and nullify the best intentions of a j broad minded constituency, j “Another one of my reasons for I entering this race is: I believe that | the primary factors in the develop ment of the Territory are schools, roads, and trails. | “Now, this plank in its reference to schools, taken in conjunction with the plank in the paragraph just above regarding the proper in terpretation of the laws, is the bas is for my stand when I say, I be lieve that our present Agricultural j I-i Seattle ice cream and fresh candies at Sylvia’s. - If you haven’t trleo frye.Bruhn's Baby Beef you have missed some thing, friendsl Cleanliness and the best of meats our motto.

The : University of Washington has a chair on Fisheries, and with a real isation of the hopes of Alaska in the offing for the establishment of pulp and paper plants, with a chair on Forestry in our own college we should anticipate the benefits by permitting our children to prepare foi the positions these industries will offer. Branches of the College could be established in Southeast ern and Southwestern Alaska at strategical points for this purpose.
