THK NEW APPEAL
Bonus and Beer is not a new combination, but is likely to take on <•
more serious aspect at this session of Congress than In the last session.
What the advocates of the Beer measures have not thought of or planned,
in earth or hades, is hardly worth mentioning. What dire results they
uid not prophesy, would happen and what things they are not now trying
to lay on the poor back of Prohibition Is hard to mention, except a few
things that are so obvious on the surface that these people will not see it.
One wonders why thoy have never produced figures instead of bom
bast to tell us just what the net cost to the government of trying to enforce
the Eighteenth amendment actually is. Uid anyone see the figures? Not
in a wet paper or from a wet speaker. The simple reason is that the en
forcement of that law, with the many drawbacks it has had, nets the gov
ernment $10 for every dollar it pays out In salaries and expenses for the
carrying on of the work.
Now Mr. Brennan of Michigan proposes an amendment to the Consti
tution. whereby beer can be manufactured and sold in the United States,
the license tax from this he figures would net $500,000,000 or more a year
for the payment of a Bonus to the soldiers. One is bound to respect Mr.
Brennan for one outstanding principle. He proposes a legal form for bis
Idea. One must respect Senator-Elect Edwards of New Jersey, who in de
claring himself thoroughly wet. yet maintains that whatever measure is
taken to make the United States wet even to the extent of BEER and WINE
must be CONSTITUTIONAL. That is more thau can be said for most of
the proposals which have been brought up. There is no objection to be
raised by the Drya to a proposed change in the Constitution to make the
country wet. "Go to it!" la the unanimous opiulon of all. That does
not mean that the Drys will not try to prevent a change. They will. They
feel Confident that If the wets can muster the required number of states and
voters for such a change the change should and is bound to be niade. Whal
they are sore about ia that the wets want to count the whole United States
Wet. because Chicago and New York and few newspapers in Alaska are for
the Wets, and a few gallons of bootleg whiskey is made and drunk, but re
luse to see that the prosperity and peaco of the nation, tho bank clearings,
the big manufacturers, and employers of men, the jails and workhouses and
women and children of the land are from 50 to 100 per cent better off un
. der prohibition than they were uudor liquor. It took years to educate
this nation to the place where prohibition could be written into the con
stitution. Let the wets take the same course and if the nation revetses
itself, if the light and illumination of FACTS, hard FACTS, economic and
social FACTS prove that prohibition is a colossal mistake, as the beer and
wine advocates would have uj think, then certainly they have a good case
and since thcv have barrels of money to push it and a driving thirst to urge
them on, we say, "Go to It!" If you succeed in convincing this nation, it
will have had four or five years of National Prohibition from which to note
FACTS as to Just how prohibition h-\s worked, and can form an intelligent
decision.
If that decision is for a change, none can complain, as it has been
taken deltbe ttcly with eyns t ide open. True it would be preferable to
have the wets say. we want things as they were—saloon and all—for that
is it. despite the camouflage of beer und wine, but even at that we think
they themselves are not very anxious to go to the polls on a straight out
and out Issue. They had rather hide behind an interpretation of Con
gress as to what is Intoxicating. They had rather hitch it up to a Bonus
measure or some other popular call. Put the business on its own legs and
let the voters throughou' the country get a rap at it and the wets know it
will be snowed under so deep they would not be able to rind it. They know
there is a strong current of support to the ISth amendment. They are
willing to break down respect for all the laws of the nation and to encour
age men in doing it. so as to carry the ir point. The South tried that ill
the old days and It didn't work. We are not yet ready to admit that the
brewers of New York. Chicago, and St. Louis own and control the nation.
One Of Every Four New Yorkers Are
Said To Have Money In The Bank
New. York, Nov. 21. —The pop
ular idea lhat the term "New
Yorker" is synonymous with prodi
gality in expenditures for unimport
ant things, extravagance in dress
and style of living and outlajr for
bright light amusements, Is refuted
by some significant figures just
compiled by the Merchants' Asso
ciation.
On July 1. 1922. the savings banks
of New York held on deposit $2.
069.779.824.S3, representing ac
counts of 1,680,625 depositors or
more than one out of every four of
the entire population.
"These figures," said the state
ment, "are as significant relatively
as positively. They prove that the
habit of thrift among the wage
earners in the city has grown enor
mously during the last iweiuy-flve
years.
"Id 1897 the books of the New
York savings banks showed deposits
to a total of $529,907,247.35. The
actual deposits in Chat period have
there fore multiplied almost four
times. Within the same period the
number of depositors has increased
from 1.222.366 to the total as in
dicated above. It is true that the
increase in numbers of accounts is
not commensurate with the increase
Id population, but a significant fact
appears in the per capita compari
son. The depositors in 1897 showed
an average, savings account of ,
$421.51 while the depositors of to
day show an average savings deposit
of $1,231.55.
"Those who analyze the signifi
cance of figures may draw various
deductions of interest from these re
markable showings which are newly
assembled, bnt any argument tend
ing to show that Now Yorkers in
general are a wasteful lot would
have some difficulty. in maintaining
itself unchallenged.
Yearly Qosed
Periods Urged
By Commission
Resolutions calling on the Bureau
of Fisheries to establish a yearly
closed period on salmon fishing dur
ing the runs and to enforce meas
ures required to curtail waste In
the herr.ng packing ludustry were
passed last week by the Territorial
Fish Commission which met for three
days In the office of Gov. Scott C.
Bone, chairman of the Commission.
The Commission has prepared a
budget and outlined a definite policy
for submission to the Territorial
Legislature next spring.
Those attending the meeting were
Governor Bone. B. A. Roselle, Sec
retary; J. K. Heckman, C. C. Hazelet
and Supt. Edwin Wentworth, of Ter
torial Hatcheries. Mr. Heckman
was elected vice-chairman of the
Commission. E. M. Ball. Bureau oi
Fisheries Agent for Southeastern Al
aska, also attended one of the ses
sions of the Commission devoted to
discussion of the fishing problems in
general. "The Territorial Commis
sion and the Bureau of Fisheries are
working in close co-operation in .'t
tempting to safeguard Alaskan fish
eries and to promote the Industry,"
said Governor Bone.
I'lans New llati'lioriP'
While the complete program of thr
Commission was not made public it
is understood that it calls for tome
extension of the hatchery ayi? • 11.
At present there are two hatcheries
in existence, one at Eyak near Cor
dova and the other here. At least
one additional is planned for next
season to be erected on Ketchilcan
Creek to take care of the needs of
streams In the southern end of this
district.
To make the operations of these
more economical by insuring a plen
tiful supply of spawning fish fr«m
which eggs may be taken, resolutions
were adopted asking the Bureau oi
Fisheries to close certain areas ♦a
fishing. To supply the Eyak '.such
ery it is suggested that fishing be
prohibited between the month o(
Eyak River and Mountain .Slough.
And to provide fishing ground'.< for
the proposed station at Ketchike.)
Creek, the closing of an area in
Totigass Narrows between Mountain
Point and Point Hlggins is request
ed.
Suggest Closed Periods.
The Commission went on record
as favoring yearly closed seasons
rather than wha» it terms "inopera
tive regulations" at present requir
ing weekly closing. Its sttllude is
outlined in the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted
"Whereas, experience has demon
strated that the supply of saln-on in
Alaskan waters can he maintained
only by a suspension of fibbing De
fore the spawning season, and that
.he present regulation establishing a
weekly closed o»riod serves no us
ful purpose and is impossible cf
enforcement unless a forca of 2ii)
!ish wardens be provided and
equipped to keap supervision, there
fore, be it
"Resolved, by the Alaska Terri
torial Fish Commission, that it
(strongly recommends to ths Federal
i Bureau of Fisheries that, instead of
> the inoperative regulation now in
effect, but un?nforcod. a yearly clos
ed period be ordered and established
in the waters of Alaska, at the lat
ter end of the flsh'iK season, the
same to extend from August 20 to
September 5, In the Ketchikan dis
trict, and for a like or neccssary
period in the Icy Straits and other
districts, thus permitting 25 per cent
of the pink salmon, our principal tish
to escape and reach thp spawning
grounds; and that similar yearly
closed periods be established in the
waters of Southwestern Alaska of
duration necessary to insure a main
tennnce of the salmon supply.
"In recommending and urging this
system of protection of Alaskan fls -
eries the Territorial Commission be
lieves it to be simple and practic
able and relatively inexpensive, in
volving only the examination by the
Federal Bureau of the cannerv Ash
ing books in the various d stricts to
determine the time the closed pM'Nl
should begin and end. Aft<*r Sep
tember 5 fishing may safely be re
sumed in Sou'heasterr. Alaska ' >r

Control of W.ri.e l iged.
The Commission severely arraigned
the present methods in use in the
herring packing industry. These are
characterized as "wantonly destruc
tive." In urging Immediate correc
tion, the Commission passed the fol
lowing resolution.
"Resolved, by the Territorial Fish
Commission, that the Bureau o' Fish
eries be urged to adopt and enforce
such measures as ars maifestly re
quired to curtail the inordinate waste
connected with the herring packing
industry in Alaska—a waste which,
! in the opinion of this Commission, Is
; not only contrary to sound economic
business methods and principles, hut
i wantonly destructive of the fish food
' supply and endangering to the future
: of the great industry."
Copies of all resolutions were
mailed to the Bureau of Fisheries.
The meeting, said Governor Bone.
' was very satisfactory and is expected
to result In material benefit to the
fisheries. The members of the Com
mission, he added, are alive to the
importance of the work it is re
sponsible for and are giving a se
rious consideration to the problems
involved.
Two more members of the Federal
bureaus. Seymour Badwen of the
Agricultural Department, and Law
rence J. Palmer of the Biological
Survey, have started out to salvage
Alaska from the dumps. After In
vestigating reindeer Industry they
have submitted p report to the gov
ernment, which report would have
been all right had they known where
to stop. After showing by figures
and est-imates how Alaska can sup
port from threi million to four mil
lion head of reindeer—all of which
is true—they recommend that ex
cavations be made in the Icc for cold
storage apartments.
It is Just such fool breaks as that
by tenderfeet underlings at Wash
ington that keeps the Indian sign
