2 FISH BILLS ARE
DISCUSSED; LIVELY
TILTS ARE FEATURE
(Continued r rom rase one.)
ed for a minute to the proposal for a
sraduated tax on salmon packs us a
conservation measure, saying conser
vation might be accomplished by it,
but that taxes imposed by it could
not be collected as in his opinion it
is unconstitutional and he warned
the members to make such a scale
separate from the revenue law or the
Territory would have none.
'Coming back again to the bill he
■was supporting, he said it was the
simplest that could be devised. Its
aim was to let more fish ge! to the
pawning grounds and he believed it
would accomplish that purpose, it
would do tt by shortening the sea
son of fishing, limiting the pack by
limiting the period in which it may
be put up. Tho canning seasons
suggested, ho said, are tentative ones
as are the proposed districts. The
tirst could be either lengthened or
shortened and the districts made 10
instead of three by the Leglaalture.
Any cannery could start packing
when it desired but it would have
to shut down when it had operated
the number of days established by
law. it had been said in opposition,
he acknowledged, that this plan
would not be practical; that canner
ies would combine to beat it by co
operating, one starting earlier and
getting fish from its neighbor, which
delayed its opening 10 or 15 days,
the latter in turn to be furnished fish
by its competitor after the latter had
run its allotted period. The same
scheme, he said, had been suggested
as a possible means of evasion by
companies owning two or more can
neries. ThiB contention, he argued,
was not sound. None of the packers
would take such chances as this en
tailed; when t'he fish started to run
they would 'be forced to protect their
investments by immediately begin
ning operations. He did not believe
that evasion on this score would be
attempted seriously or prove practi
cal. When Mr. Heckman later in
sisted 'that just such 'methods would
be used. Mr. Heiienthal replied if
such were found to be the case in
1924, then the 1925 Legislature could
easily make evasion a crime and fix
suitable penalties He condemned
(forcefully bestowal of arbitrary pow
er on commissions as un-American
and distasteful, fundamentally un
sound. This drew fire from both
Mr. Heckman and Mr. Zipf.
Endorses Grant Resolution
Delegate Sutherland, who followed
Mr. Heiienthal, endorsed the Grant
Resolution and bill. It is the duti
es the Legislature, he said, to pass
this or some similar bill. The Cover
.aw, hs4 suggested it and a letter
from the ■Secretary of Commerce hadi
promised to give It the proper reeog
nit tan and support. The bill, he con
'tinned, is essentially in the languagt
of the Britt 'hill of 1921 and the reso
lution identical with that accompany
Ing the Britt bill. He pointed out
two errors in it, statements of con
ditions which have changed in the
past two years The bill does not
contain the taxation clauses, it be
ing deemed unnecessary and unwise
to submit a taxation bill for Con
gress for approval when the right of
the Territorial Legislature to enact
such measures is unquestioned.
-Section 8, he added, contains the
most vital provisions of the bill. This
provides for the removal of fixed fish
ing appliances in small -bays and
estularies, and fixes a limit within
'which they may not encroach. This
Was favored recently by 'the Ketchi
kan grand Jury in a report to Judge
Reed in the IT. S District Court; it
was recommended by Dr. David Starr
Jordan In a special report on Al
askan fisheries in the early years
of (he present century; it is carried
out in many states and several for
J eign countries, he said, reading from
j various la ws to support his state
! men! The recognition of certain In
jdian rights of fishery, >he continued,
i merely extended to certain rights of
j that nature now recognized by the
| Bureau of Fisheries In Bristol Bay
! and near Afognak, and would not
, affect the rest of Alaska.
Removal of Certain Gear
Ho called attention to the prov!
• sion for the removal of bate fixed
| and moveaible appliances tha uso ot
j which operated as an exclusive right
; of fisheries. This could be
, accomplished by the commission
l after a hearing called upon a peti
i tion of 200 citizens. This, he aa'-l
I applies to seines of various s rts as
i well as traps.
These provisions would guard I lie
i rights of the people of the Territory.
These rights have been given to the
certain interests under the reserva
tion system, he charged. He warned
the legislators that all kinds of ar
guments would be presented to them
! to present such legislation from be
I ing accomplished.
Attacks The Empire
Taking from his bundle ot papers a
copy of The Empire, he said that the
movement had already been initiated
by "the Organ of the Interests.” He
read the editorial to which reference
was made above. He alleged it rep
resented the interests of the priv
ileged class and referred to The Em
pire as “the Organ that always stands
for the Interests.” He also referred
to an article in the same edition of
The Empire regarding Gilbert Ches
terton starting a publication to rep
resent the masses, which he said
ihad “crept in" the paper. The ideal
expressed there -by Mr. Chesterton,
he said, should apply equally to the
fisheries of Alaska.
-Asked by Mr- Dimond If he con
sidered the provisions of House Bijl
TNo. 49 as being sound and wise,
he said he had not given it seriou
consideration and didn’t care to et
press an opinion on it.
Roden Against Traps
Henry Roden declared lie was oj
posed 'to the traps and they ought t
be eliminated, if not immediately, a
toast within a few years. House Bi.1
No. 49, he said, is a good bill bu
'he. thought it might be 4n violatio
otf the Organic Act. He said, lypw
ever, he had a good deal of reaper
for the opinion of Mr. Hellentha
and believed that the Legislator
could safely take a chance on passim
the bill.
Heckman Points to Difficulties
Air. Heckman said the bill sounde
good but pointed out to him wha
seemed insuperable difficulties to it
practical operanon. Canneries un
dor different ownership might com
bine and those owned iby the sami
interests could combine to defeat it
Mr. HellenthaJ took issue with thh
statement.
'The Grant bill, he contended, doe
not go ifar enough. He contendei
there are only two ways to stop fish
Ing. one to set an early closed perioi
and let 23 per cent of the fish escap*
to the spawning grounds. The othei
he said, was to go to the canners
'books, get the dates of the runs o
fish and shut operations down sufif
clently early to permit escapement.
'Limiting the operations of certali
kinds of gear, 'he continued, wt>ul
not protect the fish- If' traps tout
not be used, big seine boats woul<
operate and the canners would ge
the ifisb even if the use of seine
i were stopped. The only way out o
i the difficulty is to limit the pack
If a particular district Is now pack
ing 1..000,000 cases, cut the packs o
all canneries in it down 25 per cen
and increase the escapement Jus
that much. If new canneries openei
up In the same district, he added
make still 'further reductions In eacl
cannery’s pack and put the new
comers on the same basis as tbosi
already established. This would elim
inate the charge of monopoly. "I
you don’t do that your fish are goini
to be destroyed.” he said.
Washington System Described
At Mr. Heckman's request Mr. Zip
described briefly the operations a
the Washington state fisheries ser
vice. It is composed of a Plsheriei
Director and a commission compose!
of a business man and two cannert
who are appointed by the Director
This commission, he said, has arbi
trary powers as to the seasons foi
fishing and establish them for th«
Various kinds of salmon,
j At the conclusion of the hearing
'Senator Chamberlin said it is evt
dent that accurate knowledge of con
dttions prevailing in the industry li
the several districts is not availabh
for the Legislature. No orovisloi
has been made to get It. He urgei
that It is the duty of the Legislature
to provide money for the Alaska Cora
mission to gather statistics on the
industry in its various phases.
