SUTHERLAND ASKS CHANGE
IN TERRITORIAL GAME LAW
(Anchorage Times.)
A partial revision of the fur-buying
license system, provision for residents
to export trophies and extending the
scope of the authority of the Alaska
Game Commission to include any
game animals or birds that may be
brought mtto the Territory, are the
main features of a measure recently
introduced in Congres by Delegate
Dan Suttherland to amend the Alaska
Game Act of 1925.
Severs lof the old provisions of the
law are sought to be changed and
aome new matter is proposed to be
guided.
Would Strengthen Enforcement.
The bid seeks to put teeth in the
enforcement clause by adding a
^clause to obviate the necessity for
search warrants. It reads as fol
lows:
•‘Any otticer Jjr employee empow
ered to enforce this Act shall have
authority without warrant to search
any camp, camp outfit, pack or pack
animal, automobile, wagon or other
vehicle, sled, or any boat or vessel of
the United States in the territorial
ivaters of the United States, when
such otticer or employee has reason
able cause to believe that such camp,
lamp outfit, pack or pack animal, au
tomobile, wagon or other vehicle,
aled, boat, or vessel has therein or
ihereon any of the animals or birds,
nr parts thereof, protected by this
Act, taken, possessed, sold, intended
foor sale, or transported contrary to
law.-'
Another amendment provides that
jthe Commission can issue regulations
under which animals escaping from
fur farms may be recaptured bf their
^owners.
Export Licenses Provided.
Two forms of export licenses are
provided for by the bill. One of these
pvould permit residents to ship Out
pide trophies of game animals and
birds for mounting and return on
payment of $1 for each such trophy.
The other would permit the shipment
pf tropohies, at the discretion of the
Commission, by resident sto persons
in the states as gifts, but not for sale,
pn the payment of $5 for each animal
pnd $1 for each bird.
License Fees Changed,
t is proposed to cut the resident
fronting license fee fro m$2 to $1.
There is no such license required at
present, altthough the Commission is
autthorised by the law to impose one
when it seea fit. The bill also pro
vides that holders of trapping li
censes are not required to toke out
resident hunters’ licenses.
While at present persons holding
trapping licenses, fur-buyers' li
censes, etc., are required to keep a
record of all transactions made under
the license, there is no authority for
the Commission to examine them.
Ihe bill seeks to bestow that author
ity on it.
Redace Corpora! .on Fee.
A reduct on from tne present f 2 0
fMt for fur baying resident sssocia
HgBp. 9C copartners i'l s to $10 tor
.ach member isc proposed. Such li'ms
must be composed en'wly of resi
dentts a.,d organize ! i ncier he laws
of the Temtory.
This, however, does not apply to
"co-operative stores organized exclu
sively and for native Indians, Es
kimos or half-breeds, or to stores op
erated by missions exclusively for
native Indians, Eskimos or half
breeds. buch stores are permitted to
buy furs without payment of any i^e
whatsoever.
The fee for non-residents and non
resident corporations is cut from $d50
to Su'o, but each agent of such coin
puny is required to take out a $10
license, if a resident of the Territory,
and $100 if a non-resident.
f irms composed of aiiens, or in
cluding an alien in its ownership, and
aliens are required to take out a $5o0
license. And no license may be issued
to any agent whose principal has not
first taken out the proper kind of li
cense.
Autharity is granted to all mem
bers of the Commission, and its
agents, employees and persons so au
thorized by it, to issue any form of
license. Customs officers are also au
thorized to issue resident export
licenses and permits. Where oaths
are required for application for li
censes or permits, ail officers and
employees of the Commission, and
postmasters, also, are empowered to
administer such oaths.
Other Changes Made.
•Several v; ner changes in the pres
ent law are sought to be made. One
of these provides that the holder of
any license, upon a second ionviction
of violation of the law, shall not be
entitled to hold another license for
he period of one year from the date
of forfeiture, and on a third convic
tion. for five years.
Resident privileges cannot be exer
cised by any person unless he snail
first have resided in Alaska one year
immediately preceding.
It is made a misdemeanor to de
stroy or deface any property of the
Commission. This covers boundary
markers, seals or animals, public
notices, boats, sleds, dog teams, para
phernalia, equipment, etc.
WIEN RESTRAINED FROM
FLYING, BY ORDER OF COURT
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
judge Cecil U. Clegg this mornii.g
grantedt he motion filed by the A.as
uan Airways for a temporary re
straining order to prevent Ralph
W ien, local aviator, from engaging m
tne airplane business in any capacity
for competitive firms. This order
will be effective until after the case
m which the Alaskan Airways seeks
permanent injunction has been heard.
The court set forth that the de
fense had failed to prove that the
plaintiff vjas operating in Alaska
prior to the purchase of the Wien
Alaska Airways, one of the contro
versial points at issue.
“The motion is granted, said the
court's opinion in part, “but it will
be limited to restraining the defend
ant from enternng into competition
in any way with the plaintiff in the
conduct of its airplane business in the
Serond, Third and Fourth judicial di
visions of Alaska and from entering
into any business that will conflict in
:.ny way with the plaintiff in the con
duct of its airplane business in said
divisions of Alaska, and from becom
ing interested in any company or co
partnership engaged inn said divi
sions in the airplane business, and
from accepting employment with any
a.rptane company, corporation or as
sociation except the plaintiff company
as pilot, mechanic or manager in said
divisions of Alaska and such re
straints and injunctions against the
.t'er.dant shall o.nu.nue until the final
termination of tms action, and be
come op-’ ative upon the filing of the
?:a: acory undertaking in the sum of
glgOO ar t roved ? the court."
