EFFORT TO MAKE
REPORT ON FISH
MEMORIAL FAILS
Fight on Fish Reservation
Policy Renewed This Morn
ing Without Notice.
With no preliminary warning,
the flsli reservation policy scrap
burst anew in (.lie House this morn
ing when Representative Grant,
Chairman on Pish, Fisheries, Game
and Agriculture, handed In a re
port on House Memorial No. 1. in
troduced at the beginning of the
session by himself, offering in the
report a substitute memorial and
asking that it be considered under
suspended rules at once. Foster, of
Cordova, a member of the fame
committee, was on his fee: protest
ing against such a procedure.
Ho said there had never been a
meeting of the full committee in
cither the original memorial or it
substitute: that the committee mem
bers did not even have copies of the
substitute. To clarify the situation
a recess was taken to allow : ■
committee to get together. In the
committee room. Mr. Grant armed
with a single copy of the substi
tute memorial, asked number.; to
read it. and report on it at once.
Air. Price, prop: ting against rail
roading tactics, suggested that the
Chairman have eopie prepared for
all members and defer action until
Saturday morning. In this lie was
joined by Mr. Foster and when Mr.
Raelson, who had signed the report
which caused the upheaval, joined
in the request for more time, Mr.
Grant’s majority for making an im
mediate report was wiped out.
Renewed on Floor.
On reconvening of the House, Mr.
Grant formally withdrew his mo
tion to suspend the rules. When
the clerk, however, read the report
rare mine tilling the adoption of the
substitute bill, signed by Grant,
Kaolson and Callahan, Foster again
renewed his protest, saying that the
committee agreement provided that
no report would be made until to
morrow. Ho moved withdrawal of
the report and was spporteil by
Mr, Raelson. Mr. Grant said he had
no objection to such withdrawal. A
point of order was made against the
report by Mr. Italy, but was not sus
tained by Speaker Cole, who held
It was not made at the proper time.
During the debate on the proced
ure, members stated that one of the
reasons for asking immediate action
by the Committee in bringing the
memorial hark to the floor is ttiat
Delegate Sutherland desires to tie
heard on it. The Grant substitute
will probably he brought bark into
the House tomorrow morning and
a motion made to suspend the rules
and proceeding with the hearing.
OMIOU vwuivivHvv,
Seeking to pour oil on the
troubled waters, in a memorial
praising both Delegate Sutherland
and Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
Representative Staser, of Anchor
age, suggested this morning that
the tiwo officials get together in a
conference on the Alaska fisheries
situation. It expressed the con
fidence of tlie Legislature in both
officials and their liighmindedncss
and genuine desire to preserve the
salmon Industry from destruction)
and said "we feel sure that any |
differences which may have arisen
or may arts'' must be chiefly in tlie
promulgation of the rules and regu
lations governing the fisheries re
serves recently created, which, al
though probably working good to
the greatest number, may effect in
justice in certain specific instances
of which tile Delegate lias know-1
lodge."
Mr. Staser asked that (lie mern-j
orial he referred lo the Committee
on Judiciary and Federal Relations
rather than the Fisheries Commit-!
tee. Without objection from any
member, his request was granted.
STRICT ENFORCEMENT
OF LAWS DEMANDED
Tlie need for stricter enforcement ,
of the game laws and regulations
on the southern end of Kara no I
Island is evidenced by tlie fact that :
there are now scarcely any deer at
all south of the Sitka Hot Springs. |
according to George Rice, who re-j
oently came to Juneau from Sitka,
where he has resided since 1 h 14.
The deer on the south end of;
Baranof Island, he says, have been
preyed upon by fishermen and
others to such an extent that they’)
have become extinct.
