FISH MEMORIAL
IS INTRODUCED
BY CHAMBERLIN
On Par with Grant Memorial
in Condemnation of Res
ervation Policy.
Tlio second memorial of the jjres
ult session condemning utterly the
creation of fish reserves was intro
duced in the Senate this morning by
Senator Chamberlin, denouncing the
present policy of the Department of
Commerce in the strongest of terms
and demanding'immediate abolition of
such reservos. In many ways it is
considered even more denunciatory
than the Grant memorial which
passed the House about 10 days ago.
The Grant memorial is still in the
hands of the Senate Committee on
(Fisheries, of which Mr Chamberlin
■is chairman. As both contain almost
Identical matter, it is believed pos
sible that the Senate may substitute
the one- introduced today for the
House memoriail.
Bounty on Orca
In a memorial introduced by Sena
tor Ayct, the Federal government is
asked to put a bounty on orca, or
ttlllcr whales, of 1100 each. Mr.
Ayer said this was designed to pro
tect the seal herds in their migra
tions, thousands being killed each
year. It da suggested that the pro
posed bounty bo paid out of the reve
nues from the Pribilof Islands sealing
industry

The Chamberlin fish memorial fol
lows:
“Your mamtniadiots. the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Al- '■
a ska 'Legislative Assembly respec
tively ,represent:
“We deplore anl protest against
tiro creation of fish reserves in the
territory of Alaska whereby a largp
part of the waters of Alaska have
boon parceled out among a number
of persons and corporations to be ex
Clusively used by thorn for salmon
fishing, an I no other persons per- ■
inlttod to fish therein, as violative
of the principles of tho Declaration J
of Indei>endcnce ami of tho Constitu |
tiem and as not capable even of serv- <
ing any good end Our protest against
the crest-ion and maintenance of such ^
fisheries reserves is based on the i
following grounds:
"First. Tho reserves have been a
made by an unwarranted suspension 1
of tho law of tho land through the 1
fiat of the executive department of *
tho government This is never '
Justifiable, and least of all wlion, as |
In the present instance, there -Is an- >
othor remedy for tho ovals of exist- 1
ing conditions readily attainable. 1
The creation of such reoorvoa ernbod- 1
iee the principle of a government by *
men and not by laws, and places live
fortunes of citizens of the United 1
States at the mercy of official whim. r
And viewed from the standpoint of 1
principle, the creation of fisheries a
rowrves in Alaska is an arbitrary t
act which the pooplo of Alaska ought
not be expected to tolerate without 1
protost or complaint;
“Second: The reserves so created j <
arc monopolistic in character and
thus repugnant to the principles of ■
governmemt which w'e havo been I
taught to ror.pect and do respect. The
entire waters of eortaln districts of
Alaska have been divided up among
certain persona, firms and corpora
tions for their exclusive fishing, the ,
owners of each cannery being given ,
'the right to fish in certain waters ,
and all other persons excluded there I
Cram. Whatever might bo claimed |,
for arbitrary reservations generally, ;
</n the ground of weooaaity or ex |
podlottcy, there can be no justifies- *
lion for the reserves aa created and ,
st present const!Luted. The whole ;
spjntt anil tradition of American poll- ■
tlcal llfo and history is against mo
nopoly which has always boon con- ,
eldercd intolerable,
“Third. The reservations as at
present constituted will, in our opiu
Ion, iln no manner tend to the pre
servation of tlie sitpply of salmon to
etto particular instances, several of
'tho cannorlos in or adjacent to Cook s
Inlet have been ttmitod in their
salmon packs but the 1 ..nutations so
placod upon \hem is largely in ox
coas of thoir ifcorugo packs for the
last fivo ycarsi sd'that, even if these
cannerios kee* within the limits pre
eertbod by th« bureau, they may still
tako fish front the waters of Al
aska greatly in excoas of the average
number which they have been taking
tor yoary past. As to tho other rs
.placed in roserves, there is
sothli« to indicate that as many fish
Dfll /not be taken under tho regula
iiems made by the department for
the governing of reservo areas as,

ny purpose.
The Remedy
“For many years past more than
no-half of the wealth of Alaska ex
orted to tho United States has con
Isted of fish or some kind of fish
roduct3, end of such fish products
y far the greeter portion ha; been
aianed salmon. The laws governing
tie fishing of salmon in Alaska are
ntiquated and no longer serve to
refect the fish from extermination.
I any of Ihe salmon streams of Al
ska which formerly were fairly alive
1th salmon have been absolutely
epleted and no salmon can be found
t thorn, and. under the present law I
s at present administered, it will
tvt. be lc:ig ■before all of the salmon
vers a.nd streams of Alaska will
s absolutely depleted, and this great
>urce of wealth will be cut off from
le people of Alaska and of the
nited States.
"This condition of affairs has again]
ad again bean brought to the atten-j
on of the Congress of the Unite I,
tales and the responsible heads of I
io bureau and department having
> do with Alaska fisheries, A num
or of bills have been introduced Hi
Ion grows. But in spite of the agita
Icn for a change n existing laws so
s to adequately protect the salmon
ITeaillS Ol AIJ^KcI,
n no action- All of the people of
,la»ka are represented in th-e Al
aka Legislative Assembly; the mem
ers cf the Legislature tome from the
eople, know their needs and are
-sponsible to the people. The people
f Alaska are familiar with the fish- j
ries of Alaska and, if permitted,
roifld, through the Legislature of
Jaska, enact ilaws that would a,t once
rclect and preserve the salmon
t reams from depletion, permit of
proper fishing of salmon, and pro
ect the .rights of all engaged in the
ndustry. This can never he done
rc-m Washington, Long distance gov
irnnrent is always ineffectual and
pftc-n worse, and men tliousainds of
nilcs away cannot he made to under
itand the changing needs of an in
luwtry like the fishing industry,
vhere, in older to protect and pre
terve certain streams from rteplft
ion, new legislation must* from time
o time be enacted without delay.
Jnless the control or the fisheries
s turned over to the Alaska Lcgis
atiire, we despair of any solution
>y legislation, autocratic department
il order, or otherwise, anil have ouly
o look forward to the disappearance
>f the 'salmon from the waters of
Uas-ka.
“Alaska, and the people of Alaska,
mvo suffered much from reserves,
’he reserve of the coal and oil lands
f Alaska paralysed development ami
,1m oat depopulated the Territory,
’hose reserves were unjustifiable in
rineiplo and could not be defended
ven upon the ground of expediency,
nd, however the situation may ap
ear to 'the department or bureau
eadss at Washington, the high rao
ives and good Intentions of all of
vhoni ti,3 recognized and admitted,
ho reservation of the Tlshlng regions
s on precisely the same basis as the
■tlior reservations theretofore made,
nd, from the viewpoint of an Alas
;an, they cannot be justified or rea
onably defended.
''Wherefore, your memorialists, re
pcctfuUy pray that no further fish
eserves be created in Alaska; that
hose which have already been ere
tod be immediately abolished, and
hat the Alaska Legislative Assembly
,e granted full power and authority
o manage and control its fisheries.
“And so your memorialists will
ver pray.”
