The Department of Commerce
and Labor will cause to be intro

enacted into a law. will increase
the tax on salmon about one humid

will also provide that these taxes
must be paid in cash, which is con-
sidered more tangible asset than
sworn affidavits stating that GER
tain number of salmon fry have
been planted each year by the fish
canneries in lieu of taxes. The
fact that the canneries last year
cleaned UP 100000 on very
small investment, and that the
streams are being depleted of this
valuable fish has already been
drawn to the attention Of the Sem

course the fish trust lobby will
fight the bill, but it is not likely
that they will get away with it.
