We protest against the present method Of pro pogation Of fish under Federal con trol, which takes the license moneys created and collected in the first judicial division and spent for the release Of Red Frye, to replenish Bristol Bay and Frazer river. We favor the esta bishment and mainten- ance Of at least three humpback hateheries, from a fund created by Territorial taxation on the fishing industry in Southeastern Alaska; favor just and adequate taxation on fish and fisheries products to pro ]. tect and replenish the fisheries in each division; We believe that the fisheries question is one that proper ly belongs to the Territory Of Alaska, should be regulated by the laws of the Territory and administered over by officials created by the Territory We also oppose private hatcheries op- erated under the rebate system.
