W|CKERSHAM FIGHTING
FOR PRESERVATION
or FISHERIES TAXES

The following communication
relative to the fight the Alaska
delegate is making to preserve the
right to tax the fisheries, was re-
ceived by Mayor Diamond On the
last mail. The copy of the COM
munication referred to by MIR.
" ickersham as having been adj
dressed by him to Mr.. Alexander

complete insight into the fisheries
matter and shows conclusively
what the people OF Alaska will
lose in the event that they allow
the department Of commerce to
steal away their rights for the
benefit of the fisheries.

OF bills depriving the territorial
Legislature of the power TO raise
revenue by taxing fisheries prop
erty in Alaska as the property OF
other citizens is taxed. | thank
you for sending me this telegram
for it comes at time when it is
needed. Every effort is being
made by the bureaus in Washing
ton to take away from Alaska
what little power we got in the
enabling act creating the legisla-
ture. Secretary Redheld OF the
department Of commerce is the
worst OF these pirates. He has no
respect for the rule Of the people

build up an autocratic bureau in
Alaska for the control OF our fish

thing but the air. OF course, | am
going TO do everything | can to

and it is not only great satisfac-
ton but also Of great assistance
to ME to receive a telegram such

it and beg that you assure the
city council OF Nome that nothing

tcct the territory against this pi-
ratio encroachment
