Now, an added poulation to our

no more in proportion, in the other

they would certainly have to pur-

A decreased fare would put US IN

citions.

 emasculated body Alaskans were so
 delighted to accept in lieu of real Home Rule.
 The Industrial Worker therefore quotes from Redfield's report tha. section which advises the prohibi- tion of the Alaska legislature having
 the right to tnx the fisheries Of the
 territory s K N fi
 Redfeld explains his position very 1 fully and very clearly. It Is made i in the interests of the cannery com panies, and in the interest of the iBureau of Fisheries as an fad :nnct of the cannsries. ss''s'' / tf!S'4'a s's,'''. It is wholly remote from any poss- ibie concern for Alaska This is the same to the Bureau as an estate is to a wealthy, absentee landlord who insists that the rents be the highest possible and the care ex- tended to the estate only such as may properly benefit the receipt Of the highest possible rents. ts The idea of this great source of
 wealth, this greatest of all assets,
 this most magnificent of resources
 being properly conserved for the purpose of serving the interests of
 the Territory and it's people, ann the interests of tho United States
 and it's people, is not even consider ed. There is nothing would indicate
 that the Bureau of Fisheries knows
 that it has control of one of the most valuable food supplies of the world, to be properly administered to serve the needs of the CoLimon-
 wealth as being part of the highest function of the Bureau. No such thing. The Bureau sees an immense field for profit in the Fisheries which as a field for profit Is to be pro- perly conserved and anything inter- feres with that profit is to be con demned. ga @tS

tive condition goes, the evil lies in no territorial control being excr- ciscd over the industry and not in the curbing of the right to tax that industry.
 In point of fact the legislature over the fishing industry hes no con- trol. In point of fact the Depart ment of Commerce has control that is onesidedly' in favor of the exploitcrs of the industry. " ses
 All the repo1 ts, the Eblcst of thcm and the most questionable, have shown that the point of view that obtains in the Bureau of Fisheries fs the point of view of tho cannely company. The protection of the in- dustry only iti so far as 1t subserves the canncryman's interest ia the pro- lection sought to be extended. Ana therefore it is that the Bureau of Fisheries objects to an invasion of its field lest it diminish the profits 'of the Fishery companies. asa H 7 Alaskans and Alaskan legislatures are making a mountain out of mole hill and denouncing the effect instead of the cause when they join hue and cry against legislation by Congress which proposes to prohibit territorial control over tho fisheries itself. There is no good reasoa why the territorial control over the fisheries should be in any degree less than that over the mining in- dustry. There is every reason, as tho fishing industry is operated, why it should be greater.
 F. Labor conditions in the canneries unless when they don their Sunday best when about to be inspected are scandalous. They are tafftainount to pconage, and they are subject to no review by tho torritoriaf 'fegisla- ture unless such review as Is admit, ted the members in the form of me- morials to Congress. Great wealth is being taken from tho country ann no legislative control Is allowed to be exercised as to the economic ac- tiyities Involved in the abstraction of such wealth. Such legislative cor trol Is not necessarily 'taxatioh. h. deed taxation is only an Incidental matter connected with functional control should be left entirely with the legislature This is not sug- gested so that the fishery lobby at Juneau should become more exten- sive, but because If the territory Is going to have real government by Alaskans, it, certainly should exercise full, competent and responsible control over the industries and re- sources of the country.
 From Redfields point of view ana and even from practical point of view, the division of control and tax able right is undesirable. But 1t is undesirable to a muchS greater extent that Congress should reserve to the Bureau of Fisheries absolute control of the industry. That pro.
 perly belongs to the legislature un-
