 Must Control Fish Industry
 "The great war has shown the people of the world the necessity of becoming eaters of fish The necessity fol the use of fish will continue for future years We must of necessity control fishing industries England has controlled hers in the past.
 'Now the attitude of Canada has entirely changed. She wants put down the bars and let fish in her te ory but she wants to do the Our secretary of commerce has made it plain that he thinks we should do likewise He says we are common people involved in the same struggle and all boundary bars should be let down and that all industry should be controlled by national econ omy, that that business and work should be done in the country which can do 1t the cheapest
 T reminded him that so long as we are seperate na on when peace comes our country must protect it's people. While engaged in common cause we must nations without boundaries, but we must again be dependent upon any nation for our commerce on the seas or our fish foods
 This industry is now centering at Prince Rupert as the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad furnishes the shortest route the great Eastern markets Unless we can center this industry along the shore of Alaska where it belongs economically the cenerng of the industry at Prince R~ pert will ultimately result in it becoming Canadian as our great New England fishing industry became centered in Newfoundland
 No plea of economic law can prevail in the Alaska situaOn this industry rightly and economically should be centered along the Alaska coast where it extends for distance of over 5000 miles, from Ketchkan to Kotzebue Never again will this nation be dependent on foreign yes ses to carry its commerce. nor can it permit of any of its great food resources being diverted from its control"
 In conclusion MrHughes said; T have discussed this problem in the way it should be covered have said just enough to make everyone realize the importance of doing all to have our great fishing resources developed
 under the American flag, by an American fleet manned by American fishermen"

Editor Record.
As the column devoted to the
People S Forum" is free for the
discussion of subjects of interest
to the general public, | want to
bring III this message something
especially Of interest al this time,
politics.
Some Of the previous writer's
have given lengthy discussions on
candidates. but have failed to
give any statistics or foundation
on which 10 draw conclusions.
We are harboring at this time
many useless county officials.
which if dispensed with would
mean a saving of from 100000
to $250,000 each year to the eoun-
Ity. And this money could then
be devoted to the road and bridge
fund, or put to more useful adj
vantage.
Such offices as road Inspector,
divorce proctor, head janitor, etc.
with salaries of 1925 per month,
which have been recently created
and very much found fault with,
should be eliminated.
What can the taxpayers think
of the commissioner from this
district who preferred to retain
James j. Callaghan on the county
payroll after he had been con
yicted on criminal charge OF
fraudulent expenditure Of county
funds in spite of the protest Of
the Woman's Legislative Fed
Grafton Of King County" and
other organizationsY Lou Smith
NEEDLESSLY expended thous-
ands Of dollars on the Emlmclaw
road this past two years, which,
| if it had been expended on roads
where much needed, would have
been decided benefit TO the indi-
vidual taxpayer. He is not con
seryative as to the cornty's need.
LATE Hamilton S past record in
office of ruthless expenditure and
graft are such that little need be
said of him except that we do net
want again a recurrence OF such
scandal as "robbing dead bodies
of their shrouds and conducting
political campaigns Oh money re-
ceived from county owned auto
mobiles, - and numerous other
wasteful extrayagances.
Herman Nielsen is "a successful
farmer and an honest man, one
whom we have every confidence
will fill the office efficiently, hon
orably and conscientiously who
will spend the taxpayers money
so that every dollar expended
will bring 100 per cent benefit to
the county,
Under the closest scrutiny no
flaw can be found in Mr.. Nelson's
past record, as neighbor, citizen
or friend; with a character be
yond question III private life. As
patriot he is irTepreachable. He
has given two sons to the service
of Uncle Sam-one boy is now III
France and the other has enlisted
in the navy. lie has purchased
over $l,100 worth OF Liberty
Bonds, pledged himself to pay
$4,000 per month 10 the Red
Cross and $500 per month for
War Savings Stamps. Could we
make a better choice than to elect
this honest citizen and stainless
patriot to the Office Of county
commissioners
Taxpayer, think well upon the
record of these three candidates

with blue pearl given by husband

that arises Is: Who has the pearl? The
