The Wrangell sentinel., 1919-10-30
Advocates Abolition of Present System
 of Administration of
 Alaska Fisheries

The Sentinel is in receipt of a copy of an open letter addressed to the chairman of the Alaska Fish Commission, and signed "The Fishermen of Craig" The body of the letter, which we have been requested to publish is as follows:
 Sir:
 We note in press dispatches that the Secretary of Commerce has called another meeting for Nov. 20, in Seattle, to get information for the protection of Alaska fisheries.
 It would seem to us if he wanted real enlie htenment he would have started an investigation up here and got some first hand informa- tion, but we presume, acting under the impression that we are in- fants' in the eyes of the law and have self-appointed "mammy (afflicted with kleptomania) and that We do not ourselves know what is good for us, he goes to Seattle to get 'doped up.
 Before proceeding further try this on your photograph:
 Hush, little baby, don't you cry.
 You can eat Dogfsh. bye and bye.
 Highly recommended by the Bureau of Fisheries. Offices: Wash ington Seattle.
 We, who call Alaska home, many of us having been here from the start to the near finish of our sal mon fisheries, have witnessed such wanton waste, such an exhibit of official stupidity, incompetence, in- difference and responsibility that we do not feel inclined to take part in any damphool proceedings staged 10 let them get by"
 We helleve it is time we realized the seriousness of the situation, the utter hopelessness of the old rotten system and the sure results to follow if we continue that course. Either put away some specimens and forget the salmon or start re- constructive measures on bed rock foundation. Temporary meas ures will only prolong the agony.
 We have no speculative theories to deal with to restore our fisheries, nothing but the exercise of common sense and elementary business principles, both lacking heretofore.
 It is an established principle of common law that the rights of fish cry belong to the Grown (the peo- ple).
 The State has the right to limit the number of -canneries and say under what conditions those li- censed to run are operated. It is believed if these are enhanced in value by limiting their number, that increment should be absorbed by the State.
 Legally, we are minors and until we reach majority, Cor statehood our fisheries are in the hands of a guardian, gloritied Coal Oil Johnnie, who has squandered the riches in natural resources entrust- ed to him with the abandon of drunken sailor, and will surely fin ish our fisheries P. D. Q. if we do not get into the game and assert our rights.
 He has encouraged every out lander from Bellingham to Babylon to come up here in the fishing sea- son and ravage our fair heritage as the Huns ravaged Belgium. Made them believe they had perfect right to do so for, torsooth, is not this free country?
 Now, what do you want to do, send to Washington via Seattle and ask him to please send a DO.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1919-10-30

out without fear or favor, our idea would be to have a commission ot three appointed, who could be held responsible, could not be hogtied by red tape or avoid their responsi- bilities by passing the buck. One commissioner to be nominated by the people of Alaska, one commits. sioner nominated by the packers and one commissioner by the Fed eral authorities and give them com plete control. Quality them to linn 1t the canneries, regulate the pack, restrict fishing in such areas from time to time as necessary, to stock our streams, clean out the trout, maintain hatcheries, in short, or ganize the whole industry into some efficient system.
 It can be assumed that two of these commissioners would be men of action who know the game and know the country, what is needed and how to get it if left alone and given a free hand, and not some political waif who knows nothing beyond the fact that he needs the money.
 The federal tax on salmon should be placed at their disposal for op- erating expenses and a good appro- priation secured to start them off. This tax has been paid into the Federal treasury for years, osten- sibly to perpetuate the industry and squandered by every log roll ing political peewee in congress who could get at it, largely to fur ther his own personal ends.
 This commission should work in harmony and interlock with our own Territorial Fish commission which should be provided with funds from license fees and taxes to con- tinue the work ably initiated, and to act as an understudy prepared to take over the work in the future.
 Suppose you call a meeting in Alaska sometime In the near future and see if we can not get together and work out a sane plan of action and be prepared to say to these Christian Science statesmen some- thing like this:
 We have got your number and the goods to prove it, We are tired of your bluff and your bull, vour bunk. and your all-around kultusness.
 We did not work, and save, and give, and eat chicken iced to save this country for the likes of you to run as you damn please any longer. We have arranged for a decent, efficient administration of our es- tate that will make for better citi- zedship and a higher order of Am ericanism, which we firmly believe in. Come across before we sic the dogs on you.
 Governments do not lead-thev follow. Nothing but the insistent demands of an aroused public con- science will get us anywhere.
 Let us get together and tell the brutal truth and unite on some en- frightened plan ot action. It is up to us. Respectfully,
 The Fishermen of Craig.

BIG It IN OVERALLS
BIZ DR. A CRANE


News comes that the Krupp factory at Essen, in Germany, where
the monster cannon were manufactured to advance the cause Of
weltmaeht, Is TO be turned 10 industrial uses, and viii hueeforh
produce farm implements, o something OF the sort.
That viii be a good thing for Germany And il would be a good
thing for all the other nations TO follow the example.
One way 10 prevent war Is 20 stop making implements OF war
II a ~psvchologic certainty that a nation which goes ON for a long
time manufacturing wherewifh to shoot by aud by will go crazy ana
ahoot them.
and dkchargng his revolver Is the one that hasn't any revolver
This is entirely too simple TO reneh the exalted Intelligence OF the
average statesman. II even reaches the isolnticn of being darncd sim
pie. Plain common sense has few friends.
But, II the able patriots and bold, brave fhe-eaters will not allow
the world TO disarm land the omnipotent ghosts OF the Past are WIN
them, and all nations must 90 on in the business OF bankrupung
themselves in order to maintain rival armies and fleets and If the
only way 10 keep the peace rs for everybody to SIT N hs front sSp
with a Gun. al least we ought ~ take the gun making trade out of the
hands Of private parties and lodge il exclusively with the state.
Government ownership of Railroads, Telegraphs, and Public
schools may be- as bad ~ some have painted H. may reek OF Socialism
and threaten the extinction Of private initiative, and all that, but OF a
surety this cannot be said Of Government Ownership OF munitions
No firm ever makes a battleshiP o r a axissnineh gun for private
use. Only the State purchases such goods They have but one Gus
toner. and ought to have but one Maker.
Besides, When war comes all bnsings conditions Of competition
are set aside. The Government has but one rle-to win the war
II cares nothing for expenses. Waste and extravaganza make no
matter. That Is where Mr.. Muniilon Maker ihriyes aud prospers as
a green bay tree.
Armament should be made by soldiers quite az much as ii should
be operated by soldiers. For no Government in the crisis Of war
should be held mp by 1trike If men at $50 a month are expected to
70 10 battle whether they Ike the job or not, surely men getting from
s5 10 500 a day making powder and shot ought not be allowed to quit
work because they don't like the quality Of their soup.
Also, taking the Armament business out Of the hands Of private
concerns would do much toward cooling the ardor Of many Of the
ready advocates of am appeal TO arms. The krupp people some years
ago we're directly charged with propaganda work to stir up war Tor
the advancement Of thar own interests
II would be a long step forward II war was made s o that at least
no one eould profit by II.
II we cannot, as a world, agree to quit manufacturing instruments
Of destruction, at least we can, and ought IA, put that business where
II belongs, IN the hands Of the Nation.
II should be added to the Constitution Of every State in Chrsien-
dom, that
the purpoAe Of which Is TO take life. Such privilege Is reserved for the
State.

THE title above and the statement below are by
Porter Oaks. in charge Of the campaign for
relief IL the near east. now under way. II
YOU arc Indifferent 10 the starving thousands IN
the near east, just read this statement by Major
Oaks.and think IL over. We believe you'll act in
a substantial way before this drive" for the relief
Of hungry babies ends;
IF you had been born an Armenian instead of nm
American, and = subject Of Turkey instead Of a free
citizen Of the United States, this would be your
condition today;
"Your kid.broiher would be a slavc.scryant in
the dirty house 81 a dirtier Turk.
"Y0m own sister would be the ravished. abused,
lccrcd at property Of a foul. minded Mohammcdan.
"Yonr father and mother would be crouched,
stark. cold and lifelcss by the side Of the road that
leads from the Turkish dominion, where they fell in
their struggle toward food and freedom.
"Your wife would be sitting IN the barren desert
10 which she was dcporied aud driven, starving and
heart broken, with your hungry. dying baby clutch
ing at IT, mothers parchcd. withcrcd breast.
And you'd be- dend-brutally butchercd after
they had deprived you Of a man. right TO fight for
right. and stripped you 20 The skin of all You had.
These multiple tragedies have come to a million
homes IN the Turk infested lands Of the east. While
the world = police nations concentrated their efforts
90 cxterminate the snarling mad-dog Of Prussian-
i'm in Europe, the carriony buzzard Of Turkey,
temporarily free from the surveillance OF q justly
ever-suspiciOus world. attacked the helpless pco-
pies under Turkish dominion. sinking is talons
into the flesh OF the weak, and leaving IN its wake
death, disease, starvation aud desolation Ia Chris
tions and Jews.
'sThe allied nations wiz undoubtedly see 10 il that
the massacres are AT am end. liut those Of the past
have left four million dcsolate, starved, sick, help
less mcn. women and children who must die during
the next nix months unless help comes from Tener'
b ons individuals.
"To give them food-to help them liye-to save
their livcs-or to be- half-brother 20 a Turk, adding
vour neglect % their persecution. aud letting them
starve 10 death-that must be- the decision of every
man when he is asked 10 contribute 10 the Armenian
aud Syrian relief campaign.
'Thc drive begins February third.
