Seanfen's Union of America at its
recent convention in Galveston.
I'VE demand the inclusion in

opportunity to traffic in the needs

APPEAL OF COMMISSIONER DARWIN
TO CONSERVE FISHING INDUSTRY

only be issued to American citizens
or to corporations, the majority OF
whose stock is held by American
citizens.
ITO increase the fish taxes SO
that the Fisheries Department will
be entirely supported by the fish
ing industry and no part of the ex-
penscs be borne by the general tax
payer.
3--To establish sufficiently long
closed seasons to permit of suf-
ficient number of fish reaching to
the hatcheries and to the natural
spawning grounds so that the sup
ply may be increased, and if pos
sible. restored to its former di-
mensions.
ITO prevent the issuance OF
any more fish trap or purse seine
licenses in this state than were in
existence on January !, 1919. This
provision will restrict the opera
ton of large fishing appliances,
but in nowise will interfere with
the activities of the small fisher
men.
In order to secure the necessary
information upon which to base the
provisions of the bill, this depart
ment has made use of the services
of Professor Trevor Kincaid, the
head of the Biological Department
of the University of Washington,
and of Professor e. Victor Smith,
the head of the Fisheries School of
the University of Washington. In
addition | have participated in the
hearings conducted by the Inter
national High Commissions of the
United States Government and the
Dominion of Canada, who have AL
SO been seeking a way for the re-
Mobilization of the great Sockeye
run of Puget Sound. The bill en-
braces the tentative agreement ar
rived at by the two International
High Commissions in some particu-
lars, but in others is not quite SO
drastic. ,---
Opposing the bill at Olympia is
an Austrian lobby maintained by
Austrians and by those fishing in
terests who have no regard for the
future welfare of the state, but are
simply interested in getting every
dollar out of the industry at this
time that it is possible to secure,
even at the expense of destroying
the industry itself.
The fishery of this state is its
third greatest resource. We are
talking about saving our land for
our soldiers. Doesn't it appeal to
you that we should conserve our
waters for our American citizens
as well? Can you see any reason
why we should let a lot of Aus
trians, who have no intention of
becoming citizens of this country
and who did not even declare their
intention until forced to do so by
this Department in order to con-
tinue fishing, proceed with their
work of destroying this great re-
source for their private profit?
If the provisions of this bill ap-
peal, to you | trust you will make
favorable mention of the same in
your paper. Or, if this does not
appeal to you as the best plan to
secure results, won't you sit down
and write to your Senators and
Representatives urging their sup
port of your own plan?
Respectfully.
l.. II. DARWIN,
State Fish Commissioner.
