has not arrived to turn the fisheries over to the control of the territory, al though he admits that in time Alaska should have jurisdiction over it just as the separate states of the union have over the industry within their areas. Mr. Bower says federal con- trol should be continued in order to get capital interested in the fisheries.
 The fact is, however, that the state 'ment of MT. Bower does not warrant his conclusion that the time has not arrived for territory control. Rather 1t shows the necessity for it. He proves that it has been impossible, after eight years of effort, to secure much unani- mity of action among those interested in the fisheries industry as is neces- sary to get action from congress, and he further shows that the capital and equipment we already have is suffi- cient to overfish the waters of the territory.
 However there is no jurisdiction for the contention that capital would be afraid of local control and supervision of the fisheries. No people are so greatly interested in securing capital for Alaska development as those who have their money invested in the territory and who live and work in the north The fisheries constitute the major industry in Alaska and when a territorial legislature would take up the solution of problems surrounding it they would be approaching the big gest material thing we have to con- sider Instead of thrusting it aside as congress does until something of more general interest is settled the territor- ial lawmakers would be considering the proposition of greatest general in- terest. Capital is attracted by eff cient legislation and supervision by those who know what they are about. None knows better than the man of affairs that the people of Alaska un- derstand the needs of the fisheries industry of the territory better than congressman who live 5000 miles or more away.

It it is, worth while being Republi- can, it's worth while to work at the job. You can of course be content with casting your own vote and wish ing the cause well, but elections are not won that way. It takes active effort, organization and cooperation to get things done in politics. This is one of the most important cam paigns in our national history and there is no occupation more worthy of your active effort than that of help ing the nation get squarely back on it's feet again by returning the Repub- lican party to power. From this work no one is barred by age, sex, occu- patton or location. Everyone has some influence. Use yours where and how it will do some good, realizing that in so doing you are serving not only your country but your party.

THE FISHERIES INDUSTRY

The comprehensive and authorita- tive article prepared by Ward T. Bower, head of the Alaskan activities of the bureau of fisheries, is of gen. eral interest in Alaska where fishing has become the premier industry.
 MT. Bower has left little to say as to the need for legislation, for the projection of the salmon. He shows clearly that the waters of Alaska are being overfished, and that the supply already has begun to decrease. He very frankly states that mo further ex- pansion seems possible at this time without serious encroachment on the supply of salmon. In fact" he con- tinues, further retrenchment is now considered necessary if the salmon fishery is to be continued as a prof. table commercial. industry"
 The history of the development and retrogression of the, industry as given by MT. Bower shows that remedial and protective action has been delayed too long by the government. For fourteen years there have been no changes in regulations affecting the industry, al though radical changes have been made in methods and operation, and conditions now are totally different from those which obtained at the time the present laws were enacted. MT. Bower admits that this is true, but claims, and Alaskans will grant that he is correct, that the department has been unable, after eight years of ef- fort, to secure new legislation on the subject although it has given both houses of congress true and accurate accounts of the conditions demanding new laws. Moreover, states MT. Bow CT, the limit of protection has been reached under the law and department tai jurisdiction cannot be further ex- tended
 The 1919 salmon pack was AZ per cent in catch below that of 1918, and indications are that the pack of the present year will be even less than that of last. There is no use in at tempting to conceal the fact that this is critical time for the industry. It would be well to looks facts squarely in the face, as MT. Bower has looked them, and seek to devise ways and means to meet the crisis. The chief difficulty in framing a new Alaska fishery code, he says, has been in se- curing the coordination of views among divergent interests. But at the same time it is admitted that new legislation has been requested which congress seemingly will not pass. After eight years of effort without result it seems reasonable to conclude that con. gress does not realize the importance of the situation.
 In spite of the facts that he has given relative to the failure of con- gress to meet the situation in Alas ka, Mir. Bower concludes that the time

If anyone can mention a Democratic presidential candidate whose election Sam Gompers hasn't deemed essential to the welfare of labor during the past quarter of a century, we'll be ready to admit that wage earners ought to pay attention to his quadren- nial proclamation commanding. the workers to vote the Democratic na. tional ticket.
