THE FISHERIES SCANDAL

A commission is coming north il the future to probe Delegate Suther lands charges of graft in the fisheries bureau. Delegate Sutherland charges that the bureau has handed over the principal Alaska resources to the fis trust composed principally of the Al aska Packers and the Pacific Ameri can Fisheries.
 Many charges and counter charges are flying around, the Delegate having apparently touched the bureau and the canneries where the epidermis is least thick.
 The Gateway believes that both par ties are right in the controversy in that the fisheries have taken no pains to save the fisheries, planting their canneries far up some of the streams, and destroying more fish than they use. The heads of the larger concerns, especially in the Bristol Bay district, have ignored the laws and have fois- ted dozens of drug addicts and insane upon the territory, with fair sprink- ling of criminals.
 They have interfered with the du. ties of the deputy marshals, and re- fused to assist them in suppressing or abating evils brought about by the China bosses. This is but small king dom, with the power of starving or running the local fishermen out of business.
 The remainder of the companies, who are trying to do the right thing by the territory, and are interested in keeping the supply of fish have had to suffer for the sins of the few. There are many cannery companies which obey the laws, bring a splendid class of men into the country, and see that they abstain from drugs and drunken paries. With these concerns there can be no quarrel nor can there be fault finding.
 The delegate has made a number Of strong charges which will undoubted- ly react upon him if not proven. He has included members of the presi dential cabinet in his allegations, ana has oyershot the mark in that he has stirred up something that will be hard 10 overcome the effluvium. We believe he is sincere in the matter and that he really believes the so-called fish trust is trying to hog-tie the industry and put the little fellows out of busi- ness. But We have seen no evidence oi worry on the part of the small con- cerrs; they are preparing to handle the customary business, and are going along with apparent unconcern and no lightning rods up. If the situation was as serious as We would be led to be- lieve they should be ringing for the patrol wagon and bringing upt he re- serves.
 It is undoubtedly true that the sup ply of fish is decreasing, but this is on account of prevailing laws, the can neries being allowed to fish up to the grass roots in the streams and hinder ing the free access of the fish to the spawning grounds. When this is stop- ped there will be plenty of fish for all. There are also many cannerymen who believe high case tax and higher license would keep the number of canneries down, and would not al low the markets to become glutted. Whatever the outcome of the investi- gation, it will not hurt the small con- cerns, and may curb some of the larg- CT ones. Alaska has holler coming, and once it gets it off it's chest ami cable relations may be resumed.

Once an old man and an old woman

but he had one fault. He never could
do anything. So soon as he put foot
TO ground or hand to plow, he would
stop and cry. Woes me! I can't do
anything!
This went on for a long time until
his father. who was very troubled
about him, took him to the priest

A friend of mine is having a hard
time with some land he has just
bought. It's fine looking land-low
rolling hills. good stretch of meadow,
rich loan covering 1t all. Yet for
some reason, things haven't pros
pered.
His young peach trees did well for
the first year or two and then they
sickened and refused to grow. His
vineyard. which promised to be one
of the best in the district. is at a
standstill--not enough new growth in
it to pay for the upkeep. My friend
couldn't find the trouble, SO he hired
an expert to go all over the ranch
and investigate. And the expert dis
covered hardpan.
Far under the top soil. so far that
it was not easily discoverable, there
Is a layer of earth so hardly COM
pacted that it is almost like layer
Of rock. There Is good soil above
and beneath, bat the hardpan acts as
flinty wall between them. The ten
der roots cannot penetrate this,
water cannot seep through 1t. So for
lick of sufficient nourishment and
proper drainage, the trees and vines
sicken and die.
Now that my friend knows what
troubles his soil. he can remove 1t.
Blasting in some places, deep plow-
ing in others, will break up the hard
pan and let life more freely through
the soil again.
We humans are much like that
earth of which we are a part. Her
experiences find their counterpart in
our lives. We, too, have our droughts
and floods, our lean and full years.
We. too, have layers ofs hardpan
within our souls.
The science of psychology is begin
ming to reveal some of the truths
about ourselves. Once upon time
we divided people into good and
bad" classes. Now we are coming
to know that they are only sick or
well. Fear and suffering does to the
human spirit what hardpan does to
the soil. 1t erects a barrier against
the free circulation of life.
This is not a sentimental theory. 1t
is a proven fact. Youthful pain will
leave a scar on the consciousness
which prevents growth as surely as
hardpan prevents the movements of
the life-giving roots. AS the years go
on, layers of experience cover that
spiritual flardpan. The cause is for
