Alaska's Premier Industry.
(New York Post.)


 Alaska has two outstanding problems. One is an excess of governmental red tape and the other depletion of her greatest natural resource, salmon The President and members of his Cabinet who ac- company him have already outlined several hopeful suggestions for simplifying Alaska's government by bureau. They understand red tape and good should result from their survey of the situation
 The salmon problem is much more difficult and more important because the economic value of salmon Is greater than that of all other Alaskan industries combined.
 About half dozen different met hods of catching salmon account for upward of 90 per cent of the annual yield The testimony of men with years of experience in the business fails agree on the very point or the whole matter: what methods are most harmful and destructive. If the remedy lies in re- slrlctlhg the amount Of the catch and the number or hsheries or fishermen, monopolies result In fact the lew halting and uncertain steps thus far taken nave already led in that direction with consequent outcries of disapprova from those who were re- stricted.
 situation of this sort it occurs to us makes the testimony of dsnterested scientists much more important than the testimony of interested fsher- men whom the President and his party seem to have laken ehlefly into counsel Since the salmon sneak III uhHhstakable language to the chthyologist the ohy possible course 1t would seem, is hear what .he hsh experts have to They probably already hho" whleh method of caching is likely to be uestrucllRe and what should be done about it.

 It is not often that The Empire prefers the reason ing of the New York Herald that of the New York Post. However refrain from asking the Post to read and ponder the editorial in the Herald of July 5. which closes with this paragraph

Would Be Sent 10 Jail.

"A farmer joining with an associa- ton and later failing to market all he produced through it could not only be fined, but sent to jail. There was no limit to the amount of debts which the association might incur, and for the payment of which the marketing members (farmers) might be made liable. On the other hand, there were no obligations imposed on the asso- ciations to account to the marketing members for their just and equitable share of any profits that might be de- rived from the sale of their products. Anyone now in business dealings with farm products could not, under the proposed law, even offer to buy the products of farmer who belonged to an association without being subject to jail"
 Apparently Governor McCray's pro- gram for drafting the model law will not have the support of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, which backed the bill he vetoed. President w H. Settle, of this organization, has announced that he would not confer with the governor to arrange for drafting the new bill. The farmers. according to Mir. Settle, arc 'disgrunt- led' by the veto. He said the bill had the approval of recognized national farm bureau men.

 URGED IN INDIANA
Hopes for Model Marketing Law
 May Come From Farmers

Indianapolis, April 13.-(Associated Press )---Governor Warren T. McCray of Iindana, hopes that out Of this state may come the model cooper ative marketing law for farmers Of the middle west. He vetoed meas ure, known as the cooperative mar keting act, which was passed by the Indiana legislature. recently adjourn cd and now proposes committee to draft model cooperative marketing law.
 Governor McCray owns and farms 5000 acres of Indiana prairie land and in explanation of his veto. de- clared that the bill would hurt those intended to be helped. Half of the provisions of the bill were singled out by the governor as objectionable" 7" and furthermore |. $. Lesh, attorney general of Indiana, declared the bill, as whole, unconstitutional
 Committee Of Farmers.
 The governor proposes a committee of practical farmers, agricultural ex- perts, legislators and authorities on constitutional law to create the model law. He suggests that enough farm CTS be on this committee to give them the deciding voice.
 "The farmers of the middle west. declared the governor, needs law first that is fair to them, and l hope to have such bill ready for the next legislature in time for everyone 10 have an opportunity to study it. and know what 1t contains. so that no one need be captivated by the title as was the case in the one just vetoed"
 "I am farmer and I favor the principle of cooperative marketing, properly safeguarded, but know only too well some Of the past ex- periences of the farmer, such as that with elevators a decade back; with the scoop shovel corn movement that followed, and with some so-called CO., operative marketing agencies that seem to have disappeared after the farmer paid his fee 10 the promoters. As farmer I know that farming has been profitable to some one other than the farmer.
 Would Have Come 20 Years Ago.
 T firmly believe. if the drastic pro- visions of the proposed act had been incorporated into law. that true CO., operative marketing would have been set back at least 20 years. As between those who might control the associa- tions organized under it, and the pro- ducers entering into the marketing contracts with such associations, there was no balance between the powers conferred and the obligations inn posed. Three persons or more, ac- cording to the proposed law. might form an association with or without capital stock; the producers entering the association might be tied to it for ten years, and everything he produced would go to the association for mar keting.
