The Alaska fisherman., 1924-07-15

CnlS COHlmlSSlOu SldlI Uc dppOIuCcu by the governor with the approval of the senate. The terms of the mem bers expired March 30, 1923. The Senate did not adjourn until April 30, 1923; but Governor Bone did not appoint the commission until in May of 1923. Why? Because he knew that the Senate would not con firm these men who are now serving. Why, because these appointments have been made with the sole purpose of pleasing the Cannery and Trap interests.
 How can this Commission bring about "co-ordination" between the Bureau of Fisheries in Washington, and the people of Alaska? One of the first things that the next legisla- ture will do will be to pass law making this Commission elective by the people of Alaska. Will Mr. Hoover then look to it for "co-o ordi- nation?" or will he devise another scheme to please our governor "from New York;"
 "Function under your chairman ship" MT. Hoover says to our gov ernor from New York, "to bring the government of Alaska another step closer to her own people," In the last primary election when the people of Alaska were expressing their preference for Governor, Scott C. Bone got exactly five votes. Those five votes represent the precise re- l;tion of this governor from New York and the people of Alaska.
 Governor Scott c. Bone was sent to Alaska as the man most suitable to advance the schemes of Secretary Albert Fall of Teapot Dome fame. He learned his politics in the days ot Jay Gould, of the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific. He believes that the resources of Alaska, both the timber and the fish, should be given to somebody, no matter to whom, but to somebody so that it could be sold. In the matter of fisheries, he supported the reserves of MT. Hoover. In the matter of timber, he supported MT. Fall in the effort to transfer the Forestry De- partment to the Interior Department.
 Probably two others will be ap- pointed on the Advisory Board," and the "gentleman from New York;" says that the persons will not repre- sent either cannery or the workers interests. As for the cannery and trap interests, they are pleased at this proposal because the commission is already theirs. MT. Heckman is a large canneryman, is the inventor of the deadly floating trap, and accord- ing to Calvin Hazlett, the nice boy that MT. Bone appointed on the com mission to please George Hazlett, dominates the commission.

IS HOOVER SINCERE
Are the New Regulations for the Purpose of Conserving
 Fish or for Conserving the
 Investments of His Friends

Alaska is directly interested in our fisheries. We are today discussing the effect which the new fishery laws will have upon this important industry. Everywhere I go, the question comes, "How do you think the new law will work"
 The bill proposed by MT. Hoover and Henry O'Malley, the fish com missioner, was effectively killed iE both the Senate and the House at Washington. These bills merely pro- posed to legalize the reserves which MT, Hoover had created at the direct request of the San Francisco packers operating in the coveted red salmon district. In this way, MT. Hoover sought to protect himself against the lawsuit which Dan Sutherland had brought to test the right of MT. Hoover to create these reserves and to parcel out all the fishery rights, to deprive the little fellow from his right of fishery, and to give these large areas to the favored few
 The bill then proposed by Con- gressman White sought to give MT. Hoover's department full power to de as he pleased with the fishing rights in Alaska. But in spite of the great power of the fish trust ably assisted by MT. Hoover, Dan Sutherland compelled the adoption of the following clause: "Provided, That every such regulation made by the Secretary of Commerce shall be of general application within the particular area to which it applies, and that no exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted therein, nor shall any citizen of the United States be denied the right to take, prepare, cure, or preserve fish or shellfish in any area of the waters Of Alaska where fishing is per mitted by the Secretary of Com merce."
 This is the clause that caused the fish trust and MT. Hoover to seek to defeat the new White Bill. This is the clause that caused R. E. Rob ertson, attorney for the fish trust in Alaska, to telegraph to different Chambers of Commerce to take ac- ton "to kill the bill"
 And now MT. Hoover wires to Governor Scott c. Bone that he wants to "secure the advice and co-opera- ton" of the various elements of the industry and the public at large in Alaska by Creating a board" which will devise upon methods and griev- ances "and will not only reinforce constructive work but will give full voice of the Alaskan people, and make impossible the deliberate mis- representation which has been cur

NOVcIIlOI DOIC CIdC SUCH d board should embrace the member ship of the Territorial Fish Commis- sion and that such a board should function under your chairman ship in order that we bring the gov ernment of Alaska another step closer to her own people,"
 In addition to this board, Cover nor Bone will appoint two other per sons, and in an interview, he said that the other two will not repre- sent the extreme advocates or critics in Alaska. This means that a couple of bankers or perhaps member from the Chamber of Commerce of Ketchikan or Juneau will be placed on the "board of advisers to bring Washington, D. c. closer to the peO- pie of Alaska.
 The theme of all interviews given by MT. Hoover or Scott c. Bone to the public is this: "to bring the question of Alaskan fisheries direct ly before the people of the Terri tory" The pretense of these men is that the people of Alaska are sup porting their fishery policy. Let us examine it.
 In 1923 MT. Hoover wrote to Gov ernor Bone that he was ready to support any "far" bill which the Alaska legislature might propose. The legislature then adopted unani- mously proposed bill which had been almost entirely drawn by the fish packers themselves in 1919. The only changes which were made were first, the elimination of perpet- ual trap licenses; and second, the identical clause now included in the White Fish Bill, to-wit: prohibiting the granting of exclusive rights Of fishery.
 And yet MT. Hoover, who pre- tends that the present fish bill is exactly" what he has fought for all these years, introduced his own bill, the entire purpose of which was to legalize his unlawful fishery re- serves promulgated by him in the exact language of the Alaska Pack CTS Association n their San Fran cisco meeting. You can answer for yourself whose servant is Herbert Hoover? He enacted into law by his dicta the exact demands of the fish trust; he ignored the pro posed law of the Alaska legislature which is in essence the same thing which was finally passed by Con- gress; ke now says that the White Fish Bill is the precise bill for which he has been working all these years There is hypocracy someplace, MT. Hoover.
 Here is the second test of Mr. Hoover: "The Territorial Fish Con- mission must be part of the ad- Nisnru hoard in nrder that we max,
