TROLLERS

One day the latter part of June, the Sawyer-McKay trap brought in over $7OO worth of king salmon, so we are told. Up to the present time, the trollers have said to the seiners, "This trap business is your fight Why don't you be indepen- dent and troll" Some day the trol- lers will wake up and realize that these traps catch thousands of dol lars worth of king salmon that they sell, and also that they destroy hun dreds of thousands of small king salmon that are too small to sell or handle.
 These big traps catch everything that swims. They waste and des- troy thousands of pounds of haliblt, king salmon, and other fish. A cer- tain trap on the west coast last year allowed the fish to pile into the trap until they died and became too decayed to can.
 It is time for the people of this section to wake up to the institu- tions that are depicting our waters, beggering our workingmen and bank rupting our business men-all ex- cept certain few. Instead of de- nouncing these men, your fishermen might try subscribing for THE AL ASKA FISHERMAN. We can edu- cate the people who know nothing about the trap evil and when they learn the facts they will join us and insist that ALL TRAPS BE ABOLISHED. If that were done, the per capita wealth of every one in Ketchikan would be multiplied ten times.

 There is remarkable person in Sitka. In reading over the account of the Fourth of July sports as re- ported in the Sitka Tribune, we find that this remarkable person was very active. We think it unfair, however, to let one person compete in everything from the race for six year-olds to the free-for-all. For example, for while Frank Tilson won the 25yard race for boys under six, Indian won second place. Also Henry Schrey won the 25-yard race for girls under six and again Indian won second place. Then Malachoff won first in the 50-yard race for boys under 10 and again Indian won second. Indian did not run in the girls race. But he or she, wherever it is, got second place in the race for boys under 16. And then Indian got second place in the 1OO-yard dash, freefor-all. In the potatoe race for boys, Indian ran against herself or himself or itself and won both first and second places. Credit to whom credit is due, MT. Sit ka Editor. The Sitka Indian is the foundation of your success and of your advertisers. Fair treatment and an equal chance is all that they have asked, and surely in demo- cracy like ours, you cannot refuse.

FORECAsTING THE FUTURE

II really shouldn't be difficult
to forecast the future considering
the two greatest laws of the uni
verse. The first of these laws
is cause and effect. The second
is the law of repetitions.
Herbert Spencer, English phil
osopher, attracted by the law OF
repetitions. studied it and decided
that historical events and situa-
tions repeat themselves with GER
tain regularity, or cycle, the
same as the four seasons of the
year alternate and daylight and
darkness follow each other
through the ages.
Governments also, as the ages
pass, have changed with certain
fixed cycle tendency Study an
Gent civilizations. A country may
be governed by an aristocracy-a
group of leaders becomes strong
enough to seize all the control
for himself, and the aristocracy
has evolved into monarchy,
Monarchy tends to end in revo-
luton.
The next step in cycle evolution
is anarchy or general lawlessness,
a natural reaction from a condi-
ton of too much law.
Russia has illustrated both Of
these changes.
Out Of anarchy comes order
democracy, usually a republic
with government powers delegat-
ed to elect representatives.
Then the wheel, according to
precedent of pasc civilizations,
begins turning again. Democracy
degenerates into aristocracy grad
ually. as power becomes center
ed in the hands of a few.
The interesting cycle or wheel
of governmental evolution stops
and turns backward while, as
when a weak monarch has to sur
render much to mis- power and
divide it among strong followers,
in effect changing monarchy into
aristoeraey-Tampa Times.

Judge Crisp $ Bill

Representative Charles Crisp
has introduced in Congress an
excellent measure in his bill
which would compel the gov
eminent to reimburse tax pay
ers their reasonable costs in
prosecuting appeals from the ac-
ton of the Internal revenue de-
partment in assessing additional
taxes against them unjustly, when
in the review It is shown that
the original returns were cor
rect.
The action of the Internal
Revenue Department, in many
instances, have assumed rather
high-handed attitude Their
demands often are impossible Of
fulfillment without enormous ex-
pense for accountants.
The unpopularity of the in
come tax, to large extent, is
due, not to the AMOUNT of tax
paid, but by the expense the
taxshas caused to be incurred by
smaller corporations and bust
ness men
By all means the bill should
pass. In fact, it should be a
popular bill in Congress with
both parties and Congressman
Crisp is to be congratulated on
his forethought and care in the
preparation of the bill.

MR.. UpsHAw. OF GEORGIA

Congressman Upshaw, Of Geor-

aridity in high places, has offer
ed to accept the vice-presidentlal
nomination on the democratic
ticket. not to become travel
ing, ranting candidate for this
modest honor but to accept 1t,
if properly rendered. Of course,
the democratic party might take
it's cue from the modest maiden
who gets her first proposal and
exclaim, "this is so sudden" and
frown and be perverse, but the
chances are that if the party
should go out and seek dry tail
to the presidential kite, that
Brother Bryan of Nebraska and
Florida would have first consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Bryan, however, al
ways imposes and insupportabie
load on the party when he be-
comes a part of the moving equip
ment and he might not care to add
a vice-presinetial defeat to his
list of presidential Waterloos.
Still. should the convention at
tempt to make a meaningless
declaration on the prohibition IS
sue, Mr.. Bryan might possibly be
persuaded to take another chance
in the lottery and a second place
ON the ticket. Mr.. Bryan's
'"junx" would be a terrible handl-
cap but it would hardly prove
more fatal than the erratic vo-
ciferator from Georgia, who
wants to amend the Volstead act
so as to give the power to vacate
