Hickman or Paul"

The Ketchikan Chronicle had an editorial en- titled as above just before the last election. In that editorial, it stated the help Mr. J. R. Heckman had given to Individual Indians and Whites, and asked where William l.. Paul was at that time.
 We will tell you, gentle reader William l.. Paul was fishing for humpes and selling them to Heckman's company at the rate of three fourths of one cent a piece. Heckman as boss of the Alaska Packers was paying that price for humpies, and two cents for dog salmon and seven cents for reds. When the Indians would ask Hickman for better price, for one cent for humps and 2 12c for dog salmon Heck man would say, II wish 1 could, my friends, Che was always strong on that friend stuff) but if we paid you that price we would go broke."
 In that way, Heckman, who came to Alaska as a blacksmith finally became the owner of big department store, a big bank, fair sized cannery, traps galore automobiles, houses, lands, bonds, mortgages and what-not Needless to say, William L. Paul did not buy many houses or start any bank or big stores from the money he made selling humpies to IIeckman's employer at 3-4 of cent each
 MT. Heckman has made himself rich and has made very few of his own friends rich, but how about the many in this community?
 Was he not one of those that blacklisted the fisherman last year?

The Cost of Fish Per Case

The published staement signed '"The Canning Industry of Alaska" published January 10th, says that the cost of raw fish per case equals 27 per cent. The packers do not say whether this 27 per cent is of the selling price or the cost price, and no figures are given, except later in the statement the packers say that they take out of Alaska $1.45 worth of fish in each case of salmon packed. Using this figure for basis, the cost of a case of salmon must be $54O.
 However, the wholesale selling price of pink salmon is $40 per case and so we must con- cude that the packers in the pink salmon dis trict figure on losing $3,OOO,OOO every year they do business in Alaska.
 The selling price of red salmon is $9 per case so we must conclude that the profit on red salmon is $3.6O per case
 The truth of the matter is that the packers are not paying $54O cost per case, for many admit that their profit is at least soc per case, so that the cost could not exceed $3 90 per case As matter of fact the cost is approximately $3.5O per case in the pink salmon district This is also true in the red salmon district

The 1924 Legislature

What are the most important laws that should engage the attention of the coming legislature? First the attainment of liberty. Liberty is the one thing that brave men of all ages have died for. Slavery is most disgraceful con- diton.
 We are today slaves of the Federal Brigade To be free, we must pass self-controller bill creating an elective Board of Three Men who will govern us. Let the Gentleman from New York be the Federal Governor. But let us gov eIn ourselves.
 Will the cost be too great? What price would slave pay for liberty?
 THE SECOND EMBELLISHMENTS
 The second important law is the aboshment of the fish trap We put this second because this is not possible without the first
 This law is important because the fish trap spells economic slavery of the fishermen of Alaska; 1t spells the sure destruction of our fisheries. The true fishery problem is Con- servation of our fish AND conservation of our resident population" Any measure that deals with only one part of the problem is wrong
 Here would come the tax on foreign fisher men, which would make it profitable for all such to become resident Alaskans
 THE THIRD LAW
 The third law is the passage of the model
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-01-15

workmen's compensation law, approved by the American Federation for Labor Legislation; and which is almost identical with the United States Act under which the Alaska Railroad was built; also the Panama Canal and adopted by many States.
 The principal is that all employers shall pay a premium based on each industry to the Ter. ritOry to make adjustments with the benefic- iaries. The present unfair law must be re- peaed.
 THE FOURTH LAW
 Equality of taxation. The truck driver now pays his license, unless he is a saWmill owner running some other large business. Either tax all or none. The mine pays nothing to run in this Territory unless it makes net profit and then it only pays about $15OOO on the first million of net profit.
 A trap that catches 5OO,OOO salmon pays tax of $2OO.OO, exactly the same as a trap that catches one thousand.
 The cost of packing pinks in Southeastern Alaska and reds in Western Alaska is about the same with the red pack little cheaper. But plnks sell for $40 and reds for $9.OO. The profit a of pinks is about soc a case while reds it is over $3.00 And yet the pink pays a basis case tax of SC and the red only pays 1Oc. The red salmon should pay at least soc.
 If the canners think this too high, let them submit their cost sheets or income tax reports.
 THE FIFTH LAW AND OTHERS

Commander Seton had done well for

flying man. and In the latter branch
had handled both aeroplanes and
dirieibles. Towards the end Of the
war, he had gone back to sailoring,
and had finally retired with the rank
of commander. He then took UP buSi-

COPELAND REPEATS
PLEA FOR LEADER
Senator Wants New York
Democrats to Choose Up
state Man for Post.

Senator Royal S. Copeland of New
York. Democrat who not long ago
challenged the leadership of Gov.
Smith in the democracy of New York,
repeats his demand for the selection of
q Democratic State leader in a signed
editorial appearing in his newspaper,
the Nyack Daily News.
The selection of an upstate Dem
ocrat as leader and the wipinG out
Of all factions in the party are among
the suggestions made by Senator
Copeland. He gives it as his opinion
that the State and county committee
men should give early consideration
to the selection of party leader.
Text of Editorial.
In his editorial Senator Copeland said:
1t is the desire of every Demo-
crat to have his party restored to
normal condition and made fighting
unit.
1T SHOULD b. the desire of every
good citizen to have an active, ag-
grcssive and responsible minority
party. 1t stimulates It's rival to bet
ter deeds and makes for good gov
ernment.
Everybody. then, has a psrsonel
Interest in the immeC late rehabili-
tation OF the Democratic party. The
problem is how to accomplish this
desirable thing.
"As we see it. there are three
outstanding demands made just now
upon all Democrats IN order OF their
inheritance they are as follows:
''First SeCtiuualt-n must be elm
mated
BY this we mean. speaking ma
tionally, that the vario"s branches
and divisions OF the party must be
amalgamated. The lenders in the
Congress must wipe out the tendency
TO form southern, Western and East
Crn groups or urban and rural
groups BY rrequent conferences and
the frankest ina ginable discussions
of national problems there must be
attempted the formulation Of poll
cics which may be considered the
policies of the Democratic party.
Part! at Protest.
These things are not being done.
There are no present symptoms IN
dicatinG a movement in this dircc-
ton. Because of this neglect our
party has become little more than
party of protest and obstruction.
This won't do. We should stand for
definite and positive things.
In the Empire State we must bear
In mind always that there is an up
state as we'll as a metropolitan dis
trict. rural New York as well as
q great city. We must stand for poll
icics which have in them the hope
OF lettering the welfare OF all sec
tions.
Second. Reprisals for past per-
formances or failures must be put
out of mind.
In our party-in all parties, in
declare men ad women who have
been dissat tsiied with party activi-
ties at times and in consequence they
may perhaps have wandered from the
fold. Why abuse them for doing
what their self-respect dictated?
Third. Racial and religious dis
tinctions must be forgotten and po-
