BALD HEAD CLUB
 ALSO IS OLDEST
Cummings DelVeS Into History
 to Prove Assertion

Bridgeport Conn.,, May Il Pl- The Bald Head club of America, long proclaimed as one of the jolH- est clubs in the country. is now claiming new honors-that of be- ing the oldest.
 Homer s. Cummings, one of the baldest members of the club. admit ted at the 14th annual convention Of the organization here last night that he had been delving into his tory and that his research work had proven that King Cyrus of the days Of ancient Rome was the first man 10 hit upon the idea of Q bald head club.
 Thus did the toastmaster at the annual banquet steal the thunder of John Rodemeyer, supposedly the founder of the club. who has been proclaiming for years that Falls Vil- lage, Conn, was the home of the unique organization.
 Bootleg hair rostorativcs threaten ed for a time 10 split the GOO bald heads attending the convention. The dispute that developed was referred 10 superior court judge to settle but he refused to have anything to do with it. Postmaster Cummings admitted his inability 10 settle the argument. It finally took q man. tO-man encounter in locked room 70 restore harmony.
 Much Burlcsquing
 The threatened split developed when Mr. Rodemeyer brought lharges against Fred Atwater, for mer mayor of Bridgeport, charging that the ex-eXecutiye had violated all rules and regulations in attempt ing to grow something where there vas none before.
 Atwater did not take kindly at all 10 the attempt to oust him before he had had an opportunity to partake of the banquet and it was then that the affair of honor" was suggested. Accompanied by 9 referee, Atwa- ter and Rodemcycr entered an ad- joining room and the door was lock ed. There was an air of suspense in the convention hall Then inc door was thrown open violently and Bridgeports former mayor. shouting "Victory" burst into the roonl drag ging the referee by tho neck.

OUR PLATFORM

We believe in the Golden Rule as the only safe guide for political action. Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you"
 We believe that the development of Alaska for the benefit of the bona ide residents is the greatest issue before the Territory today.
 We are not opposed to capital as such but we do believe that capital coming into Alaska could make fair profit and still build up this terri tory with real home builders.
 As To HOME RULE
 Peace will not come to Alaska until Alaskans allowed to govern themselves. This of course will come with Statehood But larger degree of self-government is possible even un~ der our present Organic Act and we will enu- merate one two of these.
 A1askans can elect three men, to comprise a Board of Control, who manage strictly ter ritorial affairs These men can be called the Controller, the Secretary, and the Treasurer. All powers and duties which our Legislature has heretofore given to the federal Governor and Secretary should be exercised by our own ELECTED OFFICERS. Among these duties would be the management of the Pioneers Home, and the Pension Fund. The Banking Board, and great many duties which our Legislature has turned over to men Not Responsible To The Citizens of Alaska.
 As To Industries
 While everybody realizes that our fisheries are becoming depleted, the people who 1egis1ate for us in Alaska, and the Bureau of Fisheries have been afraid to put the knife to the real cause of the trouble.
 Every fisherman knows that the FISHTRAP is the DIRECT CAUSE of the depletion of our salmon. Therefore we advocate the aholishment of all fshtraps,
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-04-15

able because this move would release at least five million salmon for spawning purposes, this would be after a greater catch by seiners and gil1-netters. .: ~.,..
 From the standpoint of developing Alaska, such move would mean an increase of at least TEN THOUSAND men in our fishing popula. tion plus their families. These and would spend ALL their earnings IN ALASKA. That is at least THREE MILLION dollars more would be spent in Alaska. The Juneau district would get at least $5ooooo of this; Ketchikan would get ONE MILLION DOL LARS MORE; the balance would go to Wran- gell, Petersburg Sitka, Skagway districts Buc the relief would be instant. Imagine what it will mean when bona fde citizens get this additional THREE MILLION DOLLARS. Ma chine shops, boat shops, ship chandlery mer' chants and every other line of business will get their share of this increase
 This is the policy of British Columbia. The result of their policy is that whereas their pack is only one-third that of ours, they have THREE TIMES as many resident fishermen as do.
 As For Taxation
 Taxes are necessary and cannot be evaded. They should be collected from those who best afford to pay. We opposed to nuisance taxes.
 Therefore we are opposed to the FUR TAX.
 We also opposed to the tax on FOX FARMERS
 We opposed to any increase in the tax on Pink Salmon for the reason that the margin of profit is very small on this species. The cost of packing RED SALMON is exactly the same as PINKS, but the wholesale price on REDS is $500 per while the price for PINKS is only $6.o0. From this you that the Reds can stand tax of $1.0o per easier than the Pinks can stand 1Oc.
 As To Reduction of Taxes
 Taxes cannot be reduced UNLESS or UNTIL we are willing to reduce Appropriations. Commercial clubs or citizens who demand a ducton of taxes Without indicating What ap- propriation should be reduced are either IG- N0pANT o~ nTcI1ONFcT with +l1e,oea1x,ae
