Seward daily gateway., 1926-10-30

So it is plain that the last year III which I served in the Legislature, 1925, the appropriations for schools were so far increased over 1919, the last year in which MT. Sutherland served in the Legislature, that there is no real comparison. Most of this increase in appropriation came from the additional taxes which voted to impose on the fishing industry. Does this prove that betrayed the people of Alaska?
 Annrnnriatinns for the College:
Seward daily gateway., 1926-10-30

in 1919, when he helped to impose a tax of only 5h cents per case on red fish, and thus could appropriate only $423,500 for the schools, nothing for the College, and $4O,60O for the pio- neer's pensions; or Tony Dimond in
 1925 when he had helped to raise the tax of his clients red fish to 10 cents Iper case, plus an additional graduated tax, and thus was able to safely ap- propriate $74O.0O00O for the schools, $163,36O for the college, and $120,6O0 for the relief of aged pioneers. That is the question that the people of this
 Third division must answer by their votes next Tuesday.
 These are facts. And they cannot be truthfully denied. And in view of these facts, was I not justified in
 mon right of fisheries of the people
 of Alaska and the right of the future state or states created out of the Ter
 ritory of Alaska" I thereupon urged the other Senators again to leave out the latter part of the resolution and to contine it to the testing of the vali- dity of the reserves in the courts. The Senate adjourned, and when it recon vened, one of MT. Sutherland's friends informed us that "Dan said the reso- lution must go through as it was writ ten, and that no amendment should be made" Since I wasn't taking or |ders from "Dan" or anyone else,
 voted against the resolution, and voted again to support the Governors
 veto. And yet MT. Sutherland in his speeches at Anchorage and at other places falsely accused me of having opposed a testing of the validity of the fish reserves in the courts. did no such thing, and he knows it. In making this accusation h has sought to besmirch me and to fool the people of Alaska.
 The second charge is equally groundless. This is the charge relat- ing to the tax on fish traps. MT. Sutherland in his speech said: To-day the tax on fish traps is $1O0.O0." The Third Division Republican Club of Anchorage" in it's article in the An chorage Times has told you that the tax on traps is $20O.O0. Neither state ment is correct. The present tax on traps is. s200.O0. per trap, plus $2.OO per thousand on all fish caught in any one trap yearly above 100000.
 MT. Sutherland was, a member of the, Territorial Senate in all of it's ses- sions up to and including 1919. MT. Frame (Arthur, not John), was a member of the House in 1921. The highest tax on traps during MT. Su- therland's terms in the Senate was $1OO.0O per trap, with no surtax. In 1921 the tax on traps was fixed at $2O0.0O per trap, with no surtax. Neither MT. Sutherland nor MT. Frame ever made any attempt to tax traps, or the fish caught in traps, ac- cording to the number of fish caught. They were satisfied with the flat tax. Yet they accuse me of being false to the people of Alaska because I followed the example they set me. In fact, I went further, for during my first term in the Senate surtax of $2.0O per thousand on the catch above 100000 was imposed on fish caught in traps.
 The law firm of which I am mem Der represent, for legal matters only,

(Continued on Page Seven)
Seward daily gateway., 1926-10-30

the fish and mining and other large financial interests, and that is by tax ation. Let us compare the taxes i'm posed, for example, on the fishing in- terests by the Legislatures of which MT. Sutherland was member, and the legislatures of which was a member. We shall begin with 1917, because until then the taxes were far the Legislature could go in mat ters of taxation. MT. Sutherland, as above stated, was member of the senate in 1917 and 1919. In 1917 taxes on the salmon can ming industry were as follows Tax on kings, reds and sockeyes --41A cents per case Tax on med. reds --21a cents per case Tax on all other salmon 2 cents per case IN 1919:
 Tax on traps 10000 Tax on kings, reds
 and sockeyes -5h cents per case Tax on med. reds --31a cents per case Tax on all others 8 cents per case IN 1921:
 Tax on traps .0O Tax on kings, reds
 and sockeyes - cents per case Tax on med. reds -31a cents per case Tax on all others 8 cents per case
 In 1928: (The first year was in the |Legislature)
 Tax on traps, s2OO.0O, plus S2.0O per
 1000 on all fish caught in any trap
 above 100000.
 Tax on kinds, reds
 and sockeyes 10 cents per case Tax on med reds AZ cents per case Tax on all others 8 cents per case
 Also the following graduated addi- tional taxes:
 REDS:
 10000 25,00O cases 5 cents per case 25,000 10000 cases 10 cents per case 10000 50,0OO cases 15 cents per case And on all above 5O,O00 cases, 20
 cents per case.
 MEDIUM REDS, coHoEs, PINks: 25,O00 to 40,00 cases, ? cents per case 10000 to 50,0O0 cases, cents per case And on all above 5O,OO0 cases, 6. cents
 per case.
 In 1925 taxes on fisheries were left the same as in 1923.
 It will thus be seen that in 1923, the first year I appeared in the Legis- lature, that body, with my affirmative voice and vote, raised taxes more than 100 per cent, over the 1919 sche- dule (that being the last year MT. Sutherland was in the Legislature) on the red fish, and the red fish are by far the principal pack of the Alas ka Packers Association. Can anyone who has any regard for the truth say, in view of this fact, that I was in the least subservient to the wishes of the Alaska Packers Association, or any other corporate client. MT. Sutherland says it, and when he says it, he knows that he is not speaking the truth. He maligns fellow AL askan in order that he may be return ed to Congress. A man who speaks falsely of his neighbor is beneath the contempt of all honorable men.
 In the 1923 session, taxes were in- creased greatly, as we have seen, on the salmon packing industry, but very little in any other direction. This in~ crease was necessary, in my opinion, in order to support the schools of AL aska, to support the Alaska Agricul. tural College and School of Mines, and to take care of the aged pioneers. And that is just how the money was spent. Let us look at the appropria- tiops for the period from 1919 to 1925 inclusive for the College, for the schools and for the Pioneers.
 Appropriations for schools: Voar Amount

 and 1925. And yet the Fish trust
 could have been taxed when MT. Su-
 therland was in the legislature in 1917 and 1919 just the same as it was taxed in 1923 and 1925 when was in the Legislature. Most of this increase of taxation came from the fishing in-. dustry, the so-called fish trust. Whom do you think was the better friend of the people of Alaska: MT. Sutherland

For fifty years or more the cities

been furnishing food and grain to the

money is gone never to return.
at is no ver-statement or exagger-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Turning to Foreign Securities.
RY GEORGE r. HUGHEs.

With domestic bonds selling on the
average at the highest level in a
decade, past investors are turning
more and more toward foreign securi-
ties attracted by the higher return OBJ
tainabIe on this form of investment.
This is natural and not undesirable
development. Many authorities be-
lieve that foreign bonds of this class
have BEEN moderated in this market
fora long time. The change of senti-
ment, however, makes timely a few
words Of caution as to the principles
involved
In the first place foreign bonds are
not proper investments for any one
who has not already acquired a pro-
portion of conservative domestic is
sues TO put all ones funds or even
the largest part of them into foreign
investments would be grievous err
ror. The law of diversification would
alone forbid it. There is risk in all
investment, but 1t can be lessened by
spreading it out.
IN the next place diversification
should be extended to the foreign
holdings themselves. That is to say
it would be unwise to put the entire
available amount into the securities
of any one country, or IL only q small
sum is to be used in this way the for
eign obligation bought should be one
of the more conservative. BY this we
mean the obligations of Great Britain,
Switzerland or possibly Holland.
The trouble is that investors who
venture for the first time abroad seek
ing employment for their money do
not turn first to these conservative
foreign bonds, but look for the higher
yielding variety This, as has been
said, is a mistake unless the capital
is sufficient to take one or more bonds

while dIversific viii minimize the
risk, and is perhaps the best safe
guard, additional protection will be
had from using discrimination as to
the foreign issues among which pHr-
chases are to be distributed.
There is every grade Of investment

most conservative type down to ex-
