BY HARRY r. FLORY
InternatIonaI News Service

PARIS, March 1O.--Weary and
worn by days of tense excitement,
Aristide BRAND summoned his
new cabinet this afternoon for its
first meeting.
The premier, who realizes that
he still faces political storms, adj
vised his colleagues that his policy
will be clear cut and perhaps a
little defiant. He will lay down
the policy which he believes best
for the nation, and if the parlia-
ment sees fit to reject it then
responsibility must rest with men,
bers of the Chamber and Senate,
who are in opposition.
League Crisis Big Problem
BRAND outlined the main points
Of his ministerial declaration, which
is described as "short and precise"
The premier indicated that his
one great present difficulty Is the
League Of Nations crisis, and the
cabinet decided to strengthen it's
representation at Geneva and voted
to send Senator Jules Pans with
BRAND as delegate.
While the opposition was starting
new troubles, and demanding that

ur,iiliu 81 the House Appropris
ations COMMITTEES, the District APP
preparation bin for the fiscal year
beginning July i was reported to
tie House today and came up this
afternoon for general debate on
the floor.
The measure carries q total, IN
GLIDING the water service, Of $33,
762, 987, which is $29O.035 less than
the budget estimates and $2,425.-
AS less than appropriations for
the current fiscal year, including
all supplemental and deficiency
estimates.
The grand total, exclusive Of
supplemental items, however, It Is
claimed, represents the largest
basic appropriation bill ever re-
ported for the District.
Some Big increases
The measure carries a number of
important increases and some new
legislation destined to make itself
felt during the coming year II
adopted by Congress in the form
recommended by the COMMITTEES.
The report, submitted to the
House by Representative Frank
Funk OF Illinois, states that the
bill makes all annual appropriate

Jurisdiction OF the director OF pub

Federal government contributing
81, 100000.
THE contribution is larger actu-
ally than $9,OO0.O00 however" Rep
resentative Funk explained.
This bill, as did it's two prede-
cessors, provides that the District
shall receive entire credit for GER
tain miscellaneous revenues. The
amount of revenue the Government
gave up under this arrangement
during the fiscal year 1926 was
$745, 013.49.
1.-THE auditor has estimated such
REIMBURSEMENT during the ensuing
fiscal year at 81 ,0O0, 900. AS this
arrangement is part of the lump
sum plan, our actual contribution
will be $40, 000.0 900.
"Of the total the bill appropriates,
only SIS. 100000 will be raised by
real estate levies. So as between
the Federal Government and the
real property holder, the Govern
ment is paying in the proportion
of two to three.
School Fund Slashed
Representative Funk explains
that the outstanding reductions
made below cuxaGnt appropriations
are $1,733.0OO for the five-year
school building program and $1,000
900 for the new water supply, ow-
ing to the approaching completion
OF this project.
The committee refused to follow
the Budget Bureau In providing for
purchase of q site for stables, shoTss
and storerooms for the engineer dt-
partment and for bird house at
the Geological Park, this represent
ing most of the reduction below the
budget estimates.
A slight increase in tax rates
may result If supplemental and de-
ficiency appropriations vet to he
made are in proportion to those
made last year, Representative
Funk said.

Much Maligned Bat
Now Loses Rep as
Foe of Mosquitoes

Another black mark has been
chalked up against the much
maligned bat. An investigation
by the Department of Agriculture
has about exploded the popular
theory that the bat is an invet-
crate eXterminator of mosquitoes
in fact. the department says, it is
doubtful if the bat ever heard of
mosquitoes, and. even if it had,
it is highly improbable that it
would ever have either the desire
or ability to consume them.
Some cities in the South have
gone so far as to build and fur
nish special ''bat-belfries" as an
inducement for them to settle
down and enter the mosquito eX-
termination industry, but the free
apartments persistently remain
vacant and no sign of a boom in
the business has appeared.

DOES THE POLICY OF THE SEWARD GATEWAY SHOW 4 SHIFT FROM SUFFER-
 LAND TO MARQUAM?

This is the conclusion of the Ketchikan Chronicle on August 10th. The editorial follows; Seward Gateway for Marquan
 Recent issues of the Seward Gateway show that that news paper is out and out in favor of the candidacy of Thomas A. Marquam, for delegate to con- gress. It shows a shift in the wind inasmuch as the Gateway has in each campaign support ed Dan Sutherland. Like so many other citizens of Alaska, the Gateway courageously says it has come to believe that Sutherland has outlived his usefulness in Washington.
 There is no doubt that Suth- erland and his cohorts will now declare that "the canneries have bought the Gateway" As long as that newspaper re- mained a Sutherland booster it was a patriotic sheet. Now that it has changed its view it will be villifed. But it mat ters not, the Gateway will be serving its district long after Sutherland is forgotten.
 THE TRUTH
 The truth is known to the Chronicle; towit, that the editor who for so long support ed Sutherland sold out to couple of young fellows. The young men are establishing policy of their own. There might have been some signi- hcance in the change if it had been under the old manage ment. Otherwise there is none.

'''D0LLAR FISH"

Abolish the traps and then it will be one fish, one dollar" Soz states the Juneau Empire is the plan of those who are fighting the fish traps, and an end to which the Empire is opposed.
 Of course, the statement is one which originated with "Johny Walker" Troy. But suppose that were the ambition of those fighting the fish traps, would that be bad in itself? Would not every fishermen be glad to get "One dollar, one fsh?"
 The Statement Is Untrue
 The statement is untrue, and if it were true, we would have to say that such an ambition is foolish. The position of those opposed to fish traps is simply this; with the intro duction of fish traps, the sal mon began to disappear from the salmon streams of Alaska. To save the industry itself, the fshtrap must be abolished. There is no deception about "One fish, one dollar" The fishermen of Alaska are simply fighting for their existence.
 What Would the Effect Be
 What would the effect be if traps were abolished thru taxa tion by the next legislation?
 First, it would mean an ad- ditional escapement of ten million salmon. This would take away tn only excuse the Bureau of Fisheries has for the abominable and insane sys- tenn of closing the fishing sea- son just when the resident fish, ermen are beginning to make their winters stake.
 Secondly, it would mean an immediate increase in our fish ing population. The increase would be about 300 per cent. This could be made permanent in kind by simply taxing the foreign fishermen so heavily that they would either stay away and give our own res ident fishermen a chance, or else they would make their homes here in Alaska, carry
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-08-15
Plan Is Practical

has for precedent the laws of Oregon, Washington and California, states in which we are not allowed to fish until we have first lived there for TWELVE months. Alaska can not be condemned by the cap ital of those states for doing exactly what those states them selves have done.
 Effect on Certain Towns
 The abolishment of fish traps would increase the earning of the people who trade in and out of Juneau by at least $5OO,- 900. Would the Juneau mer- chants who so strongly oppose Paul and Sutherland object to that?
 Effect On Ketchikan
 The increase of earnings in the Ketchikan district would be at least $1,5OO,OOO. The pop ulation would increase to about 15,OOO people. Some people estimate the increase as more. These figures are conservative Canada WITHOUT TRAPS has over 1000 resident fisher men altho packing only 1,5OO,- 900 cases of salmon. Alaska, packing over 5,OOO,OOO cases has only 6,OO0 resident fisher men. If we used the Canadian system, we should have at least 15,OOO more resident fishermen in Alaska. If each fishermen had an average family, this would mean at least 45,OOO people. And Ketchikan and other towns would get their share.
 As To Price
 There would be an increase in the price of fish, perhaps not to a dollar however. Is this to be opposed? Why should our fishermen in Alaska not get an increased price?
 Plnks now sell in Alaska for 8f and cannerymen declare that they "cannot afford to pay more" But some of these same companies are paying 3Of for pinks on Puget Sound.
