ing Measures Disastrous.

J. C. Barber, prominent Ketchik2n
business man, speaking al the Char-
Der of Commerce luncheon at the
Arcade Cafe today, declared that 4
the fisheries taxation measures that
are pending in the Legislature We've
passed they would practically abolish
the fish traps and yitally affect the
cannery business. This, he said, would
have effect throughout Alaska as 1t
whole. and would be specially disast-
rous to Ketchikan. where the peopl"
"rcly upon the fishing industry loi
their bread and butter.
The Chamber of Commerce voted
TO support the Grier Publicity Bill

Der decided to have representatives

that is scheduled for next Wednes

from Col. James G. Steese, President
of the Alaska Road Commission, re

disastrous to the fisheries industry

industry is still in the infant clas
and should be fostered rather thai
taxed.

The bill to pay jurors and
witnesses five dollars for each
day they are in attendance at
all court sessions, an addition to
the mileage, is only fair recon-
pense for the service given. It
is a sacrifice to give the time by
most men and women, who serve
as jurors OF witnesses in courts,
and the five dollars per day is
certainly modest repayment Of
travel and hotel bills; no man
Oh woman with ability sufficient
to serve in either capacity, will
seek that kind of service even
for the five dollar pay attached.
