DISCRIMINATION


vited to the following excerpt from
the United States Bureau of Fish
cries report for 1924:
''Fishing operations within the
Annette Island Reserve were again
conducted by the Annette Island
Packing Company, under it's lease
from the Department Of the Interior.
Data regarding the operations have
been furnished by the Bureau of
Education Of that department, which
administers the affairs of the re-
serve for the benefit of the Metla-
katla Indians residing there.
''In 1924 the total number of
fish taken by traps within the re-
serve was 827,949 Of all species,
on which royalties amounting to
s9,O8612 were paid. The per
case tax on canned salmon under
the Territorial law, which has been
held payable to the Metlakatla In
dams, amounted to $2,415.49; trap
fees on six traps, at 5000 each,
amounted to $1,000: and rental of
cannery building was $4,000"
Do the Metlakatla Indians have
more business acumen than the
general run Of electors; did the
Smiley Company which operated
this cannery declare that they were
paying too much when they paid
royalties of over nine thousand
dcllers over the tax required by
law? The fish caught on the An
Eette Island is the same run of
fish that is packed by the various
Ketchikan canneries which do not
pay any royalty to the Territory
for the fish which come from their
traps.
Such a per salmon tax would
permit Of much more extensive
territorial aid for the college and
school system throughout the ter
ritory. II you believe this system
to be fair one write your repre-
sentatives in the Legislature.-The

PAPEETE. Tahiti, September g.
This island of the South Seas has
become one Of the centers of the
bootlegging industry operating from
Canada to the West Coast of the
United States.
The method is to land a liquor cargo
at, Papeete from the vessel transport.
ing 1t from Canadian ports, and then
charter another vessel to carry it to
the California Coast.
The roundabout voyage is necessary
In order to satisfy the Canadian law.
The vessel which carries the liquor

usually clears for some port on the
West Coast OF Mexico, but reports
reaching here indicate that many
cargoes have been landed on the Cali
fornia Coast despite patrolling vessels.

Trail of Tin Cans
On Ocean Urged for
Locating Aviators

AS a means of locating future
overocean flyers who may be forced
to descend in the water and whose
whereabouts would be unknown TO
searching parties, a plan calling
for the pilot to leave a long line
of miniature buoys in his wake, has
been hit upon by an aviation en-
thusiast and forwarded to the
National Aeronautic Association.
The association in turn has trans
mitted copies of the suggestion to
the aeronautic branches of the
War, Navy and Commerce Depart
ments for such action as they see
fit to take.
The idea is for a pilot embark.
ing on say a Pacific flight to take
along a couple of hundred small.
sealed tin cans, each bearing a flag,
and toss them out at regular inter.
walls along the line of flight.
Should he be forced down through
engine trouble. and granting that
he carried no radio, boats in tran
sit along the steamer routes could
be on a lookout for the wake" of
the plane. Although the chances
of locating such tiny objects on the
surface are small, nevertheless the
originator of the scheme regards
them as better than nothing.
