constituted patriots should not work
Mr.. Borah was not Of the opinion
that If MIR. Shearer's alleged activities
had become known. the cruiser bill
would have been defeated in the last
Congress.
Congress was for the cruiser BILL Is
he said.
ITO my mind" he continued. "Mr.
Shearers object in being at Geneva was
to try to break down the conference.
For what other purpose would he be
there? I do not think he would deny
that. His attorney said as much this
morning"
Senatorial exposure of anti-reduction
propaganda would, in Mr.. Borah's
opinion. be likely to result in a demand
for building naval vessels in Govern
ment yards, instead of In private plants,
where many are now constructed.
eff Shearer went to Geneva to OPP
pose disarmament, he was well within
his rights" Mr.. Borah commented. But
IL great corporations, desiring contracts.
privately hire some one to spread
propaganda, that Is q different propo-
sition. When the Government. as a
government, is dealing with foreign
governments and seeking to arrive at
an agreement. those opposing the pol
icy should do 1t in the open.
Exercise Powerful Influence.
ct have felt for a long time that
the shipbuilding companies exercise a
powerful influence, here and abroad
The reason why these conferences fail
Is the constant, surging attack from
corporate interests which have a selfish
purpose to attain"
The outcome Of the investigation
might have an important bearing on
future naval arms conferences, 1t was
ventured, and would probably result in
proposed legislation to restrict contracts
for war ships to Government shipyards.
Legislation would be required to bring
i. that about.
While it was not known exactly what
the President had in mind when he
said measures to rid the country of
such influences would have to be con-
sidered unless the shipbuilding corpora
tons named by Shearer could disprove
his story, the opinion prevailed that the
President had some such legislation in
mind. i.
Mr.. Hoover was unofacially advised
| yesterday that none Of the three COM
| panieS named have had anything to dc
with Shcarer in more than a year, at
least So far as known, neither the
White House nor Department of Jus
tice had received any response, how
ever, to the Presidents call on the di-
rectorS OF all three companies to an

TO HIM THAT HATH

The Salmon Trust with their traps are demonstrating that a salmon pack can be put up with out the use of seines. The Trust has plenty of financial backing When they haven't, they go out and sell stock and issue bonds to cover their needs.
 Their trap system is putting up their packs this year. The resident fisherman is doing nothing but run around burning gasoline and running accounts with resident business houses.
 If there earnings continue the remaining few days of fishnig as to date, who is going to pay the bill-the : fisherman who has nothing or: the business man who, to continue. in business MUST pay his bills to wholesal- ers.? =. %

PRINTS ALL THE NEWS J

Says Eddie Morrissey of Ket- chikan on his masthead i've print all the news worth print ing all the time.p
 Many things worth printing and should be printed, are never even mentioned by our contem- porary. And not the least of it is the charge of exploiting of the ketchikan citizens by the Fo- shay Company. Eddie lacks the gutS to tell the truth about what he knows to be a monopolistic advantage for the purpose of paying big dividends by gouging the public.
 A lot of stuff Eddie and John ny and Jacky and others of that tribe of political abortions should print they leave unsaid But they sure lay on the molass- es when it comes to exploiting the man who is digging his home out of the woods and hills of Alaska.

NORMAL PACKS"

When reference is made to the salmon pack for 1929, it is al- ways. said that there will be a normal pack" and that the fish are showing a normal run"
 The salmon runs are abnorm- al. Except in isolated instances the run of salmon to the parent stream is a failure. There is no qualification in this statement. The entire coast shows deple- tion that no amount of figures or bureau officials can dispute.
 Salmon streams that WERE good spawning grounds now are absolutely barron of fish of any kind save the almos useless dolly warden trout.

DELIBERATE PREVARICATION

A recent article in the Empire of Juneau stated that owing to continued storms and seining operations the traps were not getting as many salmon, the early part of the season.
 The actual fact was that the storms did not interfere much with trap operations; the sein- CTS did not get any fish for only Q few had gotten out on the grounds.
 The early run of salmon did not materialize. A depleted sal mon run cannot appear in the fishing areas. But the Empire, the mouthpiece of the Salmon Trust must give the tools-Bu- reau of Fisheries-an excuse for the failure of salmon to appear.

THERE ARE ASSES AND ASSES

When prices are low in the halibut industry there are asse, who go out on trips even though they know they will go in tho hole for the trip; even though market conditions and stock ir storage would justify staying al home.
 There are asses in the trolling game who cut their ow nthroats by going out for salmon wher prices offered will not pay ex- penses. But knowing the prices are not right, they go just the same.
 There are asses in the seininq game who cut their own throats that they cannot earn a decent living wage, let alone 'cultura7 wage They go knowing they only go out to get into debt.
 There are asses, sitting by mouthing no protest when al these things are taking place
 There are asses and asses. Ii is time that they learned some thing.

ESCAPEMENT AT AVIAN

With much feeling of pride the agents of the bureau of fisheries point to an escapement of 120, 1000 salmon at the famous Anan Ehumpback stream.
 Of all the blatherskite, mis- leading half truths, this is the limit.
 Only a few years ago it was when the Alaska Packers Asso- citation cannery at Wrangell av- eraged 10000 cases FROM THIS ONE STREAM ALONE. The year of the wrecking of the Star of Bengal, that cannery packed 1000 cases from that one creek alone; the F. c. Barnes cannery lat Lake Bay put up close to 2O,- 900 cases from that stream; the Northwestern Fisheries can- nery at Santa Ana put up close
 to 30,000 cases; the Burnett can- nery put up about 10000 cases; a steam tug was taking two scoWloads of salmon to the A. P. A. cannery at Loring; the North western Fisheries at Kasaan had several boats all fishing in the same spawning area. And more salmon escaped up to the spawn ing grounds that year than the same stream has seen in the |past seven years
 When MT. OMalley's hench-
 men talk of escapement to Anan Creek being normal, they are
 either crazy, they are lying or
 they are a !: bunch of ignorant fools. =. '';

 Then the Prophet addressed the asses-"Let us test your wis dom," said he. Answer me this question: What should an ass require for a three days jour- ney?"
 And they counseled among themselves and then made re- ply: For a three days journey Oh Prophet, any ass should re- Quire three bags of dates and six bundles of hay"

From The Pacific Fisherman

AOAAA AAC 4 NCAx1C
 We get keen pleasure from a fable sent out in a circular by Wiley Ambrose, the San Diego tuna packer. It seems to apply pretty we'll to the fish canning industry and the fish business in general, but perhaps with special force to the situation in California. Here it is:
 The Wisdom of the Sheik's Asses
 At the beginning of things, when the world was young, the donkey was esteemed by all the tribes of man as the wisest of animals. The good sheik FL Pistonah owned a great herd of these sagacious beasts which was the pride and joy of his heart.
 Other sheiks from miles around came to listen and marvel at the wisdom of the herd. At such 2 time came even the Prophet himself-most learned and wise of all the sons of the East. With much glowing of pride. El-Pis-

md who are incapable of being assimilated. This great army of riff-raff, cheap labor is sucking the life-blood from true Alas kans. These cheap birds are an- xious and willing to work any and all hours for wages and un- der conditions that an Ameri- can worker could not survive and keep up an American standard of living. It is seriously under mining our very Alaskan-Am- arican existence.
 These invaders, chiefly males, are also responsible for the ere ation of a moral situation that cannot be tolerated.
 Confronted with such prob lem of a wholesale invasion of Alaska, We as Alaskans, must demand the same exclusion rom our land of the Filipinos as we have against other Orientals.
 Freedom for the Filipinos, cer- tainly, but We also demand free }om for the Alaskans from this invading, menacing army that threatens the very foundations our standard of living.

 Shumagin Island, July g, 1923
 The restrictive fish regulations 4re getting worse and worse. The our days a week closed period works only to the injury of the ,mall fry. The canneries will lave a full pack at the end ot .he season as usual. They are LOW running overtime every day n the week with traps full at Ill times. The fish Wardens are , human lot but they are work Ing for a small salary, not enough to keep them in decent clothing and board for the bal Ance of the year. They are din- ed and Wined by the canneries ind get no favors from us poor 5ourdoughs, so what can you expect? One fish warden can- not travel over his district often enough to do any good as far as keeping tabs on the traps is con- cerned. The fact is that the four days closed times is only in- tended as a check on us poor devils. The Bureau of Fisheries nas made criminals of every sal mon fisherman in Alaska. To be forced to act and feel like a criminal for every fish you take, and at the same time see mil ilonaire concerns with head quarters located thousands of miles outside the Territory get a free hand to take fish by the millions while we poor devils are compelled to stay home four days a week, the best time of the year and worry on how we can manage to get pork and beans enough to do us through the winter, is a hard lot indeed"

T am: afraid of myself. If I don't quit fishing. I know will be. caught fishing illegally and before I submit to the Bureau highbinders (bureau of fisheries wardens) I will take my gun and shoot them. It is safer for me to quit before I do hurt"
 Not once, but several times this summer has the above statement been made to us.. It comes from resident Alaskans. Not Indians for when the Indian has had enough of the damn nable czaristic autocracy of the O'Malley system, they will shoot first and talk about it after wards.
 The history of every industri- al revolution has been an evo- lution by force of direct action. The citizen-no matter how good when he has had enough of the iron heel of the overlords turn upon them and by the shedding of blood and destruc- tion of property, call a halt.
 This is not a threat. It is a statement of the actual senti- ment to which the Bureau of Fisheries is driving the resi- dents.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Often Means
You Have Not Been Drink
ing Enough Water.

When you wake up with back
ache and duh misery in the kid
ney region it may mean you have
been eating foods which create
acids, says a well-known authority.
An excess of such acids overworkS
the kidneys in their effort to filter
it from the blood and they become
sort of paralyzed and loggy. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog
you must relieve them, like you re-
ieve your bowels, removing all the
body'S urinous waste, else you have
oackache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; YOU. stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad va have rheumatic twinges.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
my then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to help
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
system, so they no longer irritate.
thus often relieving bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink. Drink
lots of good Observation-Disclosures.
