WTCKERs RsHA1I ON TRAP SITES
From The Alaska Fisherman

out the aid Of any law They accomplish this by 8 gentle mems agreement" in which each agrees to respect tie trap loca- tion of the other. Til3 "big fe- lows" are bound to respect thi: agreement because each one !: sitting on "eggs" and darcs not move. The "big fellow keep the little fellow in line by his control of the market. There are a few cannery owners who are free lanceS and who will buy pirate" fish, but even these know that only a small amount of such buying will be tolerated If this practice should become more general, the party would be promptly disciplined. Such 9 thing occurred in the Ketchi- kan district several years ago.
 A second fact regarding fish traps is now generally recogniz- ed, and that is that independ- ent trapmen are disappearing just as William L. Paul predict ed in the legislature for 1927, and the control of all traps is passing to about five companies. This result is inevitable.
 AS a result of this tendency (so long as the trap remains a legal institution) it would seem 1 best for the public interest that fish traps be licensed from year to year and that owners be com pelled to pay the government for the privilege-a privilege given them today. Such a li- cense should, however, reserve in unmistakable terms the full right of the government to Ire gulate, restrict, or to prohibit" the use of traps for fishing sal mon, and also that the right of the Territory to tax the fish or fish caught therein should re- main in full force in effect. It should also be provided that whenever the control of the fish cries shall be turned over to the Territory, that the Territory should succeed to all the powers over her fisheries that are now exercised by the United States.
 We do not follow the Hon. James Wickersham to his legal conclusions altogether, but we recognize that there is danger that what he affirms is already true, namely, that sufficient re- lcognition has already been giv- en by constituted authority to but traps and their locations in the class of property" and hence under the protection of the Constitution. If this is true, then they could not be abolished except after compensation.
 At any rate, it is question 1 that should have serious thot of the people of Alaska, and for this reason we are here print ing a letter to the FISHERMAN and to Delegate Dan Suther- land by the Hon. James Wick ersham-The Editor.
