Tuesday night asking for approval,
only the most persistent optimist
hopes for action at the short session.
Even the President, it is observed,
did not press for an early vote, con-
tenting himself with a request that
it be taken up after emergency re-
lief measures and appropriation
bills are out of the way. And those
senators are few and far between
who believe that can be done much
before March 3 when the present
session of congress automatically
stands adjourned.

THAT six judges have allowed

not exculpate the Governor Of Cali

E. N. Dinner says that the sample shipment of fourteen cases of canned clans shipped to Seattle from his plant here given a very gratifying recep- tion, buyers finding the quality of the Petersburg product quite satisfactory. MT. Dinner says the plant can handle about a hun Gred cases per day but only strictly first class, white meated clans will be received. Parties wishing to dig clans should bring in a sample sack from the beds for approval before spend ing too much effort as the clans in some localities may not be acceptable. Present market con ditions are not of the best but if the plant can be kept going it will mean something in the way of a payroll here this winter.

 Long Distance Government


 Long Distance Government
 T know the evils of long-dis- ts.nce government" you say. "But here is a department of the Gov elnment which I claim is effi- cient, which I claim is protect ing the property of Alaska as we'll as the property of the peo- pie of the United States"
 MT. McKeown, Bureaus are all the same, and long distance government is exactly the same. You should be ashamed to defend such a Bureau since you claim personal knowledge of what bureaucratic govern ment means.
 H. R. 1894, Hearing Jan. IT, 1922
 You should read this hearing in which the witnesses were Bishop Rowe the Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, William l.. Paul, and Charles Ferguson, for you need the kind of informa- tion that is contained therein.
 You referred to the Yakutat situation as being satisfactory. That is true to a large degree. Whatever abuse that exists there is due largely to Libby, McNeil & Libby who use this unfair practice-it puts it's hired men on the ground while the rivers are still frozen and these men hold the best places for their set-nets by putting their nets in place on the ice. In this way, the natives are forced to take inferior places simply because they cannot afford to sit and watch their places in competi- tion with the hired men of this great Chicago corporation. What We are trying to do is to get Henry O'Malley to give the rest of us the same favorable consideration which NATURE las forced him to give the Yaku- tat fishermen. These men earn ed according to the figures giv- en you by the Bureau of Fisher ies almost $1 ,000 each. We could get along on that, but certainly not on the meager earnings now possible under MT. O'Malley'S rules. I know the natives side of that story too, MT. McKeown, and there is no credit due MT. O'Malley for he has and is mak- ing it just as hard for the na- tives there as he can. For ex- ample, he has closed Dry Bay to commercial fishing this year tC May 18th and prevents our fishermen from catching the king salmon till they get into tlce river. Of course this would meet with your approval. But after that date, the district is tpen and the Chicago company las special hydroplane boats that go up the river and catch the very same fish before they get into the lake so that the ef- feet of MT. O'Malley's regulation in the interest of conservation" is that the Natives and others ale prOh1blted from catching salmon which are later caught Ky the great corporation of Chi cago.
 Who Wrote the Letter
 On page 2498 of the Congress sional Record you quote a letter which in turn quotes from the report of the Hon. s. l. Howe, Provincial Secretary of British Columbia. I merely ask who wrote for this reason-he as- sumes that the fishermen would object if the B. c. regulations as applied to seines were also the law of Alaska. I would say this the Natives of Alaska for r

 show that in 1924 (the birth of the White Fish Bill) the catch by
 gear was as follows: seines, 38
 per cent; traps, 57 per cent; then in 1928 after four years of
 plenary power by Henry O'Mal- Hey, the god of Alaska fisheries,
 the catch was as follows: seines,
 25 per cent; traps, n per cent. The Hook off Change
 You remarked that the rule against the hook-off was omit ted this year; but why? When
 MT. O'Malley was here on July 3rd last he told our secretary that "if you (meaning the mass meeting of the local fishermen who were meeting within three hours) want me to change the hook-Off rule, it is no use be- cause I don't intend to change | it." What happened then to to make him omit it? If it was right then, it is right now. He changed it because of my ap- 
 peals for help to the Vice Presi- dent of the United States who quickly saw the injustice of the rule, and who promptly laid the matter before the Hon. Robert F. Lamont, Secretary of Com merce, in whose name Henry O'Malley runs our fisheries. Other Matters
 There are other matters con- corning which MT. O'Malley is totally wrong. I am now talking to you as an expert for there is no man in or out of Alaska who knows more about the trouble with Alaska fisheries" than I do. In all my talks with cannerymen, none have dis agreed with me after a full dis cussion. The opposition comes from those who do not know either me or my plans or the facts.
 In 1923, before the Alaska legislature when the Seasonal Closed Scheme for Conserving Salmon" was first made, I warn ed the legislature that the plan was wrong and would result in the destruction of all our early varieties of salmon, and that Eff you breed late fish, you will get late fish" Later on, the great authority of fisheries, pr. Charles Gilbert made the same observa- tion in an interview for the Pa cif1c Fisherman. Today there is no divergence of opinion among the fishermen and cannerymen Where in former time, NC humpies were in our bays in
 October, last year thousands of
 bright humpback salmon were ;n the bays on the West Coast ot
 Prince of Wales Island. Where in
 former times, we caught salmon for commercial use in large quantities in June Sometimes
 100000 in one hauD today every group of fishermen recognizes
 the fact that the season in the | southern Q1SCrlct or southeastern
 Alaska should be closed to com
 mercial fishing till August 1st
 What does Henry O'Malley say?
 He really won't find out till too
 late. That has been the re-
 cord. .. Do not think for one moment
 that speak only at the behest
 of Indians and other fishermen
 Numbers of cannerymen, includ-
 ing some rather large corpora
 tions, continually encourage me
 When I have solicited their open
 upport, they decline because of l their fear of reprisals.
 In closing let me remind you
 that nobody has a better right

Respect Due the Flag

The flag should be raised at sun rise and lowered at sunset It should not be displayed on stormy days or left out over night. except during war. Although there is no authorita- tive ruling which eompels civilians to lower the flag at sundown. good taste should impei them Co follow the tra. ditions of the army and navy in this sundown ceremonial Primarily. the flag IS raised Co be seen and second arily the flag is something to be guard ed, treasured. and so tradition holds 1t shall not be menaced by the dark ness. To leave the flag out at night unattended, is proof of shiftlessness. or at least earelessness. At retreat. sunset, civilian spectators should stand at attention.
 An old. torn or soi'ed flag should not be thrown away, but should be destroyed, preferably by burning.
 The law specifically forbids the use of and the representation of the flag m any manner or in any connection with merchandise for sale. When the Star Spangled Banner" is played or sung. stand and remain standing in silence until it is finished
 The flag should never on any occa- ton be allowed to touch the ground.
