passed to apply on nonresident trollers. No one can justify this law when not applied generally. It is a start and must be made general. What is good and right and proper for central of the troller-non-resident,-is proper for the nonresident seiner.
 Nor do we ever hear anything from Grigsby, ziegler or any of their cohorts about effort to repeal the Jones Marine Act wherein it specifically discrimi- mates against shipment of goods into Alaska via Canadian ports on Canadian bottoms.
 Under the present law, Sec tion 27 of the Jones Act, goods may be billed from eastern or midWestern ports over Canadian lines down to Canadian ports on the Pacific Coast and transport ed in Canadian bottoms from those ports to American port Section 27 provides that those same goods may not be Shippetl to Alaska in Canadian bottoms It is right to ship via Canadian bottoms to Seattle and Amerla1 ports south but all wrong to ship those same goods north into Alaska on the same lines.
 This is and has been opposed by the Republican nominees but never a whisper do we get from the Troy-Pegues crowd that any effort will be made by theil crowd to remedy these condi-

ALBERT DUNDAs

Last week died in Ketchikan,
 Albert Dundas. Born at Metla-
 katla about forty years ago, he received his education at Sitka in the Presbyterian mission school; later he entered the
 Carlisle Indian School, Carlisle, Penn, under the direction of that great educator, General R.
 H. Pratt. From his short contact with General Pratt he received liberal ideas as to the education, progress and assimilation Of the
 Indian races which made it easy for him to join with the Alaska Native Brotherhood in it's effort 1 to raise the moral, physical, in
 dustrial and political standards iof the Indian peoples of the Territory.
 Last year he attended the con- IVention of the Brotherhood at
 Haines and it was upon his in vitatiOn that the Brotherhood accepted Ketchikan as the next convention city. The delegates aW 5he need of the convention at Ketchikan as pictured by Albert. As he entered more into the spirit of the Brotherhood work he felt more the impor- tance of that work and regret ted that he had not joined soon CT. However, his spirit lives On in KetclliF m and from which spirit will grew an enthusiasm for the work as he had wished and hop led for while he yet lived.
 Passeth out of the work of the
 Brotherhood another able man and leader. The loss to his fami-
 ly, relatives and friends in Ket-
 chikan is also the loss of the Brotherhood.

ROBERT SHELDON
 OF FAIRBANKS

In the debate in the legisla- ture of 1925 on fisheries, MT Sheldon, the Representative from the Fourth Division, made q speech, a part of which was substantially as follows: When the snow ceases to fall upon the mountain tops and when the snow ceases to melt under the warming rays of the sun in the Panama Valley, then the fish will cease to swim in the Pacific Ocean bordering the shores of Alaska"
 This so called brainy legislator speaks in other matters of legis- lation with the cockyness with which he approached the fish er,es question. Not even O'Mal- ley himself dare say that the
 fish of Alaska are not being for the only change that we have noted in the fish cry policy is that O'N1alley has made it harder for the fisher men to get any fish at all.
 The Alaskan challenges MT. O'Malley or any other person to show wherein the fishermen, re- sident fishermen and small in lividual fishermen have benefit ted by O'Malley policy. We fur 5her challenge anyone to prove that the present system is not a part of the scheme laid down by the packers to eliminate fisher men out of the game entirely and that O'Malley is not aware of the whole nefariouS scheme.

Independence and the Constitu- tion of the United States.
 It bespeaks the smallness Of the political leadership which stirs up racial angers and ami mosities. It shows the poverty Of political issues of the party which raises such issues.
 Its preachment is but a policy to hold down those who should be aided and guided into highest citizenship. It is but the ini- ouitous idea of tyrants and Tories and it has no place in ethical principles.
 It is un-American and it is conceived only by vengeful spirit which hopes to gain it's political end, for personal aggrandize- ment at any cost.
 We challenge any right think :ng citizen and patriot to show my justification of an issue which stirs only hate, jealousy md animosity; to show that it s of any benefit to mankind or O decent citizenship or leads tc ,igher citizenship.

THE FROG THAT WAS
 BOILED TO DEATH

Tn one of the leading univer-
 sities not long ago, they placed a live bullfrog in a pan of cold
 water. The pan was then placed m a specially arranged heater.
 The temperature was increased gradually so that it took more than one hour for it to reach the
 boiling point. The frog never moved, and was boiled to death without knowing it."
 The above paragraph was taken from The Real American and is here reprinted to illus trate t-le condition on which the resident Alaskan has found him. self. Alaskans are very much like his frog. When you come to consider the fishery situation, We find that by the extention of the trap system we are being slowly boiled to death without knowing it. We wonder at the decrease in population and we wonder at the reason why Dunn's and Bradstreet's shows so many Alaska business con- cerns are really defunct.
 It seems that the ordinary citizen will not wake up until he is boiled to death. And when he does wake up, he will be where he does not have to kick. 1

THE NONRESIDENT
 FISH TAX

Adolph ziegler, Democratic candidate for the Alaska Legis- Iature, is now claiming author ship of the tax on nonresident trollers. ziegler wants all the credit for himself and grants none to any other person.
 Senator Benjamin wrote the bill and sponsored it in the Se- nate. When he was writing up the bill he went among the Iegis- lators to find out just what their sentiment was regarding the tax and found that they did not want to place q larger tax than $50. So he wrote in the bill that amount. He found so much Op- position to a similar tax on nonresident seiners that he wrote to friends that it would not be wise to incorporate that tax He felt that to secure the tax on nonresident tr0llers was a start and did not feel that such 8 start should be -jo0par- dised by forcing the opposition into a unity that would defeat the entire bill.
 The bill went to the House and there Ziegler after seeing how matters stood, as 9 shrewd political move, amended the bill to make it read for $250. instead of $50.
 The credit should go to Se- nator Benjamin who fathered end sponsored the bill Credit goes to ziegler for his amend plent-which he made after he found that the electors favored the bill. But ziegler is not en- titled to any more credit than is his due.

The Frog. that Kicked

Two frogs fell into . pail of milk and despite their efforts were unable to climb out. Rest ing for awhile one said to the other; What's the use of kick ing around and wasting all of our strength. If we keep this up We will just exhaust ourselves and drown. If we just lay still and float in the milk, some one will come along and lift us out"
 The other frog said: You may lie around and wait until someone picks you up and takes you out. As for me I am going to keep on kicking. I might be able to kick my way out" So he kicked and kicked until he had churned the milk into butter Wnlch gave nm SOlld fOOC1ng and he was then able to hop out. The other fellow just went to sleep and when he was picked up he was thrown out onto the pathway and was crushed by some of the cattle going by.
 Which story represents the Indian fishermen who are kick ing against the conditions and the other fishermen who are afraid to kick. There is a way out of the smelly mess but it will come only by kicking.

HENRY O'MALLEY PROMISES TO GIVE CONSIDERATION
 TO SMALL SEWERS

Tt is contemplated to elimi- nate all traps from the heads of bays and close certain other areas. It would appear that the committee has made a great deal of progress by voluntarily re- moving the traps from the up- per ends of bays, but not out of the other ends and the narrow eStuaries and islands at the en- frances of channels, known to be frequented by salmon. I shall accept, in part, what the packers have accomplished and shall all so go a step farther and ELIMT- NATE TRAPS OUT OF ALL BAYS ESTUARIES AND MAR ROW CHANNELS in fact this IS the recommendation which I transmitted to Washington this morning and it is on this basis that the regulations for the coming year will be prepared"

FOR SALE-CHEAP

"For Sale Groom house, Fur mace, cheap"
 So read an advertisement in an Alaskan newspaper published in a prosperous community.
 The owner has been a resident of the Territory for more than twenty-five years. He is a fish erman. Regulations by O'Mal- icy have made him afraid to buy new gear to replace wornout gear in his possession. He does not want to spend a thousand dollars for replacement just for the pleasure of spending money, He is afraid that O'Malley will make regulations which would he virtually conf1scation Of his gear and he would be holding an empty sack and out of mon ay for his pains.
 He has to live. He is going to live LIN THE STATES. He has been driven out of the Territory
 And yet business men wonder why it is that their volume of business is not increasing.
 Traps do not have teeth pull ed; traps do not have surgical operations; traps do not have machine shop bills; traps do not have shoe repair bills; nor need new suits Of clothes; they get no hair cuts nor slaves; traps do not play pool nor card games in the pool halls; nor do they eat in the restaurants nor go to the churches and Sunday schools or go to the movies; traps do not build our streets; nor build our roads.
 Traps do import their labor and ships them out and pays them off in Seattle; they import their foods and supplies and dc not support resident supply hous- es; they oppose residents ii ey- cry matter of legislation and i'm pose negotiable taxation to the burdensome point on resident business houses and individuals.
 The trap system through it's systematic efficiency and con- niVance of federal officials has made it impossible for fishermen to earn a saving wage. Which results in those people leaving the Territory for other labor markets. That system retards growth of every community and decrease in population not only possible, but an accom- plished fact.
 And these things and facts the ALASKAN has made plain; those things which do not tend toward development of the Territory. If we are and have been wrong, write in and show wherein we have been in the wrong. If we are and have been right, write in and com mend us for doing those things hat others have failed to do for tear of reprisal from their sup oorters.
 We are not now and we have never opposed any measure that would be to the benefit of fish, erman or businessman. We are pot now political opportunists who seeing the handwriting on he wall, switch from silent ag- gressiveness against the fisher men to one of seemingly open just because the politi- gal cards mean something to US.

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM
OF 1927

A number of the legislators of he 1927 session met in Juneau md adopted the following plat 'Orm:
 l. Elective Territorial Officials or all major offices.
 2. Separation of Territorial ffices from federal offices.
 3. Equitable taxation.
 4. Trap-taX based on catch.
 5. Discriminatory tax on non-
 asident fishermen.
 6. Repeal by Congress of Sec ion 27 of the Jones Merchant Garine Act.
 A careful study of the Demo ratio platforms or the platforms pOns0red by the Democratic candidates in the past several :ampaigns fails to show any Hanks similar to the above which in a large measure is the >Iatform of the candidates of
 he Republican candidates now before the electors.
 Oppose The Platform
 The Juneau Empire, official mouth piece for the Democratic party has consistently, insis- tently and persistently opposed election of territorial officials. This in spite Of the fact that he party, it's Individual candi- dates and the official mouth
 iece always cry for "full'' form f territorial government"
 They have opposed separation
 7 federal from territorial offices. Because the patronage of the system keeps them fat in the hog troughs of politics.
 While they talk of fair taxa tion they oppose any change in the system which permits the large mines to operate at pro- fit before they are subject to any tax. The net return must show 8 profit before they pay the tax to the Territory. It matters not one iota whether a cannery operates at profit or not-they must pay their taxes. A great many of the canners would be tickled pink to pay taxes only after showing a net return Of profit. This is un- fair and unjust. The tax rolls are written up by machine politi- clans in the legislature who are under the thumb of the mining interests. And the only interest that they have is to see that their corporate interests do not pay taxes.
 Trap-taX based on catch. This law has been proposed and spon- sored by the Republican legisla- .ors. The bigger the catch of the trap the higher the tax rate. The operation of a trap at a loss will mean that that trap will not pay any tax. The principle is all tight. for the big mining in ,ereStS but it is all wrong when applied to the fishing industry. That is why it has met with the of the Democratic ! egislators with their me-too re- actionary Republicans.
 The discriminatory tax on resident fishermen has
