 In closing let me remind you that nobody has a better right to protest than the natives of Alaska. This was our own coun- try before the Russians came i'ere, they exercised no author .ty as a ruling power; their forts (tWO in number in s. e. Alaska) were for their own protection and nothing else Whatever they did was done only with the per mission of the Natives. When Russia sold Alaska, Russia sold only what it had-nothing as far as my people were concern ed Certainly the resources were in our hands. In respect to the fisheries, We owned our fishing streams and the right to fish therein just as truly as those rights were owned by the In- dians in the States. We were not consulted. Nor did we re- eeive anything for the surren- der of the property rights which we enjoyed.

THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

Thee rights have now been take from us under the guise of "re yulations in the interest of cOnse1 1atiOn. We have not Ob- jccted. Indeed we are rather proud of the fact that we are now t,,lc spiritual descendants of Thono1s Jefferson and George Washington. That is why we claim the protection of the Con- ititutiOn, and affirm that our rrope ty rights should not be taken away from us without due proce~5 of law. The fish that come to our streams were not and never were the property of the people of the United States as vol affirm. They belong to to US. You a representative from Oklahoma should be fanlil- jar with the history of Indian claim for they are all based on the scme principle, namely, that Whi'c the United States may buy the right to rule country (as Jefferson purchased the LoUi ilna territory), the United States must still buy the pro- perty from the actual owners, Whi 2h of course has been done wit, the Indians who live in Okl homa and elsewhere whence come the entire reservation sys- tenn. These fish belong to us and not to you in the States. And by system of regulations foun>'ed on spacious arguments,
 in t!2e interest of conservation" We find that we have no streams, no hunting grounds-all is gone

which the Bureau of Fisherie; has placed ENTIRELY on IL; should be shifted and placed at least equally on the big non-re- sident corporations which came to Alaska and found the plenty that came here while we were in charge of our own fisheries, before O'Malley's era during which depletio nhas taken place. Don't forget that the destruc- tion of our natural resourc- cs was brought about by the white man:-he destroyed the fur seal, the sea-otter, the mar ten, the beaver, the mink, the deer, and now the fisheries of Alaska. All of this was done over and in spite of our protests, and because of our protests, we are called "Bolsheviks," enemies If capital, and the cause or symbol of our oppression is de- tended by such as you on the ground of your personal regard for O'Malley and under a pre- tense that you know something CT everything about Alaskan fisheries.
 l called on you one day, do you remember, and I asked you why you made that amendment that would have prohibited the seine as we'll as the trap from certain described waters as mentioned i'll the White Fish Bill, and you told me that you really did not understand, but had been lead to believe that both forms were equally destructive according to the testimony at the hearing of that bill. You owe it to the B. coo natives whom I represent; the hundreds of wives, the hun dreds Of children who are now

Attorney General William D. Mitchell has sounded
a warning to the senate judiciary committee. he
appeared before the committee to talk on the resolu-
ton for senate investigation Of prohibition. He OPP
posed this on the ground that it would paralyze en-
forcement work during the inquiry. He urged, in
stead. that congress enact the prison relief legislation
and the measure transferring prohibition. He at
tributed the over-taxing Of the federal machinery to
the prohibition, white slave, narcotic and automobile
theft law.
He declared with emphasis on his words. 1T makes
me feel that we ought to get our house in order and
increase our facilities for handling the criminal bust
ness we already have. before we start passing any
more federal statutes that make things federal crimes
that are not federal crimes at present"
Those who are interested in the cause Of prohi-
biticn, either dry or wet or modification proposals,
are reminded that In the current number Of the Sat
urday Evening Post there is q remarkable editorial
which is certain to give offense TO the ultra drys with
out containing very much consolation for the extreme
vets.
Its writer boldly hints that the time is drawing near
for a nationwide referendum In order that the issue
OF prohibition may be emphatically settled in order
that the lawmakers may direct attention to the
economic problems which came in with the new
civilization and what is known as the machine age OF
man.

A Judicial Knockout for

There Is q Creager faction and a Wurzbach faction
In the county Of Bexar, in the shadows Of the Alamo.
Chieftains Of the factions carried their scraps TO the
courts. Control Of the Craftsmanship Of the county
committee. as well as the committee itself, was the
prize at stake. Judge Frederick Stevens OF the dis
trict court heard the evidence and the argument, and
decided for the Wurzbach faction. This reversed
q decision Of the state republican convention OF 1928
which seated the Creager faction delegates and
recognized the Creager county committee. Nov the
war is on, and now Harry M. is ambitious TO con-
tinue for another term Of two years the role Of "only

Senator Caraway: I refer the gentlemen to my
