SENATOR STEEL'S CANNERY
 SANITATION BILL

For several sessions past a de termined fight has been waged in the Territorial Legislature for enactment of Cannery Sani- tation bill. But thus far with out avail, even tho most of the Salmon cannery men believe that such a measure is neces- sary and would resist the indus try. There always seems to be enough reacti0nary members in one or the other House to de- leat this much needed measure.
 Tn the last session Senator Will A. Steel introduced bill in the Senate that provided: "An Act to regulate the operation of cannerieS and other establish ments for preparation of food from fish and aquatic animals, so as to insure the cleanliness and purity of the products to be packed, as we'll as to protect the health of the .pop1l; ;tion engag ed in or living nca s,.ch indl. tries"
 This was regarded as a valu- able and reasonable measure that might be gotten thru both Houses. Hearings were held in the Senate and with few incl dental amendments the bill passed on March IS, 1929. It then went to the House and was immediately referred to the Fisheries Committee. All ef- eorts to secure a hearing or have the bill reported were futile.
 The Legislature adjourned on Way 4 and on April 29, without even a hearing on the bill, the Committee made an adverse re- rort. Chairman Frank H. Eos ter, Alfred J. LOmen, Walter c. Fisher and F. R. TarWater sign ed the report that states: with the recommendation that the bill serves no useful purpose and should not pass" Another mem Der of the committee, A. H. ziegler signed the report thus ly: T: do not concur for the reason that the bill is too loose ly drawn and means nothing" The cnly member of the com mitte that favored the bill was P. c, Mccormack, who did Mot Concur" in the reports referred to.

FROM EDITORIAL PAGE

Of The Progressive, Washing ton, D. C., is taken the follow ing with reference to the com plaint of the Eskimos printed on another column;
 "Is the story of the extermin- ation of the American Indian to be repeated in Alaska? Are the natives in the vicinity of the Arctic circle, far from public scrutiny, to be exploited and driven to starvation by selfish interests? MT. O'Connor, writ ing to The Progressive about the letter on this page, says:

But these members who op- posed the bill never submitted an amendment or sought in any way to strengthen the bill that MT. ziegler said Means noth- ing. But of course the bill meant too much to these opponents and instead of making it strong CT, they were content to simply kill it, and they succeeded. The following day, April 30, the bill was put on it's final passage in the House and defeated by a vote of 5 to 10. Those favoring it were Donnelly, Mccormack, Mcdonald, Nylen and Vim Those opposed were Burgh, Fish CT, Foster, Lomen, Murray, Shat tuck, Tarwater, Woofter, zieg- ler, and Speaker Rothenberg.

aTneir story of complaint 1


 absolutely true, but only explains a small fraction of the abuse of these people. Like the Indian in the States, their case is piti- able. Tn the September issue of la Follette's Magazine was an article on the American Indian, and it looks as if those handling the ESkimos were taking leaf from the book of the American Indian agents. Congress should have the full facts on this mat ter" \. The Progressive hopes that Dan Sutherland, the Alaskan de- Ilegate in Congress, will be suc- cessful in putting the unhappy plight of these natives before Congress.-The Progressive.

mus again were the efforts of

the progressive Republicans of the First Division frustrated: Senators Benjamin and Steel; and Representatives Mccormack and Vim, worked without avail in the hope of securing this very much needed piece of legisla- .4ion. But when any of these
 men run for renomination there seems to be few noisy Denny Republicans who think that leg islators who try to do anything lor their constituents ought to be thrown into the discard. For tunately the great majority of the Republican voters in the First Division think otherwise
 and believe in the reward of
 merit.

Lonen Company, or other white men, and not let Natives sell fe- male deer to white man?
 We could sell female and get good money for them one time, and now our females as well as males are being killed by Govt men and we don't get one cent from them, and must ask the Chief herder or School teacher how much money we have make from the deer, but we can never find out.
 Why did Govt let white men own female deer? When Palm CT and his boss told Govt it don't hurt Natives but help them if white men own deer, why don't Govt ask natives something about those things? We will tell Govt no good for Natives, and now we find out we was right. =. Since Palmer want to mark lawns by percentage and Lomen people make laws at Juneau, Alaska, that deer belongs to the owner of his mark and then Lomen Go. go all over the Ma tive's grounds drive all deer and mark all unmark deer to Lomen Co, Lomen can get money to pay boys all roundup and mark their faWn, but Natives can't, so 1 lots of unmark Natives deer. Lo- men mark all. Natives herds near Lomen herd loses lots of deer this way.
 If white man want Reindeer in Alaska, why don't they come up here and work on deer like Eskimos when they was only a few deer here?
 Only they want deer now after We make them increase so much, now they want Govt to take our deer away from us and because it is no good for the Natives for white men to own deer we Ma tives like to have some good Govt man tell Govt take deer from white man and let only Natives have female deer.
 White man taken now our fish, iurs, whale, games and gold and now they want our Reindeer, and maybe some day they want our life. Please try help us what you can.

The Open Forum CAUSES OF CHANGES IN
 GOVERNMENTS
Petersburg, Alaska March IT, 1880
The Alaskan,
 Petersburg, Alaska

The Alaskan,
 Petersburg, Alaska !. :. Fentlemen:
 < It is now over eleven years Since the World War created such a change in the map of Europe and it is only very re- gently that our magazines have not carried an account of the fall of the Ministry and a change of government of one or the other of the small new States of Eastern Europe, in every is- Sue. .. ,,s It happened so often that the average American reader, when found that he started an ar ticle dealing with a change of Government in any of the newly created States of Europe, hasti- iy turned the page with a wish that the blame fools would only get together and quit rocking the boat without taking the trouble to find out what the row was ali about.
 ' Practically all of the rows were over land. The people of those countries insisted that all Of the large estates and all of he Government held land should be allotted to the indi- vidual in small holdings when this was done, the main source of trouble was over All that the people who were making the trouble wanted, was a piece of land to build homes on and own A very laudable ambition.
 Now comes an American farm expert with an article in The Country Gentleman who tells us that the commercial map of Europe is being rapidly changed on account of this policy. Whereas formerly large estates were used almost exclusively for the production of flax and grain that the new owners were turn ing to dairying, poultry and stock raising with an immense increase in value of production and universal betterment of liv- ing conditions.
 The point is this, those people : had been living under conditions such as are being foisted upon Alaska today and when the time came for them to create a new government, they would not quit until the land was returned to them.
 We are not living in the land of Czar, but no proclamation prohibiting the mining of gold or precious metals in Siberia, without Imperial permit, was ever more unjust or unfair than our own governments ban on the mining of coal and oil in Alaska.
 No concession to rich mineral lands in the Ural Mountains or grants of immense holdings in Poland were more disrespectful to the common rights of man than are the promulgated tim Der leases to the pulp mills of Alaska.

Reindeer to the Natives. hot one


 Reindeer to the Natives, hot one live deer.
 The Natives had to work for them or pay cash for them at the rate of $40 to $25 a female with a lawn.
 When the Reindeer first got here in Alaska the Natives work ed hard for them to get their Reindeer.
 Those who herded to get their Reindeer first worked for five years for their grub and clothes and five years more for grub and clothes and with twenty-five female deer which the Govt l loaned them to be returned. Later on was to pay two fe- male deer a year each for five years, and then later on a MT. Lopp who was a Chief Supt. of the Reindeer in Alaska saw that the Natives would never become self supporting on so small a pay, so he raised it to six deer for the first year, eight for the second year, ten for the third year and ten for the fourth year, with all the supplies furnished the first year, two thirds the second year, one third the third year and none the fourth year.
 From since then they in crease fast, and maybe the white people think the Natives got their deer free for nothing, but we worked hard to earn them, day and night, in winter, in stormy weather we had to take care of them even if we lost on our way.
 And finally the Natives got their ow nreindeer, and the meat they use for food, and the skins for their clothing, and they sup port their families by using them and nowadays the games are scarce, and the Reindeer are taking the place of games.
 The Natives do not raise wheat potatoes, or any kind of products that the white people raised in the States, but the Natives had to hunt to live by the animals and fish.
 If the animals and fish are -2carce the Reindeer are the on- " thing the Natives will have. Tor that reason, we Natives are interested in the Reindeer h. dustry, and that's why we walt 1 to handle our own reindeer ard we don't want no white man to handle it.
 When MT. w. c. Shields was Su- perintendent of the Reindee' Industry the Reindeer works was going on a good business and everythings seems to be on good business.
 He was very interested in Reindeer Industry. He tried to get every Native to get his own Reindeer, and every Reindeer owner likes him.
 Ever since he died during the Flu, the Reindeer Industry starts ] to raise trouble, after that We can't get no other Superintend- ent so good as he is.
 Under Supt. Shields the Gov tea chers has been a good teach CTS.
 Best teacher of all We had at Igloo was MT. Harry D. Reese under Supt. Shields. He was in good care of the Reindeer re- ports all through his term, and after those two men left, the Reindeer Industry had start 70 change into trouble.
 Now it seems to US that these l.
