DELEGATE EXPOSES FISHERY
 MONOPOLY

That every state in the Union AND EVERY TERRITORY FIX CEPT ALASKA handles it's own fisheries. Even the Territory of Hawaii handles it's own fisheries and in addition to that when their organic act was passed, they were given the right to de- clare any privately owned fish cries free (paying for them, of course).
 The Commissioner of Fisheries cannot go against the will of the interests that created him.
 per cent in 1929, proving con- clusively by the Bureaus own statistics that fishing privileges have been taken from resident Alaska citizens who would build homes and develop the territory and given gratis to citizens of other commonwealths- an in |custry that produces thirty-flve to fifty million dollars in fish per year but which produces in taxes under the present system only about $5OO,OOO.
 That during the past ten years Southeastern Alaska has pro- duced a yearly average of 2,373,- e48 cases of salmon with 2,793 men, while British Columbia, without traps has produced r. 1 i47O, ,1O2 cases with 9,322 men. In other words, if the Alaska pack
 had been put up at the same
 rate per man as in British Co.,
 lumbia, it would have required
 over 15,OOO men instead of less
 than 2,SOO men, yet the fish were packed largely by the same
 companies, and sold in the same
 markets at the same prices. (This represents a difference of
 more than 12,OOO fshermen). It is better for the Bureau of
 Fisheries to cure it's own ills ] THAN TO HAVE THEM CURED FOR THEM.
