The Alaskan., 1930-05-02

Over the name of Dan Aston
 we carried the fight to the point
 where the different Chambers
 ct Commerce and other citizens took up the battle against the destruction. They agreed with us. Tn fact was that a little shortage of bait was holding up the halibut fleet and the coffers of some of the businessmen was being hurt. So they AGREED with US.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle is in agreedment with us. This paper is the inspired mouthpiece of big capital around Ketchikan. They were aroused by revelations that were made by Senator J. R. Hickman and be it known that they have denounced the use of herring for fertilizer.
 We reprint the editorial taken from it's issue of October 3rd, and remark that we rejoice when a sinner repenteth-even if we doubt the repentance, and predict that some day this same Chronicle will denounce the fishtrap. If business depression continues in the First City, Ed Morrissey will be compelled to do so.
 Their editorial follows: Juneau and Herring Situation
 Business men of Juneau who paid no attention to the fish business for years, who permit ted Ketchikan, Wrangell and Pe- terSburg to go ahead of them as fisheries centerS, now rise to speak for the Territory, to de- fend the wanton destruction of herring for fertilizer and meal. As their viewpoint of the past regarding the fisheries was way behind the foresight of the other towns of Alaska, so now they are attempting to destroy, by aid- ing and abetting the fertilizer packers not only the herring but the salmon industry.
 The argument Is put forward that the meal is used for the raising of chickens in California and other states. Herring was never the natural food of the chickens, but herring is the na- tural food of the salmon and halibut. It would seem more in order for Alaskans to attempt to preserve and conserve feed for thir fisheries than to furnish fodder for California chickens. Other food can befound for the bird, but there is no substitute for the salmon.
 Of course, the chicken food talk is a lot of camoufiage. The herring men are destroying the fisheries. They know it and everyone else knows it, but they think only of today.

GETTING RELIGION

We preach a gospel of econom- ic salvation. Of necessity we de- nounce the waste and destruc- tion of our great resources.
 We denounce the Bureau of Fisheries, Pharisees and hypo- critics who pretend to conserve our salmon while permitting the nonresident canneries and trap men to skim the milk, with the result that the salmon are being destroyed and the population with it. ". More than two years ago, we denounced the use of herring for fertilizer. At that time, the fer tilizer plants were only using ONE million pounds of herring per day for fertiizelr. We were caled radicals. against capital, and other names. But we per- sisted because we had the facts before us.

PROSPERITY AND BANKS

"FiniS" was written over the charters of 1,494 state and na- tional banks during 1929.
 Of this number, 799 merged with others and became part of the immense system of chain banking, and s95 closed their doors for "other reasons"
 The total number of banks is now less than 25,000, a falling off of more than 5000 since 1922.

Composed of molecules and dust.

"A matter, sir. Of endocrine.
And though I warned such heresy-
ReapGi loss OF faith in ecstasy.
Our dreams you placed upon a slide
And probed them with a chemists pride,
They filled you with no cosmic dread
But merely turned blue litmus red.
Twas then that I dethroned the gods

And thought 1t jolly for a day.
TO see in beauty just the clay.
But when you made me one with swine.

So then another man I found
Whose theories aren't quite profound
He does not defy the glands.
But writes sweet n to my hands.
