SALMON PACK CURTAILMENT

The preparations for next years canning season by various corporations in Seattle is pro- |oeeding very slowly. Very little has been done aside from "Watchful waiting" and hoping
 for turn in the trend of market prices for salmon which is now
 at it's lowest ebb since 1906-O7 and 1908. So far pinks and chumS
 have been selling below cost and it is inevitable that curtailment Iof production must take place as the over-production of salmon in the past and the under-con- sumption by the consumers, does not warrant operations on any large scale. Already reports are current that various canneries will not operate this year-some by force of lack Of banking faci- l5tleS and lack of funds and others in an effort to curb the depressing condition of the salm- on markets.
 While this condition will be disastrous to the fishing interests of the Territory, it will have the effect of building up the salmon cycle which has been cut to such a low level that now in place of three distinct salmon runs there is but one.

printed word advertisement in each copy and is likewise charge able with the zone rates of post age prescribed for the advertis- ing portion of publications. The failure of a publisher to mark matter coming within the pro- visions of the act mentioned is made punishable by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500.
 ''The requests also imply that the advertiser expects the pub fisher to insert the publicity matter as straight editorial or reading matter without marking it with the printed ward 'adver- tiSement' as required by law. If the publisher should comply with such requests under the conditions referred to and should insert the matter in his publications without plainly
 marking it with the word 'ad- vertisement,' thus withholding from the nOStaI service the fact that the matter is advertising within the meaning of the law, and thus lead to deprive the government of it's just revenue, the action might constitute 2 conspiracy within the cOntem- platiOn of the Act of March 4 1909, embodied in the postal flaws and regulations, which read as follows:
 If two or more persons con spire either to commit any of fense against the United States in any manner or for any pur- pose, and one or more of such
 parties do any act to effect the object of conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shah

The power issue was predom- inant in elections in the states
 Julius Meier governor elect of Oregon, in spite of the power of the metropolitan press, defeated other candidates in that state on that issue. Other states have sounded the warning and Sen ator McNary of Oregon has pub licly stated that he is going to give support to the Norris Bould- CT Dam bill which was defeated by the last session of Congress. Senator McNary is assistant Re
 publican whip in the Senate and his support of the power bill sounds rather disconcerting to the administration leaders whC have opposed the Norris bill.

cretary of Education in the cabinet.
 As this newspaper has point ed out before, the nation has a perfect example of bureaucrat- ic control of education. It is in Washington, D. C., where the federal government runs the schools.
 The figures show that the il- literacy rate in the capital booned by federal schools-iS just twice what it is in any giv- en western state.
 The only possible conclusion is that the bureaucrats are just twice as inefficient as any vest ern local school board-2,.'' heaven knows some of the lat ter are bad enough.
 Control of your children thru the schools is wanted by bureau cracy in order that bureaucracy may make more jobs for it's hangers-on, and that it may in feet the young with any sort of ideas it chooses. Under the sys- tenn, schools would become hot beds of propaganda, even more 90 than at present.
 The place to control a school is at home Operation of the plant should rest solely with the parents involved, acting thru
 heir own elected representa- tives.
 The national bureau plan i: merely another step in the pro iect to abolish parents altogoth- CT and communiZe children without regard to parents wish es or rights.

The protest of resident Alas kans against the competition of fibre boxes was given a little consideration by the Gamers Association which met in con- vention last fall. Juneau Wran- gell and Petersburg Commercial Clubs had entered protest a. gainst the use of fibre containers for canned salmon products in lieu of the wood containers man lfactured in Alaska.

O'MALLEY FAVORS SINNERS
 SAYS EMPIRE

x
 A recent issue of the Juneau Empire had an editorial under the above caption. As argument for proof of Henry OMalley's attitude of kindliness toward the fishermen the Empire says: Restrictions will be largely aim ed at traps, he indicated And out of the proposed reduction of 58 in the Panhandle, 51 will come from companies operating five or more traps. Thus the indepen- dent trapmen and the little fellows" stand a chance of get ing off lightly. The commission CT was not inclined to make any changes in regulations affecting purse seines. Existing regula- tions have made it impossible for the big boats from Puget Sound to come north and oper- ate. At present, the commission CT feels, according to the Pacific Fisherman. that the seine boats are owned by individuals, most Of whom reside in the Territory end are dependent for their liv- ihood on the use of their gear"
 There were some 780 traps operated in Alaska last year of which about 580 were operated in Southeastern Alaska. Reduc- tion of 51 traps in these waters mean simply that less than ten per cent of the traps operated will be affected. The question has been asked: Will the big and best traps-the big killers of salmon-he eliminated in this group of 51 traps or just the dummy" traps that mean noth- ing to the industry other than to prevent other trapmen from getting on the site and thereby cork traps operating on strate- gic points? Reduction of the mv- riad of traps by 51 is not much of a reduction if the traps are not producers and it might be just an idle boast that reduc- ton of this gear to this tune is the gesture of conservation.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood and it's two organs, The Alaska Fisherman and The Alas kan, have waeed battle royal with MT. O'MalIey for several. years. Every contention which they have set forth have been Vlndicated by changes in the ruling in favor of the seirer or the department has backed up and made less rigorous their ruling. The future in this fight to prevent discrimination a. galnSt the small resident opera tor is more hopeful than it eve~ was, More and more friends are being secured in Congress and III other places so that the pres sure on the Bureau of Fisheries 7nd it's head is becoming more ] and more felt and they are backing up more and mere a. 9alnst the wall in admission of their failure to fairly am iustlv administer the fisheries regula- tions of Alaska.

The Pacific Fisherman for one does not appear to be falling in line with the induStry-cannerS or fishermen. It is endorsing without qualifications passage of the international salmon treaty which would give entire and ab- solute control of the sockeye fisheries to a board composed of commissioners from both coun- tries and the American mem . hership of which Washington wants two of it's citizens apoint- ed The Canadians favor the treaty and have threatened drastic action unless the treaty is signed Governor Hartley has voiced his objection and Senators Jones and Dill declare that Hartley's opposition just about kills the treaty. What is wrong with the bill-if it were bad the Canadians would not favor it and it's opponents have not been very dif1nite in stating their ob- iections. Perhaps it is a bit too honest in conservation policy for the alleged conservationists. Watch the Bureau of Fisheries and see how it jumps on this question.

In discussing the subject. F. A. Hilton, Third Assistant Post master-General, said:
 Tt has come to the attention of the department that publicity articles are being offered to the publishers for insertion as read ing matter in copies of their publications mailed at the se- cond class pound rates of post age. The requests accompany ing such publicity articles give the publisher to understand that if he does not comply with the request to insert the publicity matter in his publication he may not expect display advertising On the other hand, if he pub fishes the publicity matter as reading matter he may expect to be favored. with display adver- Using.
