the highly unicniZed trades such IS
the railroad brotherhoodS. and Civn
Service employees of the Federal and
Of The most state and Municipal Gov
crnments. While this Is going on. the
controversy still wakes warm between
those who n1atnt IN that the key to
prosperity is reduction of costs OF
production and distribution, and who
also hold that the decline in coEnn.Gd-
ity prices CT the past two yeavS means
that where money wages have rot
been cut real wages have in effect
been lifted. and those who see In every
w-ge cut a dehation In purchasing

A SCHOOL OF SALMON

It is said that an argument advanced for the salmon troll CTS, in impromptu and unofficial discussions of Oregon fisheries at the state legislature, is that they instruct the five species of Pacific salmon in precautionary measures toward the glitter of the deceptive lure. Thus they are really public benefactors and wild life conservationists while they ply their salty and dangerous calling a few miles offshore. How might any one, even a hard-bitten troller with @ weeks growth of whiskers, in Struct a salmon?
 It sounds absurb, but it Is in

JUST A REMINDER

Last summer, just before leaving Ketchikan for Seattle and San Francisco to hold a conference with the salmon rackerS, Commissioner of Fish cries Henry O'Malley stated to William L. Paul of Ketcllikan, that he (Mr. O'Malley) would give Alaska fishermen notice in ample time for them to meet with him in Ketchikan or some other Alaska city in order that they could present their views 2S to regulation of the industry.
 We remind the public of this promise at this time in order that they will permit MT. O'Mal- ley keep the faith with the re- sident fishermen. And in order that they might prepare their statements in ample time to pre- sent them in an orderly man ner.
 This will mark, if he keeps his promise, the first time in the history of Alaska fisheries dur ing O'Malley's administration, that he will give any heed, if consideration is not mentioned, at all. It is to be hoped that a common ground may be obtain ed wherein the difference may be ironed out and the entire in dustry and Territory benefited.

THE RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE

Professor Douglas c. MacIn- tosh, a distinguished scholar and professor in Yale Divinity School and a Canadian World War vet eran was refused, last year, nat
 uralization as an American citi- zen by federal judge because he would not agree against his conscience, to bear arms for this country in case of war. He carried his case to the Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed decision of the lower courts The right of conscience in this mat ter of taking arms in war is in- yolved in the fundamental right of liberty and it has always been So recognized. God alone is lord of the conscience" is virtual ly the decision of the courts
 Another case, that of a woman
 past her three score and ten years allotted her, was carried to the Supreme Court and Justice Holmes wrote an opinion which
 is considered a classic by stu dents of civil government.
 In the words of Decatur My country right or wrong; if it is wrong We will make !; right
 Conscience there rules the con- duct of the individuals as it must rule the conduct of our nation.

AN ADMISSION OF FAILURE

Way back in 1915, Hon Frank lin K. Lane, Secretary of the Tn- terior pointed out that since 1863 the United States had ex- pended $85, 100000 in the educa- tion of the American Indian Beginning with an appropria- tion of $2O,OOO, the annual ap- oropriation Gin 1915) reaches nearly $5,OOO,0OO." The follow |lng year it touched $11,000,0OO 2nd each succeeding year the appropriation increased until this year it tops $24,000,000.
 Twenty-four million dollars for the education of 300,000 In- dianS is a lot of money. A whole lot more than is spent by the various state governments on an equal number of citizens. And in spite of these large appropria- lions, the Government still has it's Indian Problem" and "In- dian Wards" on it's hands. Given the same amount of money, the states under their school systems would long since have absorbed the Indian and there would be no more reservation system.
 The appropriations will con- tinue to feed that vast army of parasites in the Indian Bureau; oarnacles that retard the pro- gress of the Indian as no other bureau under the American sys- tenn of government.

BREAD PRICES TOO HIGH

Wheat and flour prices have dropped enormously in the past flew months, but bread prices have remained level in most cases.
 The consequence of this is a bread strike" in Chicago and some other cities.
 Investigations by the Capper Senatorial Committee recently brought out that wholesalers sell to retailers at cents for a IT, ounce loaf and to the War De- partment at 4 cents a pound.
 Wheat has toppled from high of SITS per bushel down to an average of 60 cents while bread prices have been reduced only a trif1e and in many cases not at all.
 Master bakers have produced figures showing that the cost of producing a pound of bread is around 4.07 cents a pound, of which ingredients cost only 2.06 cents; the rest goes in overhead.
 Statistics from 51 cities show that bread prices are relatively

A HELPING HAND

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce has initiated a movement 10 get the canneries to employ local labor this coming season The movement is under direction of Mr. G. II. Wamsley at the re- quest of Governor Parks.
 In the past the Juneau Cham Der has not given much heed to he plea of local labor for en- ployment. Along with their poli-
 ical mentor the Juneau Empire, they figured the more foreign abor imported the better the country.
 With only about forty per cent Of the canneries listed as operat- Fng it is not probable that very large list of labor will be needed,

WHY THE DEPRESSION

Frank A. Vanderlip, former president of the National City Bank of New York City, in a re- cent address said:
 What I really think happen ed was that capital kept too much and labor did not have enough to buy it's share ot things"
 The consequence of labor in Alaska not having sufficient to Juy it's share of things the com ing year will be far reaching and it will hurt every line of business endeavor. This is warning :everal months ahead of the time when the consequences will be felt.
The Alaskan., 1931-02-27
ALASKAN, GO TROLLING

Tt is understood that few of the canneries will use any seine boats and most of the fish pro- bably will be obtained by the cannerS in their own traps"
 If the canners who will oper- ate this summer will obtain their products from their own traps, it is @ foregone cOnSclu- sion that resident fishermen will not be employed in the taking of salmon this year. The only thing left for them to do is to get their skiffs and what nots and go trolling.
 The canners have never had consideration for the welfare of the territory. They have always chosen to rape the resources for the benefit of dividends. Rather than protecting resident labor in the fishing industry. they plan to use only their traps Using only 300 traps will mean employment of 600 men for a couple of monthS-moSt of which labor will be imported Their earnings will be held un. der contract for payment in Se- attle or point of employment Resident labor can just go to the beaches and dig clans and eat muscles and bullheads-ol make their fortunes in the trol- ling game.
 Salmon Prices
 Buyers are offering nineteen cents present market for king salmon. Last year about this time it was thirty-four cents. By midsummer last year the pric- es dropped to 15 cents. With the present market conditions it is well to expect that the buyers will drop even as low as ten cents per pound by midsummer if not lower. It is plain to see that resident fishermen might as well prepare for a lean season this year, And if they have a lean season, it might be just as well for the businessmen to giro up their belts and expect the eame kind of season in their business.

right by committing another wrong. Much better it would have been to enter official pro-
 test against the playing of the man and then enter the game with the idea of playing fast clean game as befltting a good sport. Later on the matter of eli- gibility of the disputed player could be taken up by a. board
 and the matter settled fittingly.

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP

At the Monday night game ot basketball between Petersburg High School and Ketchikan High School teams, local rooters call I'd one of the visiting members grandpa" until he lost ocntrol
 )f his temper and he threw the oall into the crowd! If the ref cree were on to the job he would
 lave disqualified the player for 5his act of unSportsmanlike con- duct. But, it is we'll to know that
 ,here is such a thing as un-
 portsmanlike roofing and that
 | team may be penalized for such
 .ooting by it's supporters. When
 the local rooters begin to be-
 come personally abusive, the To-
 al team should have been pen
 ized in the interest of good,
 'lean sportsmanship.
 The Cause of the Names.
 The member of the Kayhi cam called grandpa" was challenged last year as being Jver age and therefore not en- S;lble to take part in hign schoo4 -.JnleticS. The charge was maae through the columns of the Alaskan and carried on to the principal of the ketchikan Hign school. MT. Karnes of that school secured affidavitS from relatives of Roy Peratrovich, the disputed player, certifying that he was not yet twenty years ot age. Petersburg Hi went to keG- cnikan and played against that l team with this man but a1sof used a man declared unqualified | to play. This year again a pro test was entered against Pera- 1 vrovich but aside from the afh- iavits of his relatives no proof ] is offered that he is not of the age he is alleged to be. There l are some who believe that he Is older than the afddavitS certify but they are unwilling to swear to their allegations. So the mat ter rests. Roy is under twenty one years of age until it is shown in the face of the afidavits on file in Ketchikan.
 No Excuse
 There is no excuse for ull- 'portsmanlike conduct on the nome floor in a game as on ( Monday night. It does not give 0 the town of Petersburg a re- for being clean and E. air playing opponents and it| caves a bad taste with no com gain for such conduct. f Kayhi does a wrong in play ng an ineligible player, Peters 'urg does not make the actJt
