New Bill of Rights

In the United States we have democracy Gin theory, at least)
 for everybody but the Americans. The Indians, the only group really entitled to that name, are as everyone knows presumed to be incapable of managing their own affairs, and are therefore made wards of the federal gov ernment. The hardships, injus- tices and oftentimes the down. right cruelties which they suffer have many times been set forth and need not be repeated here. Now at last several bills have been introduced in Congress which hold out some hope for an amelioration of present condi- tions, by freeing the Indians largely from governmental con- trol. In the House a bill proposes the incorporation of the Kla- math tribe, the corporation thus formed being empowered to carry on all important tribal business. If this experiment should be adopted, and should
 prove successful, it will be fol- lowed in the case of other tribes
 as well. In. the Senate two bills

Bureaus Assailed

A bipartisan commission of the Senate and House, to investi- gate and report by December on the "unconstitutional usurpa- tion of powers" by government bureaus, was proposed by Re- presentative Beck, Republican, of Pennsylvania, in the House recently.
 A former solicitor general and known for his writings and lec- lures on the constitution, Beck astonished the membership by his assertion that three-fourths of the activities of the depart, ment of agriculture are illegal.
 Invalid Acts
 The department of commerce also is "honeycombed" with in valid activities, he said. Over the agriculture department build ings, he added, should be hung this sign:
 Sacred to the memory of the dead constitution of the Unit ed States"
 America is rapidly approach ing a socialistic government of almost unlimited power, he said, pleading for restoration of gov ernment ito the original chan nels as conceived by it's fathers. "
 Beck poked fun at the mat ernity bureau and other govern mental activities such as those giving advice on How to Hang Curtains. He said
 My own belief is that the unmarried ladies who run the maternity bureau can't tell the American mother anything. "- Seattle P-I.

JOE DEXTER FRETS FOR OPEN SPACES OF
 ALASKAN HOME

After testing the sweets cf civilization in a months visit, his first trip outside" in thirty three years, Joe Dexter is rush ing back to Alaska, his lonely lonely trading post at Golovln, his native wife and family, and the rigors of the Northland.
 Dexter is in Seattle after re- turning from the East where he visited relatives. And he can hardly wait for steamer day to start his voyage north. Modern Business Man
 But if you're picturing him as the traditional "sourdough" Ct fiction, you'll be agreeably sur prised to see him as a small clean-Shaven business type in well-cut gray suit, English oxfords and a wrist watch. And he uses an airplane for his Golovin-Nome business trips. The only touch of the North land is a nugget pin in his cravat.
 Dexter has decided views or the educational problem of the natives.
 What the natives need," he asserts, "are more hospitals and less schools. More practical training and less impractical training.
 Practical Training Needed
 When they are graduated, the boys know how to run lathe
 but what they need to know is how to build a kyak to earn their living and to travel.

HURLEY LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO
REFLECT HOOVER IN MID WEST

HURON, S. D., Sept. Is. U.P)-
Secretary of War Patrick j. Hurley
launched President Hoover's cam
paign for reelection in this wheat
state today by picturing his chief
as the pilot who brought the ma
ton through one of our worst econ
omic storms and has eharted the
way to recovery.
Speaking at the South Dakota
State Fair, Hurley defended the
Presidents acts and policies, an
swered critics and compared Hoov-
er's record with the promises of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Demo-
cratic candidate.
1t was the first direct answer of
Republican from the high COM
.nand delivered in the agricultural
regions, to Roosevelt's pronounce
ments on his and his party's farm
relief policies But the secretary
Of war stressed the economic prob
lem.
"T'he only workable plan to break
the depression was made by
President Hoover" he said. Hun
dreds of ill-advised panaceas have
been offered the people. Most of
them had in them elements that
wodld have destroyed the economic
system
He said the Hoover non-partisan
economic plan "is restoring credit,
increasing employment and creating
! confidence
Hurley criticized Roosevelt's state
ment, "the bubble burst first in
the land of its origin, the United
States" by declaring Governor
Roosevelt has completely ignored
the World war and its aftermath
of economic chaos"
Ridicules Attack
The secretary ridiculed the New
York governors attack on Hoover
for fraud" and footing schemes
in the sale of stock and declared
that nearly all the fraud and ex-
ploitation referred to by the COVER
nor transpired in his own state"
Hurley answered Roosevelt s
promise of reform in the national
banking laws by referring to Hoov-
Imperial Valley press., 1932-09-15

er's recommendation to the same
effect to the last congress and cited
figures intended to refute the DEM
ocratic candidates assertion that
the tariff is the highest in the
world.
He pointed TO the Garner-spon-
sored pork barrel" bill and others
in criticism of the Democrats claim
that they favor reduction in the
cost of government.
Pointing to President Hoovers
record, the cabinet member said:
HE inaugurated program of
federal construction to stimulate in
dustry and increase employment.
He trebled public construction. He
sponsored a building program by
state and local governments and
private industry to increase employ
ment.
HE stopped immigration by exc
! cutive order. He conciliated capital
and labor.
HE modified public opinion and
organized local and national relief
agencies to take care of the dis
tressed. He defeated the dole.

WANTON WASTE AND DESTRUCTION
OF FOOD FISH

Delegate Understands bill to prohibit the
wanton waste and destruction of herring, salmon
and other food fish in Alaska is slated for the
discard according to the action of the committee
on Merchant Marine Radio and Fisheries.
It appears to be matter of little concern to
the business interests of Alaska the several
Chambers of Commerce that the herring fisheries
shall be destroyed. It is very shortsighted
policy which permits death of this BILL
We have seen the day when 147 "snloke boats
operated in Chatham Straits district, bringing in
thousands of pounds of herring which were fed
to reduction machines and fertilizer and oil made
from the works. Where lat boats operated less
than three years ago, only so operated last year
and only rs will operate this year. AS depletion
has been accomplished, the so boats did as much

catch without the Smile limit. During the closed
season in Alaska, resident fishermen SHALL NOT
bring into Territorial waters any fish caught out
side that limit.
Oregon and Washington trollers may clear
for Alaska waters and operate outside the Smile
limit return to Prince Rupert and Washington or
Oregon ports and dispose of their catches. Alaska
fishermen must remain on the beach in port
and twiddle their thumbs while the nonresident
fishermen are permitted to operate through this
unfair discrimination.
The business men of Alaska are just as in
terested in these matters as the fishermen. There
IS no business man in Alaska who is not vitality
effected by this legislation. There is no business
man but would be greatly benefited by greater
earning power of the fishermen. It is a matter of
deep wonder to those interested why any business
should be Indifferent to the welfare of those
people whose earnings makes possible the con-
t2nuance of virtually every mercantile establish
nlent in the fishery sections
The fishermen themselves should be more
Brotherhood, in Southeastern Alaska is the only
organization which is making any opposition TO
this WEIGH Bill which is kin to the Sulzer-Alex-
ander bill which would have given title to trap
sites.
In the end, if this legislation passes and the
territory is Disseminated against, it will be the
fault of the fishermen much anyone else
for their Indifference permits passage without
trouble.

OF ALASKANS ALWAYS
PAID FOR
When matters relati1

When matters relative to the flSherleS or
Alaska before Congress, the people most VITAL
ly effected are usually Indifferent and do not
present their support or objections The Delegate
to Congress is handicapped in having but little
support as those in favor of most measures
careful that they are always heard by petition,
action of the Chambers of Commerce. federal
officials of the Territory and by paid lobbyists in
Washington. The resident population related to
the fisheries never have the money to send IL
personal representative to assist the Delegate in
Congress- they do not take the time to write in
protests or support relating to matters before
Congress and they permit their preudices to de-
stroy any solidarity of effort. Therefore in the end
they themselves suffer as we'll as the Territory.
We present the WEIGH Bill as concrete in
stance. BY the terms of this bill no floating
merry may operate in Alaska unless they have
made application for license prior to December
3ist of each current year; no salmon may be
brought into the ports of Alaska from without the
emile limit during any closed season. But this
prohibition, by amendment has been removed
from other continental waters of the United
States
It has been established beyond shadow Of
doubt that the WEIGH bill is an attempt to gain
a complete monopoly over the Bristol Bay dis
tricts. The part that Commissioner of Fisheries
Henry OMalley has played in this stinks to high
heaven.
The packing combine has complete control
over that district having secured title to all
available cannery sites by of soldiers script.
The only way an operator, not member of the
combine, may enter that country is to use the
floating cannery The bill is designed to protect
the combine which packs and markets 987 per-
cent of the salmon from that district The total
pack of that district is 100000 cases Of which
the floating canneries- three in number-pack
10000 The effort of the WEIGH bill should
be directed not to the protection of the combine
BY the destruction of the operations of the little
Gamers, but for the strengthening of those small
outfits, There is denying, the effect of this bill
is to drive out the floating operators.
