At What Price?

Each election year, the press of the country. and the politicians come around to the several Alaska precincts urging full territorial form of government" In the past we have pointed out that this is lot of hokum. There is no sincerity back of the demand for full territorial autonomy
 The Ketchikan Chronicle said in a recent editorial under the caption TAT WHAT PRICE:;' Delegate Wckershams bill introduced at this session of congress to grant additional power to the Alaska legislature ito conserve, protect, and manage the salmon and other fisheries" in the territory, is admittedly enough, step in the right direction
 But does it come at an opportune time?
 We think not. Especially in view of section of that bill which would give the legislature immediate authorization ito provide funds in the treasury. .. to meet the expense of taking over and exercising the powers conferred by the bill
 Where would this money come from? Just where will it be possible to raise taxes to increase tEe revenue by the thousands of dollars necessary
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01

desire, if elected mayor, to cut vhe tax rate as low as possible commensurate with necessary expenses and completion of pro- Ijects now underway-whicn work must be done at a mini mum of cost.
 For the information of the class in civics and their rela- tives, it is pointed out that twice MT. Locken served as mayor with a deficit on hand to meet and twice he left the of- flee with neat balance on hand. That is the record which might be ascertained from the city books.
 It is not proper to declare policies that he will follow without first having ascertained that he intends following such policies. It is wrong to declare that he will stop all improve ments and construction now under way without he so an- nounces such dimensions. It is well that the class in civics be given every opportunity to draw their conclusions from facts pro- perly presented and it is wrong Ito permit conclusions to be drawn by failure to properly present the facts in the matter CT to give it to them through misapprehension.
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01
Territorial Absentee Voting

Delegate Wickersham introduced in the House of Representatives H. R. 9889, a bill to validate chapter 89 of the Session Laws of Alaska for the year 1931 and for other purposes The measure is an tact to provide method of voting for ab- sentee electors and to prescribe penalties for the violations of the provisions thereof" enacted by the last legislature, approved by Governor Parks on April 30, 1881 and printed in the authenticated volume of the session laws of the Territory at rages 159-177, which provides it's approval by the Congress of the United States"
 The gang that has misruled in Alaska these many years has been grasping at political
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01

rlicants for the place so far. Again it is pointed out that the council considers the applica- tions and acts upon them alone. That the major cannot compel it to reject or endorse any per- son for office and therefore this assertion is a gratituitions in suit to the members of the council in that it is an indirect charge that they are without any independence whatsoever. 1t is pointed out that the mayor votes only when there is a tic vote in council and has no voice in the matter outside of ruling on the questions before that body.
 Records
 It was pointed out to a group i'll civics class in school that MT. Dinner and MT. Locken were candidates for the office of mayor. That the present admin istration is going out of office with a world of accomplish ments to it's credit and $10,000 in the treasury. That when MT. Locken served as mayor he left Ctfice with a heavy deficit.
 We point out that the right place to teach civicS is in school but we cannot agree that the teaching shall be colored by prejudice or failure to present
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01

to regulate the Alaska fisheries?
 Tn principle it is all very well to talk of home rlle, of administering our own fisheries, or regu- latlng our own game resources, but let us be req 5onably certain that we can afford to do so It must be proved that the abuses under the exist ing system are unbearable, and that is a thing not apparent today.
 'Regardless of the capabilities of Alaskans to administer fisheries affair the plan is not ex- pedient; not, at least, until we have better de- roonstrated our ability to pay the cost"
 Just Cheap Talk
 In the past this newsprint of Ketchikan has talked of full territorial government along with other newsprints in Alaska. We have always challenged the sincerity of the urge of home rule and asserted that it was lot of political hokun1 to catch votes with. Now the Chronicle comes out and frankly says that Alaskans have not de- Elonstrated their ability to administer their own fsheres-that the urge for full territorial con- trol of fisheries was just political hot air.
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01
ALaskans Versus O'Molleyism

We assert that Alaskans cannot do worse - couldn't possibly do worse than has Henry O. Malley the past ten years Certainly Alaskans would not attempt to parcel out territorial waters and hand over huge reservations to be admins tered by the cannery interests which have in the past dictated the rules and regulations of the United States Department of Fisheries They would not drive out all private independent trap operators and resident seiners in order that the huge corporation traps might deliver catches of salmon without competition they would not tolerate the system of blackmaing decent citizens by arresting them on false pretenses,
 threatening to tie up their boats and fishing gear unless the plea of guilty were entered and fine of $4OO paid. They would not listen to the cor porate interests and continue the destruction of
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01
A Thousand Gases Of Salmon

We mind one summer when one of the large eanneries of Ketchikan packed over 1000 cases Of 5almon on the sixth of July. The fish were caught ln large trap owned by nonresident corpora lion which sent in the trap piling from Belling nam and hired Seattle crew to install the trap The fish were brought to the cannery by tugs operated by citizens of Seattle The fish were packed in cans by cheap imported Oriental labor who were under contract to receive their pay in Seattle
 Resident citizens of Ketchikan were walking around, heads hanging dejectedly, hands in empty pockets, taxes to pay, grocery and clothing bills

ence to retain their power. The absentee voting -aW aooVe titled is one means whereby they would retain that power It is a known fact that many electors leave the territory prior to general elec-
 lons and return about primary election time. Under the terms of the law many of these would pc able to swear in their votes and thereby negate the wish of the majority who remain in the terri tory throughout the year If this law is ratified oy congress 1t will be only matter of time when s1e cltlzens of the Territory will be confronted with crooked elections and tricks to it's hurt The measure has many vicious qualities and should not pass.
The Alaskan., 1932-04-01

the May, June and July runs of salmon while pro- tecting the late runs of salmon-which runs now go to waste for lack of spawning room. They would not tolerate the wanton waste and destruc- tion of the herring fisheries which in turn threatens to destroy the halibut and trolling industries
 Their policy of protecting the salmon runs = properly and fairly would insure operation of as many packing plants with ten thousand fisher men as against employing less than three thou sand. Which policy would not drive men of Ket- ch1kan before the City Council begging for oppor- tunity to earn sufficient to hold body and soul together and the City of Ketchikan would have been saved thousands of dollars this winter which they used to feed such fishermen.

Locken is elected. He has not objected to completion of the building and the surplus ill the treasury is still there.
 There is a balance of $135,000 in bonds due and payable in ten years. Aside from paying inter est there has been only $20,000 redeemed during the first tel year period On the twentieth year there will be one payment Of $75,000 to be met in lump sum. Preparation must be made immediately to meet that pay ment.
 Taxes
 The taxes on one residence in town were as follows; since

to pay. They only asked for opportunity to earn decent living but it was refused them-and the citizens of Ketchikan, those grocers and business men who make their living from the earnings of the fishermen had not the guts to stand up and condemn the system which was robbing the laboring men and themselves of opportunity to develop Alaska
 Mo- Ketchikan was too damnably busy calling Paul radical" Paul only wanted to get rid of the Seattle spirit from dominating the affairs of Alaska and giving birth to much needed Spirit of Alaska
