PAUL DISCUSSES. TRAP SITUATION.
Concern Is Felt Among Cannerymen, Says Local
 Attorney, After Meeting

"The fish trap abolition efforts of Delegate Anthony J. Dimond coupled with the passing of Wash ington States Initiative Number IT, which abolished the fish traps in Washington, is causing real con- cern among cannery men who op- crate in Alaska" William Paul, said today upon his return from a business trip from Seattle on the Yukon.
 In addition to the representation which MT. Paul said the larger canners had in Washington, the Independent Can Tn CTS Association met last week and voted to send Karl Theile, owner of the Diamond K Packing Company, of Wrangell, former Secretary of the Territory, to Washington, D. C., to represent them on the trap question.
 Trap Eliminations Estimated The Bureau of Fisheries, accord- ing to MT. Paul, estimates that 35 trap eliminations will be made for the coming season, and that no new locations will be opened or any transfers in location granted. Cannery men claim, MT Paul said, that they can't stand the elimina- ton of any traps. Sufficient can neries will be permitted to operate in the Bristol Bay area to take care of the local labor, Mir. Paul was told by the Seattle office of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 Although the conditions are not entirely comparable, the effect on the salmon business in the State of Washington, through the elim- ination of traps will offer Alaskan fishing interests an opportunity to learn to degree the effect of trap elimination on the industry" MT. Paul said
 New Buying Method
 For long time have thought that the present method of pur- chasing seine fish at stated price per fish was not satisfactory. After talking with cannerymen who lost money on this years pack, am more convinced than ever that the more equitable method would be on pound basis. Frequently a canner will figure IT salmon to the case in estimating his costs, and at the end of the season find out that a considerable part of his pack took B or 24 fish to the case, and as a result he has lost money. Through buying on an equitable pound basis he would know in advance what his case cost of fish would be-"
 MT. Paul said that he did not agree with J. R. Heckman of Ket- chikan, who recently suggested that one-third of the present traps be eliminated to insure improved con- ditions for the seiners and at the same time protect the salmon can ming industry, he believed that not more than ten per cent should be elimh1sted at the start with en- largemsn1 of authorized seining areas and the continued exclusion of large size seining boats.

POWER LEADERS
FAIL PUBLIC,
SAYS MANLY

BOSTON, March 9 U.N.SJ.
The power question has become a
national issue. because it directly
concerns every American house
hold and every American business,
Basil Manly, vice chairman of the
Federal Power Commission, told
the City Club of Boston today.
He declared the leaders of the
power industry have failed to dis
charge the public trust which had
been reposed in them. He said:
"They had an almost unre-
stricted opportunity to serve the
public and build up a sound,
well-managed industrial struc-
ture. But, with rare exceptions,
they have been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.
"FOr many years before the
crash of 1929, the utility mag
mates were sitting on top Of the
world. Their friends were en-
trenched in the seats of the
mighty at Washington.
"They we're free from any
effective regulation by State or
by the Federal Government.
Their stocks and bonds have
been built up into an unstable
pyramid, whose sole foundation
was operating company profit.
But, in spite of the insecurity
Of this financial structure, their
securities continued to sell at
fantastic prices, because of the
belief Of investors in the hon.
eSty and integrity of the leaders
Of this great public service
industry"

The public depends upon &C

money is properly accounted for
and expended, and to fix just

New Deal has produced spirit

apart to see what makes the

they must examine the records
of what has been done, and &C
counting records have assumed a
new significance in the public

The Government uses account

there is no phase of the recov

There is no legislation in the

would have such parks closed as was
