Here's why YOU Should VOTE+o CONTINUE
 TRAPS:

l. Traps mean jobs just for i5 days but for six to nine months for approximately 1000 people. mostly Alaskans.
 2. Traps are the best means of conserving Aaska's salmon.
 3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory would have to levy additional taxes all other Alaska businesses and individuals. 4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow neries to operate efficiently. Without traps, ai least ? large cannerics would close down because they would be stripped of their de- pendable supply of salmon-thousands of men would lose their jobs.
 5. Traps are vital to Alaska's economy. Conhscate them and you undermine the Territory's sta- bility. An unstable region cannot develop diversified economy.
 6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fishermen na1inlun prices. Conhscate traps and you cut down these earnings Nobody gains-everyone loses.
 '. Traps are vital in maintaining U. s. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con- fscate them and you so weaken America $ posi-. tion that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing US. built floating canneres to seize this prize in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated, in 1887, by their operations in Bristol Bay, that such floating canneres constitute a real threat.
 8. Traps represent large investments in venture capital Confscate them and you discourage other industries from investing in Alaskas future.
 g. Traps provide healthy competition. Confscate them and you establish gear monopoly in the catching of salmon.
 10. Traps, seines and gill nets ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska's canned salmon pack. Vary- ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps.

Trap Operators Pay to Insure Future
Salmon Runs

Alaska salmon canners each year give Sl75.OOO to the Fisheries Research Insti- tute of the University of Washington to pay for studies of the Alaska salmon. The purpose of such studies is to in- sure salmon runs forever. The industry realizes that its future depends on these salmon runs. Alaska's future also de- bends on these salmon runs.
 Don't vote to confiscate traps and cripple the industry that is helping in- sure Alaska's future.

Mississippi Votes
Strong For States
Rights Ticket

In their heavy balloting Tuesday,
Nov. 2, Mississippians broke two
records that have stood for several
decades. One, they gave an out
standing large vote to Gov J. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina for
president and Gov Fielding L.
Wright of Mississippi for vice-pres-
ident, who were not the nominees
of the established National Dem
ocratic convention Second, the es-
timated 10000 votes cast was prob
ably the largest number ever cast
in Mississippi in presidential cleo
ton.
Late Wednesday afternoon, with
LIT of the states LIPS precincts
reported, the Thurmond- Wright
electors held lead of 1922 to A.
096 for the Truman-Barkley group.
The Independent Republicans had
only $500 for Dewey and Warren
while the Regular Republican ticket
counted 1,764 for these candidates.
AT that time only 416 ballots had
been counted for the Communist
supported Wallace-Taylor ticket
Senator j. o. Eastland and 18th
District Congressman John Bell
Williams were elected without op-
position.
The proposed constitutional a.
mendment for annual sessions of
the state legislature obtained 25,583
votes to 66,301 against, heralding
almost certain defeat for the pro-
posal.
The proposed amendment to re-
quire Mississippi voters to be of
good moral character also was well
on the way to defeat, with 70,473
votes cast against it, to 25,786 favor
able.

Rev. Comic
Expected To
Appeal Case

In the Chancery Court of the
First Judicial District of Kinds
County, Mississippi, No. $3.50, O.
B. Cobbins, complainant VS.. M. R
Comic, defendant, the following
opinion of the court has been re-
leased:
The subject-matter of the suit is
Ecclesiastical Office, property, and
revenue. The Bill charges q u.s.
urpation of these incidents and asks
for such relief as may be required
for justice between the parties, ac-
cording to the rules of Church gov
eminent and agreeable to the laws
of the land.
Sufficient cause for action is al
legged, and the evidence on issue is:
Cd The nature of the Ecclesiastical
body, and % Its governing laws,
and Cd The acts and proceedings
complained of with reference to
those laws.
The validity of the Chicago Con-
vention and its operations is the
controlling question in the case.
The revised Manual of 1945, and
the rules therein promulgated, is
the real measure of status and
rights of the parties in the organi-
alton which they purpose to rep
resent.
All bodies with selected and au-
thoritative leadership among a free
people, whether social, religious, po-
ltcal, or fratelnais must have mat1
tiers relating to and affecting their
organic existence decided at de-
finite and periodic times, or go to
pieces whenever occasion for oppos-
ition or usurpation intervenes.
The minutes ul4a .4aaoly indi
cate that Cobbins was duly elected
and ordained as a Bishop, and the
Manual prescribes the method, and
provides the means, for removing
such officials, when in due course
it is advisable to do SO.
1t is manifest however that the
system was side-stepped in the
movement against Cobbins when
Jones, after his retirement, sought
to supersede his successors and
them removed upon recommends
ton rather than through the mode
required in the orderly administra-
ton of Church govt.
Decree for Complainant may pro-
vide that he officiate as a Bishop
over the Diocese to which he was
elected but that matters of discov-
cry and accounting be deferred un-
til after the next regular National
Convention when Cobbins will be
recognized finally, or removed in
manner an dform Of Church prac-
tee and Church law. Ordered.
DECREE
This cause coming on for hearing
