SEWARD PENINSULA URGED TO UNITE IN
PROTESTING ATTEMPTED FISHERIES STEAL
According to information received
by the Chamber of Commerce, the bill
to deprive the territory of the power
to tax the Alaskan fisheries will meet
with determined opposition from the
various civic bodies and the people of
the southeastern sections.
Every Chamber of Commerce of the
territory is preparing to put up a
strong fight to prevent the fisheries
from getting away with their attempt
ed steal through te tip of the de
partment of commerce, bureau of fish
eries. It is not believed down there that
the bill depriving the territory of the
fisheries taxes w ill pass but the Nome
chamber and the people of this sec
Ion are urged to leave no stone un
urued to defeat the measure
■
As the matter te one that concerns
practically every one In the territory,
t should not remain neglected by tlm
•eople of this section. As has already
>een told In the columns of the Nugget,
he success of the fish trust endeavor
;o deprive the territory of the right
o tax the salmon fisheries means
uothlng less than that the cltlsens of
Vlaska will be forced to pay an In
creased taxation In order to provide
in adequate revenue for the malnten
lece of the territorial government. It
s therefore Imperative that the people
•f this section unite with the chamber
*
of commerce In lending their aid to tho
prevention of thie attempt to deprive
the people of Alaska of their Just rights
and further increase their taxation
burdens.
Several suggestions have been re
ceived as to the best method to be
pursued, including one that the people
of Seward peninsula write and wire
to members of congress vigorously
protesting against the passage of the
exemption bill. The chamber of com
merce will, of course, take action, but
■a hat Is most needed is the protest of
the people upon whom falls the burden
of supporting the territorial govern
ment. The matter Is one of vital In
terest to the people of this section and
all persons having acquaintance with
any member of congress, or other In
fluential persons, are urged to write
Immediately protesting the passage of
the bill. Similar action will be taken
by people In all parts of the territory
and the various chambers of commerce
will also unite to the same end. In I
this manner alone can be prevented
this most Iniquitous attempt to steal
away the rights and privileges of the
people of Alaska
