WICKERSHAM
ON WARPATH
FEARS MONOPOLY IN TRAP
SITES IN ALASKA
v Front Tacoma Daily News)
Delegate Wickersham is of the
opinion that a movement is on foot
to grab the salmon fisheries of
Alaska and that the effect of a
bill now pending before congress
v- ould be to facilitate efforts of
Chicago meat packers and allied
interests U> get possession of one
of the richest resources of the ter
ritory.
The fisheries of Alaska are
•vorth, conservatively speaking,
$409,000:000. and Wickersham be
lieves that if the meat packing in
terests sad affiliated capitalists
get through congress the bill that
has been started in the grind they
111 get the Alaskan fisheries
Represenatives Charles C- Carlin.
:■? Virginia. Introduced the bill on
the opening day of congress It
was referred to the "ays and means
committee. Wickersham’s first move
•will be to try to have the measure
referred to the committee on ter
ritories
Tbe^bill provides that "in lieu of
all other federal or territorial li
cense fees and taxes" every person
:r company engaged in fishing shall
pay certain stipulated nominal li
ense tees, including $100 per an
num for each fish-trap site, from
three to six cents a case of canned
salmon, a cording to the grade, and
other small charges.
Wickersham holds that this
language not only would make it
-•possible for the territory to tax
the fishing industry on large hold
tvs. including about $12,900,090
•vorth of shore property, canneries,
etc., bus that it probably would re
lieve the fishing interests of pay
ment of the federal corporation and
income taxes. The bill thus describ
es 3 fish-trap site:
Each fish-trap site shall consist
of a reserved area ir. the water, rec
tangular in form. The sdie (to be
determined by the locator! shall not
be more than 1.000 feet’one wav
nor more than 7.009 feet the other
way. A trap may be built any
where within the limits of such
area. Tits general course of the
trap shal1 be lengthwise of the
•rap she. Not more man one trap
or other fishing appliance may be
constructed or operated at the same
time within the limits of any rich
reserved area. There shall be clear
side spaces or passageways of Eot
ess than 2J5QO feet laterally be
tween trap sites and clear end
space- or passage-ways of not less
than 590 feet endwise between all
fish-trap sites and between all con
structed traps,
Wickersham has calculated that
under this language every fish-trap
ver 2~9 acres.
In other words, for a license fee of
a parity $liO the exclusive fishing
right to 2~9 acres is conveyed.
Another section of the bill reads:
From and after the location of
any such trap site and after the
approval thereof by the secretary !
of commerce the claimant thereof!
an* his heirs, executors, adminis
trat successors and assigns shall
have the exclusive right to occupy,
mair.tr is ar.d fish the same; to re
" license thereof year by year
•. r.... abandoned, forfeited or term
us ted through operation of law;
to mortgage, sell and transfer such
rights during such time as he or
they shall comply with the laws of
the United States pertaining there
to.
It asserted that this would en
able the meat trust to send locators ]
to take possession of the trap sites
or, if it did not tare to do that, it
could buy off other locators and se
cure a monopoly.
There are indications that the bill
will create as big a furore as
measures in preceding congreser,
• t. .h, it -.-as alleged, were design
ed to procure monopolistic control of
Alaskan coal deposits
