♦’ Japs Fishing Bristol Bay
V Can Be Outlawed
^The opinion that established j
Jemational law denies the right
^ governments to extend their!
^risdiction for specific purposes
*r more than three miles from
«ieir coast, and so prevents the
«nitrol of fisheries beyond this
^stance does not accord with
^y sound view of state practice
of the nature of international!
Vv says Joseph Walter Bingham
^ofessor of law at Stanford Uni
<rsity in his recently released
♦port on the International Law
, Pacific Coastal Fisheries.
.Professor Bingham traces the
storical development of the
ree mile doctrine pointing out
at it is a policy developed and
•rsistently advocated by the
itish to further 'their commer
il, naval, and fishing interests,
le United States has also sno
rted this rule when local inter
ts have deemed it advantag
us. Japan and Germany also
ve used it to their own advan
ge, but smaller nations have
nerally opposed this rule.
Pointing up his theses that no
unilateral treaties are neces-1
ry to extend United State juris1
ction over the fishery of Bris- j
1 Bay or other coastil region,;
d that the declaration of a na- •
mal policy in this area can be
ade effective, Professor Bing-1
m says:
“To an unprejudiced student
history and of present world
'airs, it is abundantly apparent
) that there never has been
id is not Itoday any general
reement on the extent of terri
rial waters, (b) that no state1
er has applied consistently a
iiform limit for all purposes to
e zone of its coastal sea juris
ction, (c) ithat it always has
en the opinion of realistic ex
rts that if definite limits are
t to marginal seas jurisdiction
ose limits should be different
r different purposes, and (d)
that there is no legality of con
trol over coasrtal fisheries beyond
a three-mile zone of marginal
sea or other conceded territorial
area.”
He points out that the Bristol
Bay situation gives our govern
ment, particularly in cooperation
with Canada, a remarkable op
portunity for t-he development of
adequate principles of law re
garding valuable natural resourc
es which may be wasted by unre
strained exploitation. He suggests
that a just policy in such circum
stances is one which would
give justice to particular claims,
promote peace and order, and
provide beneficial use and con
servation. Obviously, the three
mile doctrine does not do any of
these things in the Bristol Bay
salmon situation.
After tracing the history of the
three mile limit doctrine, and
pointing out many instances in
which it has not been regarded
as a fast rule even by the British
government when the interests
of that country have been oppos
ed by the rule, Professor Bing
ham declares that the three mile
limit is not a matter of legal ob
ligation, but merely one of pol
icy. He states that our govern
ment may modify this doctrine
when it become important in fur
thering our interests to do so.
“If the exercise of government
al pow’er beyond the ithree mile
limit is necessary to protect those
fisheries against damage, the ex
ercise of that power should be
legitimate, just as a similar ex
ercise of power in protection of
the revenue laws or defense of
its neutral coast against belli
gerent activities or unlawful de
predations of other sorts is leg
itimate,” he declares.
“No state ever has abandoned
a claim as important and strong
as the American claim to contro1
of the Bristol Bay Salmon fishery
except under pressure of super
ior force."
THOSE THAT COT AWAY didn't bother these three
anglers from Papanul in Christchurch, New Zealand. In the early
hours of a Saturday morning they caught these 29 fish in six hours
and they aren’t complaining about their luck. But they didn't tell
the photographer where they'd made their catch, nor what bait
__they'd used in hooking the 29 speckled beauties.

Federal Income
!Tax Information
TACOMA, Jan. 5 (Special) —
More than 130.000 Federal in
come tax returns for the year
I 1938, the largest number since
I 1924, are being mailed to tax
payers in anticipation of the an
nual filing date of March 15th, it
was announced by Thor W. Hen
ricksen, Acting Collector of In
ternal Revenue.
| The 1938 forms being mailed
| individual taxpayers are similar
to the simplified report adopted
last year. The Revenue Act of
1938 now in effect maintains the
j normal rate of four percent for
individuals and a similar sched- j
i ule of surtaxes for persons of
larger incomes. The new forms
; provide for a determination of
net gain or loss from sale or ex
change of capital assets under
the nex percentages adopted un
der the Revenue Act of 1938.
The filing of duplicate forms is
again a requirement under the1
law and each taxpayer is furnish
ed the green duplicates necessary
to be filed and retained for his
own purposes.
The individual income tax re
turn, Form 1040, for net incomes
or more than $5,000.00 from sal
aries, wages, dividends, annuities
and incomes from other sources,
regardless of amounts, will be
folded at the tcp instead of the
side as in 1937 and previous
years. The Collector stated,
“This change was made as a ser
vice to the taxpaying public in
response to many requests that.
the form be folded in this man-;
ner to facilitate the typing of j
figures and the preparation ccp
iejThere is no Substantial i
change-in Form 1040-A designed
for reporting of net incomes of
less than $5,000.00 derived from
salaries, wages, dividends, in-1
terests and annuities.
The fiduciary and partnership
forms, 10 41 and 1085 respective
ly, have undergone extensive re
vision. These forms printed on
paper of similar color as previous
ly, have been reduced from
large single sheets to four-page
forms similar to the individual
return Form 1040. Two major
changes in contents involve the
capital gain schedule necessitat
ed by the Revenue Act of 1938,;
and the schedule on both forms!
has been broadened to facilitate
the computation by the fiduciary
or partnership of various types
of income flowing to respective
beneficiaries and partnership
members.
A new form, to be known as
1120-A, reduced to four pages,
will generally used by corpor
ations have total receipts during!
the taxable period of not more!
than $250,000.00 and net incomes
of not more than $15,000.00. The
now form adapted to the needs
of all rmaller corporations, is
greatly simplified to suit the
needs of corporations dung a
smaller volume of business The
old Form 1120 provided for the
use of corporations with total re
ccipts of $250,000.00 or more, and
with net incomes of more than
$25,000.00 has been revised in ac
cordance with the provisions of
the Revenue Act of 1938.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has advised the Collect
or that the Superintendent of
Documents of the Government
printing house will not offer 1938
income tax returns for sale as
was the case in 1937, and the Bur
eau of Internal Revenue is with
out authority to sell any of its
forms. Collectors are advised,
however, that they are permitted
to furnish information to tax
practitioners, banks, trust com
panies, and others when forms
are to be used for tax purposes.
The Commissioner has defined
“tax purposes” to include forms
reasonably required for work
sheets and permanent files.
Assess $1000
Penalty On
The M S Fern
JUNEAU, Jan. 18 (A')—The Fin
ance Committee returned the Ro
den bill, to the Senate, appro
priating $100,000 for relieving
distress of cooperative production
with the recommendation that it
not pass.
Bills for the return to Grace
Lowe of Livengood of $147 for
overpaid license, also the Roden
bill dealing with the incorporation
of villages into power utilities
were reported favorably upon.
Instructions from Secretary of
Commerce and Collector of Cus
toms Connors assesses a penalty
of $1000 against the Motorship
Fern now here, enroute to Seat
Jle for an overhaul, for carrying
passengers without a certificate
of inspection. Captain Peter
Wold appealed that the case was
an emergency but denies that the
Fern was recently ashore at
False Pass.
Many men plan the good things
they are going to do when they
get rich, but what their fellow
men need is a sympathetic under
standing now, which is within
the reach of even poor people.
