Following is a copy of the infam
ous Alexander fish bill, which haa
caused so much trouble among the
fishermen of southeastern Alaska.
The bill go:s into detail in establish
ing federal control of the Alaskan
fishing bus.ness, designating the li
censes which arc to be paid for all
canneries and appliances used and
the tax to be paid on fish canned,
smoked and salted.
The most noticeable provision of the
bill is one of the last, which prohibits I
territorial legislation of all kinds re- ,
garding the fishing industry in Alaska. !
This provision is most drastic, pro- !
hibitlng the territory from imposing'
any license fee or tax upon the busi
ness or upon the property, real or per
sonal used in the fishing business, and
revoking all acts passed by territorial
legislatures previously.
The license fee provided is, for each
canning, mild curing,salting, smoking,
fish freezing, whaling or other fish
dealing establishment, $5 per year.
For each pound net $50, for each fish
wheel $25, except small wheels on the
Yukon and Copper rivers, which will
be $2.00 each; for each purse seine,
$25; for each beam trawl or othe r
trawl net, $10; g 11 net boat and equip
ment, $2.00; stake not, $2.00; set net,
$1.00; 300 foot beach seine, $3.00; for
each additional 500 feet, $5.00; each
other fishing appliance for taking
food fish or shell fish, $1.00.
The tax on output is red salrmn,
o cents per c;i3e; medium red salmon,
0 cents; light salmon, 4 cenls; all
other food fish or shell fish, 4 cents;
mild cure, $1.00 per tierce; pickled
salmon 20 cents per barrel; salt sal
mon, in bulk, 5 cents per hundred;
.■ rlmon and trout frozen or otho" v ®e
preserved, $1.00 per ton; whale or f'jh
oil, 10 cents per barrel; fertilizer, 50
< mts per ton; salt cod, 50 cents per
bn; pickled herring 10 cents per bar- ,
t'd; salt herring, 25 cents per ton;
11 other fish products 25 cents per
ton.
The money thus collected is to be
distributed : s follows: Two thirds of
the lax to go to the territory in the
. tanner provided by the act creating
the Alaskan fund, except that such
lees collected within incorporated
towns are to be turned over to the
towns. The other one third to be
placed in an Alaska fisheries fund and
hold subject to appropriation by con
gress for development, preservation,
conservation and administration of
Alaska fisheries and the maintenance
of hatcheries.
Congressman Alexander, who Intro
duced the bill, Is from Missouri, and
has probably merely acted on request
of the secretary of commerce, the bill
coinciding with claims made by that
official.
