Alaska Asks U. S. High
Court for Fish Trap Ban
JUNEAU, UP)—Alaska has asked
the U. S. Supreme Court to affirm
a District Court judgment uphold
ing a state ban on the use of fish
traps.
The appeal was made in a brief
filed before the high court in
preparation for arguments next
Tuesday in the 1959 case involv
ing use of the gear by three
Southeastern Indian villages.
The brief, signed by Alaska
Atty. Gen. Ralph E. Moody and
three associate lawyers for the
state, asked the Supreme Court
“to finally lay to rest a contro
versy which by its nature con
tinues to grow with each passing
day.”
The case was brought before
the Supreme Court by the villages
of Angoon, Metlakatla and Kake,
after former District Judge Ray
mond Kelly of Juneau had ruled
last year against continued use of
traps in salmon fishing.
However, the three villages
were able to operate 11 traps dur
ing the 1959 season under a Sup
reme Court injunction issued
pending final decision on appeal.

Heralds Good News
For U.S. Taxpayer
PORTLAND — Friday, the 13th,
has its good side this year.
It makes the first day of 1960
that the average American citizen
can start calling his earnings his
own.
To explain — the earnings of
Mr. Average American up until
May 13th just about equal his an
nual local, state and federal tax
payments.
If his total 1960 tax bill was
withheld before his take-home
pay started, tax payments would
have taken all wages earned dur
ing the past four months and 13
days.
This is on authority of the Free
dom Foundation, which sanc
tions the National Tax Freedom
Holiday originated by a Florida
man in 1948.
If there is any ill omen, it is
that the holiday was first observed
on April 27th. During the past 12
years, the ever-increasing tax bur
den has added 16 days to the aver
age American’s tax-work debt.
