INOPPORTUNE
George Grigsby, Democratic candidate for Delegate
11 Congress, is wondering why his opponent is so con
cerned about fish and so forgetful of mines. He refers
to the fact that his Republican antagonist bemoans the
tax on the fishing industry, and to offset this “gross in
justice” would raise the tax on the mining industry.
It seems that the fishermen are taxed on the basis
of “catch” and the miners on the basis of profits. It fur
ther seems that the Kennecott Copper Corp., has paid in
big sums as a tithe of their profits, their copper product
ion having been the biggest single mining, item in the
Territory for several years.
’ The Republican candidate would raise the tax on
them in order to satisfy his solicitous regard for the
“poor fishermen” forgetful of the fact that if the tax on
copper bo raised it must be raised on the production of
all other metals.
Grigsby takes the stand that this would be unwise
v \ since millions have just been spent in Alas
ka to try and harvest gold, and even if these new oper
ators are not taxed at all, it will take them ten years to
get back their original investment. In other words any
furr> v tax on ndninp- would strangle the revival of the
mining fndustiy in Alaska just a’borning.

it largely in their own hands to make this city what
they will.
