WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION7
Says the Seattle Star: “A lunging, roaring mountain
>f fle^h and fur—a shot—and a huge Alaskan brown
3ear lies at the feet of Jimmie Chakos, 22-year-old Seat
:le boy. Then Jimmy brings the skin of the animal back
from the snowy northern wastes to Seattle and trades
t fora University of Washington medical education!”
Either Jimmy or the Star, is lying for sake of a hum
m interest story or the University of Washington ac
cepts “tainted" compensation from a criminal for educa
ion. Or maybe the laws imposed by the Alaska Game
Jommiscion are discriminatory or unconstitutional be
•ause it is ciass legislation.
It is against the Game Commission’s law to kill
mown bear for commercial purposes. Any man in Alas
ka who. after his cache has been cleaned out, or his life
mdangered by a brown bear, and who after killing the
tnimal offers the celt for sale is subject to a fine of $200
md the judge may impose a jail sentence.
Why then should Jimmy Chakos be allowed to c:»m
nercialize these pelts merely because he seeks a Univer
sity edcucation?
So much for this lorg-range bureaucratic regulation.
\nd so much for the reason why Congress is nowT en
gaged in trying to balance a budget and at the same
;ime keep all of the bureaucrats in linen and fine rai
nent; two automobiles in every bureaucratic garage,
ind a palatial yacht to enable them to keep tap on the
‘criminal” Alaskans.
It remains to be seen if the Alaska Legislature will
lave the courage to carry out party platform pledges to
lave the control of fur and game turned over to the
Territory for administration.
Under such administration Jimmy Chakos and his
lk would come under the same regulations as a resident
>f the Territory, or pay a tax large enough to make him
msitate about marketing brown bear pelts.
Yet Chakos is within the law' as it now stands. It
ie paid a non-resident hunting license, takes the pelt le
gally there is no law to stop a man from disposing cf a
hing he has legally required.
But it is different when an Alaskan prospector, ccm
Jying with the law, disposes of a brown bear skin.
As disclosures proceed in Congress it looks as if
'ap tip will be compelled to be satisfied with public ene
ly No. 18. 2

C00 at his disposal for mining op
erations this coming summer.
It developes that the backers of
the enterprise had a mining en

summer, working under cover to
ascertain the possibilities of the
mine. It is announced that he re
ports the property one of the best
free-milling prospects he has seen
in Alaska
