STAND BY KETCHIKAN
While others have been debating, Ketchikan has tak
en the only comprehensive steps looking to a readjust
ment of the fisheries situation to make it coincide with
the needs of Alaska as they relate to its industrial pop
ulation.
A grand jury, reporting to Judge Justin Harding,
after pointing out that more than 900 persons were as
sisted by Ketchikan u-lief agencies, recommended that
organized steps be taken to prevent recurrence of this
situation and looking to giving resident fishermen some
thing more akin to a fair deal in fish harvesting.
The grand jury recommended that all hearings by
the Bureau of Fisheries be conducted in Alaska before
regulations aie promulgated.
The fisheries situation is comparable with that of
other manufacturing industries in the nation. Its ad
ministration has been shaped by the philosophy that the
rank and file of people must be subordinate to large or
ganizations of capital and be content to accept that which
is accorded them, rot by a natural right, but as a sort of
philanthropy. It is the old Tory doctrine handed down
from the days of monarchy and nobility, and has no
place in American institutions.
The question offered is: Shall the public be further
subordinated to these powers which have dominated our
political system, or must someone yield for the benefit of
tne whole?
In this instance ail moral entities stand on the side
of those who have an equal right to share in the natural
resources of Alaska. Restriction or abolition of fishtraps
would not wrc'*k the big fishing industry, but the per
missi on "of this mass-harvesting to the exclusion of the
* man who has a family to feed not only wrecks homes, but
leaves a wake of hardship and suffering.
This must not be and the sooner Alaska presents a
unified front and demands justice which has been with
held under request, we may look for a continuation of
the distressing conditions now so glaring wherever one
cares to look.
Ketchikan should be backed by every individual in
Alaska while this crying issue is in the ascendancy. Those
who have been accustomed to yield to the blandishments
of the bic interests should have sufficient moral stamina
to turn o deaf ear and stand by their own people.
In this manne” relief may be obtained. It cannot be
obtained by leaving the subject solely to the politicians.
Nor is it fair to expect the Delegate to Congress to wage
a fight alone. ^
Even the Joshua was compelled to call to his aides
to hold up his hands. There is much food for thought in
the parable.
First it was sunbaths and cosmic rays, then carbo
hydrates, calcium and phosphorous. Now it’s strangle
tne kiddoes with cod-liver oil! So says the technocrat
pounding a typewriter in the Agricultural Department
bureau on kidclogy, bugology, biology, obstetrics among
chimpanzees and orangutangs! No wonder “nuts” are on
the increase.

The City team was again the
leader in the weekly three-corner
ed rifle match last night on the
Seward Rifle Club indoor range, in
the basement of The Palace, with
a total of 823.
The Firemen were right behind
with a total of 818 and the Legion
brought up the rear with 791.
The scores of the City team have
been dropping each week while the
Firemen and Legion have been
improving steadily.
The “Spark Chasers’’ say they
will shake the City bunch off the
top branch next Tuesday evening, j
and the snappy Legion boys say
“mebbyso and mebby not.”
At any rate the scores are closer
and next week may see an upset.
Valade was high man of the
shoot with 184 for the Firemen;
Horton shot 181 for the City, and
Murphy 179 for the Legion.
