TAKE FISHERIES OUT OF POLITICS
It will be a happy day for Alaska when the fisheries
question is no longer a political football, and some com
prehensive step will be taken to lift the entire matter
from its present thraldom and place it in a position where
those who are earnestly endeavoring to shape a correct
course will be able to accomplish their work unhampered
by the deterrents which have intruded for a number of
years.
While it may be justly claimed that in times past too
little attention was given to conserving a natural resource
while turning it to profit, and it sometimes happened that
a resource was depleted through ill-advised rapacity, with
every man endeavoring to exact the greatest measure of
profit, that day has passed and with it has come a keener
perspective with respect to ultimate results.
It would be as logical for a stockgrower to dispose of
his entire herd each year instead of retaining his breed
ers as it would for those engaged in the fisheries business
to wantonly destroy the source of their industry. And
it is not being intentionally done.
Until a survey is made by a competent body to deter
mine the question of change in the method of taking sal
mon from the waters of Alaska, and the compilation of
facts calculated to serve as a guide, and the publication of
these facts so that all may understand, the fisheries ques
tion will remain obscure, and will continue to be a contro
versial subject.
Mere academic discussions will get nowhere, and in
the meantime each and everyone will continue to inter
pret the question according to his own theoretical ideas,
with the politician coddling it as an expedient with which
to inflame the public mind in furtherance of his own ends.
Opponents of the large traps maintain that other
methods of capture are feasible, yet there is no compre
hensive data to substantiate the fact and make out a
case. The canneries maintain that the large trap is the
only method available. Hence these conflicting opinions.
While there is a lull in the storm it might serve a good
purpose if the Fisheries Bureau and a committee from
the Alaska Legislature made a survey of the waters of
Southwestern Alaska and secure facts upon which the en
tire matter may be composed without injury to the can
ning industry or the rights of the public.
When business rivalries, with their attendant enr
broglios, arrive at a point where the general weaLis in
volved, it is time for the injection of impartial inquiry
with a view to composing the controversy and accord jus
tice to both parties while protecting the public interest.

Will sell the timber and land or

million feet of timber on the land of

two strong line-ups are to face each
