IF THE PEOPLE WOULD FORGET
-o
If the people would forget Grigs
by’s record when he was our Dele
gate to Congress, he would get
more votes.
When the discriminatory clause
in the Jones Marine Act was slip
ped over, George Grigsby was in
California.
That clause is costing our mer
chants and the people of Alaska
over FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
EACH YEAR by increased freight.
That clause prevents Ketchikan
from becoming the jobbing center
of Southeastern Alaska.
Why?
Because that clause compels Al
askans to ship everything FROM
SEATTLE, in this, \i permit",
ment on Canadian lines SOUTH to
Seattle, but prohibits shipment on
the same lines NORTH to Alaska.
If it were not for this “fortu
nate” absence of Grigsby, Ketchi
kan would today have the same
terminal rates as Seattle because
we are closer to Prince Rupert
that Seattle is to Vancouver.
WE CHARGE THIS
We charge that whenever an im
portant measure comes up to Con
gress which is in direct conflict
with the interests of Alaska, while
Grigsby will fight against it ffor
the record) when the important
moment comes, HE WILL BE I'l
CALIFORNIA as he was in the
case of the Jones Marine Act.

“It will be eight payments on

A CORRECTION
-o
In August last we stated the
practice of the large canneries in
southeastern Alaska. The foreign
ers got the same price for their
salmon PLUS run money amount
ing to over two thousand dollars.
In the year 1927, the record for
the Excursion Inlet cannery was
this—$80,000 for trap fish, $14,000
to foreign seine boats and $4,000
to local seine boats.
The $94,000 goes to pay the mer
chants of Seattle. The $4,000 went
to the merchants of Alaska.
