The cost of Pinks and Reds

age of 17 pinks to one case so
I!
that the cost of the raw ma
terial is $1.36 per case. It
takes an average of 12 sockeye
to a case so that the raw ma
terial costs 96^ per case. In

Comparative Ability to Stand
More Tax
Red Salmon could stand a
tax of $4.50 per case before
their profits would be reduced
to that of the Pink Salmon
Packers.
We believe that the Red Sal
mon Packers should pay a tax
of $100 per case; that the tax
on Pinks should be placed at
5ff; that the tax on fish traps
should be on a catch basis,
graduating heavily at 100,000
to conserve fish; that a moder
ate tax should be place on non
resident gill netters this year
(we would consider $50 each
moderate); thait a tax of $50.
be placed on each non-resident
troller; that a tax of $2.50 be
placed on each non-resident
seiner And That All Other
Taxes be Abolished.
Let those who exercise a
monoply, pay for it.
