the British Columbia invest
ment is the safest and best
then we wonder just why all
this hulabaloo about putting
Sutherland out of business.
Just be reasonable—Mr. Can
neryman and present seme ar
gument more substantial than
to shout Bolshevik etc. every
time Sutherland’s name is men
tioned.
Dan Sutherland has been
presenting his views on the
fisheries to Alaskan audiences
for some years and we have
yet to hear a single cannery
man or sockeye attorney dis
pute the soundness of his posi
tion on this question The
Hoovers and the O’Malleys
and the Gilberts always reply
to Sutherland by howling about
conserving the fisheries but
have never yet attempted to
get right down to discussion
of the rights of all fishermen.
They do not want to consider
human rights in their arrogant
administration of the fisheries
nor do the cannerymen care
to discuss the British Columbia
fishing method as long as they
can hold their monopolistic
privileges.
JUDGE RITCHIE PASSES
THE PIE
Anchorage, Dec. 30.—District
Judge Elmer E. Ritchie of the
Third Division, removed Arthur
G. Thompson as United States
commissioner at this place be
cause. as he said:
“I think official patronage
ought to be passed around. I
have numberous friends I wtrnld
like to do something for, but
the hardest part of parcelling
out patronage is choosing be
tween friends.
“I was glad of the opportun
ity to appoint you last year,
and I am glad I did so. I
think you made a good |9Ri'
missioner and your work has
been entirely satisfactory.”
Judge Ritchie appointed Tom
Price to succeed Thompson, to
take office January 1, and said
“because he has been a friend
of mine many years and needs
the office as much as anybody
I would care to appoint. It
is about the only opportunity
I may have to give him a tes
timonial of my friendship.”
It Pays to Advertise in The
Alaska Fisherman.
