ANNOUNCED BY SEC. WILBUK
Continued from Page 12
-x—
to increase the facilities for the
care and development of the In
dian for a short period of time,
with the general plan in mind of
eliminating the Indian Bureau
within a period of say 25 years.
“No new appointments should
be made in the Indian Bureau
except in following out the above
program.
“Insofar as it is possible, gen
eral legislation and general ap
propriations from Congress shall
be sought rather than specific
legislation for specific Indian
groups or to solve individual In
dian questions.
“A survey shall be made ol all
existing lav/s with which the In
dian question is involved, so that
proper laws can be drawn re
scinding former actions which
are no longer necessary, and an
adequate legislative program de
veloped for the future.”—Interi
or Department Memorandum for
the Press.

The number of pinks averaged
from thirteen to seventeen to
the case; chums six; cohoes, 6;
sockeye, 8..
With the number of salmon per
case known and prices paid it is
quite plain how long it will take
a fisherman to become a million
aire. Adding $2.50 for cost of
boxes, tin, transportation, in
surance and production labor, it
is also plain why the canners
are able to bask in sunny Calif
ornia and tour the country—
all at the expense of resident
fishermen and business men.
Yet, when resident fisherman
ask for the simple right to earn
a cultural wage, he is called a
‘ radical,” “bolshivik,” political
schemer, and a lot of harder
names not permissible in the
mails.
