for a person to contribute to the

I believe the system that can
tax a cannery corporation $90,
090 altho its books show an
operating loss of $130,000 and
and only tax the Kennecott
Mine $68,000 on a NET PROFIT
of $4,500,000 IS WRONG.
Our resident fishermen CAN
NOT fish in Washington. Why
permit outsiders to come and
fish in Alaska until they first be
come residents.
I am a candidate for the
House of Representatives and

THE ALEXANDER BILL
The people of Alaska need ex
pect no help from Grigsby in
matters relating to fisheries le
gislation. The worst law ever
proposed for management of the
fisheries was the Alexander Fish
Bill, sponsored by the Wilson
administration. Under it the
canneries would have had title
to their trapsites and to the
waters wherein their traps stood
and it would have been unlawful
to fish WITHIN ONE MILE OF
THE TRAP. It further curtailed
the powers of the legislature to
tax any part of the cannery
business in Alaska. This nefari
ous bill was defeated by the skill
and ingenuity of Delegate Wick
ersham. By parliamentary tac
tics the Judge talked the bill off
the floor of the House of Repre
sentatives and killed it till it
could raise its head no more.
Until George Grigsby and his
sponsors who oppose any legis
lating of the trap system out of
existence show that they will
not try to cut our throats, the
economic throat of the fisher
men and resident business men,
they need expect no votes from
the electors, no matter how bad
ly we are or may be treated by
the Republicans.

HE WAS DELEGATE
IN CONGRESS
George Grigsby was Delegate
in Congress when the Jones’
Marine Act was passed by which
Alaska is made the goat. That
law permits the use of Canadian
lines and boats FROM Chicago
to Vancouver South to Seattle,
but PROHIBITS the same goods
in the same ship NORTH to
Alaska.
