place of the bureaucrats. In
direct denial of Donnelly’s state
ment is the record of the Sen
ate as compared to the House.
The Senate worked for the peo
ple of the Territory—the House
worked for the perpetuation of
thefederal bureaucratic machine
favored the big mines and can
ning interests. Opposed fair
workmen’s compensation and re
fused to equalize fishing laws
relative to alien fishing.
No amount of explaining can
square the record of the House
for the “interests and plunder
bund” as compared to the record
of the Senate which stood
squarely on its platform of ef
fort for the people.

of 1,500 per cent in the former

Messrs. Buschmann and Bez
pointed out that the increased
seiners’ tax would fall largely on
the herring packing industry,
