Making Investigation of
Herring Fisherie
George Rounsefell, Junior
Aquatic Biologist connected
with the Bureau of Fisheries is
in the Chatham Straits section
studying herring of southaast
Alaska. He will spend the sum
mer gathering information re
lative to history of the herring,
whether local or otherwise, the
age of the fat herring and any
other information he can gather
regarding the species.
Last year Mr. Rounsel threw
a bombshell into the camp of
the tory cannerymen when he
set forth statements verifying
contentions of Alaskans that
the herring fishery was being
destroyed.
..MENACING THE COLLEGE..
Alaskans should find a way tc

national treasury. The action
of the late Senate in holding up
the college appropriation until
the last hours of the session in
order to force action by the
house on pending legislation de
sired by the senate majority
suggests the lengths to which
bloc action can be carried and
should serve as a warning to
guard the college against such
tactics in the future, to the ex
tent, at least, of providing a
stated maintenance allowance
free from inuuence of other le
gislation.
The Times does not believe it
was the intention of the late
senate majority to permit the
session to adjourn without ap
proval of the college appropria
tion. It is more pleasant to
think tiie action was merely a
bluff to frighten the house
members into action and that
the college bill would have been
passed even if the house had
refused to come to the senate
terms on other measures; but
that sort of maneuvering is
not good for the college or for

Arthur B r i sb a n e, Hearst’s
high salaried philosopher does
not know the Dunns, Dimonds,
Murrays and Fosters of our
Alaska legislature but he surely
does know their kind. Our sy
cophantic salons who insist on
maintaining one to rule over
them who is in no way respons
ible to them for his action
should read this comment on
kings and subjects by Brisbane:
King George has returned to
his favorite residence, Windsor
Castle, with years of life prom
ised by doctors.
Loyal subjects turned out to
cheer their King.
Newspapers print his picture
headed, “Long to Reign Over
Us.’
The idea that men do not
want to be ruled is a mistake.
To be ruled is exactly what they
DO want, and to be freed from
responsibility of self-rule.
It is painful for a dog to
walk on its hind legs, painful
for human beings to rule them
selves and think for themselves,
the territory and it should not
be tolerated by the voters. There
may come a time when there
will be a senate or a house that
will not stop at bluffing.—An
