Kish Trap Tax
(ionstit ii tionali ty
Being Argued
JUNEAU, j/P)— A case testing
the constitutionality of the new
fish trap license law was taken
under advisement by district
judge George W. Folta Friday.
W. C. Arnold presented the ar
guments for P. E. Harris Co.,
white filed the original test case,
and the Mutual Trap Co.
He presented affidavits pur
porting to show the tax to be *‘ex.
eessive and unconstitutional.”
Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams
declared for the Territory that a
temporary injunction asked by the
companies would prevent legal
collection of many taxes, and sug
gested the companies pay first,
then sue for return of their money
if the legislation is declared in
valid.
Arnold replied that the terri
tory now is insolvent and there
would be no chance for recovery
of the money; that the Harris,
company had already paid $21,000 |
under previous legislation and I
that now the Territorial tax com
missioner asked for a further tax
of $63,000.
He argued that unless the taxes
were paid, confiscation of the pro
perty loomed, and therefore he |
wanted a temporary injunction
until a permanent injunction could
be asked.

Bureau Report
Would Conserve
Salmon Waste
—
• Continued from Page One'
tails, intestines and fish eggs, are
thrown into the sea. This waste
amounts to an estimated 120,000,
000 pounds annually.
“Part of the waste material
would be suitable for canning of
fish chowder, and much of the re
mainder for badly-needed fertil
izers for farm use. Dried meal is a
rich source of nitrogen and phos
phorus, two elements most essen
tial for growing Alaska crops.
“It has been estimated that
there are sufficient vitamin A
units in fish wasteage material to
supply one-tenth of the present
United States requirements, un i
enough vitamin D units to supply
one-twentieth.
“In addition, oil extracted from
this waste has considerable com
mercial value in manufacture of
paints and varnishes, tanning
processes, oilcloths and linoleum
and as a lubricating agency in the
cutting and cooling of metals.
t-xperiments indicate the waste,
when ground and frozen, makes an
excellent animal feed for fur
farms.
“Fish eggs—the roe of salmon.
, rock cod. gray cocl and herring—
now have little commercial value, i
These items would find a lucra
. tive caviar market in the eastern
| United States.
“Salmon roe makes an excellent
; caviar and although good reports
were received on the few ship
ments which have been made, this
| phase of the industry has never
been fully developed.
“Opportunity also exists in the j
| salmon egg field for preparation j
! of bait for sport fishermen.”
j “Trawling, just coming into
; prominence in the Pacific, may be
one of the major, if not the major,
fishing industry in Alaska waters
in the future,” he report said.
“The Bering Sea has been de
scribed as the largest trawlable
body of water in the world. The
; Gulf of Alaska has barely been
! touched.
"It has been estimated that one
billions pounds of fish per year j
could be trawled from the North
Pacific.”
Washington Crews
Take Regatta
MADISON. VVis., (&)—In what
their supporters hoped was an
omen for Poughkeepsie, the Uni- (
versity of Washington’s three
| crews swept the regatta with Wis
j consin here Friday.
The varsity race was the only
close one—and it was too close
for Coach A1 Ulbrickson’s peace,
of mind. The Huskies, the nation’s
defending champions at Pough
keepsie’s three-mile distance, fin- j
ished the approximately two miles j
a scant eight to 12 feet ahead of
the challenging Wisconsin shell.
The Washington varsity time!
was 9:35; Wisconsin’s 9:37.2.
Washington’s freshmen won in j
9:49, with Wisconsin 10 second
slower, The margin was from two
to tuwo and a half lenghts.
In the Junior Varsity race it was
a runaway for Washington. The
Husky Jayvee, which had rated as
the varsity crew for the week pre
ceding the races here, won by
seven* lengths in 10:03.
The principal magnetic poles of
the earth are about 1,200 miles
from the geographic poles.
