ON THE BALLOT in 'lie Oof 12th election there will he a referendum on "die practice of fishing hv men. of traps should
be continued or . . . should be abolished.-’ To abolish traps, ue believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently
injure the Territory of Alaska.
I ps \
aimon Runs
Alaska salmon eanners each year give
§175.000 to the Fisheries Research Insti
tute of the i niversity of \\ ashington to
pay for studies of the Alaska salmon.
The purpose of such studies is to in
sure salmon runs forever. The industry
realizes that its future depends on these
salmon runs. Alaska’s future also de
pends on these salmon runs.
Don’t vote to confiscate traps and
cripple the industry that is helping in
sure Alaska’s future.
VOTE TO
CONTINUE TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS:
1. Trap= mean jobs not ju-t fnr !”> days but for
six to nine months for approximately IJQOO
people,'mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
Alaska's salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
would have to levy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses and individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. Without traps,
at least 2-J large canneries would close down
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men
would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate
them and you undermine the Territory’s sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop a
diversified economy.
6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it possible for packers to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down these earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone loses.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America’s posi
tion that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing
U.S. built floating canneries, to seize this prize
in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated,
in 1937, by their operations in Bristol Bay,
that such floating canneries constitute a real
threat.
8. Traps represent large investments in venture
capital. Confiscate them and you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska’s
future.
9- Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in the
catching of salmon.
10. Traps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE
TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Vary
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
