ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on “the practice of fishing by means of traps should
be continued or . . . should be abolished.’’ To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently
injure the Territory of Alaska.
MORE TAXES [
t
I
Since 1913, the salmon industry has paid
$20,700,000 in taxes to the Territory of
Alaska. This is 55 per cent of all taxes
collected. Traps, which provide half of
all salmon, contributed heavily to this
tax burden through trap licenses, tax on
excess trap catch, per case tax on fish
caught in traps, Alaska sales tax on fish
packed from traps and Territorial in
come tax.
►
, If traps are confiscated, where is the
lost tax revenue going to come from?
The answer is simple: Alaska resi
dents are going to have to dig down in
their pockets and pay more taxes. That’s
why you serve your own interest when
you vote to keep traps. ,
VOTE TO
CONTINUE TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS:
1. Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but (or
six to nine months for approximately 4.000
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 25 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 arc 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.
