OH THE BALLOT in the October 12 election there will be a referendum on "the practice of fishing by means of trap*
should be continued or should be abolished." To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscelion an l would
permanently injure the Territory of Alaska.
WHAT ABOUT
PUGET SOUND?
• a. The conned salmon pack there was 2 Vi times larger
when traps were used to catch salmon
Don’t let die Puget Sound Myth fool you.
Here are the facts about Puget Sound and salmon traps:
Sports fishermen voted out traps on Puget Sound In 1934. During the 10-year
period before that, the canned salmon pack was 6,493,382 cases, or an average of
649,000 cases pet* year. For the 10 years after traps were abolished, the total pack
was 2,581,138 cases—or an average of only 258,000 cases per year! (Figures are
from Pacific Fisherman Annual for 1947).
So, you note that salmon canning on Puget Sound fell off to about 40 per cent
of what it was before traps were abolished! Do you call that good? For sportsmen,
maybe.
The Puget Sound country was a populous area of diversified industry for years
before traps were voted out. It could take such a blow to salmon canning in stride.
But in Alaska it’s different—salmon canning is the Territory’s largest industry.
Would it be good for you, for fishermen, for cannery workers, for business generally
to cripple this industry?
Look at the record and don’t be fooled by the Puget Sound Myth.
