()ne of the chief faults of human nature is to take for
granted the good things of life and to complain when things
go wrong. We are prone to accept the sunrise as our natural
right hut to fret il the sky, at dawn, is cloudy.
For that reason we are inclined to think it is about time
that one of Seward's best I riends got a vote of thanks—and
cool ideuce.

ALASKA NEEDS
TRAP
As resilient Alaskans, we know our economic future is
tied to the growth and development of the Territory.
A searching study of Alaska’s economy has con
vinced us that salmon traps must continue to oper
ate i.n Territorial fishing waters.
\\ e ourselves do not own canneries nor do we operate
fish traps. IJut our independent studies have con
vinced us that salmon trap fishing IS vital to Alas
ka's business future.
<1
1 Icre are our reasons for this conviction:
1. Off season trap labor provides Alas
ka with a $2,983,368 payroll!
T his payroll is exclusive of the fishing season and
includes every month of the year except whert
traps are in operation. Labor is required for cut
ting logs for trap frames and piling: building, re
pairing and lashing of trap frames: preparation
of the web, gear and netting; towing of traps to
their locations; setting anchors to hold them in
place: and finally, dismantling and storing the
traps at the close ot the season. Each floating trap
has a pavroll of $^,500. Each pile-driven trap has
a pavroll ol Sir).200.
o
Supplies and services for traps
means $3,618,500 more.
An additional $9,500 per trap is spent annually
for supplies and services of all types such as: re
pairs to tender and rigging scows used in trap op
erations; charters, including tenders and patrol
boats; diving work; cost of logs for replacement
of frames and piling, plus other miscellaneous
items entering into trap fishing.
3. Canneries depend on frap-caught
fish:
Trap-caught fish make it possible for Alaska’s
canneries to operate on the scale they now main
tain. During the season these canneries employ
20,000 people. More than half, or 10,000 of
those nn n and ivomcn arc residents of Alaska.
The cannery men say that without trap-caught
fish, at least 25 of Alaska's largest canneries will
close.
These facts, which are vital to every
Alaskan resident, make it necessary
that all Alaska residents vote on Oc
tober 12 to continue the use of trap
fishing.
