TAX THE FISHERIES.
Greediness has its own cure. It
never knows when to let well enough
alone and finally goes to such
lengths that the public becomes
aroused and remedial legislation fol
lows.
This holds true of the fishing in
terests of Alaska. The government
allowed packers to release salmon
fry every year in lieu of paying tax
es. Ail that is necessary under this
liberal act is for some official or
employe o* the packers to make an
unsupported affidavit that so many
fry are released. Needless to say
the affidavits are always forth com
ing, but seldom has there been any
thing for the government.
There is one instance which has
already made an impression on the
public mind. The Valdei Grand Jury
noted the fact in Its recommendations,
T" '8 Is the instance In which one ,
company paid the government 33 1
cents in taxes, the other $3.">,000 be- 1
lng represented by an affidavit.
If the packer's combine had adopt
ed a slightly different course, andj
paid a fair proportion of taxes for
the $10,000,000 't extract* from the
Alaska fishing grounds every year,
the injustice would be less glaring
and It would be more difficult to
secure proper legislation.
I; is se'dom, however, that selfish
private Interests will draw a safe
line. The more they secure the more
they want, and 't Is the business of
the government to see that they are
compelled to keep within bounds
and the people's interests safe-guard
ed. Every person interested in the
welfare of Alaska should use his in
fluence In getting his senator or
representatives from his home dlstrlc
to urge proper legislation against the
fishing interests of Alaska. Effective
work alt along the line will accomp
lish the desired result. ? Cordova

Queer Sort of Borrow.
Ho was displaying with much pride
a 6ilrer dollnr "pocket piece."
"One of my best friends," he said,
patting it fondly. "Have had it ten
years, and during that time have been
dead broke half a hundred times and
in actual need of food and a bed quite
often."
"What!" a listener exclaimed. "Keep
a dollar from sentiment and go hun
gry and sleepless?"
"I didn't say so," the other replied.
"I never went that far. You see,
when I'm so hard pressed 1 use the
coin us collateral. I borrow another
dollar and give this one as security?
to be held till called for. Queer sort
of borrow. Isn't it? Uut the coin's too
good a friend to desert."? New York
