RUSTGARD FOR 0‘MALLE*
Continued From Page 2
-x
sands of small king salmon, her
ring, cod and other fish are tak
en in fish traps and those not
large enough for canning are
used for reduction or thrown
overboard. But Mr. O’Malley’s
policy, endorsed by Mr. Rustgard
compels the fishermen to con
serve the fisheries—but shuts
his eyes to the wanton waste and
destruction by the trap system.
Another reason that Mr.
O’Malley gives for this discrim
inatory regulation, endorsed by
Mr. Rustgard, is that the supply
of king salmon on the Columbia
River is becoming depleted. To
protect Oregon fishermen the re
gulation discriminating against
Alaska trollers is made—and it
has the support of Mr. Rustgard.
“* * * (I) intend to do all in
my power to secure legislation as
will leave the fisheries of Alaska
open to bona fide residents of
the Territory wherever that is
practical and where by such pol
icy, the settlement of the Terri
tory can be materially stimulat
ed” Is a vague though high
sounding statement. While at
tempting to follow a plank advo
cated by the Progressive Repub
licans, Mr. Rustgard qualifies
his statement by catering to the
canning corporations of the
Bristol Bay and other Westward
districts and at the same time
placate the canners and fishe
men of the First Division.
Controdicting this statement
was his speech, gratuitously
made, before the 1927 Legisla
ture wherein he opposed the
graduated tax on trap caught
salmon. A speech which had
the effect of defeating the bill.
His reason, at that time for his
position, being that ‘‘the action
of the legislature might have an
adverse effect upon a case for
the Territory he had pending be
fore the Supreme Court.
The Leasing Bill
..“I also believe that owners of
fish traps and trap sites should
be protected in such ownership
against ALL interference except
by the Government, and to that
end .should .receive leases for
their trap sites for a fixed period
subject always to revocation and ;
whatever rules .and regulations j
the government may see fit to
impose.”.
This is the same idea incor
porated in a proposed bill written
by Judge Wickersham at the in
stances of the Packers; present
ed to William Paul for his legal
opinion and support. After re
moval of certain objectionable
features he endorsed it for which
he was castigated by the Empire
and crucified by the fishermen.
The leasehold bill does not have
the support of this publication..
The Alaska Fisherman or the
Alaska Native Brotherhood. The
candidates supported by these
organizations are opposed to the
leasehold bill and are for abso
lute abolishment of the fish trap.
The rank and file of fishermen
and electorate are opposed to
further protection of a system
that has become a special privi
lege by the acts of O’Malley en
dorsed by Mr. Rustgard.
Inquiries have been received
concerning the following per
sons:
Charles McCodick Daniels,
about 51 years of age; 5 feet 7
or 8 inches tall; ruddy complex
ion; fox-like eyes; sloping

43 years of age now; 5 feet 2 or
3 inches tall; coal black hair;
dark complexion; scar on fore
head between eyelashes.
Fred Irving, about 45 years of
age now; auburn hair; 5 feet 10
inches tall; was cook for some
government surveyors but later
was doing some prospecting.
