“* * *A11 will agree that the
practical termination of can
nery expansion and the abolish
ment of fishing in streams and
near their mouths have had a
salutatory effect.” Johnny Troy,
the Scientific Fisherman of
Juneau.
The vaporings of ignoramuses
such as Johnny Walker governs
the fisheries of Alaska and
only to the hurt of residents
who are trying to make their
homes in the Territory.
The real benefit accruing from
Henry O’Malley edicts, is the
depriving of residents of their
earning powers. When this pope
of Alaska’s fisheries decrees that
Saginaw Bay shall be closed
commercial fishing from certain
designated points last year and
drives out a Petersburg Packing
Company trap and all resident
seiners, then opens up the same
area a mile further in this year
to permit another corporation
to put in its trap, we challenge
the honesty of O’Malley’s mo
tive.
Certainly it is not conserva
tion of salmon for he rescinds
the conservation idea when he
permits the trap this year. Oh,
yes, Henry is honest in his con
trol of the fisheries—honest, we
say in kicking out Alakans and
honest in handing a resource
belonging to the people.
He is certainly working for a
“sense of security” from the
competition of seines when he
issues his papal bull forbidding
seining operations on one side
of certain channels on the West
Coast of Prince of Wales Island,
while he permits the traps to
operate unrestricted on the
other side of the same channel.
Oh yes, Henry is honest in his
administration of Alaska’s fish
eries—for the canning trust.

“We believe that there is none
in Alaska who would have the
situation back where it was be

lieve Mr. O’Malley is the right
man in the right place.”—Vam
pire.
Now, now Johnny, if you got
out of your narrow Juneau rut
and travelled among men who
really know something about the
fisheries, you would never say
“Crisco” Henry was the right
man in the right place. Even
the vote in the past several
elections show what Mr. Aver
age Alaskan thinks of “Crisco”
O’Malley.
There are some who even
challenge his honesty of purpose
in his regulation of the fisher
ies and there are some who ev
en talk of gummy money and its
power to influence impecunious
officials.
YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS
-o
Certain newspaper morons are
given to praising the spending
bower of canneries in the Terri
tory. They cannot see the value
of the local spending power—the
nickels and dimes every day as
compared to the occasional dol
lar of the canning combine.
Soon the second fishing—sein
ing—season will be on and soon
will become but a memory. Then
Mr. Business man will have a
chance to see his “best custom
er” in action. Watch the doors
and see Mr. Fisherman with a
few dollars going in to get his
^uirements before returning
mie. The individual fisher -
an with his family does more
keep Mr. Businessman going
an do the canneries. From
smetics to silk stockings, the
>hermen spend their money
r their requirements twelve
onths in the year. The migra
>ry cannery hand comes in as
) the migratory trapmen, buy a
irtoon of cigarettes, a couple
lir of socks and a clean collar
ad then go to Seattle to spend
\e balance of their earnings to
uild up Seattle
Mr. Businessman, are you
elping your customers to get a
etter earning power? or are
au lulling yourself and business
) sleep with the idea that some
ay a millenium will come when
ae canners and trap men will
our wealth into your stores?
IS QUITE A KIDDER

LOGICAL MAIL CENTER
-x
,Juneau Chamber of Commer
is making great effort throu£
the postal department to ha
Juneau as center of mail disti
bution for the Chatham Strai
section It has the Sitka-Ska
way service and the Chicagc
and Frederick Sound service
this time.
The logical mail center f
Chatham Straits mail distrib
tion is Petersburg. It is close
and is not handicapped by ti
Taku winds which hold up evi
the large passenger steame:
A regular mail service out of P
tersburg to Chatham Straits c
fices will mean a more regul
and dependable service to t:
points to be served. As servi
to that section is the keynote
I the mail contracts, consider
tion should be given at this tir
to the claims of Petersburg.
Petersburg has been the fee
er town of Juneau and Ketcl
kan long enough. It is time tb
it stepped out and got some
these contracts for itself and ]
Ketchikan and Juneau rustle
bit for themselves from th<
own areas.

MR. CLAPP TAKES THE
STAND
The National Electric Light
Association held its annual
gathering at Atlantic City, re
cently.
It is the chief propaganda
agency of the power interests,;
and its efforts to corrupt schools
and colleges, muzzle the news
papers, deceive the women’s
clubs, and cover the land with a
web of fakery to protect the
swollen profits of an overfat
industry have been proved again
and again before the Federal
Trade Commission.
Paul S. Clapp, managing di
rector of the association, said
that the average American fam
ily had used 459 kilowatt hours
of current during the past year,
and paid an average of $30.10
for the same.
This works out at a little more
. than 6.5 cents per k.w.h. for do
mestic use. Probably Mr. Clapp
is crowding the figures. The a
. | erage during the previous yeai
Jwas 7.4 cents per k.w.h., anc
Ljone doubts such rapid reduc
, tions.
j But take it as it stands, as s
7 measure of what “private enter
prise” gets out of the Americar
a householder.
On the same day that thi;
c statement was made, LABOR re
s ceived a copy of the annual re
port of the Ontario Hydro-Elec
I trie Commission, the publL
t ownership organization whicl
e dominates the field in that grea
Canadian province.
On page 357 of that report, wi
hat in the same municipalities
served by ‘‘Hydro,” 86.8 per cent
r.f the current used for domes- j
tic purposes costs the consum
( r 1.9 cents per k.w.h., or less;!
1.2.1 per cent costs from 2 cents!
to 3.9 cents; 1 per cent costs j
from 4 cents to G.9 cents; anrl j
only one-tenth of 1 per cent,
costs 7 cents or marc per k.w.h. j
So according to Mr. Clapp’s
own showing, nine-tenths of the
domestic consumers of Ontario
get their current at less than
one-tliird the average rate in
the United States, and only
about one Ontario customer in
i
1.000 pays more than the Am
erican average
It is fair to say that the av
erage for domestic use in On
tario is less than 2 cents per k.
w.h. Therefore Canadians pay
$9.13 for the 459 kilowatt hours ,
for which Americans pay $30.10.
Multiply that by the total
number of families and you will
■ ee why the Trust can afford to
spend millions to “educate” vic
tims.
The difference on the two
sides of the Canadian boundary
is the difference between ex
ploitation and service.
Efficiency of private enter
prise puts money in the pock
ets of the Trust; the efficiency
of public ownership leaves mon
ey in the pockets of the consum- |
er.
