RAH) ON THE TREASURY
“They shall not pass” said the
“pay-triotic” press of Alaska with
its “independent” party and as part
of their political ammunition they
tried to raise a race scare and ani
mosity between the Pioneers and
the Indians. They emphatically de
clared that the Indians were plan
ning a raid on the Territorial trea
sury by demanding old .ago and
mothers’ pensions.
Those who have looked into the
law understand full well that if it
is discriminatory, it is class legisla
tion and therefore unconstitution
al. The last legislature when told
that it must make the law Consti
tutional sent the law hack to Com
mittee which made the law so read
chat “anyone being a beneficiary of
funds dispursed by the Bureau of
Education, shall not be a benefici
ary” under the law. Still an at
tempt to discriminate against the
Indian.
A case now in point: Mrs. Anna
Aiidreanoff, crippled in the body
and arm by the shots of the Japan
ese who murdered her daughter
without cause, has herself and two
litt’e sons to support. For a long
time her husband has been an in
valid and she attempted to support
him also. It was a pitiful sight to
watch her try to hold shrimp in her
crippled hand and try to shell suffi
cient to feed and clothe herself and
family. The average picker earns
about $12. and she is way below
the average picker, yet she has
gamely and courageously gone on
with her efforts without a whimper
c: asking any odds of any man.
Do the Pioneers want to see this
woman, even though she be an In
dian woman, despised by such fine
upstanding, pay-triotic gentlemen
as'Messrs. Troy, White and Morris
sey, suffer for want of a little aid
from the treasury so freely given
other women? Ask them! Not
one have we found unwilling to see
the Territorial treasury funds dis
bursed asneeded.
We can point to women pioneers,
whose pioneering was not in moth
ering potential citizens, and with
is no thought of refusing them aid <
Just, because they wore the Scarlet <
Better. <
We wonder what the Territorial ]
Board will do about this case. So ’
so far they have refused to do any J
thing for her and have left it to \
the indigent fund under control of \
the District Court.
We have a lot faith in the spirit
of fair play in the hearts of the
American citizen if he is allowed
to use his own will. There is no
doubt in our mind as to what the
wish of the Pioneers will be when
they think of this widow of a Pio
neer and her children. But there
is a further question in our mind
as to whether or not the American
ism of the “powers that be” will
be as big as the Pioneers in their
well-wishes for this bereaved fami
ly.

‘‘BENEFICIAL LEGISLATION”
A report recently published by
the Honorable Henry O’Malley, U.r
S. Commissioner of Fisheries, states
that legislation and regulations
set forth by the Department of
Commerce was “beneficial” and
according to Secretary of Commerce
last summer in the increase of j
salmon due to escapement of seed
fish to spawning grounds two years
ago.”
Let us examine and analyze this
alleged beneficial legislationj. At j
Faglo Creek on North Prince of
Wales Island. In '24 the “dead
line” for seiners was established
out from the creek five hundred
>ards and on both sides a little j
more than that distance. The north i
boundary took in the Frazer trap.]
j Before the summer was over the
line was moved back so that this
trap was permitted to get even
closer to the creek but the fisher
men were not permitted to within
three hundred feet of the trap.
The lakes in Lake Bay wert
closed to fishermen but at the en
trance two traps were permitted
to operate.
At Whale Passage dead lines
were set one thousand yards from
t'ery salmon stream; but at Point
Barnes near the entrance, two large
traps were permitted to operate
and theerby did more damage than
did all the seiners.
At Saginaw Bay all seining oper
ations were discontinued by the
closing of the bay; this year the
dead line was moved down a thou
sand yards to permit a trap to get
more salmon than all seiners in pre
'ious years.
i A little above Tee Harbor the
! head line was drawn but so that
only the fishermen suffered by the
regulations.
W(, could go on and enlarge on
this “beneficial regulation” stuff,
but with these facts set forth we
do not need to enlarge on the mat
ter any further to show who are
the* “beneficiaries.”:
The Honorable Henry O’Malley
cannot fool practical fishermen who
know just who is bearing the full
1 loitd of conservation. ,
We know the influence behind
the appointment of O’Malley, there
fore are not one whit surprised
that he makes report that the re
gulations are beneficial—for the
irap owner.
