Those who deliberately commit
crime find no comfort in me. I
am asking that the officers of
' the Government quit a prac
I ice that amounts to blackmail
I and give American citizens a
| chance to go into a court au
thorized by Congress to try them
in every instance where the
; citizen so wishes.
Trial by Ordeal
’ The procedure which you ap
prove is like the ancient lest by
“ordeal” for the result is that
the accused always loses. There
was a time when a man who said
he was innocent had to prove
his innocence by plunging his
arm into boiling oil and if his
arm was burned, he was guilty.
Here you say that even where
one of your agents finds me fish
ing in an area that another of
your agents has declared is legal
fishing area, still I must plead
guilty, pay a fine of $250 or else
have my boat seized, myself
arrested, and both tried in a
court three hundred miles away
and incur an expense of at
east $1000 besides losing my en
tire earning season for the year,
to escape the brand of a crimi
nal. Either way I lose, and yet
. you defend such a practice on
> the ground of “efficiency.”
! In the Morri: on case, he be
| came a victim because of the
i different views of the law by
| vour own officers,
i Rut I wish to point out an
| other case and see if I cannot
\ make you see the injustice of
; vour position and the practice
i which you approve because you
1 get more “convictions” that way.
Maxfield Dalton Case
An Indian crew of fishermen,
| on August 27, 1928, (Monday
i morning) there being some con
: fusion as to the time because the
: canneries were using Seattle
| time and the fisheries officers
; were using Standard time, went
| to your agent and asked him
I what time it was. He said “Go
; | to hell” and other worse things,
! ’ and fish by your own time.”
Your agent repeated this to the
: second crew that asked him the
! time (he was out rowing among
| the fishing boats that morning).
: The first crew, noting that their
time indicated 6:20 AM, cast
; their net; the second crew did
; likewise. A third crew, seeing
I! that two boats had talked to
: your agent and then begun fish
ing. cast their net also.
Your agent thereupon placed
all three boats under arrest foi
fishing before six o'clock Mon
day morning. Then your other
agents, N. O. Haidy (since pro
: moted by your d* oartment) and
Capt. O’Connor, still considered
by you to be faithful upholder
of the constitution, told each of
i these crews that unless each
plead guilty, and paid a fine of
$400, their boats would be tow
ed to Juneau 300 miles away and
confiscated.

| go before the justice court (as
i the law provides) and have
I their guilt determined at once,
i But your agents would not per
imit this because you want con
victions and not justice. As a
result, the men plead guilty so
that they could go back to work
to make enough money to sup- !
port their wives and children.
Dne of the men hod nine child-j
len. His share of the fine took
all his profits for the season but
about $5.00.
And yet, Mr. Morgan, these
men were so anxious to obey the
law that before casting their
nets each one asked the agent
tor the correct time.
I talked to Mr. Hardy about
his case and Mr. Hardy said
your agent acted properly. Mr.
Hardy said he had placed the
natter before Dennis Winn, next
to Mr. 0‘Malley in authority in
Alaska, and that Mr. Winn said
the agent had acted properly.
I say the agent acted impro
rerly, and that your agents have
no right to blackmail these In
dians into pleading guilty under
the circumstances or suffer a
heavier penalty in proving their
| innocence,
j Justin W. Harding
Acts Unlawfully
Because I protest against this
practice and asked the District
-curt to review the proceedings,
Judge Harding sought to throw
me into jail via contempt pro
ceedings. I escaped by appealing
to our Circuit Court which court
'■ensured Judge Harding for his
unlawful acts.
The thing that I ask for was
in the mind of Congress when j
it gave Justice Courts jurisdic-j
lion. But you have reversed the
practice and your department.
J first blackmails the poor victim!
(into agreeing to plead guilty
i even when innocent and only j
then do you use the Justice)
Court, not to try the accused,!
but to fasten the brand of cri
minality on him when he may
be Innocent.
It was only by the greatest
effort that I persuaded another
victim to stand trial even in the
District Court. The result of this
lase (thS Kotor case) was that
the district attorney lowered his
offer of an $800 fine to $400 and
finally dismissed the case re
turning the boat which had
been seized and also $295.00 fish
money. .. j
I still believe that Govern- J
rnent officers such as you should j
consider our petitions on their
merits instead of constituting
themselves defenders of bad
practices and nu)lifters of acts
of Congress.
Very truly yours,

The failure of the salmon run
in the Westward will have an
adverse effect on Territorial re
venues for the coming year.
Normally the Territory can ex
pect to collect around $175,000 in
taxes from the red and king
salmon pack of Bristol Bay,
which is the largest source of
red salmon in Alaska. It is now
estimated that the total pack
of that district will not exceed
350,000 cases of all varieties, of
which 300,000 will be reds and

Mingle in selfish strife; lo! Free

Wrong rules the land, and wait
