Sanitary MarRet
closed period provided for by this ]
act or regulations made there- a
under. h
This original clause now ex- <
isting in the acts of 1924 and ]
1926 was intended to place an (
embargo against the resident (
fishermen of Alaska from catch- <
ing salmon of any variety with i
a trolling hook and line beyond
the 3-mile limit and bringing <
them into Alaska to be mild j
cured or sold to the cold-storage 1
plants for icing and transporta- 1
tion to market without canning.
It was, probably, the first effort
in the history of any civilized '
nation to prevent its people .
from fishing for a living offshore
in the great ocean opposite to
their homes. It was also intended <
to destroy the Alaska trollers l
unions along the coasts of Alas- '
ka, and thereby drive all the ]
salmon into the nets and traps :
belonging to the Bristol Bay and I
other big monopoly corporations. <
Section 2 of this bill is intend- ]
ed to accomplish even greater <
injury to American fishermen in
Alaska than the clause in the
act of 1924. Its purpose, as shown
cn its face, is intended—
X. To prevent Alaskan or other
American trollers from catching
salmon by trolling hook and line
beyond the 3-mile limit off the
shores of Alaska for sale to the j
Alaska cold-storage plants or for
mild curing.
2. To prevent such American;
fishermen from taking salmon'
by trolling hook and line or
other gear, 3 miles off the shores1
of Alaska, and transporting them !
in American vessels to Washing
ton, Oregon, or California.
3. To limit this embargo to the
south line of Alaska “north of 54
degrees and 40 minutes north |
atitude,” thus making Alaska a
ipecial reservation by a law
vhich will not apply to the fish
eries in the Pacific Ocean op -
posite the States of Washington,
Oregon, and California, or to the
Canadian Province of British
Columbia, lying between Alaska
md the State of Washington.
4. To close the ocean fishing
)pposite the shores of Alaska to
\merican fishermen but to leave
hem wide open to British Co
umbia-Canadian fishermen.
(To be concluded next week.)
New Bill of Rights
In the United States we have
iemocracy (in theory, at least)
'or everybody but the Americans,
rhe Indians, the only group
■eally entitled to that name, are
is everyone knows presumed to
je incapable of managing their
)wn affairs, and are therefore
nade wards of the federal gov
ernment. The hardships, injus
:ices and oftentimes the down
right cruelties which they suffer
have many times been set forth
and need not be repeated here.
Mow at last several bills have
been introduced in Congress
which hold out some hope for an
amelioration of present condi
tions, by freeing the Indians
largely from governmental con
trol. In the House a bill proposes
the incorporation of the Kla
math tribe, the corporation thus
formed being empowered to
carry on all important tribal
business. If this experiment
should be adopted, and should
prove successful, it will be fol
lowed in the case of other tribes
as well. In the Senate two bills
(S3668 and S3717) have been
introduced tot the restoration Of
the old tribal councils by which
the Indians Managed their af
fairs, and with considerable
success, for many centuries be
fore the white man came. These
tribal councils would have a
considerable degree of control
over the Indians’ funds. They
would conduct the other busi
ness cf the tribe. Perhaps most
important of all, they would set
up a machinery through which,
upon petition of a majority of
the members of a tribe, any gov
ernment official in charge of
their welfare could be removed
from office. These bills, in our
judgement, thoroughly deserve
to pass. The principle which
holds good in the education of
cur children is also true of the
Indians: that we learn to be
responsible by having responsi
bility thrust upon us.

Bureaus Assailed

A bipartisan commission of
the Senate and House, to investi
gate and report by December on
the “unconstitutional usurpa
tion of powers” by government
bureaus, was proposed by Re
presentative Beck, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, in the House
recently.
A former solicitor general and
known for his writings and lec
tures on the constitution, Beck
astonished the membership by
his assertion that three-fourths
of the activities of the depart
ment of agriculture are illegal.
Invalid Acts
The department of commerce
also is “honeycombed” with in
valid activities, he said. Over the
agriculture department build
ings, he added, should be hung
this sign:
“Sacred to the memory of the
dead constitution of the Unit
ed States.”
America is rapidly approach
ing a socialistic government of
almost unlimited power, he said,
pleading for restoration of gov
ernment “to the original chan
nels as conceived by its fathers.”
Beck poked fun at the mat
ernity bureau and other govern
mental activities such as those
giving advice on “How to Hang
Curtains.” He said:
“My own belief is that the
unmarried ladies who run the
maternity bureau can’t tell the
American mother anything.”—

Sell Farms for Tav
Hammers of sheriffs in near
ly every county in Mississippi
fell on auction blocks, beating
out news that approximately 25
per cent of the state’s privately
owned property was under sale
for delinquent taxes. The figure
exceeded any year in the state’s
history.
Reports show 39,699 farms, or
16.2 per cent of the agricultural
acreage of the state went or.
the block, while 12 per cent of
the city property was forfeited
for nonpayment of 1931 taxes.
Since the state already pos
sesses from 15,000 to 40,000 for
feited acres in each country
Commissioner Moore estimated
that if the present lands revert
to the staj;e it will have more
than one-fourth of its property
off the tax rolls.

The War Is Over
Linn county, Oregon, employes
will receive from 20 to 25 per
cent lower wages, starting May 1,
it was decided by the Linn
county court. The court adopted

common laborers and a maxi
mum of $5.60 a day for mechan
ics and for horse and team driv
er. No over-time will be allowed.
An eight-hour day will be en
forced.
Pood costs are down propor
tionately with wages in the web

This Was Non Hawaii
-x
During the past few months
the press of the United States
has been stressing racial animosi
ties in the Hawaiian Islands and
in the Americas by picturing the
brute savagery of the Islanders.
The mixed polyglot of the is
lands was laid as the reason for
the alleged many assaults upon
women of the Island. It would
appear that the seat of all crime
and assaults upon womankind
was in the Islands. No other
conclusion can be drawn. But!
In a recent issue of a Seattle
paper we read on the front page
that “Five Men Attack Girl; Vic
tim Is Near Death,” Los Angeles;
“Man Accused of Molesting Two
Children,” in Seattle, “Seattle
Dentist Convicted of Matricide;”
“Youth Convicted of Second De
gree Murder” in which the lad
had murdered his mother. Al
most any metropolitan paper has
account of vicious attacks and
assaults upon girls and women.
All of this in the United States
the land of liberty and freedom,
civilization and culture. Forget
about the Hawaiians and start
cleaning up the muck and gar
bage of our own back yards.

JOE DEXTER FRETS FOR
OPEN SPACES OF
ALASKAN HOME
-X
After testing the sweets cf
civilization in a month’s visit,
his first trip “outside” in thirty
three years, Joe Dexter is rush
ing back to Alaska, his lonely
lonely trading post at Golovin,
his native wife and family, and
the rigors of the Northland.
Dexter is in Seattle after re
turning from the East where he
visited relatives. And he can
hardly wait for steamer day to
start his voyage north.
Modern Business Man
But if you’re picturing him as
the traditional “sourdough” ol
fiction, you’ll be agreeably sur
prised to see him as a small
clean-shaven business-man type
in well-cut gray suit, English
oxfords and a wrist watch. And
he uses an airplane for his
Golovin-Nome business trips.
The only touch of the Nortn
iand is a nugget pin in his
cravat.
Dexter has decided views or
the educational problem of the
natives.
“What the natives need,” he
asserts, “are more hospitals and
less schools. More practical
training and less impractical
training.
Practical Training Needed
“When they are graduated, the
boys know how to run a lathe
but what they need to know is
how to build a kyak to earn
their living and to travel. The
girls can take dictation in
shorthand, but that sort of train
ing doesn’t help them when they
get out of school, go home and
need a new parka or a pair of
mukluks What do they do? Well
they send to a mail order house
in the states for their clothing.
“Alaska needs development
but when Senator Peanuts oj
Congressman Walnuts come
north, all they see is Southeast
ern Alaska—which has the best
of everything, while farther
north the Indian is threatened
with extinction unless the gov
ernment can provide less book
learning and more medical at
tention.”
Mr. Dexter recently visited hi.c
son and family in Klawock. The
younger Dexter is entering the
retail grocery business in Kla
wock. 1
