THE O’MALLEY WAY
-x
When U. S. Commissioner of
Fisheries, Henry O’Malley con
siders any changes in the Alaska
fisheries regulations he advises
the canners that a meeting will
be held in Seattle or San Fran
cisco. Through the packers me
diums the fishermen learn of the
proposed hearings The packers
have plenty of money to travel
to such hearings while the fish
erman, without money and with
out organization looks on and
wishes that he could be present
at these “hearings” to present
his suggestions for the good of
the industry.
Fight at this point we charge
that did a fisherman present
himself at the “banquet hear
ing” paid for by the packers, he
would find it impossible to even
get a look at the viands and
wines and champagnes which
weigh down the table.
A hearing on fisheries regula
tions, insofar as the Secretary
of Commerce is concerned, is for
the entire industry. And our
honorable commissioner in his
reports advises the department
that he called a meeting in Se
attle on a certain date and the
fishermen did not appear or care
to appear.
Recently O’Malley passed thru
Ketchikan on his way south. He
expressed a willingness to meet
the fishermen—but they were
not there and being busy fishing
for the remaining season could
not be there. Had O’Malley ad
vised that on the 10th of Sep
tember we guarantee that five
hundred fishermen would be pre
sent with their suggestions.
Under the Fisheries Bureaus of
Oregon and Washington, every
opportunity is given ALL inter
ests to be given a hearing FOR
THE GOOD OF THE INDUSTRY.
“Norman will arrange for the
public hearing and general no
j4ice will be given in advance
through the newspapers.”
j The state way of ariving at the
proper regulation of the indus-1
try is the democratic way. The
O’Malley method is the method
of a power crazy gutocrat.

THESE DEFILE ALASKA
-x
Was arrested in Wrangell last
week one Albert Dubke, charg
ed with criminal assault upon
his young Indian stepdaughter.1
There is no “alleged” assault as
competent evidence is at hand
to give this moron his just dues,
if such is possible. The girl just
like any other decent girl had
ambitions and desires which he
should have furthered. But in
stead, he made every effort to
thwart her plan to get away
from him. Such physical de
generates pollute the clean Alas
ka air. For such we advocate
a short rope with a hangman’s
noose for a necktie.
CHRONICLE ISSUES WARNING
-x
“There is a strict law against
anyone spearing or shooting sal
mon in spawning streams. Ow
ing to reports that thoughtless
persons have needlessly killed
salmon for sport in Ketchikan
creek, the officials desire to
warn all persons against such
practices.”
The law says that fishing for
commercial purposes is prohib
ited ir\, all streams except with
hook, rod, line or spear, Provid
ed that the section shall not
effect fishing for personal use
or for dog feed.
It is not our understanding of
this law that even a seine is pro
hibited when fishing for private
use and not for commercial pur
poses. The specific exception is
orovided by law to insure suf
flicient food for residents and
for their dogs.
The bark of dogs do become a
nuisance every once in awhile.
They should be muzzled or given
something to quiet them for all
time.
WHAT A FOOL QUESTION
Is the fisherman a tax payer
in Alaska? Is the native fish
erman a tax payer in Peters
burg?
A storekeeper was speaking of
taxes “he was paying.”
Said the fisherman, “I don’t
own any real property.” “Are
you a tax payer?” was the reply.
“Well, I ate breakfast in the
Grand Cafe and dinner in the
Alaska Cafe today. I guess the
owners realize I helped to pay
some taxes. I bought a package
of cigarettes awhile ago. I be
lieve the United States and its
states and territories get some
money from it. I pay for a room
in one of the rooming houses
and I guess a part of the rent
goes for taxes. I bought a shirt
from The Men’s Shop, a pair of
shoes from Goodman’s, under
wear from ;the Trading Union,
a suit of clothes in another
store, groceries from still anoth
jer, cashed my check at the
bank. I spent over $200 in Pe
tersburg. I guess a lot of that
will go into taxes..”
“Now, if we all quit trading
with you “tax payers” how much
taxes would you pay?” There
was no reply
-x
WHAT DID THEY LEAVE?
-—x
Four seine boats from Ana
cortes—30 men—were paid off
S75,000 for their summer’s fish
ing in Icy Straits. They will in
vest their earnings in Anacor
tes. They outfitted and supplied
in Anacortes—except for a lit
tle tobacco and cigarettes.
What do they leave in Alaska?
What benefit do Alaska business
men derive from these migratory
birds which feed off the terri
tory and leave nothing to build
up for the future.
The merchants had a bill in
legislature which was passed to
stop itinerant peddlers from do
ing business in the Territory.
| The same situation exists with
foreign fishermen coming into
the Territory taking jobs away
from fishermen who spend all of
their earnings in Alaska. Will
the merchants get back of a bill
to put a $250 per man tax on
30 men who will take $175,000
out of the Territory? We will
see if they will.
CAN YOU FEATURE THAT
Geoge B. Grigsby, democratic
nominee for Delegate to Con
gress is going to have as a plank
in his political platform—The
abolishment of fish traps. Can
you feature that?
Since when has the Juneau
Empire come out in opposition
to the fish trap or taken any is
sue with Czzar O’Malley? And
can you picture Johnny Troy
and “Piggy” Pegues supporting
the policy of trap abolishment?
And Grigsby looks to the Em
pire as a publicity medium for
opposition to the traps? Just
how sincere is Grigsby in his in
tention to abolish traps? Does it
mean that the “Democrats” are
coming out in opposition to the
present administration? Will
jthey have any influence in such
legislation. Consistency is a
jewel and no one has ever ac
cused Johnny Walker, Piggy Pe
gues or George Grigsby with be
ing consistent on the fisheries
question.
Watch that platform and the (
men who make it, remembering
their past records.
OFF AGIN, ON AGIN, BY GIN
-X
On th 17th of August, Mr. H. ^
O’Malley ordered the closing of
the Bristol Bay area “for the
balance of the year.” Another
regulation published by Mr. H.
O’Malley says that area is open
to commercial fishing after the
6th of August.
