HEARINGS ON THE
ALEXANDER BILL
The following is a verbatim report
of that portion of the hearings before
the house committee on territories
having under consideration the Alex
ander fisheries bill, which discloses the
activities of Mr. Thurman, solicitor
for the department of commerce:
Mr. Wickersham. I want to call
your attention to the repeal of the
acts of the legislature—
Mr. Thurman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Not to their re
peal, but to their disapproval.
Mr. Thurman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Those acts were
passed by the legislature of the terri
tory of Alaska?
Mr. Thurman. I think so: yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Approved by the
governor of the territory of Alaska ?
Mr. Thurman. I understand so;
j yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. And until disap
i proved by congress they are the law
of Alaska?
Mr. Thurman. I understand so;
yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Provided, of
course, they are within the organic
power given by congress ?
Mr. Thurman. That is correct.
Mr. Wickersham. In the prepara
tion of your biH, I understand, you
provided that congress shall disap
prove those acts?
Mr. Thurman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Without any sav
ing clause; is that correct?
Mr. Thurman. I think so. The bill
speaks for itself.
Mr. Wickersham. Why did you not
put in a saving clause, saving the tax
es that are now due from these peo
ple?
Mr. Thurman. I think—possibly I
did not think about it one way or the
other, Mr. Wickersham. That phase
of it had not occurred to me; we
thought this law simply should be
disapproved.
Mr. Wickersham. Do you know how
much is due from the fisheries of the
territory under the laws that now ex
ist?
Mr. Thurman. I do not.
Mr. Wickersham. You have no
idea ?
Mr. Thurman. No, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Have not these
gentlemen informed you anything
about it?
Mr. Thurman. No, sir; I do not
think they ever said a word to me
about it.
Mr. Wickersham. You do not know,
then, what it amounts to.
i Mr. Thurman. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Wickersham. Then tell the co:n
' mittee what, in your judgment, well'd
be the effect of the disapproval of
those acts, without any saving clause,
upon the taxes that are now due.
Mr. Thurman. I think the taxes
would be wiped out.
Mr. Wickersham. If they amounted
to $250,000 or $300,000, it would be a
very serious matter to the territory,
would it not?
Mr. Thurman. I am not prepared to
answer that, sir; I do not know.
Mr. Wickersham. Before you did
this did you consult the governor of
Alaska—Gov. Strong—or the attor
ney-general of Alaska?
Mr. Thurman. No sir. I have told
you, I do not know how many times,
i I wrote that bill under the direction of
the secretary of commerce.
Mr. Wickersham. Without paying
any attention to the governor of Alas
ka, the attorney-general or anyone
else?
Mr. Thurman. That is true; yes,
sir.
Mr. Dowell. Or as to what effect it
would have?
Mr. Thurman. That is true. It was
written not with the idea of the taxes
at all; it was written to do away with
this double control which the depart
ment felt should not be there and
which it felt it was its duty to call to
the attention of congress.
Mr. Wickersham. You realized the
government of the United States was
not going to lose anything by the pay
ment of this tax didn’t you?
Mr. Thurman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. You knew nobody
was going to lose anything except
these gentlemen my friend Britton
over here represents; is that right?
Mr. Thurman. That is true, if that
; is the result of the tax.
Mr. Wickersham. You do not know
whether they paid any double taxes or
not?
Mr. Thurman. I do not know, sir.
Mr. Wickersham. Why didn’t you
find out?
Mr. Thurman. Because, Mr. Wick
ersham, I was not interested in that
phase of it; I was not representing the
packers, and I had no interest in it in
any way, shape or form. This was
done, as I keep telling you, growing
out of the report of the secretary of
commerce, discovering u condition
which he thought ought not to exist.
