ANC HORAGE, ALASKA. SATURDAY, SEPT. !». !!>!<;.
CIRCULATING MALICIOUS LIE.
The Valdez Prospector is trying to make itself believe that
the election of the republican candidate for president will
mean a discontinuance of construction work on the government
railway project in Alaska and in a recent editorial on the sub
ject makes a plea to the newspapers of Anchorage, urging
them to repent before it is everlastingly too late and Hop to the
democratic party. The Valdez publication says that now that
Delegate Wickersham is running on the republican ticket, he
will naturally follow the policy of the leader of the party; that
Hie election of Hughes means a cessation of the railway work,
and that the delegate would endorse this proposition. All of
which is the veriest rot and nonsense.
That political nondescript and wholly unreliable individ
ual—John E. Ballaine,—in an effort to create the impression
that the Alaska railway is endangered by the election of Mr.
Hughes, seeking thereby to enhance his own chances of elec
tion to the house of representatives from the state <>f A\ ashing
ton. sent this figment of his vivid imagination from Seattle to
the Alaska newspapers. Of course, the democratic papers are
seeking to make the most of this vicious lie, manufactured out
of whole cloth. The owners of the Valdez Prospector know
John E. Ballaine very well indeed. They further know that
any alleged information coming from him is to lie discredited.
Ballaine is so unscrupulous and untrustworthy that no one who
knows him takes any stock whatever in anything he says. His
malicious story about Mr. Hughes does the candidate a grave
injustice and wholly misrepresents his attitude on the Alaska
railway project.
As to Delegate Wickersham, the people of Anchorage
know his attitude with respect to the railway project. We know
what he has done to aid this great development scheme and we
know what he will continue to do, if re-elected We don't know
what Mr. Snlzer would do. if he were elected, because you can
never tell what a man may do until he has an opportunity to
net.
It is to the interest of this community to support the can
didacy of Delegate Wickersham. He has been a friend to the
railway project when it needed a friend in congress. HD atti
tude has not changed, nor will it change. The delegate inform
ed this paper when he was here last year that lie regarded the
completion of the government railway as the most important
step toward the development of the resources of the territory.
FISHING INTERESTS MUST PAY TAXES.
The people of Alaska have won a decisive victory through
the recent decision of the circuit court of appeals, which holds
that the territorial taxe< levied against the fishing interests of
the territory are valid and collectable. The result of this de
cision will be to annually enrich the territorial treasury by
some hundred or more thousand dollars.
The fishing industry, ami especially the salmon canning
industry, has had a long and profitable career in Alaska and
has, until the Alaska legislative assembly passed the taxation
bill, been practically immune from paying tribute to the gov
ernment.VT^iere was, and is now. in effect, an insignificant fed
eral tax per case on canned salmon, but this little sum is but a
drop in the bucket compared to the eighteen or twenty million
dollars’ worth of salmon packed every year in northern waters.
The salmon canning industry, despite the fact that salmon
and other food fishes are important resources of Alaska, has
not been of very material aid in the development of the coun
try. This is due to the fact that most of the labor used is im
ported and remains here only during the salmon packing rea
son. The canning establishments operate their own stores and
spend not a cent in the territory unless absolutely necessary.
It is gratifying that the big canning interests will be com
pelled to contribute something toward tin* maintenance of the
territory, in which they are making their fuillions. If there
is one industry that can well afford to pay taxes, that industry
is the packing of canned salmon. *
