will result in hearings whleh will lead ultimate
ly to the abolition of fish traps
Other people are waiting to he shown. Home

he will have something to say about the matter
IF ANI> WHEN an order dealing with fish traps
Is artually signed hy the Secretary of the Inte

Secretary Seaton deserves thanlrh and credit
from Alaskans for moving to abolish fish traps.
It is all too obvious, of course, that he an
nounros Ills Intentions JUST AT THIS TIME
to try to help the candidates he would like to
see elected to office In the new state of Alaska
and in the United States Senate
Mr Seaton has not one shied more authority
to abolish traps in November of on the
eve of our first state genera! election- than he
has had ever since he became Secretary of the
Interior in I05U, or than Itcpiihliran secretaries
of the Interior have had since the Elsenhower
administration has been in power in Washing
ton.
Alaskans have pleaded for mans years for
the abolition ol traps Until last week the In
terlor Department always answered that it did
not have the power to abolish them
But all honor to Secretary Seaton. We want
the traps to go EVEN II AIT, AI ASK INS
KNOW THAT THIS BAIT IS THROWN Oi l
TO (IS AT THIS TIME I OH BEItE! V POIJTI
t’AI PURPOSES.
Away with the traps? The people of Alaska
said so hr an overwhelming vote in the I01H
fish trap referendum They said so again in ap
proving the fish trap ordinance when they rati
tied the Alaska Eonstitiition Our Territorial
legislature has pleaded for manv years foi
trap abolition.
Whatever the motives of Secretary Seaton,
we’re glad, Rut we all see through the masquer
ade when he tries to tie fish trap abolition In
with the polltienl aspirations of Mike Stepovleh.
MIKE STRFOVIFfl VOTED AiGAINST ABO
I TION OR FISH TH AI’S In the 1955 l egislature,
lie voted against a hill which will prohibit traps
on land owned by Alaska, lie voted against res
eluding action when the hill, which at first was
defeated by his vote and that of John Riitrovlch,
was brought up for a second time.
Fortunately this bill passed. Under St all
fish traps in Alaska will be abolished by Cover
tinr William A. Egan as soon as we become a
stale.
Secretary Seaton’s belated announcement Is
wholly unnecessary. It Is made to try to save
the polltlral hide of his hand picked ran
dictate for the II. S Senate, Mike Stepovleh, by
milking It appear that Mitre is against traps.
The truth Is that Mike Stepovleh, wtflle a
member of the legislator, voted TWH’E
AGAINST the art whlrh will abolish fish traps.
Ills whole public career shows that he Is JUST
IS MUCH IN FAVOR OF ABOLISHING FISH
I'RAPH AS IS W. F ARNOLD, TIIE MANA
GER OF THE FANNED SALMON INDUSTRY.
How much Is that? Nol ANY.
Mike says he stands on his record, that he
always voted his convictions and In the interest
of the people who elected him. Let’s take a look
at the record In th trap referendum of Ort 12,
1918, the people of Alaska voted Kilt trap aho
lit Ion by 10,712 to 2,021 (7* to I) And In Mr.
Stcpovieh’s Foil ft h Dlvlitloii the > votnt KIR
trap abolition 1,055 to «3R (8 to 1>. And in Mi
Stepovirh’s home city of Fairbanks they voted
1,228 to 111 (better than 10 to I) IOR trap
abolition Yet Mike went down to Juneau and
voted AGAINST
Goodbye traps! We’re glad Rut goodbye de
eeption too Goodbye demagoguery Goodbye
black trying to look white. Goodbye Mike Stepo
vleh!
