TAXATION AND
PROTECTION OF
CLAMDjDUSIRY
Representative-elect Henry A. Slater,
■who will leave for Juneau on the
steamer Alameda, is preparing a bill
which he will introduce in the terri
torial legislature placing a tax of four
cents per can on clams and herring,
the same as is taxed against the
salmon canning industry.
In order to protect the clam indus
try during the spawning season, Mr.
Slater will also introduce in the legis
lature the following memorial:
Petition to ther Congress of the
United States to enact legislation for
the protection and preservation of the
clam industry.
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States, in Congress assembled:
The Legislature of the Territory of
Alaska, being prevented from legisla
tion with regard to the fisheries of the
Territory, by the terms of the En
abling Act, we respectfully request
that your honorable body pass an ap
propriate law to prohibit the opera
tion of clam canneries except during
the months of April, May, June and
July of each year, and in support
thereof we respectfully show; that
the clam begins to spawn about the
first of August of each year and con
tinues until the winter season, during
which period the young develops.
That a continuation of the present
system of canning whenever it is pos
sible to obtain sufficient clams, re
gardless of season, will result in the
early destruction of the clam beds.
