NEW SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
Several years ago a howl of protest
went out from'Alaska against the pas
sage of a bill pending in the congress
called the Alexander fisheries bill. Ob
jection to the passage of this measure
was led by the then delegate in con
gress. Most Alaskans are familiar
with the terms of the Alexander fish
eries Ijill, because of the long-contin
ued agitation against it, and it is un
necessary to here recite its provisions,
other than to say that it sought to
place the Alaska fisheries exclusively
under the direction of the secretary of
commerce, as opposed to giving the
territory of Alaska some say with re
gard to this potential industry of th'b
North. Opponents of the Alexander
bill took the view that if it were en
acted into law the territory could not,
as now, collect taxes on the fisheries
output in Alaska.
The Alexander bill was defeated,
but it is recalled to mind by the re
cent appointment of the author, Joshua
W. Alexander of Missouri, to the high
office of secretary qf commerce, suc
ceeding Secretary Redfield, who re
signed. Just what effect the appoint
ment of Judge Alexander will have
n the Alaska fisheries time alone will
disclose. It is reasonable to assume
that he still favors federal control as
opposed to territorial control of the
Alaska fisheries. If so, it is likewise
reasonable to assume that he will not
view with favor a bill recently intro
duced by Delegate Grigsby, which pro
vides for territorial control of the
Alaska fisheries. Hence there is slight
hope for the passage of the Grigsby
fish bill, however commendable ,from
the standpoint of the territory of
Alaska, it may be.
The new secretary ot commerce is
now 67 years old, and has had a long
experience in public life. He was
serving- his seventh term in congress
when appointed, and long before then
he had risen to political prominence
in Missouri. He was one of the first
members of congress to make a strong
impression on President Wilson, and
it has grown with closer acquaintance.
The President appointed him chairman
of the American commission to the
International Conference on Safety of
Life at Sea in 1913, held in London
after the sinking of the Titanic. An
international agreement was reached,
and Mr. Alexander was recognized as
an important factor in the negotia
tions. Before he came to congress he
was judge in the Seventh Missouri ju
dicial district, and he is “Judge” to
the members of congress, not only be
cause of his previous office, but on
account of the impression of strong
poise he gives. His serious face, on
occasion, breaks into a slow, friendly
smile. Such a smile showed itself
when he said, in answer to a question,
that he was a farmer as well as a law
yer, adding:
“However, the lawyer Alexander has
had to support the farmer Alexan
der.”—Ex.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
A newspaper office in Pennsylvania
was broken open and robbed /of 38
cents in cash, it is claimed. We brand
the report as an absolute falsehood.
A man with 38 cents in cash would not
be in the newspaper business.—Valdez
Miner.
This vicinity is becoming a rigular
wild and woolly West. Moonshine
stills are raided very frequently and
the latest to give the country a wilder
and woollier aspect is the alleged
theft of a horse in Juneau. The next
thing we will be hearing of is a sher
iff’s posse and a hanging bee.—Doug-1
las News.
