THE FISH RESERVE
If fish reserves will 3erve to
check the rapid disappearance of sal
mon from Alaskan waters, then by
all means urges “The Strollers’
Weekly,” let us have the reserves
as, without some system of protec
tion, the end of the salmon catching
and canning industry' is not far
distant. The fact that the creation
of a fish reserve is by Presidential
proclamation and after the matter
has been carefully investigated by
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover, it is in very bad form for
Alaska's delegate to characterize it
as a more autocratic move than the
czar of Russia would have dared in
his palmy days. Such charges on
Dan’s part are not in keeping with
the dignity of his position. Mr.
Hoover's reputation for penetrating
the future is such that it illy be
comes foreigners like the delegate
to castigate him for doing what he
is confident is for the best interests
of the country and the preservation
of a mighty industry of a portion
of that country. On the whole, Al-1
askans are not in favor of reserva
tions, but as between Secretary of
Commerce Hoover and Delegate
Delegate Sutherland, it is more safe
and more sane to tie up with the
former.
MOVING THE CAPITOL
The Juneau Empire asks in what
way it would benefit Alaska to
have the capital moved north, and
says that interests in the Third di
vision are no different from those
in the First division. The Sewa-d
Gateway believes that this is an
error, which upon reflection will
be shown to be wrong. The Gateway
belives that Alaska and the First
division have no interests in com
mon, and that the political mach
inations of the First division alone
would divorce it from the rest of
the Territory. Juneau politics points
out the Seward Paper are manipu
lated from Seattle. The rest of
Alaska has very little look-in. Sub
ordinate positions in the Territory
are filled from the waiting list at
Juneau. Very few appointmens reach
other divisions, it is further con
tended. The Territory is supplied
with printing from Juneau; other
offices having no look in even the
school being supplied with printing
from the capital, despite the fact
that it could be done as cheaply and
as well in the locations from which
the taxes are derived for the sup
port of the schools. Offices of all
kinds are centralized at Juneau, des
pite the thousands of miles of travel
it takes an incumbent to reach his
work in other parts of the Territory
and expensive and slow proceeding.
With the capital located at Sew
ard it would shorten trips to the
capital by three weeks. It would al
low residents of the Fourth. Third
and Second divisions to do business
here at the cost of not over thirty
dollars for the trip from the head
of the government railway. It
would place the bureaus where they
would be centrally located, and in
the heart of the fishing industry.
It would give Alaska a chance to
develop and grow
Seward has no wish to grow at
the expense of Juneau, or other
towns in the Territory, but a divi- !
sion of Alaska into two or more ter
ritoires would not hurt the First
divisin and would greatly enhance
the population of the Third and
Fourth divisions.

COUNCIL FIXES TAX LEVY
SCHOOL PLANS DISCUSSED
The Nenana city council met in
special session on Tuesday night for
the purpose of reviewing the an
nual tax roll, prepared by Assessor
C. D. Leckie, and the school budget,
which was submitted by the school
board. It was the desire of the
council to avoid, if possible, any in
crease in the tax levy, and this was
done, in spite of the fact that the
revenues from taxes promise to be
less this year than they were last
and the further fact that funds
must be provided for the school this
year, which was not done last year.
It is estimated that the regular
revenues, together with the balance
in the city treasury which will be
turned over to the incoming council
will be sufficient to carry the city
and school through the coming fis
cal year without drawing upon the
reserve fund which has been built
up by the public utilities, this re
serve now being in excess of $7,000.
Taxpayers will be notified im
mediately of the amount charged
against their property' and the coun
cil will meet as a board of equal
ization the first week in April, the
first meeting being scheduled for
the night of April 3. at which time
the election returns- will be can
vassed. The following Tuesday the
affairs of the city will be turned
over to the new- council.
The school budget provides for
a teaching staff of four for the
coming year, and funds also are
asked for the employment of a jan
itor and the installation of a new
heating plant, the estimated cost
of which is placed at $3,000. The
entire budget calls for approximate
ly $7,000, but the council is of the
opinion that a sum considerably
under that amount will suffice for
school requirements.
It was decided by the council to
suggest the circulation of a petition
requesting the council to provide for
a referendum on the question of
electing a Mayor and six councilmen
three of whom will serve two years.
This is done by nearly all Alaska
cities and it is Relived the practice
of having three councilmen held o
ver from year to year will result in
more efficient administration of
municipal affairs. This petition
s being circulated today and the
voters will be given the opportunity
on election day to express their
views on the issue.
The matter of assisting the Pio
neers with the entertainment of del
egates to he grand igloo session
nex week was discussed and finally
agreed that $100 be turned over to
the Pioneers for use in connection
with their plans.
The street committee was author
ized to put the streets in order for
the coming of the visitors and it is
probable that some kind of a drag
will be used to level the snow. One
of the features of Pioneer week will
be a big street parade and level
streets are necessary for its suc
cess.
The clerk was authorized to ad
. vertise for bids for the audit of the
city books, it being the desire of the
council to have this work completed
by the time the new council as
