A FEW PLAIN FACTS
(Pacific Fisherman)
President Harding, cabinet mem
bers, senators, representatives and
other high government officials are
visiting Alaska this 'uuimor to study
the needs ot tie.* Tei’itory 1’i-ii at
tention •will be sought by persons and
organizations t ivoca'i. g ti variety ot
policies in ihe adm'O’. P at ion of Alas
ka. and tin y v. ill do vll t*. return
without having their ideas utterly con
fused by the divergent claims of con
flicting interests. Pacific Fisherman
has no desire to add to the confusion;
but, in the matter of Alaska fisheries
believes that ihe silua ion may be
clarified by const!* ring a few plain
facts.
In the first place the salmon fisher
ies of the Pacific coast states have al
ready been seriously depleted thru !
overfishing, leaving Alaska as the!
principal source of fish supply for the
future. Even there, in some localities
the salmon have been depleted, and
it is evident that all the Alaska sal
mon fisheries, with a present annual
production of ever $fiO,CoO,COO, will be
in danger of extinction unless effec
tive conservation measures are car
ried out cot-sis tent! y.
Since the danger of depletion first
appealed, tin—e li..s been constant ef
fort to regu.ate salmon fishing by
legislation, bu. with remarkably poor
resu'ts. The salmon fisheries offer
too complex a problem to be dealt
with in detail by general legislation,
ana lawmaking bodies are too cum
bersome anu slow in ac.i n to h'ndle
the emergencies that constantly arise.
The -tate < v/j9h:.ig: m has finally
turned the wh it. matt r over to an
executive board, •• ah Emulations of
excellent resuits and the control exer
cised under the pr.m-ut « rangoment
i. i ’aska bv stio I) .ar r. *ut of
Commerce is ca h e of pre* • rving
th-* fisheries 0i i~t t4r.-*ij:y
I n ’or Ai 'bln c uMi J »>s i* seems
impossible to project, the fish ade
quately unless control be exercised
over the quantity of gear opera ted
and the number of operators in any
district. With a free-for-all struggle
for fish, the fish themselves can have
little chance. The results are clearly
visible in all the more sharply com
petive districts. For this reason,
some such system of regulation as
that followed by the Department of
Commerce in the new reservations
seems to be a necessity. No other
practical and effective means of hand
ling the situation in these districts
has been developed. The method
adopted is unquestionably capable of
producing the desired result; and as
far as can be seen at present, it is
the only feasible method that can do
so.
Why not have the Department of
Commerce exercise control over
“the rapidly depleting” fisheries of
Washington, which are closer to the
National capital, and allow a Board
composed of Alaskans handle their
own fisheries affairs. If this arrange
ment “has produced excellent results
in the state of Washington,” how
much better would the results be in
the Territory. As we see it, legisla
tion is the only way to preserve the
fish. Legislate the canneries out oi
the fresh water streams, and legis
the fishermen a mile or two from their
mouths. Also fix legislation that will
cause the canneries to pay Alaska a
reasonable share of the expenses of
running the Territory, in return for
the depletion of our principal re
source. Within a few yeaTs the fish
will be gone, and Alaska will not be
able to raise funds to run her gov
ernment.
The trouble with the fisheries to
day is that they are run by Washing
ton and California capital instead of
Alaskan capital, with all benefits ac
cruing to these states.

Mayor Ray today is publishing a
few simple rules for the conduct of
our citizens during the time the Alas
ka is in port. The principal points to
be observed are: To not go on the
dock or approach while the transport
is landing; to keep out of the streets
while the Presidential party is pass
ing; to keep off the road with autos
while the party is on it, and to not
crowd about the hall while Mr. and
Mrs. Harding are meeting the chil
dren. Our citizens can see the pres
ident to their heart’s content at the
depot, and will have a chance to meei
him. These few regulations have
been promulgated by those in charge
of the President’s person, and are not
local ideas. Therefore let us obey
them to the letter.
The well advertised Bureau of Fish
eries expedition is nearing Alaska. It
is safe to say that they will find ev
erything all right, and the goose hang
ing high. In all our varied career we
have never yet seen the police catch
a burglar by advertising they would
be at the scene of the robbery.
