THAT FISH JUMPS AGAIN
(Pathfinder of Alaska)
That fisheries ques^on simply will
not down. Like the poor it is always
with us—and will be until it is settled
right. The attitude of The Pathfinder
of Alaska is well known. Without in
the least jeopardizing the capital in
vested in the development of this
great resource, The Pathfinder stead
fastly believes that the fish supply
ought to be protected for Alaskans—
also that it will likely never be prop
erly safeguarded until it is done by
kans coutrol the salmon supply of tin
world, and we don’t believe they >vil
allow it to be rutlilessy destroyed.
DAILIES SUPPLANTING WEEKLIES
_
One of the noticeable features o
I the present newspaper developmen
has been the supplanting of weekly
papers by daily newspapers. Improv
! ed transportation, extension of tele
graph and telephone lines, and growti
in population is largely responsibh
for the increased populairty of tin
daily and the gradual disappearance
1 of the weekly.
Until recent years nearly all daih
papers published weekly editions. Noi
only have nearly all of them ceaset
this, but the weeklies in the towns
which have dailies have become iess
numerous. The latest of the large
city dailies to abandon the weeklj
field is the New York World, whose
Thrice-a-Week edition was issued foi
the last time in June.
The World in an editorial, comment
ing on its discontinuance, said that
i the weeklies’ sun has set; their day
has passed, and one by one they are
I dropping out of existence.
ALASKA’S TROUELE3
Red tape and polities are keeping
capital away from Alaska, so say busi
ness men interested in the develop
ment of that magnificent Territory. In
that case Alaska has called in the best
specialists obtainable. Nobody knows
better than Herbert Hoover how to
cut red tape and nobody is so well
qualified as President Harding to cure
rotten politics.—Los Angeles Times.

AiasKans.
The Railway and Marine News, ans
wering an argument made in these
columns last tall for a higher rate on
taxation on canned salmon, urges that
such a policy might lead to confisca
tion—that the taxes might be put so
high that the canneries would be forc
ed to close down and the money in
vested thus be lost. Of course such a
claim is silly—Alaskans are not Bol
sheviks, and are not antagonistic to
capital. Far from it I We want capital,
and will lend every possible aid to its
securing fair or even big returns. Noth
ing more than a reasonar,?e tax was
anticipated, nor was tire tax imposed
by the recent Legislature higher than
is reasonable. If the canning industry
can't pay a reasonable tax on a pro
duct that it gets for nothing, some
thing is wrong with the industry, and
it might be just as well to declare a
recess untii we find out where the
trouble lies.
But the Railway and Marine News
might do well to remember that Alas
kans know their weapons. The right 01
the legislature to lay confiscatory tax
es has time and again been upheld.
The Salmon supply of Alaska has been
raided, and is showing signs 01 deple
tion in many sections. There is a rem
edy somewhere, and it must be tound
and applied. If the various officials,
boards and bureaus that are charged
with preserving the salmon supply do
not begin to function effectively pret
ty soon, Alaskans may, in seif defense
be forced to put a tax on canned sal
mon that will close up the canneries.
There would undoubtedly be weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth in
Seattle, Portland and San Francisco,
but meanwhile the salmon would have
a chance to spawn and replenish. Alas
