ORDER FROM THE
SEWARD DAIRY
TO RECOMMEND
INCREASE IN
FISH TARIFF
KETCHIKAN COMMERCIAL CLUB
GOES ON RECORD FAVORING
INCREASE IN TAX.
The Ketchikan Commercial club
at a recent meeting at the Blue Fox
went on record as favoring an in
crease rather than a decrease in

but entering the United States.
Quotations from an official gov
ernment report showed that Ameri
can fishermen and American vessel
owners had prospered to a much
higher degree in comparison to oth
ers since the introduction of the
present two-cent halibut tariff, prov
ing conclusively that it was to the
benefit of the American fisherman
to have a high tariff on his product.
The Commercial club also voted
to send a representative to the hear
i inf' nf thp tariff commission which
is to take place in Seattle August
10. Complete arrangements will be
made by the executive committee
within the next few days. More
than 50 members of the club were
present at the meeting.
