MEANINGLESS MUSH
(Juneau Empire)
In the write up of an interview with
Delegate Sutherland in the Nome
Nugget appears the following:
Delegate Sutherland’s policy to
ward the fishing industry is to hold
that industry open to the public; he
does not believe that any corpora
tion should have an option on this
industry and it is to that end that
Delegate Sutherland is working.
Another Alaska paper says that
Dan stands with the “home folks” on
the fisheries question.
How some folks like to bunk the
people with meaningless mush!
No one has suggested that any cor
poration should have an option on the
fisheries industry and no one is at
tacking the “home folks.” There is
no contest between the “home folks”,
ami any foreign money.
It is conceded that something must
be done to conserve the fish supply in
the country. It is conceded that one
way to do that—one of the necessary
ways to do it—is to curtail the fishing
in those waters where there is over
fishing. There is only one way to stop
over-fishing, and that is to limit the
fishing—that is to put a mark beyond
which there shall not be any more
fishing.
Certainly no one will dispute that
the interests of the “home folks” and
the country generally demand that the,
fisheries industry shall be preserved
and that the fishing be curtailed if
that is necessary. How can it be cur
tailed or limited if it is not stopped
when it reaches the point beyond
which it is not safe to go.
But, Mr. Sutherland shouts, the wa
ters are free and every man has a
right to fish when and where he
pleases, or words to that effect.
Well, so are Homesteads free, and
mineral lands, and everyone has a
right to a homestead or mineral claim.
But homesteading and claim staking
have to stop in a given locality when
all the land is homesteaded or staked.
Would Mr. Sutherland or any of the
others who prate in mellifluous lan
guage about "home folks” and the op
tions of corporations, make homestead
ers and claim owners reduce their
homesteads and claims to make room
for others seeking land? After all the
gear and fishermen that can possibly
operate at a profit, and leave enouglt
fish to propagate the species, are ad'
mitted to certain waters what “home
folks” interest is impaired if further
invasion is stopped.
The Empire’s argument is wrong ir
that it is based from a personal and
political dislike of Delegate Suther
land, and not from facts. The Empirt
admits that something must be done,
but in another paper tells of the pack;
being larger this year than for manyj
years. It says that when canneries:
and fishermen overcrowd the waters,'
they must be limited, and yet a num
ber of new canneries were allowed to
enter an overcrowded field. Delegate
Sutherland is seeking to ameliorate
these conditions and we believe that
every person without bias will con
cede that but for his efforts they
would never have been investigated.
SEND IN YOUR KICKS
A day or so ago a man refused to
take The Gateway because he “could
not believe anything he saw in it.”
Perhaps the gentleman was right and
was a little gunshy, but no paper is
sues a certificate of veracity with a
subsci’iption. It believes that its sub
scribers have sense enough to dis
criminate between the false and the
true. The news is published as it is
receive(t> without adding or subtract-;
ing from its merits. That is all any
editor can do. Otherwise a subscriber
might pick up “Sixteen String Jack”
and not be able to tell it from the
Bible. It is curious, but a large ma
jority of the kicks come trom persons
who do not take the Gateway; never
have taken it, and read it when oth
ers pay for it. Why this is thus we
have no means of knowing. But if
you have a kick, let us have it. Me
know you are reading the paper when
you differ with it.
NEW BANK AT KETCHIKAN
The Bank of Alaska will open a
bank at Ketchikan, E. A. Rasmuson
announces. This will be the fifth bank
in the territory owned by this com
pany.
Bob Mathison and family of Hope,
have moved to Anchorage where they
will spend the winter to permit the
children to go to school.
Miss Dorothy E. Haley, or Juneau,
has joined the Anchorage Times
reportorial staff. For the past thiee
years she has been with the Empire
as city editor. She began her news
paper career on the Capital.
According to Anchorage residents
the recent big storm and high tide
washed the beach clean at Anchor
point, on Cook inlet, and left good
pay in various places along the beach.
Several men left to work the beaches
with a small outfit.
The city council is determined to
stop the pranks heretofore practiced
on Hallowe’en and for this purpose ex
' tra police will be placed on duty on
' that night. Chief Walker announces
that he will be forced to arrest all
' children caught molesting the prop
erty of others, and advises parents to
take wai’ning and keep their children
out of mischief.
