UNJUST DISCRIMINATION
A number of fox farmers have in
formed the Gateway thta under a re
cent ruling of the fisheries, salmon
caught for fox feed comes under the
head of “Commercial Fishing.” If i
this be true, and in view of recent
rulings by the bureau ,we have no
occasion to doubt it, it will place an
other hardship on the fur farmer
The fur industry, which is in an
embryo stage as yet, should be fos
tered by the government, and every
incentive offered to induce residents
to go into the business. The islands
along the Alaskan coast, especially
those north of Cordova, are worth
little for any other ^purpose than fox
farming. In many cases they are
not suitable for raising foxes as they
have no harbors for small boats and
no shelter for the animals.
The Territorial legislature recent
ly placed a tax on fur which is seri
ously handicaping the fur farmer,
who should really receive a bounty
on his animals instead of being taxed
for his industry. While this -tax is
small to the animal in the aggregate
it amounts to a large sum, and is
bitterly resented by the man just
starting in the business.
Unless Alaska offers some in
ducement to settlers, we cannot ex
pect the territory to acquire and
hold the homeowner. In the states
in the early days taxes such as are
borne by the present taxpayer, were
unheard of, and had they been in ex
A PROCLAMATION
To each and all to whom these
presents shall come, Greeting:
Upon September 12, 1924, all
citizens are called upon and re
quested to participate in the ob
servance of DEFENSE TEST DAY.
The way to secure peace is to
prevent war.
In Alaska, proper observance
of the day is for the greater part,
limited to patriotic demonstrations
and public ceremonies.
Let us lay aside our daily pur
suits and consider the present
state of our security.
Let us renew our pledge of al
legiance to the United States of
America. The nation of which we
are a part, the Nation to which
we owe loyalty and service—and
to the Nation which has so hon
orably continued to endow and be
stow upon us the Blessings of Lib
erty.
Dated at Seward, Alaska, Sep
tember 2. 1924.

Mayor of Seward.

istence, many flourishing communi
ties today would now be a wilder
ness.
Again we say give the new in
dustry all the best of it, as he is
handicapped badly enough in trying
to hew out a hoe in a wilderness.
La Follette may be a great man,
but judging by the character of his
supporters he is badly handicapped.
On Monday next the school bell
will ring and the Seward youngster
will plod to the little red school house
with a book and pencil. It will be
hard for the youngsters who feel the
lure of the great outdoors, but ed
ucation is a potent tool in the hands
of an expert.
Gus Gelles, who as recently in
jured at Anchorage in an auto acci
dent is rap'dly recovering and may
be out within a short time. His in
juries consisted of a shattered knee
cap and many brakes.
Don’t throw the old suits away—
Jordan buys them!
