the Alaska Packers Association. We
have never represented the Booth
Fisheries. We did represent the
Northwestern Fisheries company in
one single criminal case which was
tried about a year ago. That was em
ployment for a single case only, and
It is terminated. It is the only em
ployment we ever had from any cor
poration or person connected with the
Booth Fisheries. The Alaska Packers
Association have few, if any, traps. I
know positively that when I was last
in Bristol Bay, the place where by
far the larger part of the red fish are
caught, they had no traps whatsoever.
I am informed that there are now no
traps in Bristol bay. If they have any
traps in Southeastern Alaska, I have
no knowledge of them. I did not
even think of the wishes, or supposed
wishes, of any client of mine when
the bill for taxing fish caught on
traps was before the Senate. I voted
against the bill for the reason that
the proposed tax would be difficult
of collection, and would put a pre
mium upon dishonesty. There was no
method of keeping a; check on the fish
caught in traps. The Territorial
Treasurer advised against any change
in the law on account of the resultant
confusion in his office. And I had
every reason to believe that the bill
had been introduced to help uot a
few friends of its author. It meant
nothing to me personally whether the
bill passed or failed. I voted against
it because I thought it was a bad bill.
I voted to maintain a form of taxa
tion on traps that had been approved
by Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Arthur
Frame. And now they say that in do
ing what I did, I betrayed the people
of Alaska. When they say that they
know they are not telling the truth,
and they are trying to fool the people
of Alaska.
And tnat 39 lu 01 u»e mmtuucm
igainst me. Searching a legislative
record covering two sessions, they
ean find nothing else against me.—
But let us go further: I have al
ways proclaimed my belief that the
people of Alaska should control its
fisheries. That Congress should give
:o the Alaska legislature control of
ill Alaskan fisheries and fishing
grounds. I have insisted on this at
ill times. And the House Joint Mem
orial No. 1 of the 1923 session, refer
red to above, contained a prayer (add
sd to it after it had left Mr. Suther
land’s hands) that the control of the
Isheries be given to the Legislature.
But Mr. Sutherland opposed it. At
he hearings held before the Commit
ee on Merchant Marine and Fish
>ries, House of Representatives, Six
:y-eighth Congress, First Session,
leld in January and February, 1924,
on page 91 of the transcript, in reply
:o a question ”om Representative
McKeown wh asked why the con
trol of the fisheries should not be
turned over to the Legislature, we
ind Mr. Sutherland saying: “I should
like to ask and would make an effort
to have the Territory of Alaska han
dle their fisheries, but realize that
—there is no use mincipg matters
*bout these things—that these people
(the packing interests or so-called
Fish trust) are all powerful in Alaska
ind all powerful all over the country.”
In these hearing Mr. Sutherland testi
ied at great length, yet not once did
ie even suggest that the fisheries
juestion might be settled by turning
;he control of the fisheries over to the
Alaska legislature. He evidently
•hinks that the only thing Alaskans
ire fit to be trusted to do, is to vote
;o return him to Congress. Some of
is refuse to put so low an estimate
lpon our intelligence and abilities.
*.nd this is a fair example of the fun
lamental difference in political out
00k between myself and Mr. Suther
and. I believe in home rule; that
ve are fit to rule ourselves, particu
arly as concerns the fisheries. He
opening this statement in using the
strong language which I did use to
iharacterize the accusations of the
nen who said that I had betrayed my
lonstitueirts for the dollars that I was
jetting from the fishing interests.
The fishing industry now pays about
15 per cent of all territorial taxes. But
he increase in taxation of 1923 and
■ 925 over the taxes of former years
ell almost entirely on that industry,
^.nd so the increased appropriations
or the schools, the college and the
jioneers’ pensions came almost whol
y from the salmon packing business.
My enemies, graspingly eager for
he power and emoluments of office,
ay that I am a corporation lawyer. I
m not. I am a lawyer for some cor
lorations, and the distinction is the
istinction between honor and dis- \
onor. I aim to be ,and am, the same j
ind, the same type, of lawyer that j
ay ideal, Abraham Lincoln, was. In j
ay office and in the forum of the j
ourt I faithfully advise and represent j
ay clients. And that is all. In the |
’erritorial Legislature I have repre- |
ented, and shall represent again if |
lected, just as earnestly and just j
s faithfully my one client, THE i
’EOPLE OF ALASKA. jj
Respectfully, jjj

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
