The inaustry realizes that its future depends on these -+ salmon runs. Alaska’s future also: de- pends on these salmon runs. Don’t vote to confiscate traps and cripple the industry that is helping iy- sure Alaska’s future. . VOTETO CONTINUE TRAPS! COMMITTEE OF ALQ‘SKA_ to Insure Future Here’s why YOU Should VOTE to CONTINUE “TRAPS: . Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for six to nine months for approximately 4,000 people, mostly Alaskans. . Traps are the best means of conserving Alaska’s salmon. . Traps pay taxes. Without shem the Tetritory would have to levy additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. . Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can- neries to operate efficiently. Without traps, at least 25 large canneries would close down bewuse they would be llripzed of their de- pendable supply of salmon—t ousands of men would lose lteir jobs. . Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate them and you undermine the Territory’s sta- bility. An unstable region cannot develop a diversified economy. * . Traps so stabilize the entire galmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traj and you cut down t ecarpings. N ly gains—everyone loses. . Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Coq- fiscate them and you so weaken America’s posi- tion that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing U.S. built floating canneries, to seize this prize in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated, in’ 1937, by their operations in Bristol Bay, that such floating canneries constitute a real threat. - . Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Confiscate them and you discourage other industries from investing in Alaska’s future. i . Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate them and you establish a gear monopoly in the catching of salmon. . Traps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE TY;;IS OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska's canned salmon pack. Vary- ing conditions in the ing grounds make it economically feasible to'fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps. TRAP OPERATORS
