Secretary of the Interior Krug,. :who directs the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice, stated this for all to read in a letter to Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg, June VOTE TO TINUE TRAPS! ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on “the practice of fishing by means of traps should be continued or . . . should be abolished.” To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently injure the Territory of Alaska, J. A. KRUG, Secretary of the Interior says: “TRAPS CONSERVE SALMON" ““The Fish and Wildlife Service is convinced that the (salmon) trap is . . . no threat to the Here’s why YOU Should VOTE to CONTINUE TRAPS: 1. 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 them the Territory would have to levy additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can- neries to te efficiently. Without traps, at least 25 Lrge canneries would close down because they would be slrip‘:ed of their de- pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men would lose their jobs. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate them and you undermine the Territory’s sta- bility. An unstable region cannot develop a fied economy. % Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fishermen mazimum prices. Confiscate traj and you cut down t earnings. Nobody gains—everyone loses. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world leadership in the canned salmon industry.

Vary- ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
