FISH TRAP QUESTION On October 12 the voters of Alaska will cast their pallots on one of the most important questions to face them in years. They will be asked to vote for one of two propositions: 1. “The practice of fishing by means of fish traps within the Territory should be gradually abolish- ed over a ten year period,” or; 2. “The practice of fishing by means of fish traps should be continued.” Political advertisements on both sides have been appearing in Alaska newspapers, and from all indica- tions this issue will be the subject of a great deal more discussion between now and election day. The question will be discussed from many angles. In one sense it is a gear fight—the seine fisher- men and trollers competing against the more efficient fish trap. Then, there are also some areas in Alaska which cannot be fished by any oth® method. It is reasonable to expeat, therefor, that if traps are abolished some canneries will close. Operators claim that 25 such operations would be closed There also is reason to believe that if traps are' abolished the quality of the product, which in normal times must be sold on the world market in competition with other foods, will suffer. ! And since the abolishment of traps would give the seiners a monopoly, undoubtedly the lack of com- petition resulting would force the price up. Operators also have used the fish trap, which ! holds the fish alive until they are needed, as a means of promoting a steadier cannery operation, eliminating spoilage and rush. It is also true that the Territory would suffer some tax revenue loss if traps were abolished It is a complex question which the average voter will find difficult to comprehend. There are able propagandists at work for both sides. It seéms to us, however, that under the American system of free enterprise, there could be only one logical reason for confiscating the property of the trap owners—that would be for purposes of conserva- | tion. Otherwise we are voting for class Jegxslanon fhe Washmglon Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page Gme® There is some strove to create. of her of a fifth marriage. despair.

The Italian workers and people refused to see in the act of a young madman sufficient reason for overthrowing a government that th2y had elected by a large majority only a few wecks The de Gasperi Government's own firmness in | dealing with the potentially dangerous situation con- the quick return to normal life. If Palmiro Togliatti should not ecover from his wounds new outbreaks of violence probably can be| expected, but the danger of a real uprising seems to d an attempted uprising 1t was. Characterization of the Communist incitation by the “act of insurrection” correctly in- vterprns we believe, the intent of Togliatti's followers. Communism breeds best in a period of confusion and he credit of the Italian people that | the general strike called by the Communist-controlled tion of Labor petered out quickly and the Communist-incited riots staged in the cities ‘The sooner the Political strikes It is not the brokerage firm of Thomas and Godfrey, sinch which time we have served some of the largest and most reputable concerns, and we have never resorted to the ‘Jimmy Roosevelt practice’ eith- er. I know that Godfrey can be helpful to you; at least I wmlld appreciate any courtesies wnich you may care to extend to him.” Thomas's high blood pressure must have gone up a bit when the letter came back from his insur- ance partner. Across the bottom was scribbled: “This man refused to talk — | | says he doesn’t know you.” | Probaby Herman Kimmel was 'only pulling an act similar to that of his son when quizzed by the sAlmy colcnel. For, a year later, when Thomas was up for re-elec- tion, Kimmel sent a helpful con- yman’s campaign. And two years later, in the 1946 primary, Kim- | mel also sweetened the campaign | kitty to the tune of $100. So the “American act” of keep- | ing a man from overseas duty | | paid dividends in the end.
