We are Alaskans interested in taxation and the pros- perity cf the Territory. As far as we are concerned, the trap referendum on which we will vote October 12th is NOT a gear fight, but an economic problem | which concerns all Alaskans. e On the conservation question, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is the bureau in charge of conservation, has authority at the present time to close every fish trap in the Territory tomorrow morn- ing if they were believed to be a menace to our salmon. We have completed a study of the trap question and here are the economic reasons why the welfare of the Territory demands the continuation of traps: 1. TAXES: Fish traps contributed more than $800,000.00 in taxes to the Territory last vear. This is approximately one-seventh of the total taxes collected by Alaska. Our present tax money is insufficient to ade- quately support our cities, school, welfare needs and other vital programs. We protest any legislation designed to destroy present Territorial tax resources. 2. JOBS FOR ALASKANS: Thousand of Alaskans are employed by salmon traps, not just during the fishing season, but through- out six to nine months of the year. Supply- ing' materials for the construction of traps is a major Alaska industry. AH wire netting . and logs used in making traps are produced in Alaksa by Alaskans. If you vote to elim- inate traps, you are destroying imdustries and jobs of Alaska residents. 3.~ NEW INDUSTRY: For the past 34 years, the salmon industry has been developed by the use of fish traps until it now has an in- vestment of over one hundred million dol- lars in the Territory. Seriously crippling our largest industry by eliminating fish traps will discourage new money from investing in Alaska. Alaska needs a year round econ- omy — to get it we must encourage more venture capital to invest in the Territory. "3 g ‘| - 0 Directors: &' % P ' Wea HARRY J.
