An audience of more than 150 persons went to hear John Wiese of Anchorage, representative of the Western Alaska Fisheries Council and Marcus F. Jersen of Douglas, present the case for the abolition of fish traps. Mrs. Wilford Johnson, public- ity chairman of the League of Wo- men Voters, in the absense of rep- resentatives of the opposition pre- sented to the audience the text of a series of advertisements pub- lished in local papers during the past several weeks. A radiogram received by the Em- last night from Wilfred C. Stump, executive secretary of the Taxpayers’ Association as follows: “Territorial Taxpayers Associa- tion had planned having Emory J. Tobin, publisher of the Alaska Sportsman and William Boardman, secretary of the Ketchikan Cham- ber of Commerce appear before the Juneau League of Women Vot- ers. However, the Association was iniormed date was to be twenty- first and accepted on that basis, but was subsequently informed date was twentieth and impossible cHange date making it impossible to appear. A series of radio talks will be given at Juneau giving all voters an opportunity to get facts on the position of the Association.” Jensen Gives Views Asking voters to check an X in favor of abolition of traps in the October 12 election, Mr. Jensen told listeners: “There has never been such a golden opportunity for a small !group to move into such a large potential wealth as the ocean off- ers and pay so little for raw ma- terial. I should say that it has been a certain form of greed that now puts in the position of a lim- ited fish supply, and practical ex- tinction of some species.” “Alaska has been bled dry by a few non-residents who have made 50 much and given so little that today we are faced with a smail percentage of raw material and a treasury that is broke,” Jensen added. “The Salmon industry has pro- duced a billion and a half dollars werth over 35 years and has paid one and one-half percent for the privilege of setting up large can-/ neries that have paid no property tax, no Territorial income tax, and have depleted the run of salmon so that now we have only half of this small revenue coming from the pack.” Replying to trap operators claims that many men are employed dur- ing the year maintaining and building traps, Jensen said that it that during the there has been last five years Por COMFORT and BERVICE Get the NEW WASHINGTON ALASKANT FEEL AT HOMI Bt m&‘mm‘ Juneau Janitor Service Home and Commercial Electric Water Heaters.

Wiese Talks John Wiese of the Western Alaska Fisheries Council gave three rea- sons for abolition of traps: for conservation of salmon runs, for equity and justice for all fisher- men, and for building a stable fish- ing industry to operate for all of Alaska and all of its people. N “Only a few ' privileged people have the advantage of taking fish by the carload from traps placed in strategic places to intercept the salmon on their unvaried runs from ocean ‘pastures’ to streams,” Wiese told the audience. “Not enough spawn is getting into the creeks with trap after trap along the shore line,” Wiese said. “Continued brailing lets few salmon through the traps to the streams. “In Puget Sound where trap tish- ing was abolished in 1934, the salmon pack is on a slow increase. In Alaska waters just the oppo-j site is occurring, with a slow de- cline in pack over the past 10 year: ™ Questions came ut (lie speakers hot and heavy when a 45-minute open forum was called for by Mod+ erator Mrs. Mildred Hermann, SBuch questions as “Could seiners produce enough fish to keep can- neries going?”; “What is the legal! status of traps?”; “Is abulishment of traps a return to horse and buggy days?” kept Speakers Jen- sen and Wiese on their feet giv- ing answers. The question: “Are other fish than salmon being destroyed by | traps?” brought a lively debate. Wiese cited that tons of small fish taken in traps are thrown over- board.
