R ALASKA NEEDS TRAP FISHING As resident Alaskans, we know our economic future is tied to the growth and development of the Territory. A searching study of Alaska’s economy has con- vinced us that salmon traps must continue to oper- ate in Territorial fishing waters. i We ourselves do not own canneries nor do we operate f)‘sh traps. - But our independent studies have con- vinced us that salmon trap fishing IS vital to Alas- ka’s business future. Here are our reasons for this conviction: 1. OFF SEASON TRAP LABOR PROVIDES ALASKA WITH A $2,983,368 PAYROLL! This payroll is exclusive of the fishing season and mclgdes every month of the year except when traps are in operation. Labor is required for cutting logs for trap frames and piling; building, repairing and lashing qf trap frames; preparation of the web, gear apd netting; towing of traps to their locations; set- ting anchors to hold them in place; and finally, dis- mantling and storing the traps at the close of the season. Each floating trap has a payroll of $5,500. Each pile-driven trap has a payroll of $10,200. SUPPLIES AND SERVICES FOR TRAPS MEANS $3,618,500 MORE. " An additional $9,600 per trap is spent annually for supplies and services of all types such as: repairs to tender and rigging scows used in trap operations; charters, including tenders and patrol boats; diving work; cost of logs for replacement of frames and piling, plus other miscellaneous items entering into trap fishing. CANNERIES DEPEND ON TRAP-CAUGHT FISH: Trap—caught fish make it possible for Alaska’s can- neries to operate on the scale they now maintain. During the season these canneries employ 20,000 people. .More than half, or 10,600 of these men and women are residents of Alaska. 'The cannery men say ‘that without trap-caught :fish, at least 25 of Alaska’s largest canneries will close. These facts, which are vital 1o every Alas- kan resident, make it necessary that all Alaska residenis vote on October 12 to continue the use of trap fishing Territorial Taxpayers Association DELEGATE GIVES OUT WARNIN Says Alaska Is "Sitting Duck”~Territory Could Be Easily Attacked KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Sept. 28.— (P—Delegate E. L. Bartlett describ- | ed Alaska today as a “sitting duck” for any possible future ag- gressor. He warned that it could be turned easily by an invader into a base for bombing raids against the states. He told a civic club that the vast Territory’s military installa~ tions are enough only to make it “a tempting prize for any aggres- and its rescue party and, !less afford to walt. for Alaska is' | facilities could imunegiiatly be]a sitting duck.
