Under this sliding ‘scale, the big companies which, in general, own the most traps pay the highest fees. NATiUnAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska mw; wn Thus Libby, McNeill and le_by. which is listed for 35 sourth Avenue Sldg, Besitle, WasiL traps, would pay $700 each in license fees or a total e —————s—— | of $24,500, and Pcaific American Fisheries, with 57, pays $800 each or a total of $45,600. All traps in the Territory pay these license fees, we believe, except the seven traps owned by the An- nette Islands Canning Co. and the four traps owned by the Angoon Community, also an Indian organiza- tion. These 11 traps, we understand, do not pay any lizense fees or other taxes to the Territory. In addition to the license fees, there is a tax of $4 per thousand fish over and above 100,000 fish caught by a single trap. Each seine in operation in the Territory is sub- ject to a license tax of $20 and each fisherman who is a resident of the Territory to a license tax of $I1. Non-resident fishermen pay a license tax of $25. Thus a six-man boat with resident fishermen would pay $26; the same boat with non-resident fishermen would pay $156. There is no tax on the catch of seine boats. In addition, of course, both forms of gear pay indirect taxes, such as the motor fuels tax on fuel The organization known the world over as CARE ygaq by the seine boat and on fuel for the boats used began two and a half years ago to perform a limited to set and tend the traps.
