C. Salmon Fishermen's Association) at its annual convention, strongly disapproved of the prpvin- cial government s one per cent taxation, as it is intended to apply it to fishermen's gross earnings. While this has not been applied this year to fishermen, yet the provincial government insists that it is logical to have, say, a cannery deduct one per cent ol the gross va-fe' lue ol fish delivered, and the lish- ermcn eventually produce to the government vouchers to show his personal overhead, to enable him to recollect any overage taken from his earnings. Fishermen's earnings frequently for a few' weeks appear to be great, but, if spread over the entire year, oftimes do not amount to low wages for the year. For the government to collect, with a knowledge that a large rebate will be due to the payee eventually, causes un necessary hardship, It was claimed. The present policy of the Domin ion fisheries of attachment of Japanese licenses to designate canner ies was strongly disapproved.

The snag scow is to be requested to operate full time In 1932. During the 1931 season the snag scow was tept at home practically all season nd was only permitted to operate for a short period. This was osten-Ibly done In the interests of econ omy but the fishermen lost very aeavlly In the matter of expensive tear. For the government to save .i few dollars at the expense of the citizens' larger loss was considered false economy as the prosperity of the citizens should be the major de sire of any administration. The name of the association was changed to"Northern B. C. Fisher men's Association" from "Northern B. C. Salmon Fishermen's Assocla tlon." This change of name became Imperative owing to an Increasing desire of other classes of fishermen to become members. A complete new constitution was formulated flex lble enough to enable the absorp tion of all classes of fishermen. It was the considered opinion of uonunuea on rage two Westbound trains will be known in future as No. 195 Instead of No. 5. Eastbound trains will be known as No. 196 Instead of No. 6.
