Governing Alaska
Campaign for Statehood
The Canned Salmon Lobbyist
Because he had once been a commissioner, people often referred to him as "Judge"
Arnold. Because of his work for the canned salmon industry, his opponents dubbed him
"Fish" Arnold. To his friends he was "Bill."
By any name, Winton C. Arnold was perhaps the most influential lobbyist in Alaska in
the 1940s and 1950s. Arnold represented the canned salmon industry in Juneau during
those years, and was a strong voice at Congressional hearings and in Juneau.
John Butrovich, a long time territorial and state senator from Fairbanks, once told a
reporter that Arnold was exceptionally capable. "You couldn't be that good and not be
smart," Butrovich said. "He was the best I saw, in my time, and I was there for 30 years.
And I'm looking at it from the other side."
Butrovich opposed Arnold's work to continue the advantages of the canned salmon
industry - including big tax breaks - in Alaska
