the value of the particular kind,
 uniformly at four cents per case
 is. a crude method. The salmon canncrymcn pay taxes at present somewhat in excess of SiOO,OOO per annnm. lt is roughly esti- mated that just revision of the system of taxation upon gross ouiput would yield a revenue all most if not quite twice as large. The system of lax rebate as a re- ward Tor maintaining private sal mon haichcricS should he ahan- ldonrd. The maintenance of fish lhatchcries is legitimate and GUS tnmary function of government, and the stout opposition to the policy of rcmitting the taxes on account of hatchery maintenance, which was voiced just prior to the enactment of the present law, should have prevailed. Under the present system the government is simply keeping it's money in the wrong pocket, and not very se- cure pocket at that. All salmon taxes should be paid, and by alt least so much as the federal treasury is enriched thereby ex- |penditurcs for the support of gov ernment hatcheries should be au- thorizcd.

Goy. cLaRK'S REPORT ON
 CONDITIONS IN ALASKA

(Continucd from page i) tratiOn of vital statistics, super vision of banks, compulsory school attendance, relief of des- titution.
 The report on the fishing in- duStry deals with the conditions Of 1910 as compared with the sea- son of 1909. IL says during 1910 there were employed in the sever al branches of the fisheries i5,- 62O persons, an increase of B. 032 over 1909. Of these G,836 were whites, i,ti7 Indians, and 4,637 Oricntals. The total invest ment in the fisheries in 1910 was S2O,7 ,i22. The finished pro- duct was 2ii,536,333 pounds, having an export value of Si3,- 259,859, an increase of t2,553,- 195 pounds and S2,O78,l7f over 1909.
 The greatest and most imme- diatc need for movement look ing toward conservation of re- sources in Alaska is the need of protecting the supply of food fish es. The present method of taxa uon is not scientific, but as long as the gross output continues to be the sole basis of taxation the effort should be to render this system as nearly equitable as can be. The taxing of all kinds of canned salmon, without regard to

ANNUAL OFFICIAL PROTEST

GoNrrnnr Walter F.. GIark's an nual report to the president is largely a repetition of former re- ports made ny himself. It also varies little in many respects from the, reports of others who have been the executives repre- SenlativrS since the purchase of Alaska. It may be regarded as the annual official protest against the laws or lack of them under which this territory is strug- gling. The printer should keep the type standing and save cx- pensc by making corrections.
 Governor Clark is opposed to Alaska being granted self-gov- ernment, yet every section of his report calls for changes of pres cnt laws or protests against neg feet of inc territory by congress and the administration. It is diff ficult to understand his anOlogy of the situation.
 The report shows the popula- tion of the territory has increas- cd by few hundreds only dur ing the past decade. It would have increased by as many hundreds of thousands instead had Alaska been given laws favorable to it's development. The export of prac- iOuS metals have decreased, yet the gold and silver mines of Alas ka have not been exhausted. The reppcr output and the products of the fishing industry show healthy increase, but these fall far short of keeping the terri LOry's balance on the right side of the ledger. The exports of the territory, other than copper and fishing products, have decreased and the imports have fallen or in a corresponding volume.
 The list of changes in the present laws or the establishment of new measures which Governor Clark recommends is a long one. It would he necessary tO call an extra session of congress to deal with them, and ihcrr arc others which Inc has overlooked. Among the measures which the report would appear 10 hn asking con gross Io deal with are changes in the minin" laws. modilicaiI0nS of the forest reserves. care of indi- gents and destitute. changes in school laws. changes in liquor laws. iirr"as" nf tax on products of fShin" industry. aids to nav lgatiOn, large appropriations for road building, laws governing territorial quarantine. sanitation and health. registration of vital statistics. supervision of banks, compulsory school attendance and suspension of railroad mile age tax.
 Congress has been pelitiOned for some of these measures every year since long before the pres ent governor was appointed and will continue to do so just so long as this territory is governed from Washington and local government withheld. Governor Clark's re- port on conditions in the territory is itself strong argument why the citizens of Alaska should be given voice in the making of laws for the territory.

WAKNlCK'S EXCELLENT RECORD
DESERVES SECOND TERM

Mr.. Warwick is serving his first term
as county clerk He has always given
the office his personal attention, has
performed the duties faithfully and has
always been willing to accommodate
the people in every way possible.
People who go to the county seat on
public business say that in no county in
the state are the records kept in better
shape than in Forest county. The
County Board of Supervisors of Forest
County have been so well pleased with
the up-to-date manner Mr.. Warwick
has conducted the clerks Office that
they UNANIMOUSLY passed resolution
endorsing his candidacy for reelection
and each member of the board signed
the resolution. Mr.. Warwick is thor
oughly conservant with the acts of the
County Board, is familiar with the laws
and methods and it would require sew
eral years for new man to get the in
formation and experience that Mr..
Warwick has We believe it would be
unwise to let out very capable man
for one who has had no experience in
the work at all.

TO WE'D GIRL FATHER WHIPPED
Marriage License Issued to Dawson
Boy and Essie Carter.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 28.-A marriage
license has been secured from Or
dinary Wiley by Vogt o. Dozier, of
Dawson, and Essie Carter, of Macon.
They say they will marry tomorrow.
Dozier is the 20-year-old son Of W.
S. Dozier, clerk of the Terrell coun-
ty superior court at Dawson, and is
the young man on account of whom
his father severely whipped the Carter
girl at Dawson last July. The elder
Dozier and several of his friends are
now defendants in a suit for $685.
900 damages brought in the United
States court by Essie Carter.
Essie Carter states that she and
Vogt Dozier made an effort to marry
Saturday night, but could not locate
a justice of the peace, and postpon-
ed the affair until Tuesday on account
of their unwillingness for a minister
to perform the ceremony.

ON CHARGE OF MURDER.
Two Held in Calhoun for Alleged
Crime Committed Last May.


St. Matthews, Oct. 29.-Sheriff
Rast brought in Moten Cheeseboro
and Joe Fielder, negroes, from Cres-
ton this afternoon under peculiar cir
cumstances.
Last May a negro by the name of
Sam Robinson was found dead on
the Atlantic Coast Line tracks and
removed by passersby before the
train arrived. He had evidently been
murdered and carried there with a
view of shifting responsibility. There
was no clue at the time, but the
sheriff has never lost hope and finally
procured evidence which cast sus-
picion upon these parties.
A little cabin stands about four
hundred ycrds from the track, and
near the station. 1t now develops
that the bloody deed was probably
enacted within its dingy walls. Blood
stains were found on the floor of this
cabin and covered we'll with sand.
The theory is that a gambling bout
was in progress during that fateful
night, when a dispute arose, which
caused Robinson to meet his doom.
The prisoners were lodged in jail
and will probably be tried at the ap-
preaching term of court.
