LOWER EXPRESS TAX
COMMISSION REDUCES ASSESS
MENT NEARLY HALF.
Due to the Operation of Parcel Post,
Which Has Cut Deeply Into
Express Business.

Madison. Final assessment of the
property of express companies doing
business in Wisconsin was fixed by
the state fax commission at a total
of $8O7,500 as compared with $1,57O,-
500 for 1912, a reduction of $763,O0O,
or nearly one-half The amount of
tax levied is reduced from $17,406. SO
to $9.554.69
This is the only reduction appear
ing in the assessment of public util-
tiles and is due to the fact that the
operation of the parcels post system
by the national government has so re-
.duced the value of the property of
these companies that a reduction in
the assessment was found necessary
The valuation fixed for each COM
pany in the present assessment is as
follows.

M Qutlook

In some quarters it has been more or less popular plea from time to time that the fisheries Of Alaska arc sui- fering a serious decline and that be- fore long the industry will be almost thing of the past. Careful and im- partial analysis Of the situation does not justify this conclusion. It Is true that specific instances and streams may be cited where lighter catches are now the rule but it does not fol. low that this condition exists gener- ally. Salmon runs iluctuate from sea. son to season. and the well known periodic cycles of lean and full years seem to be natural phenomena rath- CT than Che effect Of mans influence. As to the diminishment of the mum bers of fish in some waters. 1t may be said that this is undoubtedly di' rect heritage og an annihiiatve sys. tenn of barricades and other cestruc. tive agencies which wrought great damage before the staying hand Of law and the application Of reason upon the part of those engaged in the fishery began the correction Of such outrages upon nature When one considers the general flourishing condition of the industry, and cognizauce is taken Of the remedial measures applied through proper regulations of the iisn- cries. the contentious Of those who foresee the doom Of Aiaska's fisher ies do not appear to be well found- ed
 An examination of the situation in it's true perspective, and in the light Of all available information leads to the conclusion that tho fishery Of AZ aska will survive indefinitely. not only upon It's present plane, but that through intelligent fostering and prop CT regulation it may be developed in a notable degree Further laws are needed and funds are required to bring about & full realization Of this condition. It is also necessary that there be hearty cooperation between tho government and the fishing inter- ests. as well as harmony within the ranks of those comprising the com mercial fishery The organization among the commercial interests of meritoriouB associations that aro com ducted along right lines can be Of genuine benefit In bringing about this result

 At present there arc seven hntcn- cries in Alaska. two operated by tne government and five controlled py private enterprise. Tho aggregato ca- pacity of the two government stations is about t50,O00,0o0 Red salmon esga, while the private hatcheries can han dle approximately 2O0000000 eggs, thus making the present hatchery ca pacity Of Alasba about S50.O00,00O sal- mon eggs, The private hatchery near Loring, with It's capacity of ll0OOO, 900 eggs, is tho largest salmon hatch cry in the world. Compared with the three Pacific Coast states and Brit ish Columbia. and considering the pro uortionato importance of the fisheries, Alaska as 8 whole Is deficient in hatch cry support. though some regions are covered quite we'll The fact remains, however. that five or more new hatch- cries are needed, one to be located in each of the following sootions' Chignik, Nushagak. Nalnek, Lynn cans al. and other places at present having no hatcheries. yet contributing heay- fly to the supply Of Red and other sal mons. There have been no new per manent new hatcheries In Alaska since the completion of the government hatchery at Afognak In 1908 At most of tho stations ogg collections have been rathor poor for Che last two or three years. and during last season less than 150.00O000 young fish were matched.
 Except in one instance, all of the Alaska stations are now provided with ponds for rearing purposes. but che pond capacity ought to be increased considerably all around. The neces- sity Of rearing young salmon to the fingerlinr stage before planting has been known for some time to deeper students of fish culture, but be it said in extenuation of failure to act more promptly and extensively upon this knowledge. that Che lack Of funds has prevented such action Not only must Che cost or ponds be considered but also the important ltem of funds for actual feeding operations. For tunatoly conditions are now better, but there is stiN room for further ad, vancement.
 It is anticipated that the first los, islation by Congress regarding Alas kan fisheries will result in the govern. ment taking over at fair valuation the five private hatcheries now receiving an allowance Of 70 cents for each thousand Red or King Salmon fry Ii, berated; this rebate Is applicable in payment Of taxes on the commercial fishery products of the companies op- eraung the -hatcheries It is under stood that the several companies con cerned are willing to turn their hatch, cries over to the government upon receipt Of fair remuneration there for.
