WARDEN'S REPORT
SHOWS INCREASE
Receipts From the Southern
Part of the State Large
This Year.

Mandan, dec. 29.--ShoWing another
big increase over the receipts OF 1913,
Chief Game Warden Reke of this city.
controlling the counties in the south
ern part of the state or Second dis.
trict, today completed his report for
the year.
The report shows total Of $19,-
$50. 80 paid into the treasury Of the
state game and fish board Of control,
collected from resident and non-resi-
don't hunting licenses. Last year there
was $16,197.6O collected. This is an
increase of $3,733.20.
Tho report shows that in 1913 there
were 1862 resident hunting licenses
issued in the thirty counties of the
district in 1914 there were 20,2b7
resident licenses, All increase of 1896.
censes issued this year, there being
20 in 1914. to Sc in 1913.
There were u total Of 95 arrests
made as compared with Sc last year.
Tho ratio is maintained IN the num-
ber of convictions. for there were 81
this year and 81 last year.
This year there was a total Of ST.
1880 in fines collected and turned
over to the school funds in the various
counties. This is above the total col
lected last year.
Mr.. Reko was in the office al chief
game warden for both 1913 and 1914.
and has made the Office more efficient
than 1t has ever been. This fact is
shown by the statistics for 1912 when
there were IS arrests, 13 convictions,
and a total of but $145 collected in
fines. The comparison between 1919
and 1914is great iii the number of II.
censes issued, there being 1859 more
this year.
In the two Years that Mr.. Reko has
been in Office, the revenue OF the game
and fish board of control in the south
ern district. has been increased by :.
total of $11, ,425 over the previous two
years. He has an efficient force. none
of whom draw salaries. In 1914 there
were 57s deputy game wardens and

UNIFORM FREIGHT RATES.

Pennsylvania's railroad commission
has risen to it's opportunity to add
something to the general business dis
turbance by ordering a reduction OF
freight rates on coal in the state, says
the Wall Street journal. If it can do
this. other states can do the same with
other commodities. and when they get
through the order Of the Interstate
commerce commission will hardly be
rccogniza BILE.
1t is a common law principle that
all public services arc subject to gov
crnemental regulation as to reason
ablcness or their charges, and the
Pennsylvania commission is putting
into effect it's idea OF reasonablcness.
But it is difficult to imagine any ia
road traffic that is any longer strictly
local There is scarcely any intra-
state traffic that does not directly or
indirectly affect the general com.
mercc of the country.
This being so, VIC have the spectacle
OF one commission trying to regulate
liE RAVES IOI The "nOlC country, ana
IS others working independently on as
many other different parts, and rx-
pecting the net result to bo n l1armoni-
GUS structure. where rates shall be
uniform and Just. To those who are
not members of tho different commits.
sions, it looks more like n conflict Of
authority between state and federal
power.
IT is mere twaddle to speak of sep
arate regulation of LOCAL business by
state commissions, and other business
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. However desirable it may be
to maintain the rights of the states,
here is one place where they should
not be permitted to interfere with tho
business Of the nation. The interstate
commerce commission is anything but
ideal for it's function, but even one
bad master is better than ~. each
sclfishly Indifferent to the welfare of
all the others, to say nothing of broad
CT public interest.

But. while thermometers are useful
for the recording Of temperature,
they cannot and do not record the cf-
feet of temperature on the human
body. Everyone who has lived in
both sections knows that while zero
temperature, without wind, is very
comfortable for outdoor movements in
the Northwest, the same temperature.
equally without wind, is exceedingly
uncomfortable in the South and East.
The difference in the effect is caused
chiefly in the difference in humidity
Many people have secuted this as the
imagination of western enthusiasts.
but 1t is fact based on a we'll UNDER
stood scientific law. Water is a. good
conductor of heat, and the more Wa
ter the air contains the more rapidly
heat is conducted from the body
when the temperature is low. 1t is be-
cause, of this that North Dakota

In the country where the temperature

GOLD WEATHER.

Many sections of the country have
been having very cold weather of late
as the thermometer records show
The thermometer is a reliable indica-
tor OF temperature, although accurate
thermometers are comparatively rare.
Most Thermometers are fairly accu-
rate in moderate temperatures, but in
very hot or very cold weather their
variations from the correct register
are apt to he very marked. And one
usually takes some pride in the ,,n11s,.
al. when his 25-cent thermometer reg
listers 30 below zero and the govern
.ment thermometer shows only 20. he
is quite apt to think that the. govern
ment thermometer must be wrong.
The Thermometers now in. Use at
tho government weather station, are
about as accurate as they can be
made, but even in them there are
probably some variations. A. nara.

ploration Kane indicates the behavior
Of the several Thermometers which he
carried, all of them az good al could

ate temperature their readings were
almost identical, but when the wealth

bic then to get Thermometers which

IDAHO TAXES HANG FIRE
Eighteen Counties Owe State Total Of
$129,167

Boise, Idaho, Oct. There are
Is counties in Idaho delinquent in
state taxes to the grand total
amount of S129, 167, and a number
of the IS have been delinquent for
several years. Every effort has
been made to collect, but not as
yet with success. The fact that
the tax commission has been under
FIRE since its creation two years ago
because a supreme court test found
il was not vested with certain pow
ers has made the question, with
the approach of the new legislature
loom up as important.
1t is now believed that the legis-
lature must either submit consti-
tutional amendment to the people
abolishing the state board of equal
ization and vesting its power in the
tax commission or abolish the tax
commission. The supreme court
held that the commission only oc-
cupies clerical or advisory ca
pacity.
The commission is therefore Grip
pied in its plan to adopt "a uniform
system of taxation, to check on all
counties and see that they pay
their just share of state taxes.
The counties delinquent and the
amount due from each follow:
Ada, 1892; Adams, $3.50; Ban
mock, S9,192; Bear Lake, 1926;
Bingham, s34,379; Boise, $117;
Canyon, S45, 1924; Clearwater, $625;
