ALASKA GAME
 LAWS ARE NOT
 SUITABLE NOW
Power to Administer Laws Is Vested in Congress and Not in the
 Territory.

Gov. Strong discusses in thor
 ough manner the Alaska game laws | in his annual report submitted to the Secretary of the Interior. The
 vestment of power in Congress is touched upon and remedies suggest
 ed
 The Alaska Game Law
 The control of the game Of Alaska is vested in Congress, and not in the Territorial Legislature. although unsuccessful attempts have been made to transfer such control to the legislature where 1t seems to me 1t naturally belongs. When what is known as the Alaska organic act was passed by Congress in 1912. Congress reserved to itself, among many other powers, the right to leg
 slate for the protection of the game animals. birds, and waterfowls of Alaska. The first comprehensive game law for the protection of the game in Alaska was passed in 1902. taking effect August l, 1903. This law received important amendments in 1908 but 1t has never been en- tirely satisfactory in it's operation in many respects. because of chang ing conditions and the fact that some of its provisions are such that it has been found difficult to enforce them as strictly as 1t could be de- sired It can not be doubted that the people of Alaska are vitally in- tarested in the conservation of the game Of the Territory, and therefore it is submitted that as the legislature directly represents the people. and being acquainted with conditions in all the different sections of the Ter ritory. is better qualified to enact laws for the protection of game than is Congress. This is Q plain propo- sition that should not need demon stration. Three distinct departments exercise control over the game, fish, and fur-bearing animals. These in- clude the Department of Agricul- ture, the Department of Commerce, and the governors office. The De- partment of Commerce. through the Bureau of Fisheries, exercises com plete control over the fish and the marine fur-bearing animals; the De partment of Agriculture over the terrestial fur-bearing animals. while the latter department and the gov ernor of Alaska share in the opera ton of the game laws. The gover- nor of Alaska is supposed to execute he law. but the Secretary of Agri- l culture provides the regulations there under The governor appoints the game wardens and guides and issues hunting and shipping game licenses, |

tive for hunting this animal In view of the importance of the preser- walton of game and other animals from the ravages of wolves and coy otes, I have to recommend that Con- gress take such action as may be necessary to protect the game of Alaska, through cooperation with the governments of Canada and Brit ish Columbia.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-08-10

In Putnam county a recount of the
governorship has just been compile
ted, resulting, as in other places in
n gain for Mr.. Knott. The Palatka
Times-H Herald, published at the scene
of this recount, makes the following
comment thereon:
"The Putnam county recount Of the
governorship vote was made so fair
ly and so openly, proving conclusive
iy that all Mr.. Knott desires is an
accurate count of the votes as actu-
ally cast by the electors on the 9Th
of June, that even the most radical
of the rampanters have found no
grounds upon which to base a cry of
stealing votes" etc. The recount in
other places has been made just as
openly and fairly as in Putnam coun-
ty. We fail to understand why there
should be any opposition to an hon.
est, accurate count, such as Mr..
Knott and his friends desire.
