in number. Nevertheless there has been no serious diminution of game during the past few years, according to the reports received from game wardens by this office. But its disap- pearance may be expected with the gradual settlement of the territory. The importance, therefore, of conserv- ing it Is apparent; and also it should be remembered that Alaska is the last great game section of the United States.
 No increase in the number of game wardens has been made during the year. Nine wardens are employed, and besides, the employees for the suppress sion of the liquor traffic among the Indians are ex-officio game wardens without pay, and special game war dens are employed from time to time or whenever the funds at the disposal of this office will permit The ap- propr!at!on for the fiscal year was s20,0OO.
 Joint Protection Of Game, Eetc.
 In June last the territorial council of Yukon territory. Canada, passed a resolution recommending that some plan of action be mutually under taken by the governments of Canada, the United States of America and the province Of British Columbia for the protection of game animals, game birds and fur bearing animals in Yu- kon territory, Alaska and British Co igmbia; and it was further recom- mended that such protection can be best afforded by the extermination of wolves and coyotes. With respect to the subject matter of the resolution of the Yukon territorial council, as out lined above, I have to state that be- lieve if joint action can be secured on the parts of the governments inter ested, a long step forward will be taken in the protection and conserva- tion of the game animals, birds and fur bearing animals in the districts adjoining the boundary lines of Alas ka, Yukon territory and British CoIum- bia, all Of which are geographically connected, and besides have many in terests in common. In this connection | may add that the Alaska legislature, session of 1915, enacted a law ITO pre- serve the food supply of Alaska, plac- ing bounty on certain wild animals and providing payment for the same" |" The bounty paid for each wolf pelt is $lO, and it is required that the wolf pelt must be turned over to the terri tory, certifying that the animal was not killed by poison. Apparently this law has failed of its purpose. as but few wolf belts have been presented for the pament of bountles, perhaps because the bounty nf 4I0 for each wolf pelt Is considered too small, and consequently there is no incentive for hunting this animal. In view Of the importance of the preservation of game and other animals from the rav- ages of wolves and coyotes. I have to recommend that congress take such action as may be necessary to protect the game of Alaska, through co-opera- ton with the governments of Canada and British Columbia.

TREASURY is IN A CHAOTIC
CONDITION
To Save II From Bankruptcy the War
Emergency Tax Has to Be
Extended

That the Free-Traders are forced to
extend the War Emergency Tax law
for another year, ending December
81, 1916, in order TO save the United
States Treasury from bankruptcy, was
the assertion of Representative Ford
new of Michigan, in his speech in the
House December 16. Mr.. Fordncy
said:
my democratic friends, you and
disagree politically; in no other way.
Under the Underwood tariff law the
free sugar clause, 50 called, places
sugar on the free list on May / next
Under that law sugar has yielded to
this government in customs receipts
for nine months Of this calendar year
S45 900, 900. and if for the remaining
three months sugar yields a proper
toms receipts on sugar this year will
amount to S6O,OOO,OOO. The total GUS
toms receipts for the calendar year
1915 will yield fraction less than
zuOsNuDsubb- olANE NlAAAlOl holldTat as
have said, from imported sugar.
You are compelled, in order to save
your Treasury from deficit, to ex-
tend this law and to repeal the free
sugar clause in the Underwood tariff
act. not because you want to, but be-
cause you are obliged TO.
During the last seven months
prior to the war in Europe, at which
time the Underwood tariff act was in
effect, imports which were made were
more than S1OO,OOO,OOO greater than
in any corresponding month in any
previous year in all of our history,
and customs receipts during that per-
iod averaged about S22,OOO,OOO per
month, or an average of about S5, 5,O0O,-
900 per month less than was collect
ed under the Payne tariff act. For
the last eight months of this calendar

year, to November /, the foreign i'm
ports, Notwithstanding the war in
Europe, exceeded the imports for the
same period under the Payne tariff
law of 1913 by $5O,OOO,OOO, and the
customs receipts were S77,OOO,00O
less.
1T is not due to the war in Europe
that the condition of the Treasury Of
the United States today is chaotic. 1t
is due to your tariff law. If you were
to have extended the republican tar
iff laws upon the statute books when
you came into power, you would col
lect more money than the Treasury
Of the United States under judicious
management would have used during
this administration. / say, my friends
that Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had war in Europe all these
months since Aug, 1914, the revenue
Of this government, based on the ad
valorcm rates in the Payne tariff law,
would have yielded to this country
sufficient revenues to pay the run
ming expenses of this govrnment.
"Your treasury today is in cha
otic condition. Your treasurer has
changed the manner Of bookkeeping
in the United States Treasury, and if
there were national bank within the
limits of the United States today that
would adopt the manner Of bookkcop-
ing such as has been adopted in the
Treasury Of the United States, the
bank examiner, under the direction Of
the Secretary of the Treasury, would
have every man connected with that
bank in Jail within "a hours"

pcnditures. Either bond issue or ex-
"a taxation is necessary.
The republicans and progressives
voted against the house resolution,
not because the money was not need
b., but because they felt thar thcr,
were other ways of getting it. Inn
ports for the year ending November
30, were greater in value than for
any year prior to 1913. The Under
wood rates stimulated importations of
free articles. The republicans would
prefer increased tariff duties to spec
Ial taxes on business transactions.
MIR. Mann objected to a years exten-
sion on the ground that conditions
may change so as to make this form
of taxation unnecessary. Mr.. Cannon
suggested the sale of Panama canal
bonds to reimburse the treasury for
advances on a great permanent i'm
prCvement. The democrats have prac-
tically used up the S166,OOO,OO treas
ury balance the republicans left them
at the end of the fiscal year 1913.
They might as well draw on past re-
publican savings from current reve-
nue.. But the word bonds" frightens
every democrat Will the margin be
narrower when the additional war
tax measures come to a vote in the
house National Farmer.

of State Treasurer Stocker are urg-

they claim that he was a member Of

saloon league long before Governor
Carlson was known to a dozen people

assert that no other candidate could
so surely unite the two factions of the
party and that his conduct Of the
Treasurer's office has been a model
of economy and efficiency. Mr. Stocller
has, however, given no definite as
