Washington, D. G., March 3.-The
Department of Commerce through the
Bureau of the Census, announces that
the costs of government for the State
of South Carolina for the fiscal year
ending December 81, 1920, amounted
to $6,667,4 ,433, which was a per capita
cost Of $3.94. In 1917 the per capita
cost was So .16, and in 1914, $1.8S,
the totals for these years being S3,-
53s.569 and $2,s7s.5O7, respectively

The total revenue receipts in 1920
were $5,756.57S, or So. 40 per; cap
ita. For the fiscal year the per cnp-
ita excess OF governmental costs over
revenue receipts was, therefore
so.54. ~ .s. ~.
Sources OF Revenue
Property and special taxes consti-
in a majority of states. In South
Carolina they represented 651 per
cent for 1920, Ga 4 per cent for 1917,
and 64.9 per cent for 1914 The in
crease in the amount of property and
special taxes collected was 14.9 per
cent from 1914 to 1917, and S4.2 per
cent from 1917 to 1920. The per
capita property and special taxes for
hn fI-en ~
$1.24, and 81. II, respectively.
djarnings of general departments, or
compensation for services rendered by
state officials, represented 1919 per
cent OF the total revenue for 1920.
21.7 per cent for 1917, and 24.9 per
cent for 1914.
Business and non-business licenses,
which in previous years included re-
cd 8.4 per GENT of the total revenue
for 1920, is per cent for 1917, and
As per cent for 1914. Receipts from
busines licenses consist chiefly of
taxes exacted from insurances and
other incorporated companies. while
those from n-business licenses COM
prise taxes on motor vehicles and
amounts paid for hunting and fishing
privileges.
Indebtedness.

GENERAL WOOD BACKS
 SPORTS IN ISLANDS

MANILA, Oct. 30.-Expressing his approval of athletic sports in genera and wrestling in particular, Governor General Leonard Wood has a1s- nounced he hoped every city, and town in the Philippine Islands would be combed in search of a strong team to compete in the Far Eastern games at Osaka, Japan, next May.
 q believe in clean sport and ath- letc training" said Governor Gen. eral Wood Sound athletic train- ing makes better men physically, cul- tivates the spirit of fair play and the idea of give and take. It in creases mans self confidence, and builds up a physical condition in order to attain which there must be an observance of self-restraint, good habits and sound moral principles. All around athletic training lie in the schools. I wish every boy i' the islands knew how to box, and to do both we'll They would be better citizens. The tremendous increase in the morale, the self confidence of man that is engendered by box ing, wrestling and other hand-to- hand sport is of incalculable value in any crisis of his life.
 with reference to the Far East ern games to be held in Osaka next year, we ought to search every city, every municipality and every bar rio in the Philippines for good ma terial. There is no reason why there should not be and there is every reason why there should be trial in all the schools, beginning with the university and high schools to pick out boys who have special qualifications and who promise to make good material to be worked on | and developed with view to par ticipation in the Far Eastern games.
 "The winning of these games means a great deal. It will mean that the Filipinos have physical courage, endurance and skill to an extent which enables them to tri- umph in competition over all other Eastern peoples. If we take hold of this systematically we shall be able to get a team which will be a sure winner, and this we must do Ii possible"

FISHERIES MEN
 FAVOR EXTEND RESERVEAREAS

At meeting of the American Fish cries Society, held last month in Madl- son, Wisconson, two resolutions were passed relating to Alaskan fisheries matters. One of these was in con- nection with salmon spawning streams said to be involved in projects for de- velopment of pulp making resources and the other the proposal of the de- partment of commerce to extend the present limits of the Alaska Penin- sula fisheries reserve.
 POWER AND PULP PROJECTS
 The first mentioned resolution, as it appeared in the current number of the Pacific Fisherman follows:
 "Whereas, there are several pro- posed water power developments in Alaska involving either the erection of dams for power or for pulp mills on salmon canning streams, in Alaska, and
 "Whereas, it is known that the Fed eral power commission is from time to time granting preliminary permits for the erection of such dams; and,
 "Whereas, the development of power sites and paper mill sites is likely to result first, in the removal of the for ests on the watersheds of salmon spawning streams; secondly, in ob- structing the streams by dams, so as to more or less effectively prevent the ascent of salmon to the spawning beds, and thirdly, the consequent serious pollution of such streams by poisonous chemicals discharged by pulp mills and,
 "Whereas; it is well understood by 1ll those who are familiar with the development of dams and pollution of streams on the Atlantic coast, that they result in the rapid destruction of fish life, in the streams;
 "Be it therefore, resolved by the American Fisheries Society at it's an nual meeting in Madison, Wis, on September 6-S, 1922, that the Federal power commission and all other gov ernment authorities concerned in the development of power and pulp sites in Alaska be advised that it is the opinion of this society that great harm and detriment to the salmon industry in Alaska will result unless the great
The Cordova daily times., 1922-10-30

est care is exercised in permitting, for any reason, the obstruction ana nolmtion of salmon spawning streams in Alaska; and,
 "Be it resolved further, that the secretary be instructed to forward CODY to the President of the United States, to the Secretary of Commerce, to the United States Commissioner of Fisheries, to the Secretary of the Alas ka Interdepartmental board, and to the Secretary of the Federal Power Con- mission"
 The resolution endorsing the pro- posed extension of the Alaska fisher ies reserve, said:
 "Whereas, it is a known fact that the salmon fisheries of Alaska are not producing as formerly; the decline being due partly to lack of adequate regulation and partly to other causes, and
 "Whereas, the Department of Con- merce has been attempting to meet existing conditions by the establish ment of reserves in those districts most vitally affected and has already es- tablished several such, said reserves being necessary on account of the 1n- ability to secure a comprehensive fish cries code which could be readily ad- ministered and which would adequate ly protect these districts, and
 "Whereas, we understand the Secre, tary of Commerce has now before him a proposal for the extension of the boundaries of the Alaska Peninsula fishery reservation, said boundaries to be extended so as to include all waters of Bristol Bay north to Cape Newen- ham in Boring Sea and in the North Pacific ocean those waters including Cooks Inlet, Shelikof Straits and about Kodiak Island a section wherein the areas of which at present nearly three fourth of the red salmon of Alaska are produced.
 "Now, therefore, be it resolved that it is the sense of the American Fish cries Society, in convention assem- bled at Madison, Wisconsin, Septem- Der 6-8, 1922, that we heartily endorse the creation of the reserve referred to and our secretary is hereby instruct ed to send a copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, to the Secretary of Commerce, and to the United States Commissioner of Fish cries."
