JUNEAU, May 1.-Governor Scott C. Bone vetoed the Senate Joint Res olution No. Two, by which Attorney General Rustgard was authorized to attack the validity of the Presidential orders creating fish reserves. declar ing the measure was returned without his signature because it oserrides Territorial law and would involve if effective an improbable if not hurt ful legal warfare, and actual waste oi public money, I disapprove and return the resolution"
 The Governor touched briefly upon the fish reserve policy, reiterating that it was adopted as a temporary expedient to meet and emergency, and said, whatever it's defects in opera ton repeat that obviously it's aims are for the public good. Any thought advanced or entertained in heat that the two reserves were fctitiously conceived and created to despoii the people of their rights and hand Alaska over to sordid interests is unworthy of sober consideration
 He referred to the contemplated visits of the President and Secretary Hoover, saying, Tt is not the part of wisdom to greet them with lawsuits, or good public policy to show hostility toward the Federal government when it is doing more today for Alaska than ever in the history of Alaska"
 The Senate declined to pass the resolution over the governors veto, the vote standing five for and three against it's passage, one less than the required number. Aver, Chamberlin, and Dimond voted against its passage.

 The revised fish tax bill was report ed carrying the following altered sal mon pack rates: On reds, Kings and sockeyes counted together, ba- sic rate of Is cents was made. Ad- .ditional taxes on all cases in excess of 25OOO and not more than 4O,OOO, five cents; 10000 to 5O,OO0, ten cents additional: 5O,00O to 60,0O0, fifteen cents per case additional; in excess of 6O.00O cases, twenty cents per case.
