AN ALASKAN GAME COMMISSION
(Hastings, Neb., Tribunc.)


 It is good to know that a bill has been introduced into Congress to es- tablish an Alaskan game commits siCn for the purpose of protecting game animals, land fur-bearng an inals, and birds in that Territory.
 The bill provides that the Alaskan game commission shall consist of five members, one member from the four Judicial Divisions of the Terri tory each of who shall be d resident citizen of the district from which he is appointed and shall, before his appointment, have been a resident for five years of Alaska. and shall not be Federal employee, and all Of whom shall serve one year, and threafter one to be appointed to serve one year, one to serve two years, and one to serve three years, ard one to serve four years, and thereafter their successors to be Sap- pointed in like manner to serve for four years. The fifth member shall te the chief representative of the Biological Survey resident in Alaska and fiscal agent of the commission and shall direct the administration of the provisions of the act and dis purse such sums as may he allotted therefor.
 The bill further provides that the members of the commission. other ceive no compensation for their ser vices as members thereof, except Fer deim of ten dollars for eacn member for each day going to and from and in actual attendance at L.eetings of the commission, but the tctal salary, or per diem compensa- ond Judicial Division shall not ex- ceed the sum of fifteen hundred dol lars and that of any of the other members, except the executive officer the sum of nine hundred dollars in any one fiscal year.
 The bill further provides that the n embers shall have authority to re- move game wardens, deputies, clerks and such other assistants as may be necessary to fix their periods of ser vice and compensation, etc.
 It also gives each member of the commission, game wardens. mar shals, and other officers. permission to arrest without warrant any per- sons in violation of the game law.
 It provides for the prohibiting of the poisoning of birds and animals.
 Residents of Alaska who desire to hunt or trap would be taxed two dollars annually for a license. but no such license is required of native 2horn Eskimos. Indians or half breeds.
 However, the bill would have the nonresident big game hunter pay . license of fifty dollars, and a noa- resident trapper the same.
 This ts c big mistake, because AL .aska has been trying to encourage hunters from the States to do their hunting up there. They realize that every hunter that goes up in their Territory from the States leaves hundreds and hundreds of dollars with them. This could be greatly increased annually if the license vas reduced to about twenty dol lars.
 It is carefully estimated that land fuF-bearing animals skins annually harvested in Alaska are worth more
