u. S. POPULATION ESTIMAT-
Ed JAN. l WAS 114,3I1,O

The population growth Of the
United States is slowing up, in spite
of the fact that the number of peo-
pie in the country is placed at 114,-
311,00 for Jan. /, 1925, according to
the Bureau of Economic Research
Both the birth rate and the death
rate are falling the latter faster
than the former, while immigration
accounts for only one-ffth of the an
nual increase compares with esti-
mate of 112,684,00 on Jan. /, 1924,
and the census count of los, I'll 900
in 1920.
Estimated gain during 1924 was
1,627 900, 100000 less than the aver
age gain for five years.
In 1924 net immigration was 315,-
600, while births were 2,645,000 and
deaths 1,333,000.
Since 1911 the number of deaths
has tended to remain constant, while
births have increased by nearly IL
per cent and the population has
grown by some 20 per cent.
Thirty-eight out of evry hundred
persons are engaged in some gainful
occupation, that is working for d.
rect money income.
This study of population growth
was made by DR.. Willford ]. King.
He estimates, during 16 years, there
occurred more than 41,000,000 births
and 100000 deaths. 1t appears,
therefore, that the gain in popula-
ton from excess of births over
deaths was something over 10000
600, or more than three times the in
crease in population due to immigra-

FIRE PREVENTION RULES
FOR FOREST CAMPERS

1t is not difficult for anyone to be
careful with fire while in wooded
areas. Here are simple rules which
if observed will go far toward re-
ducing the appalling number of man
caused forest fires reported every
year.
/. Matches-Be sure your match
is out. Break it in two before you
throw it away.
2. Fobacco-Be sure that pipe
ashes or cigar or cigarette stubs are
dead before throwing them away.
Never throw them into brush, leaves
or needles.
3. Making Camp-Before building
fire scrape away all infammable
material from a spot 5 feet in diane
ter. Dig a hole in the center and in
it build your camp fire. Keep your
fire small. Never build it against
trees or logs or near brush.
4. Breaking Camp-Never break
camp until your fire is out-dead out.
5. Brush Burning-Never burn
slash or brush in windy weather or
while there is the slightest danger
that the fire will get away.
6. How to Put Out Camp Fire
Stir the Goals while soaking them
with water. Turn small sticks and
drench both sides. Wet the ground
around the fire. If you can't get
water stir in dirt and tread it down
until packed tight over and around
the fire. Be sure the last spark is
dead.

Certainly not the majority of or any thing like the majority of those who own nine tenths of the property, pay nine-tenths of the taxes and who alone can be depended upon to advance the best interest of Alaska. He will however, represent a few hundred ignorant and illiterate Indians who take no thought for the morrow and who, in their present sem-civilized condition are incapable of taking thought for the morrow.

TaXati0n-The Alaskan Poll Tax

The Alaskan poll tax and the annual license tax, imposed upon nonresident fisherman who visits the territorial waters to fish, are consti~ tutional.
 Hawk V. Alaska Packers Association, Adv Ops. 199, Sup. Ct Rep. 177.
 This decision resulted upon an action brought by fisherman California resident, who came to fish for four months within the waters of Alaska to recover from his employer amounts deducted from his wages to pay certain taxes imposed upon plaintiff by the Alaska Legisa ture The taxes the validity of which were thus

questioned were an annual poll tax of five dol lars imposed on every male person within the territory or waters of Alaska, and an annual license tax of five dollars upon every non-resi- dent fisherman. The District Court for the Northern District of California sustained tho taxes and judgment entered for the empOye was affirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court of the United States:
 MT. Justice McReynolds delivered the opinion of the Court. He said in part:
 Plainly, we think the Territorial Legisla tu1e had authority under the terms of the Organic Art to impose both the head and the license tax unless, for want of power, Con- gress itself could not have laid them by direct action. Citing cases)
 Appellant went to the Territory for the purpose of engaging in the business of fish ing and remained there for at least four months. He was not merely passing through not mere sightseer or tourist-but for considerable period while so employed en- jOyed the protection and was within the jur- isdiction of the local government. To re- qure him to contribute something toward it's support did not deprive him of property without due process of law within the Fifth Amendment. .
 We are not here concerned with taxation by a State. The license tax cannot be said to conflict with Sec 2, Art w. of the Con- stitutiOn-"the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunites of citizens in the several States" It applies only to nonresident fishermen; citizens of every State are treated alike. Only resi- dents of the territory are preferred. This is not wholly arbitrary or unreasonable, and we find nothing in the Constitution which prohibits Congress from favoring those who have acquired local residence and upon whose efforts the future development of the territory must largely depend.
 The case was argued by MT. II. w. Hutton fol the fisherman and by MT. John Rustgard, At torney General of Alaska, for the employer Am Bar Assn IT,

Y. M. C. A. PLANS COURSE ON
"HoW TO SELECT A Wife,

The Y. M. G. A, which has so many
good things to its credit, has launched
into an unknown sea. Taking cour-
age in one hand and lamp of learn.
ing, we imagine, in the other, local
branch of the organization recently
announced a course designed to pre-
pare bachelors for the serious task of
selecting the right kind OF wife.
The course, which aims to distrib-
ute knowledge of the economic, ply
Biological and psychological aspect of
marriage, as well as training in the
care and education of children" will
last for six weeks.
Alas, some OF us will think life
time too short to master such lessons,
and others in the light Of the moon
will cast six weeks aside as longer
than eternity.
But it's a course for the brave and
earnest at any rate, and perhaps those
who heed the directors advice for a
man to take second look at the girl
he anticipates marrying will reap
their reward and find the perfect wife
their studies deserve.
AS for the pessimists among us,
they will doubtless remain confined
in their ancient opinion that hanging
and wiving go by destiny.-Woman's

Savidge Acts to Save
Oyster Lands for State

In cancelling the oyster deed for
40.049 acres of tide lands sold under
the Bush act October 6, 1904, to Mark
H. Stanley Of Grand Junction, Colo,
Land Commission G. v. Savidge for
the first time In the states history
laid down the principle that II tide
lands are acquired for the purpose of
raising shellfish they must be used
for that and no other purpose.
Under the Bush act tide lands to be
utilized for growing shellflsh sold for
$125 an acre. The Stanley holdings
are located at the head of Hood Canal
In Mason County, In the vicinity Of
the states oyster reserves. 1t de.
veloped at hearing held by Commits.
sioner Sayidge that the lands had
been used for other purposes and rent
al collected for them. Thereupon the
deed was cancelled.
It is estimated that II the tide lands
were sold for general use they would
be appraised at from So to $40 per
chain. 1t is probable the lands in
question would be worth between 5000
and $1,000 for general commercial
purposes such as the location of a
booming ground for logging operators.
When utilized for oyster culture ex-
tensive improvements are required
and the state lang has followed the
policy Of encouraging the raising Of
shelltlsh by charging only nominal
fee for tide lands suitable for and
only used for that purpose. A 40.
acre tract under the Bush act would
only cost about $50. Commissioner
Savidge is determined that II the
lands are obtained cheaply they shall
be used only as the law directs.
