Restitution have long since been ex- hausted, and already the sum of $25 100000 has been borrowed upon the personal credit of individual members of the Territorial Welfare Board, and this will not be nearly sufficient The head of the Welfare Board has deferred drawing any salary for several months in order that the money may be used for re- lief.
 Alaska can take care of it's own needy, but most destitute persons of the thousands now here are trans tents and not residents of the Terri Cory. They have come here within the past twelve months seeking work. They belong in the States. The matter of their relief, there fore, should be the task of the feder- al government
 There is enclosed herewith a res Clution passed today by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. We under stand similar action will be taken by all other Chambers of Commerce in the Territory, so widespread is the feeling of helplessness ln dealing with relief of the outsiders Hooking to the Territory.
 We respectfully urge immediate consideration of this matter, and most respectfully request that you refer it to the appropriate depart ment with instructions to make available at once some government vessel in order that residents of the States who are now stranded here may be taken back to their homes, and we further respectfully request that you call this matter to the at- tention of Congress as soon as it convenes, with the request that a special appropria ton of $50,000,00 be made at once to reimburse the Territory for funds already expend- ed for relief of outsiders.
 We are sending copies of the en- closed resolution and of this letter to the Chairman of the Committees on Territories of the House and Sen ate, to the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior, and to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond

 A copy of the letter to the Presi- dent reads:

 Dear Sir:
 On November 26th last Acting Governor E. w. Griffin received a telegram from Congressman Charles A. Buckley of New York asking his coopera tion in evolving a plan for the settlement in Alaska of politi- cal refugees from Europe
 On November 28th Acting Cover nor Griffin telegraphed Congress- man Buckley as follows:
 Even though Alaska is a large Territory, 90 percent of the em- ployment is confined to mining and fishing, both of which are seasonal, providing employment for only six months of the year. Present devel- opment through lack of capital can not absorb the influx of unemployed from the States now here and. fed eral funds are required to supple ment the Territory in development work which is slow There, as much as we would like to help in the dis dressing Situat ation we cannot see how we could add to our already heavy unemployment problems"
 The suggestions of Congressman Buckley has focused the attention of all the people of Alaska upon the already grave and serious problem of caring for thousands of unem- ployed persons and their families who have come to Alaska within the past two years seeking living, and for whom no work is available
 The incorporated towns in Alaska where these persons are congregat- ed-as there are no other places where they can obtain shelter-are utterly unable to provide for them. The funds appropriated by the last | Territorial legislature for relief of

suit from decreased production and not from lower tax rates. They would not necessarily mean declin- ing values, because the tax on canned salmon, the most important factor in fisheries revenues, is based on volume rather than value of pro- duction.
 Mining recelpts Snown in the sec ond strip declined gradually from 1919 to 1883, inclusive, and have shown a gradual increase to the end of the period.
 Receipts from fur licenses and pelt taxes, are shown from 1921 to 1928, this schedule ending in the latter year.
 Receipts from automobile licenses show a consistently steady growth.
