INCONSISTENCIES
Recent dispatches detailed the work of the Alaska
Game Commission with respect to planting exotic ani
mals in Alaska, such as buffalo, deer and elk, along with
transplanting mountain sheep, etc.
But what about the steady encroachment upon the
rights of resident Alaskans with arbitary and unwork
able rules such as might fit an old state, but which have
no place in Alaska? What about adopting the attitude
that every man trapping fur or dealing in it has larceny
or worse in his heart, and under this assumption and its
application, is rapidly creating a bootlegging situation
equal to that characterizinz liquor?
Like the use of liquor, the man who is compelled to
turn to the trap line for a living, considers lifting illegal
fur not as a moral offense, but has the added argument
that necessity knows no law. For that reason such rules
as closing the season on certain furs while others may be
taken are defeating the primary purpose of conserva
tion. In taking fur of every variety, the trapper spreads
his activites over a wide area, taking some of each. When
restricted to one or two varieties, he traps intensively,
hence what is claimed to be a decimation of certain furs
may be traced to this cause. When a man is compelled
to confine himself to one or two varieties, he will exert
himself to take as many as possible.
From time to time individuals come in with stories
of abuses of the privilege of beaver trapping. When
traced, these rumors are like the legend of the “Three
Black Crows;” it is hearsay, and generally circulated by
someone who is not and will not trap, owners of fur
farms and others, jealous when they hear of some in
dustrious citizen coming in with something more than
his grubstake for his sacrifices and hardship.
New Orleans judge assessed a fine of five cents
against a prisoner who had only a dime. Another varia
tion of the new “five-and-ten” law.
FAMOUS HOUSE TO BE MOVED

SENATE PROGRAM '

HOST OF PROPOSALS FACE A
DOUBTFUL FUTURE BE
FORE THE SENATE <
WASHINGTON, April 24, (/Pi
Immigration, prohibition, flood re- I (
lief and a host of other proposals, 1
pushed before the senate in the
early days of the extra session,
settled behind a restricted pro- 1
gram and face a doubtful fu
ture. )
Senator Heflin of Alabama show <
ed the senate that his plan for
a restricted session, was applica
ble for legislation and not for de
bate. He held the floor two hours
appealing for the adoption of the j
resolution condemning the treat- \
ment accorded him at Brockton, j
Mass., where he made a Ku Klux
Klan speech.
The farm bill got a start when
the resolution was put aside and
reached an amendment made by \
the house. j
The farm relief bill is now in
first place on the administration
program in the senate. How ,
long the debate’ will run is
problematical. The administra- j
tive bills of the 1930 census and
the reapportionment of the house, I
await consideration.
