FUTURE OF FOOD ADMINISTRA
TION
The food administration will last by
law until legal peace is declared by
the President. It will then automat
ically dissolve except as to obliga
tions entered upon, and these must
and will lie discharged either by the
food administration or by assigning
them to other departments of govern
ment. In the meantime the food ad
ministration does not intend to relax
its efforts in any direction.
The food administration Itself con
siders that the law as at present
i rained is purely a war measure, and
that its major provisions have no
place in the country except to serve
war i ml Whatever congress may j
decide as to the continuation after
peace of any of the measures now in
force must lie a matter of special
legislation, and the particular depart
ment that is to continue them will, no
doubt, be determined at that time.
Tin food administration in its func
tion of feeding people abroad has a
large- burden after the armistice than ,
before, and this burden will continue
until the next harvest. There will be
plenty of time between Ihc armistice
and peace to determine upon any de
tailed method of liquidation of the
war agencies of the government and
what measures must lie continued
throughout the reconstruction period.

The lover of small game- hunting

especially the birds are becoming mi

tfful there last fall, and this winter
ptarmigan and grouse are being no- ,
tired in larger number than for many
years. Limit hags are reported by
nearly all hunters Fairbanks Citi
zen.
Alaskans are beginning to awaken
to the value of their natural resources
and from every locality are heard de
mands that the ease tax on fish he in
creased, declares a coast editor. At
the present time the lax is -I cents
per case, which is considered a very
small amount when it is known that
the can tiers are receiving from $*> to
$X per cast* for canned fish. As the
labor is paid but $7d per month when
hired in the States, and from 40 to
:,0 cents per hour when hired in
Alaska, it can he seen what a good
thing \laska is to the hunch of out
siders looting her resources. It is be
lieved by many who are familiar with,
conditions that the tax should he not
less than 10 or I • > ( cuts per ease, and
possibly higher. Alaskans pay a tax
of 2 per cent on a ion per ent valua
tion on their prop. ? t> and the can
neries pay but I cent.-, on $0 worth
of property, making the p:oportion
far 4ess for the man who makes his
mone> here and lives Outside than
for the man who is here trying to
build up the country. Nenana News.
