REINOEER BILL IN CONFERENCE CHANGES MADE |Senate Approves Purchase of Half Million Dollars Worth of Animals (Continued 1rom Page One) the reindeer work in are now owned by natives, “To vide for the Eskimos and other natives of Alaska by cstab- lishing for them a permanent and self-sustaining economy.” The Bureau of the Budget in which than cthers subsistence ap- proved an item for this purpose in 5 the Interior Department appropria+ |tion estimates in the amount of a million gollars. However, when the subcommittee of the House Com- mittee cn Appropriations was dr; ing the bill to be reported to the House, some of the subcommittes members contended that more in- formation was needed as to the proposed purchasing program be- fcre setting up such an amount, and disregarding the arguments of Delegate Dimond and others who testified befcre it and urged the need for the full approp:iation as approved in the Budget, the com- mittee reported the bill out to the House with this item set at $50,000 “for an investigation.” Sum Is Increased As this figure was insufficient to even raake the necessary invel jes of the badly mixed herds of deer in the Territory, together with an accurate appreisal of property required in the reindeer business, which is now ownéd by others than nativ the Delegate succeeded in having this figure increased to $50,- 000 when the bill was up for amendments in the House. | Amendment Approved The Senate Committee on Appro- priations, when it got the bill from the House, decided that further in- vestigation of the industry was not required. and the thing to do now wes to place the Interior Depart- ment in position where it could actually commence to acquire non- native owned reindeer and equip- ment for the benefit of the na- tives. It was to do this that Sen- ator Hayden offered the committee amendment to be inserted in the bill in lieu of the item set up in the House. After a somewhat spir- ited debate the amendment was finally agreed to by the Senate. In addition to the authority giv- en the Secretary of the Interior to purchase reindeer and rahge equip- ment for the natives of Alaska up (o the amount of $500,000 the Sen- | ate amendment carries an appro- priation of $25,000 for the purchase and erection of range cabins, main- tenance of communications, and other equipment necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Reindeer Act. To safeguard the Government in making purchases of deer and equipment, the amendment. con- tains a provision that “an appraisal of such reindeer or range equip- ment shall be made by a committee consisting of a representative of the Department of the Interior, a representative of the Department of Agriculture and a third person not an employee of any agency of the Government 'to be selected jointly by the Secretaries of Inter- jor and Agriculture.” In order that there will be no possibility of the reindeer industry as administered by the Interior Department enter- ing into competition in the States with meat produced in the States, the amendment contains a stipula- tion that “no part of the appro- priation herein made or the amount authorized to be appropriated, shall be available for the purchase, rent- al, or acquisition of abbattoirs, cold- storage plants, and other facilities for the storage or shipment of reindeer meat.” The bill containing the amend- ment passed the Senate the next day, April 6, and will now go to conference. where the many dif- ferences it contains will be smooth- ed out through compromises be- tween members of the House and Senate who form the conference committee. If the item as amend- ed survives the conference there appears to be little doubt that it will be maintained in the bill. ————————— NOTICE All pecple having books out be- lcnging to Cosmopolitan Lending Li- |brary please return them at once to 119 Franklin St, adv., NEL T' GIT OUT NIGHTS .
