Smith, Robert S One of the Highly Prized ; Fish Said to Be Disappearing. Washington, Dec." 7. Propagation of the diamond-back terrapin by the Bureau cf Fisheries at Beaufort, N. C, for four years, has demonstrated that if promoted by the States it would prevent extinction or one of the country's most highly prized food animals. Nearly 31,000 youg have been taken from the Beaufort laying beds this year. The terrapin has been a source of income to fishermen all along the eastern and southern coasts. It is rapidly vanishing. There are five widely known diamond backs, the Carolina, Chesapeake, Louisiana, Flor ida and Texas terrapin.

Preliminary estimates place' the cost of conducting the government for the coming fiscal year 1918, ex clusive of the postal service which is expected to be self sustaining and other deductions, at $1,278,021,000. The ordinary receipts for the fiscal year 1918 he estimates at $995,5507000 which is $282,471,000 less than the estimated expense.

State highway commis sioner of Wisconsin, is the president of the congress and occupied the chair at the initial session held at. the Hotel Sherman today. Illinois Municipal League. Urbana, 111., Dec. 7. The third an nual convention of the Illinois Muni cipal League, which began at the University of Illinois today, ir, marked ! by a largo and representative attend- ciency of the great prosperity and expresses great est confidence for the future. "Dur ing the past year," the Secretary says, "the proafperity which set in so strongly during the fiscal year 1915 has grown in strength and volume and is now widely diffused through out the United States. Fundamental economic conditions have never been more sound. In all lines of industry efficiency of organization and produc lion have reached the highest point in the country's history. General con fidence in the future, healthful enter prise and development have been marked characteristics by the year. "The financial strength of the Unit ed Etates the greatest in our his tory gives us a commanding post tion in world finance. We have been transformed from a debtor into a creditor nation. On November 1 1916, the stock of gold coin and bui lion in the United States was estimat ed at $2,700,136, an increase of $714, 597,804 in the past 16 months. This is the largest stock of gold ever held in the United States or in any other country of the world. Through the operations of the Federal Reserve System and with out abundant supply of gold as a basis, the credit resour ces of the United States have become more than sufficient for home demand and we have been able to finance our rpat domestic and foreign trade without strain and to extend vast nmmintn of credit to oilier nations throughout the world. "The experience of the past two has hroueht into strong relief thP value of the Federal Reserve Svstem. It is not too much to say that our great prosperity could not evict wit-limit it. The usefulness of the system has been broadened re cently by the amediatory act of Sep tember 7, 11916, which renders it more attractive to member banks and in creases the scope and services of the Tnriorni rpsprve banks. Due to the transference of vault and other re reserves to Federal reserve banks, authorized by the original act and amendatory act, the resources of said banks are now more than $650,000, 000, while the total reserves held am over $400,000,000, and, in addition, more than $230,CO0,0CO is held by Federal reserve agents as special se Federal reserve notes.

The conclusion 13 irresistible that authorizations for public buildings in these small com munities are too frequently dictated by local, reasons and without regard to the best interests of the govern ment; The most serious aspect is this: The annual operation and maintenance of these buildings im pose on . the Treasury a permanent and Constantly increasing burden. Common sense and business judg ment would seem to demand that structures lor the transaction of gov ernment business should be authoriz ed only in localities where they are imperatively needed, and that build ings should not be erected where no public necessity can be shown. Thi.- result can be accomplished by divorc ing the public-building question from all local or political considerations and authorizing no public buildings until a thorough and intelligent inves tigation of eaeh proposed building or project has been made to this depart ment and a full report thereon has been submitted to Congress. If such reports were followed by the intro duction and passage of separate meas ures to cover each proposed building Droiect the abuses and evils of th omnibus-bill method would be eradi cated." The Federal War Risk Insurance bureau, Mr. McAdoo, says should be extended a year to September 2, 1913, since Congress might not be in ses sion next September and it would be mpossible then to continue the work f the European War is still in pro gress and serious injury to American business - might result. The report .ays up to November 17 nearly 1,700 oolicies were written by the Bureau Aith total risk of more than $14,610, 000 and losses amounting to $833,924. Premiums received amounted to $3, 142,525. In speaking of customs revenues, which increased about $3,400,000 over he previous year, the Secretary says he European conflict is still inter 'ering with such receipts. "Before the breaking out of the European war," says the report, "the amount of the collections indicated clearly that under normal conditions the present tariff will produce all the revenue it was estimated it would produce at the time" it was drawn, and since the war the receipts under the tariff bill have been all that could be expected." Mr. McAdoo points out that for the year the value of imports was about $484,000,000 greater than the previous year and those of exports $2,768,589, '340 greater. Congress is asked to amend the anti-narcotic law in view of the Su preme Court interpretation of the clause relating to druga in possession and to provide funds to care for drug addicts through government treatment. "To cut off suddenly the supply of drugs without curing the addict of his cravings or making any provision for the amelioration, of his suffer ings," says the report, "is not only in inmane but encourages evasions of he law. Appropriations are asked to enable he Public Health Service to prose cute investigation-of infantile paralys "s and for the aviation section of the Coast Guard, authorized but given no funds by Congress.
