Among the policies enunciated by the resolutions was the federation's opposition to' strikes and lockouts. Further, the resolutions declared the federation's opposition to what it eald seemed to be the policy of the treasury department and the federal reserve board for deflation, and the request was made that bankers and merchants extend farmers' obliga tions to secure "immediate relief from the present economic crisis" confronting the farmers. Drastic Deflation Opposed. In this connection the resolutions said: We are opposed to the policy of drastic and precipitate deflation which seems to have been Instituted by our federal reserve board and' our treasury department, and look upon It aa dangerous to the beet In terests of the entire nation during- the present crisis. Reasonable contraction was necessary, but drastic deflation, aa now practiced', has caused widespread disaster. We request the sincere co-operation of all banking and commercial interests in our effort to set immediate relief from the present economic crisis, by the extension and renewal of farmers' obligations in order that there may be orderly marketing of thla year's crops. The adoption of the resolution, which it was announced .was by an unanimous vote, preceded the closing session tonight of the convention, at which officers were elected.

During discussion of the resolutions Mr. Cunningham, chairman of the res olutions committee, said that the ex port corporation was not indorsed by the committee because it will be a private institution, in which connec tion he also stated that the resolu tions similiarly were silent as to the joint stock land banks.

In the declaration of principles of - the federation, the resolutions in cluded requests and demands upon several federal agencies, as well as the reference to strikes and lock outs. Sympathy was expressed for the laboring man, but the resolutions said "we are unalterably opposed to organized strikes and sympathetic lockouts which interfere with the orderly conduct of business."

The new . district will Include the Tongass forest, south eastern Alaska, and the Chugach for est on Prince William sound, now a part of th north Pacific district, in charge of District Forester Cecil of Portland. The move, according to Assistant District Forester Waha of Portland, is part of the' policy of the forest service to get the administration 'of the national forests as near the actual ground as possible. In " the case of the Alaskan forests the move is considered by Mr. Waha a a pre liminary step in the development of th pulp resources of the far north. The Alaskan district will pass un der control of District Forester Flory, for the pasf two years superintend ent of Alaskan forests, with, head quarters at Ketchikan. Mr. Flory will retain his office at Ketchikan until July 1, when they will be trans ferred to Juneau, the designated headquarters of the new district. All Interests Accord. The establishment of the new dis trict comes almost simultaneously with the authorization by President Wilson of an inter-department com mittee at Washington to co-ordinate federal activities dealing with Alaska. This move is counted one of the most promising yet made by the govern ment in its efforts to develop the territory of Alaska. The forest serv ice is in complete accord with the movement to correlate Alaskan ac tivities. ' . The Alaskan national forests are looked upon as one. -of the Herritory's greatest assets and are expected-to increase its stable population. While the department of agriculture is ent deaVoring to increase crops and live stock, to promote the reindeer indus try and perpetuate the fur industry, it Is centering more attention at present on the development of forest resources, with particular regard to the pulp industry. Timber tTnder U. S. Control. Practically all the timber of the region is under control of the gov ernment. In its efforts to attract outside capital to the pulp and paper producing" resources of the region the government is locating power sites and plotting adjacent timber tracts, offering to the pulp-producing con cerns enormous supplies of timber with ample water power for all needs. The Tongass forest alone, ac cording ' to the report of Secretary Meredith, can produce 1,600.000 tons of newsprint yearly for an indefinite period. In addition It can supply sufficient saw timber for local needs. MOTORISTS' FOE BEATEN EX-MAYOR WHO TRAPPED AUTOISTS LOSES AT TCKWILA. People Prefer to Pay Own Taxes Instead of Tricking Those Who Pass Through Town. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.) Only about 175 votes were cast at Tuesday's election at Tukwila, but In former years, as many motorists know to their sorrow, Tukwila had the lowest tax rate in the world, be cause all of its expenses were made by the simple means of holding up automobiles on the Pacific highway and fining them $25 apiece for speed ing. Inasmuch as there was no way of telling where the town of Tuk wila began, it was difficult for motor ists to know where they had to cut down from the highway limit of 30 miles an hour to Tukwila's 20 so tire town waxed fat and prospered. But two years ago E. F. Greene went up for election as mayor on a liberal ticket, and after winning, in augurated an administration that haa elected to collect its expenses from its citizens rather than its visitors. This year F. H. Stevens, the man who as mayor had Installed the auto mobile trap, was nominated to head the people's ticket, and it was a mat ter of common knowledge that the tax rate . would go down if he were elected. But the people had evidently felt conscientious qualms over the treat ment that had been handed the stranger within . their gates, because they re-elected Greene and the entire citizens' ticket by about two to one.
