The question of expenses is covered by the coopera-

as expenses are concerned, Forest officers are concern- 
ed with Sec. 41 (N. Mex.) and Sec. 38 (Ariz.) on1', 
Both Secs. 41 (N. Mex.) and 38 (Ariz.) provide in 
effect that deputy state game wardens acting under ad- 
vance authority from the State Game 17arden shall re- 
ceive a per diem (salary), and be reimbursed for actual 
necessary expenses, out of the game protection fund,

accepting any per diem or salary, they are concerned 
only with that part of the state laws pertaining to en-
