I'D hundreds of thousands of dollarsworth Oh s'anu
ing timber and destroy the tree-produclng capacity
of the land for a generation, and escape WIN no
punishment whatever.
1t is plain that the time is approaching wneh
some action in earnest must be taken to arrest .nis
destruction Forest property is becoming SO yaiua-
BILE that occasional showers of rain do not iui
adequate insurance against the fires when ac-
cdent or recklessnsss or stupidity UT
selfishness or malice may klndle. FOE
tho actual money value of the timber
swept away is only part of the loss incurred. Inc
depression in the general value of woodland prop
erty which this insecurity causes is serious matter
Still more disastrous IN the long run Is the alarm
with which capital shrinks from every experiment
and investment for producing new forests to supply
the place of those which are swept away. Sylvlcui-
ture Oh any considerable scale will never be under
taken until this fire risk IS reduced by systematic
legislation and awakened public sentiment. Inc
reduction of the danger from forest fires to MIN
irnum is needed, not only to encourage prohtaDie
industry, but to insure tho future supply OF an aD
s0lute necessity.

EORENT HIRES

Yesterdays rain was welcome not only TO grass
and grain whose roots had begun to feel the need
of mosturr. but il probably acted efectual
tingushcr to the forest fires which have been
reported desoating the woodlands in various
parts OF New England The destruction begins
early this year. The charcoal burner, the hunter,
the careless smoker, and perhaps the malicious in
cendiary, have started IN for summer business. The
farmer will fire his brush-heap on the forest border
and the locomotive will fling its sparks among
the dry leaves and millions of acres of tim
Der will be burned over before winter sets
I'm. And for all this destruction no one
will be held accountable. No Legislature will COM
pei railroad companies to provide their locomotives
with spark arresers, although the adoption of some
efficient oplance of this sort would save the
woods IN the greatest peril which threatens
them. tops and branches Of the timber felled
last winter still lie drying in tho most inilammable
condition, so that by midsummer they will
flash into oonflagration when touched
by chance spark. But no effort has been mado
in any State to compel tho removal Of this finder.

At a dinner given few nights since to one
of his fellow legislators, Speaker Chaplin re-

in the course Of lis speech he made this Ie-
mark The first thing that 1t seems to me
ought to be asked i'll connection with this
"Legislature or in connection with the record
of any body of men who have served the
"peope. the first thing if you wish TO know
whether, on the whole, it has been body the
people would be likely to approve, is whether
il was competentn This remark Of the
Speakers was in the nature OF preface to an
argument designed to prove that the Leglsla-
ture OF 1883 was competent.
Now assuming, Mr.. Speaker, for the sake of
argument, that the Legislature was competent,
how do you explain its failure to handle the
most important OF the public questions which
were pressed home upon its attention We
refer of course to the burning question of
taxation. The Governor in the message
which he submitted to this competent Leg
islature OH the ID of January last, employed
this plain, frank language:
The iniperfccton Of our Laws touching the matter OF
taxation the faulty execution OF existing statutes
the subject. Is glarngly apparent Tho power OF tho
state to exact from the citizen part OF his earnings
and income the support OF the Government it Is OBJ

pressed This furnishes the highest and the best
