TALKED ON FORESTRY.
Senate Committee Is Preparing
for n Fuller DiScuSSiOn

Senate Committee Is Preparing
for n Fuller Discussion.
The senate committee on forestry
took up several bills yesterday. The
first was Senate File As, introduced by
Senator Alien. 1t provides for fire
commissioner, fire wardens, penalties.
duties of railroad companies in prevent
ing forest fires and disposition or the
fines. Senator Allen appeared before
the committee and explained the differ
ent bills before the committee. He
said that 10 one would dIspdte
the necessity OF adopting some measure
to prevent forest fires, and the only
question was as 10 methods. at pres
tut there is no appropriation enabling
officials to take steps towards prevent
ing iires. Tie present laws are III such
shape as not to be effective. Senator
Aliens bill provides that the fire COM
missioner shall be appointed by the
governor. Senator Allen said that the
people in The timber district did not
care WHO was appointed SO long as they
we've sure that he would do effective
work. He did not favor placing the
power III the hands OF the secretary or
the forestry association as provided TOT
iii one bill. He took a deep interest III
the matter because he came from
town that was so situated that 1t could
be destroyed just as Hinckley was de-
strOyed. The present secretary OF the
forestry association might be all right,
but there was nothing sure as TO his
successor whenever he gave up the
office for any reason.
ten. Andrews appeared before the
GlpSflOnS
garding which he was primarily +
spUnsible for. He explained the laws
that were III force in other states in re-
spcct to forestry. The Allen bill con-
tanned the best features of these other
laws, with what was suggested by
criticism and experience. 1t met with
general approval of lumbermen and
railroad officials, and it was important
to secure their cooperation.
The members of the committee
looked with favor on the bill, but
thought that it was not stringent
enough. Senator Stevens and others
thought that the offenSes mentioned in
the bill should be made subject pen
ally.
A number Of parties desired to be
heard Oh the matter. and no action was
taken yesterday, except TO order the
bill printed, together with forestry
report which Senator Allen submitted,
a compendium OF the laws OF different
states on forestry, and the discussion
had on forestry at the st. Paul Com
merciaI club.
All Of these will be printed in pam.
phlet form if the recommendation of
the committee shall be adopted, and the
whole matter referred back TO The
same committee for further discussion,
and to report on the best means of Sc
curing a much-needed protection Of
forests, etc.

| LESSON FOR FRBE-TRADERS.

Mr. Larke, the Canadian envoy who has
been trying to induce the people of New
Zealand to enter into reciprocal free-trade
relations with Canada. has not found the
ready agreement that he may have ex-
pected. Even his appeal that such re-
procity would be another ''silken bond"
to hold the colonies together in the en-
pire mas been fiouted, and his arguments
that the trade would be beneficial have
been met by the reply that the benefits
would accrue wholly to Canada and at the
expense of New Zealand.
The Auckland NeWS, in commenting upon
the proposition, says: at is pretty clear,
and the public has voiced the fact with no
uncertain sound, that the introduction of
Canadian pine free of customs, or its in
PRODUCTION practically free of freight, by
heavily subsidized steamers, would be
equally ruinous to all concerned in any
way with the timber interests and furni-
ture and wood works of New Zealand. 1t
is not that we think that absolutely free
ports would be an injury to any country,
but if our workers and our traders are
heavily taxed on all the necessaries of life,
and then have to go into competition with
the low priced and Chinese labor that
fells the forests and works the mills on the
forest frontages of the deep sea sounds
and rivers of British Columbia, they will
be simply driven out of their own field"
The New Zealanders, it appears, have
learned the lesson that our free-traders are
too stupid to learn, even after the hard
experience of the two years of depression
New Zealand not even to maintain the
''silken bond of the empire" will surrender
her industries to the ruinous competition
OF Chinese labor and subsidized steamers
in British Columbia. With her people
business and sentiment are not mixed with
folly. They are willing enough, doubt
less, to maintain the British empire, but
they intend to maintain New Zealand in
dustry along with it.
The Democratic free-traders have ex-
posed our lum Der industry at close range
to the very competition which the New
Zealanders object to, even when protected
by the immense distance that lies between
them and their would-be rivals. Although
there is now an urgent need for greater
revenues, these free-traders of ours are
still opposed to raising that revenue by
customs duties that. would afford protec-
ton to our wool and lumber. It is GER
tainly strange folly that has rendered so
many otherwise intelligent America MS
more devoted to British ideas of free trade
than even the British colonists them
selves.

THE CALLS" STERLING VALUE
Oakland Daily News.


In yesterdays News appeared an article ad-
dressed to business men, showing how neces-
sary it is that the latter should show some
sympathy for and interest in men who are
struggling to live by their labor in spite of the
crushing inroads of labor-saving machinery
upon their source of income.
That the gravity of the situation was not
overstated and that the News, and labor gene
rally, is not without friends and Endorsement
in this matter, is clearly shown by recent
action in San Francisco. The San Francisco
CALL, which is now by tar the ablest
and best newspaper on the coast, has
contracted with the Typographical, Union
not to put in typesetting machines for
year and half. 1t was led to
this action by the consideration that labor must
liue matter to which 1t mould be toel for them If
its contemporaries aCoald occasionally 1iue q
thought. This course upon the part of THE CALL
will keep employed and able to live some
seventy-fve or eighty men, whereas the intro
duction of machines would have left but ten or
fifteen with a source of livelihood from their
labor. This is a matter that means much to
the men, and also to those business men Of
whom they buy their supplies, for neither of
these classes can live comfortably unless the
other is prosperous. For this action alone, to
say nothing OF its sterling value as n news
paper, THE CALL should have the united and
active support OF all classes of labor on the

for the organization of irrigation districts
and for taxation of property to pay the

necessary works. The act is copied after
the California law the constitutionality of

Taken in connection with the announce
ment that "the constitut;onalitv of Ne
braska's irrigation law has been sustained
by the Supreme Court" the news looks
straight and intelligent. 1t means to say
that the State OF Nebraska, recognizing the
necessity OF irrigation and of laws to pro-
vide for meeting the necessity, has not
only followed the law of California but also
the decisions CT our courts upholding the
law, Judge Ross and his famous adverse
decision to the contrary Notwithstanding
1t means, further, that the States which
know what they want and have the intelli-
gence to go about securing it have courts
in sympathy with their necessities. And
they are giving the Federal courts to I'M
derstand that there is such a thing as
lmpertinent meddling in State affairs.

the record, for he has recently increased the
receipts of the railroad company by something
like $4,000 on an investment of $50.
The opportunity does not occur very often
where an expenditure of $50 in judicious adj
vertising will bring about $50 900 in cash re-
suits. The Southern Pacific Railroad owns q
branch line running from Los Angelesl to
Santa Monica, seaside resort, where the rail-
road owns mammoth wharf and big Motel.
One day recently some fishermen discovered
a whale struggling in the shallow waters OF the
Southern California coast, not lar from san
Pedro, fishing town near Santa Monica. j.
NJ. Crowley, the Southern Pacific freight and
passenger agent at Los Angeles, thought the
big carcass would be good attraetit n at santa
Monica and, after some trouble, succeeded IN
renting the whale for one week for the sum OF
$50. The huge carcass was toWed TO santa
Monica and landed in shallow water, so that
the multitudes who would come might get an
excellent view-and smell-of the monster. A
number OF people in Los Angeles heard OF the
capture and paid 80 cents to ride to SANTA
Monica to take in the sight. The traffic was
not as large us Crowley hoped for, however,
and it looked as ii the $50 would be losing
venture.
The genius then appeared in the person of
William III. Mills, who had arrived III Los
Angeles in his special car on tour OF inspec-
ton of the compeny's property Mr. Mills has
solved difficult problems for the Southern Pa
cfc in the past and he solved this one for
Crowley. He suggested q little advertising.
The plan was agreed upon. Mr.. Mills said
$50 in advertising would pay big returns. So
he wrote out two-inch display for the news
papers. Then Mr.. Mills wrote poster for the
Los Angeles deadwails and billboards. The
poster would have put circus advertising
man to the blush. Los Angeles papeTed
from Que end to the other. On the following
day, which happened to be Sunday, the South
ern Pacific ran thirty-three special trains TO
Santa Monica and carried 5000 people at so
cents per head to see the decaying carcass of
the whale which Mr.. Crowley had rented
for $50.
The rush continued for week or more, and
altogether some 10000 people visited Santa
Monica TO see the whale, and the company
gathered in 80 cents from every one of them.
Upon an investment of $50 in advertising,
therefore. some $4,000 was realized from
railroad fares.-Wiil NJ. Clemens in Fame.

FREE PUBLIC MARKET.
San Diego Union.


The question of establishing free market is
being agitated in San Francisco. The project
is an outcome of the present discussion of the
subject OF middlemen's profits. Agricultursts
all over the State as well as in San Francisco
complain that they are unable to obtain any
thing like fair returns for their products. The
consumer on the other hand declares that
when he purchases commodities which net the
growers next to nothing, he has 10 pay prices
which should mean an enormous profit For
example, in San Francisco people who
have grapes on their tables pay for them
at the rate of 800 to $500 per ton. The
housekeeper buys potatoes at 80 cents sack,
which would mean nearly 500 per acre to the
farmer if the profit went to him. And so it is
with other commodities and these conditions
apply to avery great extent to the entire State.
The idea of the free market is to pay the grower
more literally, while at the same time cheap
ening commodities to the consumer. The mat
ter is being seriously considered at San Fran
cisco and it would not be surprising if it were
to result in the establishment of a free market.
If such should prove the result the experiment
would be watched with interest and should it
be successful there is little doubt that like in
situations would be established in other cities
