THE FORESTS OF MEXICO.
Regions OF Aridity Have been Gre
ated by the Mnnton Destruo-
tfon OF Timber.

0ficials Of the republic who have care
fully studied the subject mention that
there were forests on the tablelands and
that rainfall was much greater years ago
than now. Tradition says that the Span
iards cleared away those forests. since
which the rainfall has been greatly d.
minished. Certain II is, there are now
no extensive forests on the great plains
OF Mexico. says Arboriculture
There are the remains Of great sys-
TENS OF reservoirs for irrigation. with
aqueducts Of brick supported upon
arches, which still remain. where the
water was carried through tunnels and
over valleys for long distances. but by
reason Of droughts and decreased pre-
cipitation these are now Of little or no
use.
Forests caanot exist without water.
Regular and coplous rainfall cannot pre-
vail without production Of forests.
Aridity Is invariably accompanied by
scant shrub growth. or entire absence Of
plant life.
When II IS considered that Mexico. es-
pecIally the southern portion, IS narrow,
with large oceans on either side. lying
in tropical region where evaporation Is
constant and extreme. the question nat
urally arises; Why is there not greater
precipitation why are there not large
trees and dense forests. which always
accompany moist tropic conditions? In
his history Prescott relates that at the
time OF the invasion there we're large
and dense forests. which were not un-
common upon the higher tablelands.
Have climatic changes occurred In
Mexico which destroyed the forestsi
And what caused the change? Or has
the destruction Of these great forests
caused the change and induced ariditys
II the former is correct there can be nc
remedy. All must be left 10 time and
the caprice OF nature TO effect change
But II the latter be the true diagnosis
then II Il within the power Of man to re-
place these forests and thus secure as
favorable conditions as existed before
the removal of the trees.
SPANS history has been one Of for
est destruction, and her climatic condi-
tion and agricultural degeneracy are the
result OF this indiscretion. Americans
have closely followed SPANS footsteps
and the great forests Of the United States
have been wantoniy sacrificed while the
results are daily becoming more appar
ent in drought and food.
With a wiser government than either
Mexico Is giving protection to her re-
naming timber lands, and will, In time
overcome the evils caused by acts Of
former generations.
The tropical forests Of Mexico occupy
the low coast lands and borders o.
streams at low attitudes The pine is
upon the elevated mountain tracts, whil'
tho great area OF the republic. the table
lands, Is practically bare Of valuable
timber trees. II is apparent that Mexico
has no timber to spare for export Hei
forest resources are none too great fol-
home consumption. A limited quantity
Of mahogany and especially tropical
hard woods along the coast will be ex-
ported as 1t is not available for economic
transportation to the interior.

Davenport, lowe, July 3o.-Goverpor A.
B, Cunarnins threw a. bomb shell into the
ranks Of the bankers Of Illinois and Iowa,
assembled in joint convention yesterday
afternoon, by vigorously reiterating his
reform views in an address which followed
that of Congressman Fowler He said in

We make a fundamental mistake in
assuming that. the same laws under which
period Of adversely. was transformed
into a period Of prosperity Will perpetuate
that prosperity In this era Of the world s
progress we do not simply repeat the ex-
periences Of q former time, but we move
forward developing new and wonderful
phases Of industrial and commercial life;
and it is almost uniformly true that the
prosperous years and not the years Of
adversely usher into5 existence the new
problems which. the. government must
meet. i: It therefore seems Illogical to shut
our eyes to these problems and wait with
fear, and trembling until paralysis over
takes US, and SO when least fitted for the
work we undertake reforms which we
seek to- - =. = 3.
This is the thought involved in my
subject. 1t is the conversation of pros
perity. It Is the doctrine Of stand pat,
and is exenplihed in the maxim which
has been somewhat famous. Let well
enough, alone. First 1t is Impossible to
predict with absolute certainty the effect
of a change In the law relating to the
business world and as the divine poet has
said, We prefer to suffer the ills we have
than fly to others we know not: Of, and
second, there are always many influential
persons who are reaping more than their
fair share of the harvest and they reason
that they would rather have all of the
few harvests than just proportion Of
many harvests. IS .s.z'. --..,..- l.. Z,
'.You know and I know that reform
in the laws touching currency is one Of
the things necessary and that the tor
tured body Of business attests it in the
agony of it's movements. Why is not
reform effected? You may tell me that
it is because the members of congress
cannot agree upon plan. But this will
be a superficial answer. There are differ
ences Of opinion. Men have always Diff
fered and always will differ upon such
questions. - - -. 49,: =
eff you will examine profoundly your
own hearts you will agree with me, that
the reason the Fowler bill or some other
bill Of like scope with a, like general pur-
pose was not adopted by the last ses-
sion Of congress was because there were
too many members who wanted to stand
pat and were determined to let well
enough alone. The real spirit that stands
like a giant in the way Of progress In
this direction is the conservatism of
prosperity" - ~ -.
