AN ECONOMIC CRIME

How generally ignorance and fanati-
cism still influence strengholds in vari-
Gus sections of the South is shown by
the strange stories which come of the
spread of peculiar form of economic
madness that finds expression in the
willful destruction by the planters of a
acts are voluntary. Planters are dis
couraged by the prevailing low prices
for raw cotton, although these are much
higher than they were comparatively a
few years ago. They have got just SO
far in the alphabet of economics as to
understand that price is dependent
upon the relation of demand and sup
ply. Demand not being capable OF
present increase. they reason that
prices can be raised or maintained only
by cutting down the supply. To do this
they think that a certain amount of
cotton must be taken out of the market
permanently, and each of them con-
tributes a share of his crop to the sac
rifice.
One cannot but feel pity for these
ignorant people, who are actually de-
stroying a share of their own wealth
in the fatuous belief that it will con-
tribute to the general good. They argue
that by this means they will enhance
the price of the remainder of their
holdings, but are more moved by the
| thought that millions of producers of
cotton through all the Southern states
will be benefited by their act. 1t is a
kind of altruistic frenzy, based upon
the crudest fallacies. 1t reminds one Of
those terrible instances in which some
father, crazed by religious fanaticism.
takes the life of his child in some vain
notion of expiation.
Of course, to back this proceeding. Not
enough cotton will be destroyed in this
fashion to make the slightest appre-
ciable effect upon the market, and
those who burn part of their crop sim
ply sacrifice that much of the results
of their labor without benefit to 9TH
ers or to themselves. 1t is perfectly
clear that the total value of a crop
cannot be increased by any such
means. The subtraction of portion
of it from the worlds supply will not
raise the value of the remainder TO an
amount in excess of what the value of
the original supply would have been
at the original price. To believe that
you can create wealth in this fashion

A MODEST DEMAND

The Clio b e has already put itself
on record as strongly in favor of an
appropriation by the state in aid of the
development of it's waste lands for for
estry purposes. The forestry board will
ask for a modest appropriation to i'm
prove the lands in the Pillsbury re-
serve and the 10000 acres of land
granted by congress for forestry pur-
poses. This money ought to be granted
Further than that, we feel that the
state ought to inaugurate definite
and final policy along this line. It
should establish a permanent, continu-
ing fund, so that a minimum ascer-
tanned amount could be depended upon
each year available for reforesting. No
investment could produce for the peo-
pie such sure and great returns.
We have discussed this subject in
such detail that only recapitulation is
needed here. The state can easily Sc
cure on account of delinquent taxes or
by direct arrangement with the pres
ent owners, for mere song an i'm
mense quantity Of land from which
standing timber has been removed
This land is now worthless. The hold
ers cannot use it, the state derives
from it no revenue. A small sum of
money expended each year in restor-
ing to forestry uses a portion of this
tract by planting it with trees and by
caring for the young growths that have
already sprung up, will start new plan
tations all over the forestry area prop
er. In a incredibly short time, as the
life of state goes, almost without ex-
to do her work, Minnesota will again
come into the possession of a mighty
resource This time, however, instead
of being subject to private appropria-
ton and reckless destruction for the
immediate enrichment of favored indi-
viduals, it will become the common
property of all. Simply by pursuing a
steady policy, acting intelligently with
nature and spending a few thousand
dollars a year, we may provide for the
next generation fund SO vast that it
cannot now be estimated. All this is
involved in the adoption of a fixed and
rational forestry policy such as will be
suggested to the next legislature. We
bespeak for it a most cordial and in
terested hearing and the favorable ac-
| ton of our representatives.

Contemporary Comment
Enough of War

The movement for court of law
as final resort for disputing nations
has within the year become practical.
Practical men have come to believe
that war, having served its usefulness,
must end it's curses. 1t was part of
the system of transition from savagery
to barbarism and from barbarism to
civilization. The human mind and not
the forces that mark the brute in men
must henceforth control the destinies
OF men and aggregations of men called
nations. A false shame against
sheathing them holds the knives of
the Russian and the Japanese at each
others throats.-New York American.

SATURDAY, DEC. 81, 1904
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE

We of the West scarcely realize how
completely government by the people
has vanished from the older common
wealths of the East, where machine
methods in politics have reached their
highest development. Pennsylvania
has been mockery in this respect for
many year. But New York has been
different. Next after Massachusetts it
was the home of the independent voter.
Its people were supposedly intelligent,
high spirited, unused to the yoke and
determined to have something to say
about the direction of their own af-
fairs. They put men up and put them
down according to their merit or de-
merit. While the political machine has
been Brought to great perfection there
and has operated within both parties
for many a year, it has always done so
subject to advice and with necessary
caution. The machine itself might be
smashed at any moment, and has met
that disaster more than once.
Now all seems to have been changed
Pennsylvania itself could not do better
than New York has in the choice of a
United States senator. 1t was under
stood that this was settled as long ago
as the meeting of the state convention
to nominate a candidate for governor
. At that time the old leaders had back
seat. Young blood and new blood came
to the front, and Senator Depew's term
of official life was supposed to be at an
end. This may have been wise or un-
wise, but the important point about it
was that it was at least an expression
of the will of the people. They, through
their delegates and representatives, as
serted what they wanted and did not
want, and the party action was ap-
proved at the polls by an immense ma
jority.
Now, in advance of the assembling
of the legislature, the senatorship has
been definitely settled. Senator Depew,
who was supposed to have been beaten
and to be out of the race, will succeed
himself. The announcement is made
with as much conclusiveness as if a
board of directors of a business cor
poration had met and elected busi-
ness manager. Senator Depew says
that he is "it." Gov. Oden formally
announces that Mr.. Depew will be
elected. Mr.. Black, the rival candidate,
publicly withdraws. Everything has
been determined, and yet the caucus
of Republican legislators which is to
choose a candidate for senator viii not
be held for more than two weeks to
come
Where do the people come in? AS
already stated, we are not quarreling
with the result. Mr.. Depew is quite an
ideal senator for the Republican party.
He represents as well as a man could
its present attitude and tendencies. He
will make no trouble for the trusts.
He will not try to mitigate the horrors
of the tariff. He will sit in his seat
and vote with the Republican majority
every time, and find a witty reason for
letting monopoly alone The point we
make is that in this selection of a SEN
ator the people have had no voice. 1t
has been determined by little con-
clave of men who run the great state
of New York as absolutely as if. they
had deed Of gift to it in their posses
