the value and disposal of the fee sim
pie estate. Besides, there is legal
limit to all contracts affecting lands
No real estate may be tied up for
more than a life or lives in being and
ten months and twenty-One years
thereafter. As the law is thus partic'
ular as to lands there can be no ques-
ton that it would fix the reasonable
time limit on all contracts for the
removal Of timber, especially when a
failure to remove operates both in re-
straint of trade and as an injury to
the freehold
Moreover, we dare say these tim
Der contracts call for the timber stand

is unreasonable to suppose that they
convey the right to remove present
timber, and also that which may grow
upon the land in future years. We
understand that once the timber pur-
chaser has exercised his right and
cut over the land it is the end of his
right. He may not return in twenty
years and collect another harvest, con-
ssquently he has no legal right to any
timber save that which is timber upon
the day he purchases.
In the nature of things. then, he
ought to be made to exercise this right
within the reasonable time, else he
will receive a future growth which he
did not pay for when he bought the
stumpage.
1t is possible that the courts have
not been called on to grant relief from
the distressing conditions described
by our correspondent. We feel con
fident, however, that some relief is
available. If 1t is not, then our cor
respondents suggestion that the leg
islature be called on to intervene is
both timely and wise.

can keep up with the procession, or

Railroad Defiance of Law
Should Be Made Criminal

Il Is an unusual thing for Senator's
Tillman and Lodge to agree upon any
subject but they seem to be Of one
mind upon the question OF railroad
rate legislation, according to the fol-
lowing article which appeared in a
recent issue of the Philadelphia In
ouirer:
Senator Tfllman is not a man who
can be safely followed as a rule. He
Is one Of those persons who reform
the world 10y destroying It and build
ing all over again. Thus his extraV-
agance Of language is not always TAX
en seriously. But sometimes he says
things that mean something.
For instance, while discussing the
resolution to instruct the Interstate
Commerce Commission to investigate
the coal monopoly and its relations
20 the railroads. he declared that 80
long as crimes committed by railroad
magnates are overlooked and the en-
forcement of law is ineffective, it
makes no difference what kind Of laws
you pass. You will never stop this
railroad devilment until YOU put some
millionaire in jail and force him 10
wear the stripes Of a criminal"
That was his way Of putting II. but
did he go a step further than the con-
servative Senator Lodge. Of Massa-
chusetts? Mr.. Lodge did not shoot
of any fireworks, but his cool Ian
guage was just as effective, more so,
in fact, coming from such an unex-
peCted source.
I'VE should restore the former pen
alties Of the Interstate Commerce
law which should not have been re-
pesled and make these secret eva.
sions o. the published rates punish
able by Imprisonment" he said. And
ne went on:
The men who perpetrate these eva
gfons in defiance Of the law suffer but
little ny a fine, even If it be a heavy
one. Their resources are too large to
make a money penalty A serious one.
For this very reason they are persons
who would feel acutely a punishment
by imprisonment and that penalty
ought 10 be provided in any law which
IS passed"
FOR once Tinmsn and Lodge agree
and the public will stand with both Of
them.

CONDITIONS IN
TIMBER COUNTIES
Memphis CommercialAppeal.
sxR@sxxssag3ss@gasaAss@ssaEas.a&2aassaas.a1s.s.s

In his interesting communication on
Timber Lend Monopolies" in M1ss's-
sfUpi, Lee Jackson of Summit, Miss,
disclOses distressing condition OF
affairs in some of the timber countess
He says the owners Of the land nav
ing sold timber rights to synd1cateS
find themselves unable to clear land
for farming because the timber pur-
chasers decline to remove the TIMBER.
He declares that many OF the larger
purchasers of these rights are simply
holding their purchase for an indeti-
mite period, or until the stumpage
they have bought shall reach figures
satisfactory to them.
We can hardly conceive how sensi-
BILE men-and we know the iand-own-
ers of Mississippi have a full share OF
intslligence-cOUld sell the right to
cut timber without specifying in the
contract a time limit for is removal.
Mr.. Jackson, however, describes a con-
dition which, if he is correct, leads
to the belief that large areas Of this
land are forced to continue in a state
of nature because the timber pur-
chasers can not be competed to gath
er the crop they have bought
Something must be rat;cally wrong
here. Certainly the contract does not
plainly state that the timber is to be
removed only at the will scd Pleas
ure of the purchaser. Unless an OPP
ton OF this kind in the purchaser Is
emphasized in the contract We think
no court would be apt to infer its ex-
istence. Even with this option plain
~ stated it is questionable if it could
or should hold in court of equity.
Years ago entails were broken in
England because real estate thus tied
up was looked upon as blighted to
progress. We believe a similar view
would be taken by the court Of any
contract which carried with it unrea-
sonable time conditions depressing

he will learn to behave himself some
