a UTILITARIAN DREAM.

A dream of utilitarianism of the
most splendid aspect is suggested in
the proposal now before congress to
abolish the timber and stone act by
which millions of acres have been
wrested from the public domain, and
instead of. disposing of land in this
way, to dispose of the ripened and
mature timber, at thousand feet rates.
the government to plant two trees in
place of every ripened tree cut down.
In this way the young timber would
not be destroyed, The land would
remain the perpetual property of the
government. Stock would be allowed
to Craze in the vast reserves, and
constant supply of young timber for
commercial purposes would be per-
petually coming into maturity.
1t would stop the alarming waste
of timber which impoverishes the
mountains under the present system.
1t would stimulate the government to
the highest effort in keeping alive
the thrifty and growing timber and
would yield an income from the rip
ened timber several times larger than
the price now received from the sale
of the land.
In addition to these advantages it
would also preserve the water
sources in the high mountains. 1t
would protect the future against the
avarice of the present and would in
sure plentiful supplies of fuel saw
timber, building material and rail-
road ties for all time, since the supply
would be replenished as rapidly as
the old trees became of commercial
size and quality, and were sold to saw
mill companies.
1t is a woeful and disgraceful waste
to impOverish the great forest ranges
DIS We uO NhV pANSNhN tiAiiDN'
laws. Corporations have come into
possession of millions of acres of vir-
gin timber which the future will have
sore need of.
The selfishness of the corporations
has never permitted them to be stir
red with the utilitarian dream of re-
plenishing the waste by planting other
trees in place of those removed. And
so commercialism sweeps over the
land like a devastating blight, leaving
the mountains bare, the soil impov-
erished by the removal of the timber
and water sources exposed and ruin
ed.
A touch of the utilitarian spirit
would be refreshing chanse.

A NEEDED REFORM.

IN his annual report Postmaster
General Cortelyou calls attention to
the fact that during the last year II
mail clerks were killed while on duty,
l25 seriously injured and Ss6 slightly
Injured.
The mail clerks are engaged in a
hazardous duty and 1t seems high
time that the government take steps
looking towards their better protec-
tion. 1t is notorious fact that al
though the government pays rental
for mail cars that annually exceeds
the first cost of these cars, the cars
provided by the railroads are the film
siest of all cars used.
A majority of the collisions on rail-
roads are what is called "head-on
collisions" and as the lightly built
mail cars are always at the head of q
train the natural result is that they

WILL DEVELOP KOREA.

That Japan intends to develop Korea
and to dominate her foreign affairs,
but does not intend to make that
country a vassal or Japanese state,
was a statement made today by Kore-
giyo Takahashi, the Japanese financial
commissioner, who has arrived at New
York from Europe on his way to To-
kio.
When Mr.. Takahashi was asked
whether Korea would be made to pay
part of Japan's debt, he said:
mo, we will develop Korea, but not
tax her. The question of Japanese
protectorate in Korea is misunderstood
in this country. Korea is a weak ma
ton and needs protection. Japan has
no intention of making her vassal or
state of the nation, but she intends
to dominate Korea's foreign relations,
to preserve the peace in the far east.
So long as II is otherwise Korea is LA
Bile to become the prey of the other
nations. To prevent this Japan has
taken on herself the work of looking
after Korea, but in no wise is II in
tended to interfere with her internal
affairs"
Japan will not sell her possess
sion,' he replied at is too valuable I'm
coal, oil and mines and Japan intends
to develop the property"
Mr.. Takahashi said he had been in
strumental in floating loans for Japan
amounting to s5S5,OOO,OO and that OF
that amount the United States has
taken $19O,OOO,OOO of bonds"

WHEN THEIR AUTO BALKED.

Robert Lee Morrell, chairman of the
Automobile association, started out for
a spin in his automobile the other day.
and everything worked finely until
he reached Broadway and Seventy
second street. Then the machine
baked and no efforts on his part
could induce it to go.
He worked away until he was rap
idly getting into state that he felt
could only be relieved by strong Ian
guage, but the presence of group of
children made him refrain from ex-
pressing himself. In the group was a
little girl with long golden hair and
deep blue eyes. She crowded close tc
the automobile owner as he worked.
Finally he became SO exasperated that
it eeemed as If he really must say
something, and, turning to the little
miss, he said:

girl. There's a few things I'd like to

WANDERLIED.

The lifted face to the loving lips.
The rain to the thirsty clover,
The heart of lad to the heart of a
lass,
And the open road to the rover!
He knows the world and its unknown
ways,
The lowlands along the river.
The hills and valleys in drifting mist.
And the overhead leaves a-quiver.
The weary child to the mother-breast.
The gull to the slow-swung billow.
And the night wind to sing him a lul-
laby
Who uses the earth for a pillow!
The open bud to the summer breeze,
The bumble-bee to the clover,
And the wanderlust to the restless soul
Ever the dear world over.

INTELLIGENT UNIONISM.

The East oregonian rejoices to see
the threatened disastrous strikes in
the printing business dwindle down to
a mere sputter in the face of intelli-
gent arbitration and settlement be-
tween printers and employers.
In New York city 226 out of 24l
firms have settled with their printers
on basis of an eight-hour day and
work is progressing in the establish
ments as usual, despite the alarming
stories printed before the opening of
the new year.
The East Oregonian is a believer in
intelligent unionism, in cooperation,
in organization in system. 1t believes
in labor receiving its just reward un-
der the best possible conditions. 1t
believes that the man who works for
a days wage is as much entitled to
the benefits of leisure time, for self
improvement, education, enjoyment
and betterment, as the man who
6rzEs an income from his invest
meuts
It believes in a just DIVISION OF time
wherein the employe will find time
for rest and recreation, as well as for
labor Upon this basis the industrial
system of the world should be found
ed.
The only good workman is the
happy and contented workman. The
only good service is that which is
tempered with love for the work and
kindly feeling for the employer and
SO the contented printer, working his
eight-hour day, having his time for
leisure and elf-improvement, will be
a better and more capable employe
and will do more work in proportion,
than if worked longer hours with a
feeling Of discomfort and dissatisfac-
tion.
The only possible remote danger in
the demands of unionism (and this
can be avoided by intelligent and con-
servative action) is where the de-
mands upon small printing concerns
will be out of proportion to their re-
sources and income and in the end
unionism may cause them to suspend.
This would destroy positions that
are needed by wOrkmen, however and
il is much to the workman's interest
10 keep his employer in business as it
is the employers interest, for without
opportunity to work the trade is no
resource to the workman.

are usually the ones sustaining the
greatest damage.
This will explain in a measure why
so many mail clerks are killed and in
jured. The statistics given above do
not include the four mail clerks re-
Gently killed in Wyoming.
Men are engaged in a work so haz-
ardous as that of the mail clerks are
certainly entitled to more than ordi-
nary consideration. The least that
the government can do is to insist
that the railroads furnish mails cars
solidly built, and equal to the heavy
steel passenger coaches and Pullmans
now in universal use.
No private patron would submit to
the extortion and poor service that
the railroads practice upon Uncle
Sam. And in addition to demanding
better cars the government should
provide some system whereby the de-
pendent relatives of mail clerks who
are killed while on duty may be pro-
vided for.
The men engaged in the railway
mail service are the most lily paid
servants of the government when rhe
eXacting and dangerous nature of
their work is taken into considera-
tiOn.

What to po9

From Harper's Weekly
 At the Army and Navy club in Wash ington a number of veteran officers were telling stories, when General Chaffee told this anecdote of General Carr, who died in New York some years ago.
 It appears that General Carr, at the out break of the civil war, had left Troy to take the command of a regiment, The engagement in which, as colonel, he first figured was at Big Bethel, His regiment had been halted for rest and refresh ment in pleasant place, and had not yet experienced the excitement of a skir- mish. It happened. however that Confed- crates were in ambush in the immediate neighborhood, and from safe hiding place they opened fire on the northerners. Carr, so the story runs, Instantly put spurs to his horse and dashed up to a group of officers. Excitement and bewii- derment were apparent upon his young face as he approached the party.
 They are firing upon my regimentv' he shouted. My Godl Now what Is to be donei'

 The son of the United States minister to Persia has come across the ocean to the school. There Is cadet from San Fran cisco. The son of government official in the Philippines came 15,000 miles by sea and land to the school, and his ticket cost 1925. This means an area represented of about 1900 miles from east to west as the crow flies. There Is an engagement from Minnesota. Two pupils are present from Colorado and two from Mexico City. This means an area of some 2500 miles from north to south as the train runs.
