people, and by the people. It is home
rule. We declare for this right Of the
voter.
"2. Sound business methods: The
city of Durham is now a large cor.
poration with many departments,
transacting great volumes of business
The work of these departments should

already burdened our city with a float
ling Indebtedness Of over $4,000. The
city clerk should be required to pub
lish on the first day Of each month
the total amount of the city's floating
Indebtedness, in order that our yoter'
and tax payers may be fully informed
as to our financial condition. We IA

OF the city should be handled in {
strictly business-like manner so tina

sistent with safety, shall be derive;
therefrom.

the city Of Durham have the right Il
insist upon clean politics and homes

ligently executed without fear or ia

pine than to any other wood. The
timber OF this valuable tree, which has
played most important part in the
material development of the nation. Is
fast disappearing. and now 1t is as
costly as the finest American hard
woods.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chap
lain of the senate, who has always
taken an interest In forestry, deplores
the passing of white pine as our fore
most wood and tells how in his own
lifetime he has seen the day when 1.-THE
masts OF every vessel that sailed the
seven seas were made from New Eng
land grown pine. while today very lit
tie white pine Is cut in New England
big enough to furnish good sized
spar" He tells also, to illustrate the
increasing cost of the wood, that he
ordered a set of bookshelves on which
the cablnetmaker made price and
then asked whether they should be Of
mahogany or white pine.
An idea of the increasing scarcity Of
white pine timber Is given by recent
New York quotations on basis of
carload lots. "Uppers" of the best
grade cost $97 to STA a thousand
board feet, and the selects" or next
lower grade cost $79.50 to $1,000. Men
who are not yet middle aged remember
the time whom these grades could bs
purchased at $40 to $25 thousand
feet. The present quotations ON quar-
tered white oak, which are $40 to $50,
offer another basis OF comparison
which indicates the condition of the
market for white pine.
Al the present rate of cutting the
tree viii soon be practically thing OF
the past. The small stands In the ma
tional forests are inconslderable, but
they will be managed with the great
est conservatism by the government
through the Forest Service and through
this method ana practice of reforestra.
tion II may la hoped that the fine old
tree win furnish timber for other gen
eratiOns.
