Section 1914 provides that the
tax levy shall be at least equal
to the amount received from the
appointment made by the State
Superintendent the previous 18th
day OF December Our records
here show that this apportion-
ment is $1085.17 being the sum
OF 2.166 for each Of the sol per-
sons of school age as returned in
the school census. This over
sight on the part Of the Board of
Supervisors can be corrected in
either of two ways. First, by a
special meeting of your county
Board of Supervisors. This.'
however, seems at this time i'm
practicable owing to the fact
that the tax rolls are already in
the hands of the treasurer.
The second method is provid-
ed by Section 554 A. as renum-
bered by Chapter 313, Laws Of
1903. Under this section the
town Board of Supervisors is
authorized to transfer from the
General fund to the School fund
of the town a sum sufficient to
make up the efficiency caused by
the oversight.
The Supervisors, according to
the records here, should have
levied S1O85.17. The amount
that was levied is $3.50 90. This
being true, it will be necessary
to have the Board of Supervisors
transfer the sum of $520. 25 from
the General fund to the School
fund in order to make up the de
ficiency. | hope it may not in
convenience you to take this ac-
ton.

when properly signed should be

matter.

BY CLIFFORD PINcHoT

Chief Of the v. S. Forst Service
To conserve our national re-
sources is more than question or
dollars and cents. 1t concerns bust
ness, but it concerns also our ma
tional progress and national exist
ence. II appeals to the love. of coun-
try, of the broad-minded citizen as
well as to the cold judgment of the
economist.
Neglect of our plain duty will in
the coming centuries leave the
United States without those essen
tial resources upon which alone
continued national prosperity can
be established. Before us rise the
warning examples of such regions
as Palestine ami northern Africa
the examples of countries once rich
and prosperous, but now without
national greatness or economic
wealth, because of that same dis
regard for natural resources which
has been habitual in the United
States.
This present call to patriotic fore
sight and action lacks the appeal to
the imagination which inspired our
fathers in the days of conspicuous
danger to our nation. There is miss
ing such overshadowing evidence of
an impending catastrophe as stlrs
the spirit of heroic self-sacrifice
when the country is threatened by
an armed foe. That the danger is
as yet hidden makes it most for
midable. 1t is one of the paraioXes
of human nature that men who will
sacrifice their lives for their coun-
try will pass over as unworthy OF
natice smaller sacrifices of thought
and action which will in the end
have more far-reaching results.
Our attitude towards our coun-
try's future has been not unlike
that of the parents of children who
toll in the factory or mine. They
would gladly sacrifice their lives to
save the children from some i'm
minent and startling danger; but
the greatest danger they cannot
see at all They do not realize
that day by day the body is being
weakened and the mind starved.
The result is that the future is
mortgaged and the man is dwarfed.
AS compared with the centuries
of history of the old world the
United States is still a child. Its
natural resources are it's vital force.
Only through their careful develop
ment and use can we hope for ma
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-05-25

tional vigor and progress in the
centuries to come.
And yet through our easy-going
policy we are we'll nigh stripping
this child nation of the basis of its
future prosperity For the progress
of our civilization five materials
are absolutely essential-wood,
water, coal iron and agricultural
products.
The timber has been IMPROVE
IDENTITY cut until now we have a
supply for less than 80 years. It
is said that anthracite coal is like
ly to last us for but so years and
bituminOus coal for but 100. The
supply of iron ore is being rapid
ly depleted, and many fields have
already been exhausted. Once the
coal and iron are gone, they are
gone forever.
Agriculture has been seriously
crippled by soil erosion. A billion
tons of the farmers richest soil are

annually carried into the rivers and
the sea. The amount of the soil
borne by the Mississippi alone is
nearly twice as great every year as
all the earth which will be exca.
waited in digging the Panama canal,
and the money loss to the farmer is
probably close to a billion dollars.
Largely through thi soil wash the
streams have been filled until they
are less navigable now than they
were so years ago-and this in spite
of the million which the govern
ment spends upon them every year.
This meager statement of unes-
capable and melancholy facts shows
that we are approaching national
crisis. We have inexcusably wasted
our resources to the point of threat
ened poverty and we must delay ac-
ton no longer. 1t is the part of
patriotism to shake off the careless
optimism which had led us to look
forward into the future for less
than a generation. 1t is time to
give thought to the foundations Of
our country's future greatness and
to the happiness AMI prosperity OF
our children. 1t is high time that
careless prodigality should give
way to high new type Of patriotic
endeavor.
This is the purpose of the late
conference on natural resources at
the White House. And il is alto
gether probable that it will open a
campaign for foresight and pru-
dence in the conservation of our
natural resources, the benefits of
which will become increasingly
plain as the decades go by.
For the crisis of the revolution
patriots arose in numbers and
strength to crush an outside enemy.
Once and for all it was demon
strated to the world that with rea-
sonable preparedness on our part
the destiny of this country cannot
be interrupted from without. In
the Civil war the danger came from
within. In those years of conflict
it was shown that internal dissen-
sion cannot check our progress.
Another attempt of that sort has
become impossible forever. In those
days of strife our citizens found
their duty and did it, Today we are
confronted with a less evident but
no less vital duty, to assure the
happiness and prosperity of our
descendants by the conservation of
the resources on which their we'll
being will depend.

There was a big stir at Los An

after the wild animals, and all his
assistants, with the circus physi-
clans, were up all night. The big

attention, for she is valuable, cost

ager of the Sells-Floto forces,
$4,000. Just as old Sol came in
sight a baby hippo was born. The
little hippo is the second to be born
in captivity, and the first ever born
in America. The other baby hip
came to light in the Hagenbacn
ZOO at Hamburg, Germany.
The hippopotamus is very large,
bulky animal and the new born is
not so small, being about as large
as medium-sized Newfoundland
dog.
The Sells-Floto circus will be at
Spokane Thursday and Friday,
June 4 and 5. They are not in the
circus trust, and give a street pa
rade. Four performances will be
given in Spokane.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. May Is
Socialism is inevitable; its COM
ing, in some definite form which
will revolutioniZe society, giving
greater justice and more oppor-
tunity for culture to the wage earn
er, is simply a matter of time. 1t
is an ethical movement, and all at
tempts to stop it will be as futile as
a gust of wind against locomo-
tive"
With these words philosophy is
teaching socialism at the Univer-
sity of Michigan. Prof Robt Mark
Wenfey, Sc. D., Ii. D., d. Phil,
revered by teachers of philosophy
as one of the deepest thinkers in
this country, is intoxicating the
above doctrines into his students.
1t is doubtful if there is another
educational institution of such high
rank in the world where socialism
is being so radically taught by so
eminent man as it is at Michigan
by Prof. Wenley. Hundreds of
young men who would ordinarily
leave college to become props and
buttresses of the existing order of
things, are being filled and stirred
with belief in the certainty of so
cialism.
Prof. Wenley is giving five
months course on The Ethics of
Socialism" To strengthen his
teaching he has gone clear back to
the middle ages, pointed out the
passing of feudalism, the coming of
individualism and the subsequent
decline and fall of the latter, to
show the inevitableness of social
ism.
THE feudal system was but the
extreme embodiment of institution
alism. 1t could not last forever.
When the reaction against it came,
1t had 10 give way. Its place was
usurped by the extreme individual
ism of the last two centuries. This,
too, was an extreme and could not
last 1t taught that all men were
free and equal, and should be al
lowed to enjoy liberty without in
fringement. Individualism found its
high water mark in the French
revolution, in the declaration of in
dependence. and in the English re-
form bill.
But indiviiualism is now pass
ing away. Its place is being taken
by socialism. Instead of being born
with certain inalienable rights
man is coming to be thought of as
being born with certain imperative
duties to his fellowmen. Alone,
man SSe individual can do nothing.
He is important only as he consti-
tutes a part of society. He there
fore owes definite obligations TO
that society which gives him his
power and his meaning.
THE present periou is the period
of the working class, of the wage
earners. Socialism is simply a
name for their struggle for better
things, for greater material COM
forts, hut chiefly for more leisure,
for better opportunities for self
cultivation The competitive sys-
TEN which we have today never
can bring these things about, If
they could be brought about with
out a change In society there would
today be no place for socialism.
But they cannot. A change in so
eiety, peaceful revolution of the
existing Observation-Disclosures ne
cessary.
THE socialist looks at society
and sees men divided into classes.
He sees that some men have prop
erty with all the enjoyments which
II brings, and that Others have no
property, with all the mseries
which poverty brings, He sees that
