Goyee INVENT SAW MILLS.

The Japanese government has pion-
will eventually absorb the attention OF
the United States government, or
those OF several states. Japan will Gull
tivate lumber forests and operate
government saw mills in order to pro-
vide its people with material with
which to build houses.
In our own country the government
is fast taking over the standing for
ests and students of the problem now
believe that the government should
never have permitted private greed to
run riot thru the vast resources with
which nature had endowed this coun-
try President Roosevelt has even adj
yised government control of the coal
deposits as a means of saving the sup
My for the public and preventing a
recurrence Of the anthracite trust
The next step will be the planting
of new forest supplies on federal and
state lands. Vast sums will be appro-
priated during the next twenty years
for the purchase of waste lands and
the reforestation of great areas. Thirty
years from now. when these trees viii!
begin to furnish lumber, the original
native supply will have disappeared
and lumber will have become SO scarce
that the problem Of economy in tree
cutting will have become so important
that government saw mills may look as
reasonable as government canals APP
pear today.
The reason that Japan is at it today
is that her population is fourteen times
as dense per square mile as is the
population in this country. But even
here the situation is alarming, for the
inevitable growth in thirty years will
be to double the present population
If the buildings already erected in this
country have well nigh exhausted the
natural lumber supply, it is not difficult
to realize what will happen when we
try to double the present number of
buildings during the next generation
of men.

REVIEWED IN EQUITY.

While no-one seems to know what
the legal status of the Prouty-Huli
election controversy is in the Seventh
district, there are some phases of II
which are Of interest as being mere
questions in equity In all cases. the
struggle has been to secure a verined
count of the ballots which must strike
any man as eminently fair, no matter
who should gain thereby In any cleo
ton in which the result is 50 close as
TO vacillate around an even break. fair
minded contestants ought to- submit
peacefully to repeated recounts, until
verified results can be reached.
1t seems that in Polk county, carried
by Prouty, these srecounts were granted
in certain precincts. and resulted in
gain for Hull which Prouty has ac-
cepted without a fight.
In Dallas county, however, county
candidate for auditor secured re-
count of his own case, and While this
was being done, interested tellers
looked over the shoulders Of the sup
ervisors, taking a tally Of the ballots
on congressman. which showed gain
for Prouty sufficient to nominate him.
1T is said that this tally was made
both by Prouty and by Hull men, and
their counts agreed. OF course, Prouty
demands an official veritication OF the
count in Dallas on congressman. but
Hull has resisted to the extent of tie
ing up the whole election result in the
courts.
It would seem to a disinterested
person that Hull was afraid OF the facts
in Dallas. or he would be willing to
permit a recount. Prouty has taken
his medicine like man, on recount
in Polk, and Hull ought to be willing
to have the facts known in Dallas Ii
he should succeed in forcing a nomin-
alton for himself by preventing an ac-
curate count of the votes, he ought to
he defeated at the polls. Furthermore.
1T matters not in equity whether
Prouty's claims of error are well
founded or not if he wants a recount
the manly thing for Hull to do would
be to grant it. There ought to be
honor among politicians. 1t is said to
ayiSt evarywhere else, even among
thieves.

Narrow minded people often raise q
hue and cry that the tapping of

which will mean frequent and cheap
service to the large CITY, will drive
trade to the large city This may be
true in a degree but on the other
attractive as a place of residence to
people who would otherwise hang on
to the city as their home. Any trade
that may be DETECTED from the small
town is thus offset by the more at
tractive residential character of that
same town, which soon more than
makes up In population what 1T may

the few who find it to their advantage

of population in towns and cities linked
by interurban systems has been little
short of marvellous.
Nothing succeeds like success, and
the best evidence of the utility and
general advantage Of trolleys from city
to farm and village to hamlet, is the
bountiful patronage and profits that
result from their building.
On with the interurban development
and let the croakers go way back and
sit down.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

"The fact of the matter seems to be
that Dolliver was not pushed for the
vice presidency by his real friends, and
that endorsement of Governor Cum
minis for second place didn't come from
his real friends" the Fairfield Ledger
asserts. Iowa republicans should
know that they have lost a great deal
at home in this great game of politics
and that they will never get anything
from the nation until they have mend
might be said that the Iowa of today is
not the Iowa of few years ago."
1.-THE recent county convention was
enthusiastic for the national, state
and county ticket. If indications count
for much Clay county republicans will
be in 1t this year, for we are going to
elect the entire national, state and

Ger Reporter.

are just now approaching a great

Some road officers are handicapped
just now for the reason that they have
funds to carry out the best methods
of road making"
"The Thornton Enterprise is of the
opinion that Duncan Rule should be
reserved to redeem the Fourth con-
gressional district two years hence.
Mr.. Rule would make good con-

dence before us at present to indicate
that the Fourth congressional district
will be subject to redemption" says

err crop in this vicinity, so people who
are posted tell U.S." observes the Hub

is waist high, and that is going some

has been lucky this year. While there
have been cyclones. waterspouts, hail
storms, etc, in various parts of the
state, we have escaped anything of the
kind, and We earnestly hope our good
fortune will continue"
'.Why should any honest man object
