TWO PLATFORMS

The clear, specific and logical state
ment of party principles in the demo-
cratic platform constitute a notable
contrast to the contradictory, evasive
and ambiguous planks in the republican
document.
Taft, above all other candidates,
needed strong, emphatic platform be
cause of the doubt that exists as to his
own convictions and purposes. Yet he
stands upon one made for the purpose
of placating two opposing wings of his
own party, and a reading of the party,
and reading of the platform gives no
clear idea of what Mr.. Tafts election
would mean. Wall street may fairly
interpret it as favorable to the interests
of her great exploiters and Roosevelt
may find paragraphs which promise
the contrary
So, like the candidate, the republican
platform has q double meaning and "a
doubtful purpose.
Bryan hardly needed IL platform.
His views and purposes are SO we'll
known and often proclaimed that a
platform was not SO important IL part
OF the campaign as in the case
of Taft. AS IL matter of fact how
ever. on every issue of the day the
Democratic platform is clear and
emphatic. Where the republican plat
form speaks in ambiguity the demo
cratic document speaks plainly. Where
the republican platform is silent the
democratic is outspollcn So on the
great issues of the tariff, Injunction,
election of senators by the people,
publicity of campaign funds, income tax
and bank regulation the democratic
document offers to the voters pledges
that mean something.
The superiority of Bryan over Taft is
Obvious, and so is the superiority of the
democratic platform over the rcpubli

State Revenue From .....
Forests National Increased

State Revenue From .....-
Forests National Increased
A recent bulletin issued by the Forest
Service says:
In addition to the benefits secured by
fire protection and by regulations which
control the use of timber land and range
SO as to insure permanent supplies for
local wants, the states having National
Forests now receive, under the new
agricultural appropriation bill, % per
cont of the gross proceeds derived from
the sale of National Forest resources.
This amount, according to law, goes to
offset any losses to the states through
withdrawal of forest areas from taxa
ton, and is devoted to public roads and
schools
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable areas of the states in which
Withdrawals were made. The Forest
Service, quick to see the justice of these
complaints, recommended at first that
10 per cent, and later that % per cent,
of the gross proceeds from the National
Forests should be paid to the states. AS
IL result, the states are assured of school
and road funds; doubtless more certainly
than they otherwise could have been,
since the permanence of the Forest
resources is now secured by conserva-
tive management. Had the forests
never been established, their resources
would undoubtedly have been exhausted
by hasty and improvident methods of
exploitation, leaving the land wasted
and unproductive.
