FOR GREAT FOREST RESERVE.
Constitutionality of the Pending
Bill Asserted

At hearing this morning before the
House committee on the judiciary the
argument was advanced that it will be
constitutional for Congress to pass a
law for the esta Adjustment by condemna-
ton proceedings of a gigantic forest re-
serve on the Appalachian and White
mountain ranges for the preservation Of
the navigablc streams Of the eastern
part Of the United States. The effect
of forest upon the flow Of water was
illustrated by Clifford Pinchot, chief Of
the bureau Of forestry. with a glass OF
water and a piece Of blotting paper.
Forest. he said. serves the purpose OF
blotting paper in absorbing the annual
rainfall. making the supply Of the
streams slow and steady. He also de-
clared that forests increased the rain
fall by about 10 per cent.
The argument was advanced by all the
speakers that as the federal government
has control OF interstate commerce, it
has the right to take such action as will
insure the continued navigability Of
streams. Those who spoke included
Harvey n. Shepard of Boston, Daniel
Davenport Of Bridgeport. Conn: John K
Beach of New Haven, Conn; Judge Os-
born of South Carolina and John II.
Finney Of Atlanta. Ca, secretary Of the
Appalachian Forest Association.
