When is a dozen eggs not dozen
eggs? This is the problem bothering
legal minds. and minds not legal, out
in Kansas this spring. During the
winter a woman borrowed of one OF
her neighbors a dozen eggs, which at
the then-going market price were
worth "a cents. From forgetfulness
or other reasons, she did not repay
the loan for three months, and when
she brought back a dozen eggs which
are row quoted in the market at Il
cents, the other day. the borrower re-
fused to take them as equivalent for
the loan, and demanded two dozen.
The borrower insisted that the con-
sideration of money value did not en-
ter into the matter at all: she had Dor
rowed eggs and was returning eggs
1t was a small matter but their tenn
pers are now up and some poor judge
will have to wrestle with the problem.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Forest Reserve Bill.
portland PreSs.)

At last we get an inkling of why
the White mountain and Appalachian
forest reserve bill is delayed in COM
mittee SO long. The wise heads are
puzzling over a constitutional ques-
ton, which in turn depends on ques-
ton of fact. The bill, it seems, is in
the judiciary committee of the House.
The committee does not know whether
or not the preservation of the forests
involved would tend to aid navigation
of the streams which arise in them
and SO it proposes to refer the ques
ton to the river and harbor commit
tee as more properly within the juris
diction of the latter. If the river and
harbor committee should report that
as matter of fact navigation would
be affected, the doubt of the judiciary
would be resolved and it would see
its way to report the bill favorably.
1t seems that the question turns upon
this point, since Congress has juris-
diction over navigable waters. The
power of keeping such waters free and
uninterrupted is conferred on the Uni
tea States by the constitution. No dam
can be erected across navigable waters
except with the consent of Congress,
nor can they be SPAWNED by bridges.
But there is doubt of the power of
Congress to go into a state and spend
money for the establishment of a for
est reserve, acquiring control of the
land from private owners, for the sole
sake of conserving the forest resources
and protecting the water supply. I'M
less there is some connection with a
constitutional power of Congress.
AS to the question of fact, however,
1t should not be hard to answer. The
naviga5ility of streams depends on the
water in them. If the rivers run low
from the Impairment of their tribu-
tory waters from the sources up among
the wooded hills, vessels cannot use
them, and there you are. Take the

How the Democratic minority in
Congress hates those Reed rules and
fights against them. But If they should
become Atl,e majority would they repeal
these rules? Hardly: They had the
chance when Crisp was speaker fol-

rules were quite good enough for them
then. They are simply playing politics
