PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.

L
Initiative.
The preservation Of the forests is a
problem second to nonesin present i'm
portance and In its outlook toward the
future. Without trees our country
would be a desert. and the rapid den
udation of our New England hills Is
already beginning to have its effect
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our water supply. The invention OF
wood pulp paper and the rapid extern
sion Of the industry throughout the
country, together with the increase of
newspaper circulation, have stimulated
the destruction of the forests to such
q degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before it is too
late.
Congress has attempted to take a
hand in the matter, but so far with
little avail, and it now remains for the
Individual states affected to see what
they can do The first step would seem
to be the development Of paper making
from some rapidly growing and an
nually reappearing substance, such as
cornstalk fiber, instead of from the
slowly rising tree which cannot be re-
placed except after years Of renewal
and growth.
AS was to be expected, Massachu-
sets is taking the initiative. To the
governors of the other five New Eng
land states Governor Guild has sent
out a request for a conference, and 1t
will be held at the Algonquin club
in Boston on the 18th Of September.
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for
ests, and it is probable that arrange
ments will be made for the calling of
a New England business conference at
some time Immediately following the
presidential election. If 1t should be
held, says Governor Guild In his letter,
1t should come at chat time "in order
that its work might not be confused
with the politics Of the presidential
campaign" One Of the especial OBJ

Observation-Disclosures

This shows cOnclusively that free
coffee does not extend our own export
trade to coffee-producing countries.
Since the Dingley bill went into oper-
alton our exports to Brazil have in
creased only $5,379,OOO, while our i'm
ports from Brazil have increased
$36, 131, 900. In other words, our i'm
ports have increased seven times as
fast as our exports
A tariff policy that produces such
results as this is indefensible from
either a revenue or protective basis.
If we wish to extend our trade with
Brazil, it will be necessary to do more
than to exchange friendly visits and
assurances Of good will. A maximum
tariff OF cents per pound on coffee
with a minimum OF cents, would af-
ford the means OF securing more eX-
port trade with Brazil than our pre-
sent system OF free coffee, with no
leverage for securing trade benefits
in return for the entrance to the great
est coffee-consuming country in the
world
