Many good reasons are advanced in de-
Tense of the union policy, but it is not
the purpose to discuss even outline
them here. There is abundant evidence
that these arguments presented fairly, ap-
peal with force to the general public.
A well-known educationalist. who has
made special study of labor unions, says
he finds it easier to convince people of the
mercantile and professional classes with
whom he comes in contact of the fairness
of the card shop policy than of any other
phase of militant unionism. The writer al
so knows of a club of 20 or 80 men, not
one of whom has remote connection with
the wage earning class. Who after inves-
tigation, think the strict union policy is jus
tifiable, if not a necessity, under existing
conditions. Some of this is due to the feel
ing of revulsion that accompanies the dis
covery that what has been written on the
subject is a riot of Misrepresentation. This
also demonstrates that unions will not be
without forceful and friendmaking argu-
ments if the matters get beyond the aca-
demic stage,
1t is stated above that in many in
stances union men refuse to work with
non-unionists. In explanation of this it
must be remembered that, contrary to cur

lists from the workshop is not a cardinal
principle of all unions The members of
some organizations work with non unionists.

HITCHCOCK TO CUT
 POSTAL EXPENSES
Postmaster General Talks of Efforts tl Replace Cumbersome Methods in
 His Department.
DEFICIT MORE THAN s2O,ooo, 900

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 2.-Postmaster General Hitchcock has had an inpor- tant conference with President Taft regarding the plans he has formulat- ed for cutting down expenses in the postal establishment. The Postmas- ter General told the President that, according to the latest estimates, the Post Office Department will show a deficit for the fiscal year ended June SC of more than $20000,000. This is the largest deficit that .1as ever been known in the postal service, and MT. Hitchcock informed the President that it was his purpose and his ambition to show a material decrease in the amount every year that he has con trol of the department.
 The deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, was about $16, 100000. The increase, as nearly as can be ascer- tained, was due in part to extensions of the service, in part to the business depression during the first part of the fiscal year, and further to cumber- some and expensive methods of hand ling the mail and methods in other de- partments of the postal work.
 MT. Hitchcock is facing the prob lem of how to cut down expenses so as to materially reduce the deficit and at the same time to keep the postal service cup to it's present high state of efficiency. If there is any possible way to do this he intends to find it out. To thisAend he is to lnavea com plete examination of the methods in vogue in every. branch of the service The investigations are to be made by the most able and efficient men in the service, men who are rated as experts in their respective fields of labor.
 The Postmaster General has. now al work in Washington q commission ot some forty-odd experts in the registry service. They are making a thorough examination of the registry depart ment, which has been showing a grow ing deficit year after year. The mem bers of the commission have been drawn from Post Offices all over the country.

HEAVY DRAINS ON
 NATIONS FORESTS

"The total yearly drain upon our forests, not counting losses from fires, storms, and insects, is some twenty billion cubic feet" says R. S.. the office of forest statistics, in pub lication just issued. by the Forest Ser vice on "The Timber Supply of the United States"
 Our present forest area of $50 mill lion acres may be roughly estimated ture forests, in which the annual growth is balanced by death and de- cay, of 250 million acres partially cut or burned over, on which, with req sonable care, there is sufficient young growth to produce in the course of time a merchantable, but not full crop of timber, and 100 million acres of more severely cut and burned over forests, on which there is not sufh- cient young growth to produce anoth- CT crop of much value.
 Taken as a. whole, the annual growth of our forests under these conditions does not exceed twelve cubic feet per acre, @ total of less than seven billion cubic feet. That is, we are cutting our forests three times as fast as they are growing. There is menace in the continuance of such conditions. While we might never reach absolute timber exhaustion, the unrestricted exploitation of our for ests in the past has already had ser ious effects, and it will have much worse if it is allowed to continue un- checked
 White pine, for instance, which was once considered inexhaustible, has fallen off seventy per cent. in cut since 1890, and more than forty-f1ve per cent. since 1900. The cut of oak, our most valuable hardwood lumber, has decreased sixteen per cent. since 1900, and that of yellow poplar twen- ty-two per cent. The same story will be told of other woods if they are not conserved.
 'aThe fact that timber has been cheap and abundant has made us careless of it's production and reck- less in it's use. We take 25O cubic feet of wood per capita annually from ours forests, while Germany uses only thirty-seven cubic feet, and France but twenty-five. On the oth- her lesson makes her state forests produce an average of forty-eight cubic feet of wood per acre. We have as fast-growing species as Germany or faster, and as good or better for est soil if we protect it.
 '"The necessity for more farm land may eventually reduce our total forest area to 100 million acres less than il is at present. It is entirely possible however, to produce on 450 million acres as much wood as population much greater than we have now will really need if all the forest land is brought to it's highest producing ca pacity and if the product is econom- ically and completely utilized. But to reach the necessary condition of equil- | ibrium between timber production and consumption will take many years o1 | vigorous effort by individual forest owners, by the States, and by the Ma | tional Government None of them car solve the problem alone; all must work together
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-02

Although President Taft gained but slight results in his contest with the Tariff Conference committee, Horace White who is one of the best known writers upon the tariff question, con- efders the Presidents attempt to se- Icure the promised revision downward ethe most significant fact in our poli- 1tics since the downfall of slavery" He Isdds: "We have now for the first time Ia Republican President who has dared l to grapple with the power intrenched bel ind the tariff President Roosevelt shrank from that problem" Next in Importance, MT. White ranks the att ititude of the insurgent Republicans of ithe Middle West who represent, he says, 'the most robust and self-re- liant wing of the party and who be- lIieye rightly that the future belongs Ito them. If the Republican party is to live it cannot exist without them ''
 It ds not at all probable that the President will abandon his efforts to tsecure lower duties, or that the insur-
 gent Republicans of the Middle West Iwiu cease to contend against unright- leous exactions. We look to see meas ,ures introduced in Congress, which
 will deal with tariff items separately they will have ga hard road to travel ?
 but will serve to continue the agita- I ton until such changes may occur ir Congress as will permit treatment ot the tariff question in popular instead :, of trust interest
