tonnage that America leads all nations

A Democratic Mistake.

The Democrats who voted and spoke
against the appropriation of $25,0oo
for President Taft's travelling expenses
have been hearing from their con-
stitusnts since their action became
known in the home districts and many
of them have come to the conclusion
that they made a mistake. They did.
Whether they fooled themselves into
the belief that their action was play
to the gallery or whether they felt
that President Taft should pay his own
travelling expenses, they fell down
miserably in their effort to win popular
acclaim. The people cannot go to
Washington to see the man they ell
ected by an overwhelming majority to
be their chief executive, but it is a
physical possibility for him to see
many of them by travelling about the
country. They want to see him. They
are willing to pay the bills and arc
unwilling that he should pay them
out of a salary so small that many
private enterprises have outbid the
nation for men of undoubted worth.
There is another feature Of the sit
uation which is not lost on the think
ing public If Taft doesn't travel
on his own pocket book or on the
pocketbook Of the nation, he is more
than likely to have private railroad
equipment rendered for his use. There
is hardly a railroad management in
the country that wouldn't gladly trans
port the president of the United States
over it's lines free of cost to him or his
encourage, for the sake of the adver-
Using and prestige it would bring.
Who would pay the bills? The travel
ing public. 1t would be found in the
ticket Of the commutor, the travelling
salesman and the occasional traveller,
if it wasn't in the freight rates. 1t
would be found somewhere. The divi-
dends wouldn't be penny less. So
it is better that the whole nation
contribute to the travelling expenses
of the chief executive who is travelling
for the benefit of the whole nation.
The only mistake that can be found in
the whole proceeding is the commission
of Maine from the itinerary.

The United States forestry depart
ment has issued phamplet which
tends to increase rather than decrease
our concern over the timber supply sit
uation. According to data carefully
gathered by the trained men of the
department there was once about
5000, 900, 100000 board feet of timber
standing in the northern, southern,
central, Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast districts, but that cutting. clear
ing and fire have reduced this original
holding to 100000, 100000 board feet.
We are now cutting at the rate of
24O, 900, 900, 900 feet per year, while the
growth is estimated at but 84,O0O,OOO,-
900 feet per year, indicating that we
are cutting at a net loss to the original
holding of 1876, OOO,O0O,OOO feet per year,
giving us but few years in which to
exhaust the entire supply.
If this ruthless cutting did nothing
but remove the forests there would
be cause enough for anxiety. but when
it is borne in mind that cutting the
forests cuts off the supply of water in
our rivers. reduces the rainfall, stops
mills, impoverishes states and makes
fertile regions become as the barren
wastes of Mesopotamia,, it is time to
put restraining hand upon the men
who are responsible.
A suitable substitute for wood in
many of it's uses will never be found. A
suitable substitute for wood in many
more of it's uses has already been
found and is coming into use more and
more extensively as it's use is better
understood. We are not face to face
with a demand for lumber that cannot
be met with something else.
The larger operators have already
adopted methods of practical forestry
which insure to them a permanent
supply. The men who have been called
into the pulp and paper industry by
the great Importance the industry has
assumed in the last few years have

doubtedly will be. The sort of effort
and intelligence that has been brought
to bear does not brook defeat 1t is
not the big operators that we should
fear. 1t is the multitude Of men who
cut the small lots. They must be loooke
after and it is for that purpose that
the national government supports our
forestry bureau. Up to this time its
work has been largely campaign Of
education, but when the people of the
