THE QUESTION OF TRANSFERS.


Again is the question of transfers on
street cars before the Council. If there
is one subject which has been worn into
frazzles by discussions and argument, /,
is the question of transfers. What is
there that could be added or said to the
contention of the people who should
long since have been granted the priv
leges or right of transfers?
If the Traction Company has not re-
coded from its position, it is simply a
waste of time to indulge in any discus
sion of the question.
The position of the Traction Company
is plain. It is willing to concede trans
fers, modified and limited, on the condi-
ton that the years of their charter be
extended To concede the demand
would be equivalent to the city, as one
of its officials would say, selling its
birthright for mess of potash. y
If the friends of the Traction Com
pany are disposed to give away greater
privileges than the company now have
and enjoy, they must reckon with the
people, who, if given an opportunity,
will not approve the proposed extension
of the company's franchises for the SIM
pie consideration of the priilege OF
transfers, which computed OH the most
extravagant and favorable scale would
not be compensation for the extension
of the charters desired.
If the Traction Company has friends
in the Council so have the people, and
these, being active and alert, would pro-
tect the city as it should be.
Some people, in their eagerness for
transfers, seemingly would yield and
surrender to the Traction Company I'M
conditionally, but it should be borne in
mind that there is no franchise so valu-
able in Shreveport as that of the Trac-
ton Company, which was obtained for a
song AS it is, the Traction Company
has not only monopoly of the traffic,
but practically control by the advantages
it possesses.
The people have always been liberal
with the Traction Company, but there
should be reasonable limit in giving
away rights and privileges which are
valuable and for which there should be
an equivalent in compensation.
It IS not only the tracks and the cars
which are operated and the real estate
owned by the Traction Company which
gives it value but it is the franchises,
the rights obtained from the people to
operate over its thoroughfares.
What is the alue of these franchises
70 the Traction Company? It is quar-
ter Of a million dollars, if not more.
What would be the value of the trans
fers to the patrons of the company COM
puted in, dollars and cents?
Is it fair and reasonable to expect the
people to yield so much to this COM
pany for return which, computed fair
y and generously, is simply ridiculous?
The Caucasian is no opponent of the
Traction Company and has no i'll feel
ing or antagonism against it, but it is
simply urging now, as it has in the past,
the protection of the people against the
claims and the demands of monopolies

Government Forests of
Prussia Well Managed

Prussia has national forests, cover
ing nearly 1000, 900 acres, which are
made up much as II the pineries Of
the southern states Of this country
and the forests Of some of tho middle
Atlantic and central states we're com
bined. When forestry was begun by
Prussia. great part Of the timber.
land had been injured by mismanage-
ment, much as American forests have
been. and the Purssial foresters had
to solve the problem Of improving the
rundown forests out Of the returug
from those which were still In goon
condition. They solved It with strik-
ing success. Immense improvement
has already taken place and Is stead
lily going on.
The method Of management adopted
calls for sustained yield--that Is. no
more wood is cut than the forest
produces. Under this management
the growth Of the forest, and conse
quently the amount cut, has risen
sharply. In 1880, the yield was 20
cubic feet per acre; in 1855, "a cubic
feet: ia 1890. 81 cubic feet, and 1904
s. cubic feet In other words, Prus-
sian forest management has multi
piled the rate of production threefoid
In rs years And the quality Of the
product has improved with the guam.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1909-10-13

tity Between 1896 and 1904 the per-
ceBtage Of cav timber rose from 10
per cent. 10 81 per cent.
IT Is a striking fact in this connec-
ton, that in the United States at the
present time, the people use about
three times as much timber as the
forests grow, If we were everywhere
pracucing forestry with q resulting
improvement equal to that made IN
Prussia, the forests Ut this country
would be growing as much as we use.
The financial returns in Prussia
make an even better showing. Net
returns per acre In 1850 were %
cents. In 1866 they we're II cents;
In 1900, s1.58 and in 1904, $3.50
They are now nearly ten times what
they were 90 years ago. and they are
Increasing more rapidly than ever.
These results have been obtained In
Prussia along with almost ideal tech.
nical success. When what is wanted
Is sustained yield from the forest

Simple Ways TO clean
White Shoes at Home

thoroughly shaken and the liquid ap.
piled with brush.
The authority responsible for the
above information, also added: "If
one wishes to tint white shoes t.
match dresses, etc, there is a dye
that can be added to this solution
that will create the desired shade"
This mixture must be shaken 5efore
1t Is put on.
White Suede.
After hearing this edvice. the though
came to me that white shoes, after
becoming too shabby to restore salts.
factorily, might be treated to coat
of tan or other dark color to proIong
their usefulness.
While suede shoes can be cleansed
with powder there Ia liquid which
IL said to BIO better. The only obJec.
ton 10 the latter lis that the nap or
duh surface Of the suede is destroyed,
giving the appearance of finished kid.
but this | find can be restored by
brushing the kid the wrong way with
rag or soft broom. The shoes viii
then look like lcw.
For white kid or buckskin a good
pipeolay is the best agent for preserv-
ing Wilderness. when the welts are OF
patent leather as they often aYe, and
the uypsrs OF white kid, soil may be
easily removed. For after taking a
damp, warm rag. the gloss may be
restored by rubbing with q mixture
Of ink and olive oil liz equal quaint
ties. or failing that, little warm
milk.
The latter is safer. perhaps, because
should little work into the white kid
1t would leave no black stain. At the
same time, milk Is apt to turn kid
slightly yellow, so even this should
be used with care.
All shoes should be allowed to dry
thoroughly on wooden trees or their
substitutes.
