The Walker Commission.

The Houston Post feels badly because
the Panama CaEal is costing more than
tie Walker commission estimated that
it would cost. 1t will be remembered
that the Walker commission reported
that the Panama canal would cost
s175o00,0oO as against s1S0, OOO, 900 for
the Nicaraguan canal. The Post COM
ments on the matter as follows:
1t was the report that Panama was
a S5,0O0,OOO cheaper project that led to
its substitution for the Nicaragua
route. According to the Goethals es-
innate, the Walker commission missed
the mark by 500. OO0.O 600. There never
was in the history of engineering such
blunder in estimating the cost of a
project. 1t is not strange that men
should say that the Walker commission
was unspeakably incompetent, or that
it deliberately deceived congress and
the American people
If the Walker commission has esti-
mated the complete cost of the Panama
canal at $l85.000,00O, the offer of the
French company would have been re-

'Glad to do it, my dear child" said
Mr.. Clemens, drawing out his fountain
pen.
ooh, it's so good of you" gurgled the
girl. you know, I've never seen you
but once, Chief Justice Fuller, and that
was at a distance; but I've seen your
portrait SO often that I recognized you

"Pm-m-m-m!" said Mr.. Clemens,

He Knows Better,

This week the newspapers printed
the following dispatch from Burling-
ton, VT:
A novel experiment in Amer
lean forestry is to be tried by the State
of Vermont She is going to coax or
and deforested tracts buy from her at
cost price at least 500 young trees
apiece for planting. The State has es-
tablished treenursery and has also
imported from Germany more than
100000 saplings. mostly white pine suit
able for building purposes.
One OF the faults with the paragraph
sumption that all waste lands are
owned by farmers, that farmers are
beaten or wheedled into setting out
trees or that they are the only folks
iZe that they are amenable to the
laws Of the State.
AS a matter of fact, in Vermont as
in Maine, the ruthless cutting has been
done, for the most part. by the small
operator who never owned a tenth of
the land he has cut over and never
planted anything in his life. The farm
er isn't stripping his land. He knows
that it spoils his farm. He knows that
if he strips his woodlot he has stripped
the farm Of one of its principal assets.
He knows that he will be obliged to go
after his winters wood with his pocket
book instead of with an axe and a bob
sled He knows that by cutting a few
trees each year he can reap a harvest
of ever increasing proportions and still
have a siZeable crop ready for succeed
ing years. Dent blame the farmer for
stripping forest lands. AS a rule he's
too busy farming in the summer to
think of it and in the winter he knows
better.
The establishment of a State nursery
is colnmendable, if Vermont needs one
Vermont knows more about that than
we do, but it is true in Maine, in YER
mont and everywhere else that men
will strip woodlots and timber tracts
Just so long as the person in control Of
any specific tract has no interest in it
beyond the amount of cash he can real

which led us into the deal. 49,.
Now isn't that too bad? Mistakes
have been made, no doubt, but there
are folks who believe that the greatest
mistake that we could possibly have
made would have been to permit some
other country to acquire control of the
privilege. AS to the Nicaraguan prop
osition, the people stopped discussing
that long ago. They decided to build
in Panama and having decided to
build, are building at a rate which is
revelation TO the other nations on
the globe. Inasmnch as the canal is
not finished and the Goethals estimate
is only an estimate, the same as the
Walker commission figures, wouldn't
it be well to suspend judgment awhile?
