At the council Of the general fedora
ton Of Woman's clubs, held in San
Antonio, Tex, last week, a resolution
opposing the use Of forest timber for
very seriously discussed. 1t appears,
however, that the fears Of the good
women in regard to forest destruction
through the use Of Christmas trees by
the children are altogether groundless.
The cutting out Of small trees generally
used for this purpose rather tends to
forest conservation.
Upon this subject the Milwaukee
Free Press says:
"As there were symptoms Of an anti
Christmas tree campaign soon after the
holidays, National Forester PinChOt
took pains to issue bulletin whose
purpose was to show that our timber
supply was in no wise menaced by the
cutting Of the young trees for the
Christmas festival.
He demonstrated by means Of figures,
how all the fir, spruce and pine felled
for that purpose was merely a drop in
the bucket Of what was really wasteful
and wantOn destruction Of our forests.
and that the clearing out Of these small
trees here and there was beneficial to
the growth Of those remaining.
Gwen if the Christmas tree trade as
sumed far vaster proportions than it
does today, Mr.. Pinchot believed that
beautiful end it served, the blessed need
it fulfilled were such as to place it out
side the pale of material consideration.
The Democrat would kindly suggest
that if the telling of trees for the
Christmas tide really menaced the for
ests the ladies Of the federation, and
other women, and men as well, could
scarcely be engaged in better business
than propogating more trees for the use
of the children. The season is oppor
tune for tree planting.

Stewartdale, n. D., Mar. 81, 1909.
Dear Editor: We have had very
long winter, but not a severe one. The
snow is all gone now, and some of our
farmers here have commenced sowing
wheat already. We had no crops tc
speak of here last summer. There was
ID severe hail storm Aug. 10 1909. and il
completely ruined every thing. I have
lived here twenty five years, and that
was the worst hail storm since l have
lived here. We are all preparing for
another crop. Until last year we raised
excellent crops here.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. MCAULEY.

The Speakers Autocratic
DnyuaV-

In recent years by skillful manipula-
ton and the adoption Of code Of rules
the House has practically ceased to be
a deliberate body and has been brought
almost absolutely under the control Of
the Speaker. Louis XIV. Of France
could not with more truth say, Il am
the state" than the Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives, under the
present rules, can say, Il am the
House" It has been dem0netrated that
it is fruitless to attempt the passage Of
legislation antagonized by the Speaker.
When legislation has his approval its
passage through the House of Represen-
tatives prcceedes with bewildering
swiftness and smoothness. His object
ion to measures cannot be overcome by
majority Of the members. The
Speaker is really the master and not the
servant Of the House.
We have witnessed his stern refusal
to permit the House to consider meas
ures petitioned for by majority as its
members. The subserviency Of the
House when its proposals are thus OBJ
structed is amazing Charles the First
Of England lost his head because he
refused to obey the expressed wishes Of
a majority Of the English Parliament.
Yet the members Of the House of Rep
resentatives tamely permit the Speaker,
elevated to his position by their consent,
to scorn to permit d majority OF them
even to consider the measures desired.
The Speaker has almost ceased to be
regarded either by himself or by the
country as the agent or spokesman OF
the House. He now considers himself
responsible to the country both for the
conduct and legislation Of the House.
It seems that the system has now so
grown that he regards himself as re-
sponsible to the country and the House
as responsible to him. Instead Of leav-
ing to the Senate and the President the
veto power upon the action Of the
House, as designated by the fathers OF
the Constitution, he arrogates to him
self this power. He has become far
more a restraining power upon the
House than either the Senate or the
President We now witness Speak
er's policy, no longer House policy.
The Speaker believes his selection
makes him the responsible leader of
his party, and as such entitled to domi-
nate its policies and control it's legisla-
ton. Thus we frequently witness
rivalry between the Speaker and the
President, often majority Of the
House in thorough accord with the
President, but unable to give expression
to their preference in legislation, on
account of the power of the Speaker.

Representatives A Criticism" by

STATE AID For ROADS.

The legislature has before it two bills
providing for state aid for roads. One
is assembly bill 700 and the other is
Senate bill 1922 The latter is altogether
the better bill, and ought to pass. 1t
was carefully drawn solely with a view
of lettering the highways Of Wisconsin,
and was introduced by the Senate com
mittee on roads and bridges.
Now that the state has by amendment
to the constitution entered upon the
task of extending aid to road building
it is important that the work should be
started right.
A writer of great expert knowledge IF
road making and road legislation says
of the measures now before the legisIa-
ture:
The commission of three provided in
the Jones bill assembly 700 is appointed
by the Governor and is paid $500 each.
That named in the senate bill is an eX-
listing commission that is ex ofticio, out
of politics, and draws no pay. The
senate bill plan is in accord with the
recommendations of the q. S. Dept of
agriculture. and in the same form as the
commissions recently formed in Iowa,
Virginia and Georgia. The curse Of all
the older states giving state aid is poll
tics in the road work, and this eX -Otficio
commission provided in the senate bill
is designed for the purpose of keeping
the road work in this state as complete
" as possible out of politics.
Governor Davidson would no doubt
appoint good men for commissioners if
abe choice fell to him, but this highway
commission could exert a powerful poll
ticu influence if it chose, and some flu
ture governor would be sorely tempted
to appoint men for the reason that they
would help him or his party rather than
for their efficiency as road builders
This temptation should not be offered to
any governor or political party. The
present trouble in New York and Hi
nois is frankly avowed in the press to be
fight between the factions that wish
to control the rich spoils of the Highway
Commission in New York and the 20 mil
lion dollar drainage work in Illinois.
The senate bill provides system that
was worked out to suit our Wisconsin
conditions after the systems used in all
other states were actually computed out
with regard to our county valuations
and found to be inequitable under Wis
consin conditions. 1t provides that
each county shall have a right to a GER
tain Just amount of the state aid fund if
it chooses to build roads and no wealthy
county can take it away. If more
aid is asked than can be granted, (and
this is the case in all states giving add,
this bill leaves it to the county board to
to say in which order the roads in their
county shall be built, as they know best
which are most important.
1t is to be hoped that the wisely drawn
senate bill number 1872 may become a
law. 1t provides for good roads and for
a wise expenditure of state and local
funds
