Our Timber Supply.

The original forests of the United
riety of their timber exceeded the
forests OF any other region of similar
size on the globe. have been reduced
by cutting. clearing. and fire from an
acreage of $50 million to one of not
more than $50 million. with a total
stand OF some $500 billion board feet.
Most of our forests are private
property. About o6e-ffth of the stand
ing timber in the country is held by
the Federal Government in national
forests, Indian reservations, national
parks. and on the unreserved public
domain, and by the States In State
Preserves or other State lands. These
public forests contain more than 100
million acres Of saw timber.
The private forests are of two dis
tinct classes, ID farmers woodlots
and (2) large holdings, either individ-
ual or corporate. The woodlots are
chiefly scattered and detached rem
nants of the original forests. They are
mainly in the eastern half Of the I'm

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

OnQGr the aDONG ncdQ Glc hdASoo
City Times comments on the Commits
sion form of government as follows:
That the old ward system of city
government is responsible for increas-
ing municipal Indebtedness without
securing proportionate results Is de-
monstrated by the fact h a In Des
Monies where the commission plan
gave the people better government
the expenditures were kept within the
and the taxpayers were saw
ed the remarkable sum of $224.0O0 as
compared with the last year OF the
old plan. The old council left an in
~debtedness OF $119,0O above it's avail
able funds when it retired. The new
rule paid all bills and had sos. 900 in
cash at the end of the year
That Kansas City, Kans, would pro
fit by adopting the Des Moines plan
Is evident. Last year Kansas City.
Kans., received from all sources he
sum of $~934,07O.9S. 1t paid out in cash
for all purposes the sum of 81 %, 211.-
81. In other words, the municipality
expended $69, 200.39 In actual cash
more tha it received. Added to this
was an outstanding warrant issue of
$21,131.92, which would really bring
the total expenditure in excess of the
collections to $90,332.31. Recently the
city issued bonds to the amount OF
$165 900, the larger part of which
represented expenditures in the past
few year over and above h
nues.
Such a situation cannot be charge
able Il h present mayor and council
men OF Kansas City, Kans., nor to the
administrations in h past. They
were merely doing what practically ev'
cry city does under the old ward sys-
tenn and just what the last ADMINISTERS
ton under the old ward system iE
Des Moines did.
That 1t Is not the fault of individuals
in the city administration is enpha
sized by the fact that Kansas City
Kans., has a very representative body
of men in It's city council. The com
missioners in Des Moines are NO
more capable. neither are they more
loyal to the city's interests. But the
commission plan, while prohibiting
the contracting of debts over and
above the revenues, provides for the
conduct of the city's business in a
way that prevents waste and at the
same time gets results.
Under commission government II
would be impossible for the commits
sioners to expend one dollar more
than was received in any . fund. II
they did they would not only forfeit
their ONCE but every commissioner
who voted to issue such a warrant
would be responsible upon his bond.
Under the commission plan the PEG
pie would be Informed at stated per
iods as to the exact condition of the
city's finances. There Is no prcvis
ion now for such information and Il
is safe to assume hat but few tax
payers In the city know that the mu

grows successfully. In addition. they
take portions Of skin from limbs Of

grows. Now. will somebody tell US
what that youth will resemble when he

ter the regular canine fashion. but II
so, the boy will carry about with him
as many different kinds OF dog as there
were varieties Of skin on the puppies

EVANS AND THE NAVY.

Rear Admiral Evans is among the
list of those who are pining for a big
ger navy. Whether he is Influenced by
excess OF Rooseveltism or jingoism, or
both. we cannot say but he gives 1t as
his opinion that forty-eight battleships
would be our best guaranty Of peace.
!rhe falIacy of such arguments is thus
net out by The New Bedford Standard:
There is a far greater probability
that they would be considered by q
good many persons forty-eight OF
The best reasons for going TO war; NO
proof furnished ths< the heaping UP OF
munitions of war n o preventative OF
war A boy in a vcantry town not
miles n away asxed What Hs ad do YOU
want q pistol for?" asked the father.
ITO defend myself" replied the boya
"My son. returned the father. i've neen
n constable of this town good many
years, and I've never carried pistol
yet or needed one. If you have pis-
foL the chances are you'll get into
Fsion on a well-known trait of human
mature. II the boy were given pis-
itol he would be looking for chances to
use it and would probably use ~ as
should not. If the rty-eight battle
ships were constructed and put into
commission there would be plenty OF
people who would think 1t pity IL
Whey couldn't be used for their legiti-
mate purpose The ships would guar
tantee nothing except an itching to see
them go out and whip somebody.
Admiral Evans ought to know that
continually charging our navy is some
thing like the proverbial chip on a bull
ily's shoulder, which other pugnaciously
inclined people look on as a dare. II
our Government keeps on building more
and greater vessels of war the other
great nations are bound to think we
have some Interior object in view and
will resent 1t accordingly. 1t would be
as If Uncle Sam should place a chip on
his shoulder and go about the earth
daring somebody to knock it of.
The Standards reference to the boy
who wanted a pistol Is appropriate.
Much of the disorder and crime of the
country would be avoided If no pistols
were carried, but not only the boy, but
the man who always has a gun u his
intended and possibly commit crime
for which there is no palliation. The
argument that a big navy is a guar
anty OF peace is not only fallacious and
untenable, but Is hurtful and unwise,
We have in this country a class of
men in prominent places who seem to
think that our country is always in
danger unless we continue to increase
our naval strength and numbers. Such
men would bankrupt the Government
and bring on the very disaster they
profess to be guarding against.
