Antwerp, or Hamburg seems remote
For several years rubber imports to
Bordeaux largely and steadily increas-
ed, but with the beginning of 1907
there was noted quite falling of, a
similar state of affairs continuing in
1908.
Opinions differ as to the causes for
this condition. some ascribing 1t to the
almost universal slump in trade con-
sequent upon the financial crises in
the United States, Chile, Mexico, Ger
many, Argentina, and Denmark. 9th
ers think II due to the fact that the
African rubber for time showed such
a deterioration In quality that the de-
mand sensibly leSsened,
In the year 1899, when its importa-
ton became important. Bordeaux re-
ceiyed It's tons OF crude rubber. In
1902, the receipts increased to 200
tons, in 1903 it ran up to lib tons;
In 1904 to 1.1S3 tons; In 1905 to 1880
tons, and In 1906 to 1916 tons. With
the beginning of 1907, the Importation
began to decline somewhat, there hav-
Ing been imported in that year but
1876 tons. In the present year, the
falling of has been noticeable also;
the total amount received from jan
uary / to October 81 having been 90S
tons. against 1876 tons for the same
period In 1907,
The importers seem confident that
the decline is only temporary and they
think that with the removal of the
causes that have operated unfavorably
there will be decided improvement

greatly increased activity in crude rub
Der as In other branches of trade
Then the great improvement IN tho
quality Of the product of the African
field, due TO the energetic government
measures adopted to prevent fraud.
have resulted in better quality of
rubber.
The native growers In Africa not
only learned to hold their supplies OF
rubber for a higher market, but they
also developed Ideas of fraud and
adulteration. It was discovered some
time ago that many of them. before
bringing in their rubber to the trading
posts for sale, thoroughly stepped the
fresh gum In water, a process that
added to the weight, but seriously i'll
jured its quality.

The annual lumber shipments, 9ii'

This decrease was due probably as
much to the general business depres-

the lumber supply in the territory
bordering on the Lakes.

takes nothing short OF moral revolu

the governor himself. in recent
speech before the Hughes Alliance;
Experience shows that under the
present system the voters of the party,
except there Is some mighty upheayal,
have very little to say. and when one
or more get into control OF the ma
chinery they control the nominations
and virtually appoint those who will
stand as the party representatives
This Is not representative govern
ment'
In answer to an argument that had
been made much of by his opponents,
that the elimination of the nominating
convention was step toward over
throwing representative government,
he said:
Representative government is gov
ernment through representatives. We
choose officers to do for us what we
can not do, or do not think 1t wise to
undertake ourselves Now II we elect
a governor by direct vote of the peo-
pie how Is 1t subversion of repre-
sentative government for the enrolled
voters of a party to choose their can
didate for governor by direct vote? II
We elect an assemblyman In an assem-
bly, district by direct vote of the voters
In that district, why should not the
members Of the party in that district
decide directly who should be their
representative as candidate for the
assembly? Is the one any the less
representative government than the
other?"

INCREASE IN FOREST BUSINESS

The actual use of the varied resour-
ces of the governments 16S.000,000
acres OF national forest land is on the
increase. according TO the report Of the
work for the fiscal year 1908. The
report says that from an administra-
tive standpoint the most striking fact
of the year was the remarkable In
crease which took place in the volume
Of business transacted.
This growth In business done by the
United States forest service last year
over the previous year Is partly
brought out In the following state,
ment showing percentages of in
crease
In the number Of timber sales, 236
per cent; In the amount of timber cut
under sales, 102 per cent; in the num-
Der of free umbor permits, 76 per cent:
in the number Of grazing permits. IL
per cent, and In the number of special
use permits, 67 per cent That the
additions to existing national forests
and new creations caused this increase
only to small extent is shown by
the fact that the area increased is only
IL per cent. In speaking of this fea-
ture of the work OF the forest service.

INDEX TO BUSINESS.

The volume of traffic on the Great
Lakes during the season OF 1908, as

merchandise from the various lake
ports. was 60,518.024 net tons, COM
pared with S3.506.991 and 1869, ,64S
net tons shipped during the 1907 and
1906 seasons. The considerable de-
crease In the 1908 total was due main.
" TO the smaller shipments of iron
ore, though the shipments of all other
principal Items, except hard coal and
salt, also show smaller totals than a
year ago.
