DAMAGES AWARDED
GOVERNMENT
For the Destruction of Young
Forest Growth

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National Forest brought
by the United States against the
Missouri River and Northwestern
Railroad, the jury has awarded dam
ages to the Government not only for
the loss of merchantable timber but
also for the destruction of unmer-
charitable young growth.
This is regarded by Government Of
fcials as establishing very impor-
tant precedent. So far as is known
at the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, it is the first time that any
court has recognized what foresters
call the 'expectaton value" of young
growth as furnishing a basis for the
award of damages. The difficulty in
the way of such an award in the past
has been that there was no way to
prove to the satisfaction of the courts
the money value of the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota
case followed the presentation of
evidence as to the cost of work in
reforesting which the Government is
actually doing in the Black Hills.
The amount claimed for the young
growth burned was Sl2 an acre, and
the claim under this item was allowed
in full by the jury. The total amount
of damages claimed was So, 72S.S5, of
which So. .634 as was for merchantable
timber destroyed or injured by the
fire.
1t is recognized by foresters that
the cost of artificial reforestation will
not always furnish a fair basis for es-
timating the damage to forest repro
duction. Where new growth can be
expected by natural sowing from seed
trees on the ground within short
time, artificial planting or sowing is
an unnecessarily expensive method
To meet such cases what are known
as ''yield tables" are being prepared
By.the use Of these the loss can be
shown in terms of the final crop anG
the time necessary to produce it.
Thus, if it is known that ten thous
and feet of timber per acre can be
cut once in seventy years, it is easy
to calculate the value of the croI
when it is ten years old by discount
ing from it's value when mature Ii
European countries where forestry
has been long practiced this methoc
is regularly applied in selling, con
demning, or estimating damages or
forest property. 1t is also usec
abroad in insurance, which would be
impracticable if there were not bolf
an accepted basis for determining the
loss suffered and reasonably accurate
knowledge of the hazard involved

culture, Forest Service.

Chauncey l.. Wood Repudi-
atee the Official Acts of
His Fellow DemocrateS

In his efforts to scare unsuspectine
voters into voting for him, Chauncey
L. Wood, democratic nominee fol
Governor, has repudiated those dem,
ocrats who were members of the last
legislature.
Candidate Wood is daily attacking
+ three laws enacted by the legislature
Of 1909 and proposed amendment tc
the state constitution, as follows:
No. IA law giving the governor
power to remove local officers in the
state who either neglect or refuse tc
perform their sworn duties.
No. "A law designed to permit of
the reorganization of the state
national guard.
No. "a law relating to fire insur-
ance and having for it's sole purpose
the standardization Of fire insurance
policies used in the state.
No. "A proposed taxation amend
ment to the constitution which viii
enable the proper authorities tc
equitably tax express companies.
How did the democratic members
of the legislature vote on these laws
and proposed amendment to the state
constitution?
The records of the last legislature
show that all of the nine in the
house voted for No. l. All of the
democrats in the senate also voted for
the measure.
No. 2 was voted for by six demo.
cratic members of the house, will
one lone democrat recorded against
it. In the senate the vote for the
measure was unanimous, five demo
Gratis being present and all voting fol
the measure.
No. 3 was voted for by three demo
cratic members of the house, with
five voting no, and one being absent
In the senate one democratic senator
was absent and the other five demo
cratic senators all voted for the
measure.
No. 4, the proposed taxation amend
ment was voted for by all five demo
cratic members of the house who
were present. four Of the nine demo
cratic members being absent. In tht
senate two democratic senators were
absent and the other four all votet
for the measure.
Thus Candidate Wood is daily repu
dating the official record of the dem
ocratic members of the legislature
A candidate of any party certainly is
in sore straits when, in the effort tt
win votes for himself, he has to repu
diate the record made by members O.
his own party.
The democratic members of thu
legislature who voted for the above
measure and for the proposed taxation
amendment, and their friends, with
out doubt have just cause for a feel
ing OF resentment toward the stand
ard-bearer of their party in the pres
ent campaign.
AT the election in November the,
will have an opportunity to dc some
repudiating on their own account
and Candidate Wood should be tn,
object Of their wrath.
