Must Use Spark Arresters

An important step toward preserv.
Ing the forests of the North vest from
damaging fires, has been taken by
the state fire wardeDs OF Washington,
IN ordering all locomotives to use
practical spark arresters, says an ex-
change. Railroads falling to comply
with this order will see their engines
stopped from operating by state
officials. A great percentage OF forest
fires are started by locomotive sparks,
or sparks from logging engines. The
transcontinental lines have generally
shown q willingness to take proper
precautions. but even the big roads
have been occasional offenders, and
smaller lines, including many logging
roads have never paid any attention
to the law requiring spark arresters.
The Washington fre association,
organized by timber owners to protect
the forests, brought the matter to the
attention Of the state officers and the
law will be strictly enforced. Other
northwestern states will be asked to
cooperate in this plan In the hope Of
saving many thousands 0f dollars
worth OF timber this year.

METHODIST CHAUTAUQUA
Rathdrum May Become Perma-
nent Site.
TABERNACLE MAY Be BUILT
Grounds to be Connected With
Light and Water.

In last weeks issue the Tribune
published the program announced
for the Methodist camp meeting
and district conference to be held
in Rathdrum June 80 to July 10.
The site for the meeting and
Chautauqua was chosen by the
commission appointed at the last
meeting of the conference and
consisting of the Rev. Andrew
Warner of Rathdrum, the Rev. A..
A. Luce of Spokane, DR.. Henry
Brown Of Post Falls, the Rev. H.
P. Ide of Deer Park, Wash, and
the Rev. A. H. Morton of Sand
point. In choosing Rathdrum as
the site for the meeting, the COM
mission also took into considera-
tion sites offered at Coeur d'Alene,
St Maries and Standpoint.
The meeting, as heretofore an
nounced, is to be held in the pine
groves of Brownies addition. 1t
is reported plans are on foot for
the erection of tabernacle and to
connect the grounds with electric
lights and water system.
There is thought to be strong
likelihood that the grounds will
later be leased or bought and that
Rathdrum will be permanent
meeting place for the Chautauqua.

SOCIALISM GREAT PROBLEM
President Taft Believes Republican
Party Can Solve It.

President Taft at jackson, Mich,
June 4, proclaimed socialism as the
great problem that confronts the
American people-the issue that soon
must be skllfully met. BY its history
he declared, the republican party had
shown itself capable of dealing with
the great questions effectively and
wisely, and he predicted that the
people must soon determine whether
it shall trust the same party with the
solution of that problem "than which
we have had no greater IN the history
Of the country"
Mr.. Taft spoke with great earnest
ness and his remarks. coming as a re-
iteration to brief reference to social
ism ia his speech at Ada, Ohio,
seemed deeply to impress his hearers
By many, his words were taken as
framing an issue for the coming cam
paign.
The president disclaimed anv pur-
pose OF making a partisan address,
but the occasion Of his visit to Jack
son was the unveiling of bronze
tablet commemorating the organiza-
tion of the republican party "under
the oaks" In 1854, and he could not
altogather refrain from comparison
of the party with its opponents which
was not altogether favorable to the
opponents.
He also declared that popular gov
erbment must be government OF
parties, and 10 this connection there
was just passing hint at insurgency.
The president declared that unless
individuals are willing to slnk minor
considerations to the will of the
majority in a party there would come
rule by groups.
"In that event." he added, "the
Lord knows where your government
would be and what it would accom-
plish."

THE INTERNAL REVENUE
Treasury Department Reports
Healthy Growth.
The AIR SHIP PROBLEM
Speculation on How to Cope With
Aerial Smugglers.

Washington, D. c., June a.
Reports from the treasury depart
ment Indicate a very healthy
growth of the internal revenue.
There are twenty million more
dollars to the credit of this source
than there were in June of last
year. For the month of May
there were in round numbers three
millions and a half of receipts
over regular disbursements. This
sum, however, was not inclusive
OF the disburse ments on account OF
the Panama Canal or the public
debt. The canal disbursements
for May were four millions. The
customs or tariff receipts for May
show falling off, but those from
internal revenue have, as stated
above, increased more than twenty
millions over the receipts for 1909.
The secretary of the treasury is
calculating on twentyseven million
dollars revenue from the corpora
tion tax, which will be available
for current expenses. II, however,
the supreme court should declare
the corporation tax law unconsti-
tutional, it is thought that bond
issue would be necessary for re-
funding the money. The total
cash in the treasury on the 1st of
June was $I,7o8, 1879 The
decrease of the public debt during
May was $4,000.
The administration and regular
republicans are congratulating
themselves on the Payne-tariff as
revenue producer. They hold
that it has had nothing to do with
the increased cost of food stuffs,
and stand pat republicans are ex-
pecting to 60 before the country
in the coming congressional cam
paign with these arguments, in
sisting that high living is found in
other countries as we'll as in the
United States and this proves that
the Payne-tariff has nothing to do
with increased cost here.
Apropos of the tariff, how are
custom house and custom house
officers going to protect themselves
against smuggling air-ships of the
monoplane, biplane and other
plane varieties? 1t is said that the
United States and Mexico are
negotiating a treaty to prevent
these smugglers in the air doing
business along the border. II
would seem that Canada also will
have to be considered in similar
negotiations, and from all that can
be learned from the temper ol
Canadians on this subject, they
will probably be less disposed tc
treat than Mexico. 1t is said that
in the treaty with Mexico air-ships
on both sides of the boundary viii
be required to take out licenses
| and carry Identification tags with
clearance papers, etc. But it i:
probable that certain aerial SNUG
glers will be able to flank custom
houses and custom house detec'
tives. 1t is sufficiently difficult te
keep up with those smugglers who
are earth-bound, and there is ne
doubt very thrifty business il
smuggling carried on over ou

frontiers. But even by doubling
