beginning probably in the spring oi
1o11-these will be set out in trans
plant beds, where they will be expect
ed to develop in two more years into
respectable young trees. Thence they
will be removed to their permanent
home in the hills of the Lolo National
Forest.
Planting and direct seeding will be
done on the great burned areas visible
to passengers on the trains Of the
Coeur d'Alene branch, and also on ex-
tensive burns around the head waters
of the Rattlesnake river in the Mis-
soula Forest. The work is designed
to add to the national timber supply in
the coming years and to aid in the
regulation OF the flow of Montana
mountain waters. The Sayenac Nurs-
cry will bring the aggregate annual
plant-producing capacity of the twenty
five National Forest nurseries up to
ten million seedlings.

State Land Officials to See BaIIinger

E. w. Ross, state land commissioner,
and w. P. Bell, attorney general, leave
this week for the national capital to
meet with Secretary Ballinger and with
western senators and representatives,
for the purpose of securing amend
ments to departmental rules and pro-
visions made in pending federal land
legislation which will enable the state
to get relatively fair treatment from the
federal government with respect to its
land grants.
These state officials argue that every
rule of the department, every techni-
cality that can be urged has been
raised against state selections and at
the same time similar technicalities
have not been raised against either
private selections or against railroad
grant lieu selections. They also insist
that none OF the measures pending in
congress on which they have been
able to secure data makes any provi-
sion to guard the states interests.
The United States owes the state
thousands of acres of lands in addition
to the large area of state lands within
forest reserves, yet rulings Of the de-
partment for more than year have ab-
solutely set aside the enabling act pro-
visions and have prevented the state
getting an acre Of these lands. They
also declare absurd and wrongful the
suggestion that the state surrender its
thousands of acres of lands within for
est reserves to the federal government
and take lieu land and scrip for equal
areas outside the reserves, because
there is little government land Of any
value outside the reserves, and none SC
valuable as the timber lands the state
has within the reserves.

A PINE TREE NURSERY
Planting Trees on Burned Over Areas
VIII Prevent Snow Slides

A few weeks hence, when the frost
is out Of the ground, the Department
of Agriculture will plant new garden
to raise a million and half pine seedl-
ings.
The Savenac Nursery, the twenty
fifth OF its kind maintained by the De-
partment of Agriculture for its forest
work, is situated in the Lolo National
Forest on Savenac creek, Montana,
near De Borgia. The ground was
plowed and narrowed last fall, the irri-
CATION bitches run, and an ample water
system installed. The tract will be
laid out in $50 beds, each four feet by
twelve. Over these will be broadcast
the best OF the seeds OF native conifers
gathered in the Forest the past autumn.
To prevent mice and birds from eating
the seeds each bed will be protected
by lath and wire frame. This will
also serve to shade the delicate plant
lets during the tender period Of their
first years life. A water system will
supply the means OF sprinkling the
seeds and irrigating the young trees
during the warmer, dryer months. One
man will be kept constantly at work
watering the thirsty soil and otherwise
caring for his interesting charge.
The Savenac Nursery will have an
annual productive capacity Of l,S00,-
900 seedlings. When one year old

MAY COME OUT FOR CONGRESS
Jno. A. Geilatiy May be the Stand-Pat
Candidate from the Third
District

If John A. Gellatly, three times
mayor Of Wenatchee, enters the race
for the seat in congress left vacant in
the Third district by Miles Poindexter
it will not be as an insurgent. To a
Spokesman-Review representative May
or Gellatly said:
In case I decide to enter the race
for congress it will be as republican,
pledged to all that that party stands
for. If should be elected I will not
deem it my business to attack the
speaker or curse the rules unless I
have personally found one or both
faulty.
II am not in sympathy with muck
raking so prevalent on every hand.
This everlasting denouncing of public
officials in general by innuendo and
otherwise is keeping the best men out
OF office.
THE same can be said of the man
ner in which the corporation question
is handled. The business corporation
is an institution that has come to stay.
It has its function in American busi-
ness affairs and no one doubts its legit-
innate necessity. But the word cor
poration' is so pliable in the hands Of
these designing writers that danger
Gus misconception of the whole prob
lem is lowering over the populace.
This Pinchot-Roosevelt agitation is
becoming tiresome. Roosevelt never
had a more ardent admirer than my
self, but he served his time, and
served it capably.
TAFT is making good and will have
the full support and endorsement OF
the one who vouchsafed his administra-
ton when he returns f-nm Africa.
Il am unequivocally in favor Of a
sane and stable conservation policy for
all our natural resources, and in this
connec ton favor a plan that not only
protects and promotes these resources
for future generations, but plan that
encourages development now.
The development Of all feasible
irrigation projects is hobby with US,
and l believe that no other thing will
do so much for our nation as making
available this great asset. Improvement
OF our rivers and harbors to carry and
care for the traffic OF the country should
receive especial consideration"
Mr.. Gellatly was born in northern
California 40 years ago, lived in Ore
gon the greater part Of his life and
went to Wenatchee in 1900. He fol-
lows the abstract business and has an
apple orchard near the city. He has
several times been elected mayor OF
Wenatchee, besides serving in other
public places of trust.

THE CENSUS ENUMERATION
Law Provides a Penalty for Failure to
Answer Al and TruthfuIIy the
Questions Asked

A Proclamation by the President Of the
United States OF America:
Whereas by the Act of Congress ap-
proved July Q, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census Of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the
fifteenth day Of April, nineteen hun
dred and ten; and
Whereas a correct enumeration Of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution Of the
United States for the purpose OF deter
mining the representation of the several
States in the House Of Representatives;
and
Whereas it is of the utmost import
ance to the interests of all the people
OF the United States that this census
should be a complete and accurate re-
port Of the population and resources Of
the country:
Now, therefore, l, William Howard
Taft, President OF the United States of
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the act aforesaid, it
is the duty Of every person to answer
all questions on the census schedules
applying to him and the family to
which he belongs, and TO the farm oc-
cupied by him or his family, and that
any adult refusing to do so is subject
to penalty.
The sole purpose Of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are required
from individuals only in order to per-
nit the compilation Of such general
statistics. The census has nothing to
do with taxation, with army or jury
service, with the compulsion of school
attendance, with the regulation of i'm
migration, or with the enforcement OF
any national, state, or local law or ordi-
nance, nor can any person be harmed
in any way by furnishing the informa-
ton required. There need be no fear
that any disclosure will be made re-
garding any individual person or his
affairs. For the due protection Of the
rights and interests of the persons fur
nishing information every employe OF
the Census Bureau is prohibited, under
heavy penalty, from disclosing any in
formation which may thus come to his
knowledge.
I therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, COM
pletely, and accurately, all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumerators
or other employees Of the Census Bu-
reau, and thereby to contribute their
share toward making this great and
necessary public undertaking a great
success.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington this
fifteenth day Of March, AID. one thous-
and nine hundred and and ten, and Of
the independence Of the United States
of America the one hundred and
thirty-fourth.
Seal VIM. H. TAFT.

Borah on Income Tax Amendment

Senator Borah OF Idaho takes
gloomy view Of the future of the in
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution, and from his place on the
floor delivered to the senate warning
that should be needed by that body,
but probably will not, for the reason
that this measure was conceived in
trickery and with no honest purpose
that it should become law Among
other things Senator Borah told the
senate:
You can defeat this amendment.
In view of the class of men who are
joining the crusade against it I think
you will defeat it. The forces which
propose to encompass its defeat will
not stop on the hither side of the most
disreputable methods to accomplish
their purpose. But when the people
learn what you have really done, the
manner in which this has been manip-
ulated, it will go far toward exciting
to renewed force that feeling of wrath,
of class hatred already too strong among
US. 1t will do much to foster disre-
spect for and breed disloyalty to the
the government. When those who are
i'll able to meet the burdens of govern
ment see its enormous expenditures
continue to increase, larger armies and
larger navies, increased burdens every
where, and learn furthermore that all
this must be met by tax on consump-
ton, while incomes which sustain lux
ury and breed idleness and idiocy go
untaxed, they will have little mercy
with you in the hour in which you
must plead with them against radical
changes in the government. do not
know how long we can deal with pa
tient people in this way. But 1 ven
ture to prophecy not much longer.
Il hope, therefore, the governors
and legislatures Of this country will be
brave enough to do their duty in this
matter. 1t is time the people in this
broad land bestirred themselves upon
this vital question before it is too late
to do so. 1t would be nothing less
than a catastrophe if this amendment
should be defeated, if we are going,
also, to be cut off from an appeal to
the court. This is in every sense the
peoples fight
Senator Borah belongs to the pro-
gessive wing Of the republican party,
but is not extreme or radical in his
views. He understands quite plainly
the nature of the still hunt that is be-
ing conducted in the state Legislatures
to prevent ratification of the amend
ment. He knows that the proposition
of submission was not adopted in good
faith by congress, but was merely part
of the game of trickery worked at the
expense Of Mr.. Taft, who is merely a
novice in politics, easily imposed upon
by the old parliamentary hands.
1t is perfectly well known that the
proposition to include in the tariff law
provision for an income tax would
have commanded majority of con-
gress. To avoid this contingency the
tricksters persuaded the president that
it would be more in accord with the
proprieties of legislation to submit an
amendment to the constitution. They
know quite well how difficult it is to
secure ratification of a constitutional
amendment, and they understood,
none better, how easily sufficient
minority Of the Legislatures might be
worked to defeat the measure.

Engiand's Great Revolution

According to the Chronicle, an or
gan Of the English government, the
plan for the reform of the house Of
lords, upon which the government will
appeal to the country if defeated, pro-
vides for the establishment Of second
chamber of 200 to 240 members,
elected for a term OF seven or nine
years. Peers or commoners above the
age Of 40 years are to be eligible for
election, and will be elected by the
present parliamentary voters, grouped
in larger constituencies. The plan
further provides that the new chamber
shall have no power in finance, but ad-
visory and delaying power in legisla-
ton, and that differences between the
two houses shall be adjusted by joint
sittings.
