4 Nationwide Questioz.

The majority report in favor Of the
Weeks national forest bill, among
other things, says Years ago the
original states of the east obtained
BY purchase and cession a great
national domain west OF the Misaia-
sIppi. Out of this domain many of the
states OF the west were carved and en-
dowed with all the rights Of the
original thirteen. To their develop
ment the older states contributed By
liberal legislation, investments. and By
the initiation of great national I'm
proYement enterprises for which the
whole country, not the new states
alone, contributed the funds. Finally.
for the good of the whole, for the pro-
lection and welfare OF the future Of
this western country, the nation took
out Of the market millions of acres Of
Its lands. gave up jts expectation Of
returns to the amount of over 500.
100000, in which all would have
shared, In order that benefcent for
eetg might be maintained in perneIu-
iIy In the western mountains. that 4
supply of timber might be assured for
all time to the people OF these states.
and that the necessary flow of their
streams might be maintained.
In the meanwhile, the crowding Of
civilization, the insietent demands Of
the market, the wasteful manner Of
handling and the ravages of fire had
been devastating the southern and
eastern mountains, which had passed
into private ownership long before It
vas realized that there could ever
come a time when the necessity of
conserving the natural resources Of
this rich country would become an Is
sue of supreme Importance alike 10
the present and the future. Not only
was the timber supply threatened
With exhaustion, but the flow Of
numerous rivers, whose waterpoHera
furnish SO much of wealth and em-
ployment, was In Jeopardy. and.
through erosion, sitting, and irregular
flow. the nayigability of many OF them
vas endangered. The plea OF the peo-
PIE OF the northeast and southeast for
relief was brought to Congress more
than decade ago, and Is now before
