FoREsTERs' CONVENTION.

The meeting of forestry officials in
this city indicates that Salt Lake is
the central point, the place most con.
venicnt for them all to assemble. The
sessions are secret, which is not well,
as the effect is to shut out the CO.
operation of practical men who know
conditions, locations, and needs thor
oughly in all the different parts Of the
mountain country. The ideal conven-
tion would be one in which the old.
timers of practical knowledge would
be heard.
The grazing question is live one
hereabouts, aggravated by differences
with the sheepmen, who oppose the re-
strictive policies of the service. They
don t want the number of sheep to be
grazed lessened; and they want to co.
operate with the forestry service in
maintaining the ranges in good condi-
tion. A method Of diong this would
be to lay out grazing tracts and lease
to the same person Il given tract for
stated number of years, so that it
would be to his direct interest to keep
the grazing in good form from year to
year. But, whatever is done, there
should be an element of permanence
in it, so that the sheep owners would
not be confronted with new conditions

HALF.YEARLY TAX PAYMENTS.

Among tho measures proposed at the
recent session Of the Legislature, but
which failed Of enactment, was bill
to provide for the semiannual pay
mont of taxes. II is measure that,
at first blush, does not seem to have
much merit, but on reflection, and es-
pecially in consideration of our pres
ent taxing system, there is good deal
10 be said in the favor of semiannual
payment Of taxes. First of all, rs ap-
piled TO the individual, it gives the
property owner chance to pay in in
stallments, encouraging him to pay rs
much as possible in the spring, and to
finish in the fall, when presumably the
average man is closing up his year s
business,
From the public standpoint, there is
good deal of attractiveness in the
proposition, for, rs it is now, all tax
ing entities in the State run n good
part Of the year on credit. They have
10 borrow money to pay their current
expenses and pay interest on that
money. This is true Of the State, of
the counties, and of the cities, and Of
the school districts The interest ac-
count is considerable when all these
different tax units are taken into the
account. II is said also that, in places
where scmiannual payments have been
adopted, there has been large de-
crease in delinquencics. and that it
makes tax paying easier for a large
portion Of the property owners; and,
above all, it saves large amounts of
interest on short loans. Besides all
this, there is not necessarily anything
compulsory in the proposition for semi
annual tax payments. The enactment
of law providing for them would
not embarrass anybody; it would make
no change except where the property
owner might desire to avail himself of
the advantages which in the law the
first payment would offer, while it
wonld keep the public treasures in
funds all the time, without borrowing.
The measure did not receive in the
recent Legislature the consideration
that it ought to have attracted. We
believe that, in view of our special
circumstances here, and in view Of the
constant need of the public to borrow
money in its various capacities, as
school districts, cities, counties, and
State, that the proposition would be a
most advantageous one all round.

THE PRESIDENTS PURPOSE.

The forecast and summary of the
message that President Taft will de-
liver to the extra session of Congress
has been, no doubt. fairly given i'll the
dispatches. If the President can havc
his way, the extra session will confine
itself to two measures only. First, the
ratification of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, and second, the putting on
firm basis of the tariff board. upon
which he so much depends for light
upon the whole tariff question. While
still being firmly of the opinion that
the tariff should be revised schedule
by schedule, his idea is that this re
vision should not begin until report
can he had from the tariff board for
the enlightenment and guidance Of
Congress in whatever action it may
seem fit to take. And this seems to
be sound conclusion,
The message thus outlined would un
doubtedIy be one of great strength.
IT would be less disturbing to business
than any other action which could be
taken, and Congress should be guided
by il, There is no doubt but that a
statement of tho conclusions of body
Of experts, such as are supposed to
constitute the tariff board. would be of
the most helpful character to Congress
when it undertakes to revise the tariff,
schedule by schedule or otherwise. The
great difficulty heretofore in dealing
with the tariff question has been lack
of information pertaining to the case,
wherever any schedule. or any detail
of schedule, came under discussion.
This was exemplified time after time
in the extra session of 1909, when va
rious questions arose. The need Of
specific and exact information WAS so
ev ient and so pressing, that it seemed
like sheer perversitv for the SeGat5 20
oppose the creation of a tariff board
that would throw needed light on ques
tions that were so little understood.
President Taft seems TO assume that
the extra session will ratify the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. Probably
he has a pretty good understanding
with the Democratic leaders on this
point The ratification can be expected
TO go through the lower House without
much delay; and without unreasonable
delay probably it will be ratified in the
Senate also. And then, if the extra
session will adjourn with the minimum
of tariff revision, it will prove a wise
move from the buSjucsS standDoint and
also miraculously good politics.

Little Rock, June 26.-For the first time in the knowledge of the Arkan- sas river valley cotton-grower his cot. ton has been attacked by the grass hopper pest supposed to be the pc culiar curse of the plains. Warden McCook of the state convict farm in Lincoln county, reports that two weeks ago cloud of grass-hoppers attacked the cotton on the buckshot land of the plantation, and ate the plants clean as they went. The cotton was from four to 10 inches in height, and the hoppers left only the bare stalks. They did not bother the cotton on the sandy land, which is considered re- markable by those familiar with the habits of the hopper on land where there is nothing but sand.

 Since that time citizens living in Fort Smith who are anxious that Ar kansas and not Oklahoma should re- ceive the taxes on the property situ- ated on this strip of land, have con- municated with General Norwood and agreed to advance the necessary funds to pay the expenses of the litigation.

MINING COMPANIES
 10 RESUME WORK
FULL TIME IS UNLIKELY
ALREADY INCREASED ACTIV- ITY IS BEING MANIFESTED
 AT MINES.

Fort Smith, June 26.-Althougn official announcement is lacking, it IS generally expected that a majority of the big coal mining companies in western Arkansas and eastern Oklaho- ma will shortly resume operations again. In some quarters it is expect ed that operations will commence as early as July l, but it is generally said that most of those who contemplate resuming will not do so until the mid dle of July. The mines, however, will ont open with full time, it is said.
 At Huntington the mines are op- erating at half time. The mines at McCurtain resumed operations last Thursday after strike of week or so. More than 400 miners are now at work in that city.
 The Rock Island Coal Mining Com pany announces, through Superin- tendent Evans, that it will resume op- eratons at Hartshorne, Okla, July 1. Mines No. ', 8 and 40 will be operated at full time, it is said No. 1 of the HaileyOla Coal Company at Hailey- vile is expected to open Monday, al- though this is denied by the officials. Col. Busby of McAlester is expect ed to resume operation in his mines by July 1.
 The Rock Island Railway Company has awarded the contracts for 37,0O0 tons of coal to three McCurtain coun- ty mine companies. The Great Vest ern Coal and Coke Company secures 15,000 tons, Hailey-Olo Coal Company 12,000 and Degnan & Mcconnell 10,- 900 tons. These orders formerly were placed with Arkansas companies.
