Some congressman are demanding
that Congress shall adjourn in order
that they may collect the money al
lowed them for travel TO and from
their homes. They are not asking FOR
the perquisite in order that they may
spend the money going home, for that
would leave nothing in their pockets.
What the congressman want is such
an addition to their salaries as would
come from the difference between their
travel cost and their travel allowance.
The motive is as petty as the perquis-
tie. II there is no other way of get
ting the laws the country needs the
little levy must bc paid but it will
leave its mark on whoever takes it,.
Congress is paid 10y the year. and many
would prefer that 1t should take eleven
months holiday But grant of mile
age money as a gift, not for travel, is
objectionable

TIMBER SUPPLY
IS UNCERTAIN
Intensive Forestry Must Be Un-

| Washington, Nov, 2i,-Aftcr the re-
manning virgin timber of the United
states is exhausted. forest supplies
! will have To come from national for
csts, state forests. or from privately
owned land; but federal and state for
csts, according to Il. \. Sterling, di-
citation, who addressed the national

constitute only onc-lifth of the total
! forest area of the country.
"Ou private lands" he says. the
timber of the future will be either
such growth which has sprung up vol
unfairly ON cutover land and has man
aged to escape fire, or that from areas
which have been devoted 10 forest
production as business enterprise.
SO far the practice of private for
ostry has been mainly confined 10
small operations, often more for pleas
ure than for profit An intensive for
est policy on a scale large enough To
establish its commercial feasibility has
not Yet heCn undertaken.
Private forestry i'm the United
States has been retarded by many in
iluences among the more important
are large stored mp timber supplies,
comparatively low stumpage and lum.
Der values, lack of market for many
minor forest products, and a public
sentiment which has not realized that
forest production is essentially the
growing of successive crops.
Present tendencies in private for
csuy indicate a more logical develop
mcnt than at any time since forest
conservation became i'm issue. In
stead of attempting To put immediate
~ into effect complete policies and an
intensive management which are sci
Cntitcally correct, the things now b.
Ing attempted are the logical steps
which will ultimately lead to systCm-
attic. longtime management of private
forest lands. The private owner is
learning that fire protection is possible
and that it pays. With this fact es-
tablished, other things will be taken
up and worked out until the pro-
gressive timber land owner Will find
that he is practicing the kind Of fer
cstry which pays in this country.
I'm word private forestry. as it
can bc properly practiced i'm the Unit

forestry of Germany, but the applica

regeneration. These principles APP
