STATE HOUSE.
Favors a Commission
of Lands and Forests

Frank E. Mace of Augusta, State
land agent and forest commissioner, in
his annual report, which was filed with
the Governor and Council Friday,
strongly opposes contemplated
change in the law which would abolish
the office of land agent and create a
commission of lands and forests, who
should appoint business manager
who would virtually be land agent
Commissioner Mace speaks as follows:
my attention has been called. with
in the past month, to plan Of some of
the people of Maine who are interested
in it's forests, to present a bill to the
next legislature to abolish the office of
state land agent and forest commits
sioner, and in their stead to have the
Governor appoint a Commission of
Lands and Forests composed of three
men, one to serve for three years, one
for two years and one for one year
thereafter, they to appoint a business
manager who will be virtually the land
agent.
Il most earnestly advise the incom-
ing legislature not to pass such a
law One of the arguments advanced
IS to take the office out of politics.
do not agree in this proposition as 1
think any Governor should have the
privilege of selecting his own officials
to cooperate with him. It has been
my experience in the past, not only in
this state but in other states. that
when commissions were formed, in
stead Of one head, that the state has
not gained anything in efficiency, and
the IF tho rfr
ways been increased Under this plan
a commission would be appointed con-
slsting Of three men. If they did not
receive an ample salary to enable
them to give sufficient time to their
duties it would not be of much bene
mt to the state. On the other hand. if
they received good salaries and then
employed a forester to perform the du-
ties of the office. whatever salaries
they might receive would be. in nv
opinion, almost an absolute waste to
the state.
The land agent and the forest COM
missioner at the present time has sole
charge of lands owned by the state or
held IN trust by it. He also has SUI
PerVlslon over the state nursery at Or
ono and his authority is absolute as
far as protection of the forests from
the ravages Of fire. He Is also chair
man of the Forestry Department at the
University Of Maine and with the pres
ldent OF the university .and the state
superintendent of schools exercises the
functions and has all the authority
that a commission would have as sug-
gested.
Il cannot see where any benefit
would arise from commission. in re-
gard to forest planting other than we
have now.

Rapid Strides,

TN making this. the 18th and my
second biennial report, 1 wish to ex-
press my appreciation to all of those
who have so cheerfully co-operated
with me, not only to the owners of
timberlands but to those who love the
forests Of Maine and value them not
only for their commercial value but
also for the scenic beauty, and means
Of recreation and pleasure.
I'm making my first report recon-
mended some changes in the existing
laws and am pleased to report that
most of my suggestions were enacted
into law. The legislature Of 1918 enact
ed a law authorizing the Governor and
Council to advance to the forest COM
missioner from time to time, when his
funds were exhausted. such amounts
as he deemed sufficient to carry on the
work of the department.
Under this law the Governor and
Council in November, 1915, advanced
the sum Of $4,000 to the forest COM
missioner, but under the ruling Of the
attorney general, was obliged to pay
back to the general fund the sum thus
advanced, so if the law is thus con-
strued and not remedied it would be Of
little benefit as --ope administration

White Pine Blister Rust

within the past year a disease or
blight. called the white pine blister
rust, has been found in different sec
tons of our State, attacking both the
currants and gooseberries, and the
White pine. 1t is a question of the de-
struction Of either the currants or
gooseberries or the white pine. OF
course there is no question in the minds
of cur people as to which is the most
valuable
There is some question as to the
proper authorities to carry on this
work. and / earnestly recommend to
the incoming legislature that laws be
enacted designating officials for the
work and also appropriating sufficient
FUNDS to stamp out this disease.
In closing l wish to ask the aid Of
all the citizens of the State to do ev-
erything in their power to lessen the
damage to our forests by fire. Maine
Is RAPIDLY taking her place as the ban
ner State for recreation and pleasure
ana many thousands annually come tn
our seashore resorts and our inland
lakes, to hunt in our forests and fish
In our waters. Let us all unite under
one ball with this motto in our minds.
Maine Now as Always the Best in tho
Union"

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
reatures OF the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

| New York Dec. 1.-Stocks with hut
few unimportant exceptions resumed
their upward climb today. An aeon
mutation of buying orders mainly for
railway shares which dominated the
list for the first time in weeks was re
ported by commission houses over the
holiday.
over two-score issues of the railway
division were conspicuous for their
unusual activity at gains ranging from
l to over 2 points. Included in this
group were the shares of MANY roads
which recently underwent the rigors of
organization and others about to
emerge from that condition.
Dealings In Missouri, Pacific, Wa
bash, Rock Island, Chicago, Great
Western, Texas & Pacific, Ontario g.
Western, Western Maryland, coalers as
whole and Southern issues were
much larger in the aggregate than the
turnover in so-called investment rails.
Marked strength was shown, by Pa
cifics, Changers. Reading, Norfolk &,
Western and Fries.
| Utilities claimed more than the usual
amount of attention on the advance of
- poAh.'' III oHio SrdS " the new rec
ord of 1884, with for Montana Pow
er and . for Columbia Gas, these al
SO recording new maximums, with
Pittsburgh Coal Common and Pre-
ferred.
| United States Steel recovered II
points of it's regular and extra diyi-
dends of p points with advances of l
to points in related shares. Coppers
scored similar gains, but yielded on
realizing. Munitions and equipments
were more irregular, Industrial Alco-
| hQl and American Car retaining much
of the advantage while Baldwin Lo-
connective and Motors were consistent
ly heavy with shipping issues. Next
cans also fell away in the later deal
ings, the irregularity of that period
being ascribed to a rise in call loans to
81 per cent, the high rate of the
year. Total sales amounted to 1,13O, 900
shares.
| Abandonment of the plan to offer
British and French short term bills in
this market, in Difference to the wish
es of the Federal Reserve Board, was
without effect on quoted values.
| Irregular tendencies in the bond
market were again attributed to the
lower levels reached by international
issues. Total sales, (par value), aggre-
gated $4,425,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

coming administration. I WoulostEoas

Rapid strides have been maze IN
protecting our forests from nre oah-
ger and lessened from year to yeai
the great loss from severe fires. OuS
lookouts have been carefully manneo''
good TELEPHONE communications nave
been established and a system OF efn-
cheney maintained in selecting our
wardens and deputy wardens.
II would earnestly recommend to the
owners Of timberlands and also to the
members of the legislature that all
proper efforts should be used to COM
bine the cooperation between the
State and the general government for
the protection of our forests.
I'm the fall of 1915 it was my good
fortune to visit some of the great for
ested states Of the west and found in
comparing their methods and laws
with those of our own State, that
Maine was true to her motto, "Dirigo,"
lead. Our system of raising funds
was better than in any other state, as
no matter how we'll they prepared, they
were often hampered by the lack, Of
funds in the completion of their work
as they depended on the annual or BIZ
ennial appropriations which might
vary from time to time. While in
Maine our funds are fixed by law and
If by good management or a fortunate
fire season we have a balance, it ac-
cumulates for future use.
TIE damage and risk of fires from
The dc oh, IN oy.S
were such a menace to our forests,
have been minimized, and am pleased
to note that the officials have cooper
ated cheerfully and efficiently. 1 still
think, as in former years, that an ex-
ira tax Of one mill should be assessed
for one year on the timberlands in the
forestry district for an emergency
fund, and / could safely guarantee that
no timberland owners would ever be
called on to pay any money outside of
the forestry tax for fire protection.
THE state nursery at Orono has used
at the present time all funds appro-
priated for their department and I
should recommend a more liberal ap-
preparation by the next legislature to
carry on this great work.
Il would recommend more liberal
salary for the land agent and the crea-
ton Of the office Of deputy land agent
with authority to employ men skilled
in their profession to carry out and put
In operation the reforms such as are
suggested by the proponents of the
proposed new commission.
THE merit system which now pre-
walls In the appointment Of lookout
wardens should be sustained as every
year of experience of a Waterman on
4 lockout station makes him MANY
times more valuable the next year.
