SAVE GIANT FORESTS

tuew with funds, which have enabled the United States government to save
a forest Of big trees from destruction. The tract known IS the Giant
Forest is in the heart OF the Sequoia National Park in California. 1t is a
tableland, fairly circular in shape, about W miles in diameter, and lies
in the west central section of the park. 1t contains the finest specimens
of big trees n the word-the Scquoa Washingtonana.
In fact, the largest Tree in the world, the General Sherman, having a
circumference at its base of 1902 feet a diameter of 365 feet, and a height
OF 2799 feet, stands here. Numerous other rec OF slightly smaller
growth are found in groups in this forest, but on lands patented by ci-
zens of California many years before the creation of the park. While the
park was created for the purpose of protecting these very trees standing
on these holdings, they have up to the present time not been protected at
all but were subject to destruction at the will of their owners.
During the last session of congress the department of the interior OBJ
tanned an appropriation of $4,000 Tor the purchase OF these private hold
ings, but when negotiations were begun the owners refused to part with
the lands except o condition that adjacent holdings be purchased at the
same time. The additional tracts brought the price up to $4,000.
The interior department., realizing that there wa small hope of an
additional appropriation from congress before the expiration of ar option
which it had, conferred with the board of managers of the National Geo
graphic society, which has always been active in movements for the per-
petuaton Of Americas parks. The necessary $4,000 has been approprr
atd by the society.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

The casts loss of power is explained az largely due to the fact that
women vote in the vest To the extent to which this explanation is AZ
cepted by the east itself, it will be found helpful in promoting the growth
of woman suffrage.
Those old hard-headed pivotal states where they make politics a bust
les are very slow about accepting e ideas, but they lose little time M
adopting them when their utility in magnfying political domination has
nee been demonstrated.
The women in all those eastern states would be voting by 1920 if the
party leaders became convinced that the westward course OF. the star of
political empire could be arrested and detected back toward the east BY
granting equal suffrage. Merely o have al eve chance with the west
Ia compel them to grant it-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

REGARDING MIDDLE NAMES

The following letter, addressed by a South Carolina correspondent
to OF the New York papers, may be of interest to those who fear that
through a mixup in initials n OF the electoral votes intended for VIII
O might not count:
an your paper of Friday last a dispatch from Concord, N. H., dated
November 23d, stated that there was a possibility of President Wilson
losing an electoral vote from that state on account of the fact that the
name of n of the Democratic electors, Lawrence M. Conor, appeared on
the ballots Is Lawrence A. Conor.
There is no ground for this fear, as the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States has repeatedly held that initials are no part of a name. In the
cae of Games rs. Stiles ct al, IA Peters, 322; 10 L. Ed, 40, the rule vas
laid down that, THE law knows but one Christian name, and the omission
or insertion IF the middle name or of the initial letter OF the middle name
is immaterial. 1t is competent for a party to show that he is known as
well without as with the middle name To the san effect re the

used to whip votes into line against
the school teachers of Chicago, was
dragged into the light yesterday by
members of the city council COM
mittee on schools.
The religious issue was brought
out when Aid. Robert M. Buck was
questioning Mrs. VIM. E. Gallagher,
school trustee. Mrs. Gallagher adj
mitted that there was a strong under
current Of religious prejudice among
members Of the school board and
that there was a division on the
board in regard to religious beliefs.
Aid. Oscar De Priest, rcoIored ad-
ministratiOn leader, jumped to his
feet and introduced a motion that all
questions pertaining to the religious
angle be barred. Buck insisted that
the investigation be thrown wide
open.
In explaining his desire for an open
and above-bOard probe of the entire
question of religious influence, Buck
said:
Zone of the sticks of dynamite
under our political structure is reli-
gious prejudice. And the most dan
gerous thing about it is that it is al
lowed to grow into a flame under the
surface. It is permeating the whole
body polite in this city to the detTi-

lem of Catholics fighting Protestants

government.

belong in our schools, but it is there.
Now let's see if we can't kick it out
Of the school system forever. Some

q believe this investigation will
show that the majority of the teach
eTs dropped were Protestant and not
Catholics. But some one, for some
hidden reason, is making political
capital out of this religious prejudice.
What's behind all this? Let's go
to the bottom Of this rotten mixture
of politics and religion that's been
going on in this town for a year or
more"
. De Priest, Powers, Miller and Mar
tin made another effort to block an
investigation. Buck asked Mrs. Gal
lagher and Chas. c. French, anoth-
er trustee, if they had any objection
to stating their religious beliefs.
They stated they were Roman Cath
olics.
In another heated speech Buck
said: Il don't believe these teachers
we're fired merely because they were
Catholics. There were more Pro-
testants than Catholics dropped.
But II the impression is being spread
about that these teachers were dis
eliminated against because they were
Catholics it is the duty of this body
to let the people know it's a lie. I'm
a Protestant My little girl goes to
a school in a Protestant community
in Austin, where there is a Protestant
principal and only one Catholic
teacher.
This Catholic teacher has a repu-
tatiOn for being an excellent teacher.
And my little girl-mind you, she is
only 8 years old-came home and
told her mother the principal was
going to get this teacher fired be-
cause she was a Catholic. And this
teacher was in the list of those drop
ped. Now, I don't believe this teach
eT was fired because she is a Cath
ole. But can't you realize the dan

KILLED MINE TAX INCREASE.

At the election of November I, a
proposed amendment to the Utah con
stitlltion, affecting the taxation OF
mines. was wholesomely defeated.
The principal effect OF the proposed
change was to provide that the valu-
alton Of mines should be rated at
three times their net proceeds, al
though the language of the proposed
amendment was not as precise as
carefully drawn sections OF this
kind should be- The principal argu-
ment for the defeat of this amend
ment, from the point of view OF an
onlooker. was that the suggestion
was an attempt to place unequal bur-
dens upon the mining industry 1t is
of small importance how taxable
property is valued, so long as the rel
ative burden of taxation upon diff
ferent classes of property is entirely
Western states which have enjoyed
considerable agricultural develop
ment, the farmers are apt to lig'h-
ten their own burdens at the expense
OF mining. The evil to be avoided
is the imposition of such excessive
taxes as to discourage the opening
Of mines. since it should be apparent
to any observer that the Western
states have been made possible by
the development of mineral deposits.
The risks of mining are sufficiently
great at all times, while the pro-
ducts of mines contribute more large
ly per capita OF men engaged therel
to the benefit and the support of the
community than any other industry.
The distribution of mining wealth In
wages is in itself sufficiently strik-
ing to show how much the mines
actually contribute indirectly to the
support of the state. When the pro
Iponents OF revenue laws are able to
show a fair appreciation OF the sig
nificance of prosperous mining
industry in any of the Western states
they may then be entrusted to i'm
