the most beneficial effects from its use
its value has become generally recog-

Wants Single Allegiance.

Senator William S. Kenyon OF loWa'
through an amendment to the Agrlcul-
tural appropriation bill, has succeeded
in suppressing a glazing EVIL that mas
assumed great proportions during the
past four years of Democratic rule. In
the Agricultural Department there are
some 500 people employed at a salary
of from 81 to $25 per year. They receive
additional compensation from private
parties. which gives them a comfort
able income Senator Kenyon has dis
covered that the real reason for their
becoming employees of the government
Is to enable them to send literature
which they may prepare free through
the mails at great expense to the Unit
eG States. 1T is an insidious influence
in our government that ought to be
stopped the senator declares, and in
eists that an employee Of the govern
ment should owe his allegiance to the
government and not be controlled by
an outside party, as is sure to be the
case if his salary is received from pri-
vate individuals.

Russia a Lumber Competitor.

American lumbermen have a prospect
OF keen competition from Russia after
tho close OF the present war. The
Russian Minister Of Communications
returned from a visit to the Thurman
coast comments on the vast areas of
umner IN northern Russia. which
stretch for hundreds of square miles.
The Russian Department of Agricul-
ture plans to afford the widest access
TO the exploitation of the timber re-
sources OF this section. for both lumber
and wood pulp The extensive system
of rivers and streams in that section
affords opportunity to adopt the Cheap
est method of transportating timber
by rafting. and there is projected the
construction Of other more improved
means Of communication which will
tend to develop the timber industry.
A wide latitude will be permitted in
the granting Of concessions, and Rus
sian capital is to be enlisted. It is an
indispensable condition Of the exporta
ton OF Russian timber that it be ex-
ported in manufactured form, the work
10 be done by Russians. At a confer
encc Of timber men over which the
minister presided a plan was drafted
for the early development Of the tim
Der industry and lumber export
The day Is not far distant when Rus
STA will enter the lists as a competitor
in the lumber trade Of the world, and
the daily wage paid a Russian mill
man wouldn't buy an American mill
man plug OF tobacco. The American
lumber manufacturers now have Hindu
and Japanese labor to contend with
operating in the mills Of British Column
bia. Lumber is on the free list and
never in their history have our lumber
men experienced such a depression in
the trade as during the past three or
four years-although recently war con-
ditions have somewhat stimulated It.
