NEEDS OF HTGHSPIRE

To the Editor Of the Telegraph:
Why can't the people of Highspire
have what they need? Men should
be at the head of the borough bust
ness affairs who are in favor of
these promotions and the 'betterm ent
of the little borough of Highspire.
EIighspire needs better fire protec-
ton. If Highspire had protection
the Lutheran church congregation
would not be homeless and there
would be four more houses which
went down to the wall, all on ac-
count of the poor system we have.
l must say our borough has a fine
looking fire engine and n good COM
pany to fight fire but all is in vain
on account of no water supply.
Highspire could have better street
lighting service and cheaper il they
would own their own plant, which
could happen if it were not for the
hold-backs who say mo" when they
could say "yes." Highspire could
have better streets if "yes'' would
have been used instead of mo"
Highspire could and would have
double street car tracks from Motter
street to Whitehouse lane but "yes"
was forgotten again. Highspire peo-
pie would need not walk for one
and two squares to please the Trac-
ton company if council said mo"
skip stops in Highspire. Highspire
people are paying more taxes than
the City of Harrisburg and have
nothing. 'Highspire has enough busi-
ness men to form a Board or Trade
to get industries for some of our
unemployed in town. All these
things could be accomplished IL that
"Yes't WAS IIsad and actad i1non TT
the people of Highspire would sow
for these things. in due season they
would reap.

GIVE THE WEST A SHARE

IF PENNSYLVANIA is ever going
to establish a system of State
Il forests that will help PROVIDE
revenue for education and other
purposes when natural. resources
commence to diminish and TO ac-
ouire the tracts which will be val
liable for power when coal is no
longer regnant in industry this is
the time to start. But, as we said
before, the people of this State do
not want any conservation system
to be hitched TO any indiViduals
chariot or exploited to redeem
Pennsylvania in the eyes of a whole
lot of people in distant states VINO
do not understand either the Key
stone State, it's cosmopolitan popu-
lation or its diversified business ana
industry. We want to get a forestry
system that will not cost too much.
that will not break us to maintain
and which will be worth while when
we want it. But we do not want any
one to climb our forest trees to get
into political power. The forest re-
serves in this State are a good bust
ness proposition and they are going
10 be very valuable after While, If
politics is kept out.
The State system contains over a
million acres and it is handled as
we'll as can be expected for the
money given. for it. Owing to the
prices and the fact that in Eastern
Pennsylvania people do not consider
coal and oil and gas rights so much.
the greater part of the forests are
east of the mountains. The western
section of the State, which produces
so much wealth, has only two State
forests. Great sections which should
be safeguarded from floods have .vir-
tually no forest protection. There is
land which can grow trees if some
one will take the trouble. Some of it
was used for grazing before long
horns from Texas came in. Now it is
proposed to buy a quarter million
acres on the Ohio watershed. Prob
ably the price will go up at once, but
the State Should make a program
and give Western Pennsylvania a
share of the forestry reservations.
1t will arouse people in that great
community to importance of the
forests and facilitate the crystalliza-
tion of Pennsylvania sentiment in
favor of conservation as a business
and not a political proposition.

DEEP SECRETS

EkO OVERNMENT by mystery"
r may become an appropriate
expression. representative
PadgNtt, chairman of the House
NavaNCommittee, received a cable
gram from the President and per-
mitted the understanding to become
general that the President had said
that failure to enact the big navel
building program would be fatal to
my negotiations"
Then, when asked directly on the
floor of the House whether the
cablegram did in fact contain these
words, Padgett refused to answer.
: Between the Presidents assur-
ance to Congress that you will
know all that I know" and the re-
fusaI of Padgett to disclose the
contents of the cablegram, the sit
uation seemed likely to reach the
stage where someone could appro-
priately pass the short and ugly
word.
At any rate. Congress is expected
to legislate upon the basis of mys-
terious rumors.

ment. After all the arguments for
and against the Clark act have been
made the fact remains that, whereas
Harrisburg had a good and econom-
ical government under the former
party system, it has had a poor and
extravagant government since the
Clark act went into effect A review
of the accomplishments for city bet
termeht before and since and a
glance at the books of the City
Treasurer will prove that.
