Accountants and Accountants.
(Rutland Herald.)

The comparison between the fee paid
New York accountants who examined
he state books for the board of con.
troll and the fee paid Franklin S. Pratt
of Brattleboro is hardly fair
Mr.. Pratt-an extremely competent
and conscientious accountant, by the
way-was employed to trace out a par
ticular line of evidence, with the material
practically prepared for him. He was al
so entirely familiar with the states
books, having been employed several
times to look up various things-among
other things to procure certain data for
The Herald.
Young & Young, on the other hand,
were employed, not only to trace out the
accounts in which Horace F. Graham was
concerned, but to make a general survey
of the entire system, with a view to in
stalllng new one. This survey took
them weeks where it took Mr.. Pratt
days, III because they We're not familiar
with the books, (2) because they had
more work to do than Mr.. Pratt.
No one who has looked over the survey
OF Young & Young could fail to appreci-
ate the careful, conscientious and val
liable work done by them. On the other
hand, the practical, well-informed and
moderately priced services of Mr.. Pratt
were entirely admirable and adequate.

WHY THE GOVERNMENT

An order urging congress to pass
the pending bill to establish a forest
experiment station in the White Noun
tains, which was introduced this week
in Massachusetts house of representa-
tlves, has brought out some interest.
ing information.
The order sets forth that New Eng
land is dependent upon outside sources
for seventy per. cent of its lumber and
thirty per cent of its pulpwood, in
volvlng freight charges of over $500
600 year, while not over thirty per
cent of its own timber land is produc
ing what it might and at least twenty
per cent or over 100000 acres, are
waste land, producing nothing.
1t is further represented that the
od-using industries of New England
represent invested capital of nearly
3O0,O00,000 producing an output worth
$24O,OOO,OO0 year, and employing
10000 wage earners; also that New
England should become self supporting
in this respect and that the proposed
experiment station would benefit all
New England.
Ii the facts are as above stated why
should forest reproduction be left to
the ,national governments If New Eng.
land has to secure seventy per cent of
its lumber and almost a third of its
wood from outside sources and less
than third of its timberland is produc-
ing to capacity, it would seem good pri-
vate business to engage in the re-
production of timber. A govern
ment forest experiment station
would be maintained and operated
at the expense of the whole
people. 1t would bear all the expen-
siveness of government work and inn
practical experimentation 1t would in
crease government expenses and re-
quire more government revenue, some
thing that should be avoided.
If there is $3OOOOO,O0O capital in
vested in wood working plants in New
England it should undertake to secure
its own supply of raw material. The
item of $2,5oO,OOO freight per year is
small part of the expense of secur-
ing outside lumber and the wood work
ing industries could well afford to ex-
pend this sum per year in reproducing
lumber near home. If the state and
federal forest bureaus have not demon
strated the practicability of forest re-
production they have not performed
their mission. But they have and the
lumber interests should work out their
own salvation and profits without sad
ding another burden on the general
government
