Letters to the Editor
The covernment and Appropriations

TO the Editor OF the Evening Public Ledger:
sir---The government should look well into
every effort that will still further draw
heavily upon the public's treasury. and
curtail appropriations of every character
that are not to be used for absolute necessi-
eovernment that has been responsible for
much financial distress among many busi-
ness firms for they have been asked TO
pay such high taxes that they have been
compelled to withdraw so much Of their
money from the banks that now that busi-
ness has slackened up they find themselves
unable to meet their obligations. and next
spring, when the taxes are again TO be
paid. the government Will md that Its In
come has been very much curtailed. and
that II can no longer make extravagant ap-
propriations and depend upon calling on the
business OF the country to pay the bill.
The Democratic administration has been
most expensive one, 1t was naturally
necessary during the war TO lay out money
iavlshly to accomplish the desired end. but
as soon as the war was over there was no
Inclination on the part of the party In
power to In any way retrench but instead
they have been spending even more lavishly
until now they have the country in such
y condition that It is going to take some
difficult fnanccring to see II through.
The best thing that could be done under
the existing circumstances 10 to go very
slowly in appropriations or in the contract
ing for a great expenditure OF money. for
the people need relief from heavy taxation
and In order TO weather the strain the gov
ernment will have % let up on them and
give them financial assistance instead OF TAX
ing away from them the money necessary
70 meet the increased expenses.
The best thing we can all do for ourselves
ana for our government Is to practice the
greatest amount Of economy until conditions
win have again rishted themselves and we
can get TO a normal basis wherein we can
figure more accurately and successfully just
what the future may have in store for us.
This Is going to be the most trying winter
that business has had In many years, and
the government will have to do its part II
we desire to avoid one OF the greatest panics
In our history. l.. w. X.

Tho sa,sam Fir of Little Use

TO the Editor Of the EVENING Public Ledger:
Sir-Recently saw a report In your
paper OF an effort being made this year
to conserve the cutting Of the balsam hr
trees to be used as Christmas trees to
help out the lumber and paper situation.
one gentleman a. the meeting recommended
the abolition of the Christmas tree In the
interest Of forest conservation.
I dislike to disagree with any one who
takes as his text forest conservation. bu;
as one who has given many years to the
subject OF forest conditions In northeast
ern America. who has spent many seasons
In the woods OF eastern Maine and Canada
the land OF the Christmas .ree-who has
made a scientific study OF the balsam mr.
as the Christmas tree Is widely known IN
its native wilds, In its relation to forest
growth. and as one wthal who In in no
way associated with the commercial ex-
ploitation OF forest products OF any de-
scription I cannot but wonder whether
the men attending this conference knew what
they were talking about.
Do they know that In many parts Of
eastern Canada the balsam nr grows like
weed In old. abandoned pastures. much
as red cedar and Juniper do with US? DO
they appreciate that foreign-grown specimens
are OF little value for decorative purposes.
and that rather than depicting the forests,
the harvesting OF the Christmas tree crop
helps the farmer to keep his pasture open?
As lumber, there is little or no market
for :he balsam fir. As pupwood. IT is de-
cidedly Inferior: that in the form OF mine
props II brings only about ten cents a prop;
that as a Christmas tree It probably repre-
sents higher source of revenue to the
producer than in any other form Many
Of the farmers in .he north wood region
purposely allow their pastures to grow up
to balsam fir In order that they may bent Mt
by the demand for Christmas trees.
I am as deeply concerned as any one
in the preservation of our forests. but the
use OF the balsam fir for Christmas trees
has little bearing on the problem.
