Survey of business conditions in
New England, made at this pref Christ
mas season, indicates considerable
Increase in the volume of business in
solae of the lines of activity. Partic-
ularly is this acceleration of business
noticeable in the textile products, and
in this branch Vermont is experiencing
the impetus as well as the greater
manufacturing states Of the geographi-
cal division. The general tone is such
as to raise the hope and expectation
of far more general resumption of
industries by the spring Of 1922.

II is stated with some degree of au-
thority that five million small trees
are cut annually in Vermont for dec
orative purposes. In other words, we
are sacrificing great trees of some
years hence just for the sake of get
ting few cents ready money. The
protest against this sacrifice is often
times scoffcd at and ridiculed; but
the fact remains that if steps are not
taken toward replacing this annual
slaughter by artificial planting, or il

thousands upon thousands Of the
youngsters OF the human race; in pro-
cess of time the population Of the
country would be deeimated in the
latter case, and, similarly, the forest
population would be reduced to a
mere skeleton of its former size. The
hue and cry against the wiping put
of five million trees each season is not
by any means the protest of the mere
alarmist.

COMMISSION FIXES
 RATES ON LUMBER

Basd on a showing made by the Apache Lumber company, the corpora ton commission yesterday ordered the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Arizona Eastern, the Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroads to publish and make effective on lumber and articles taking lumber rates and on timber from Hoibrook to points in the southern part of the state, rates not in excess of ? cents per 100 pounds higher than rates concurrently in effect to the same points from C1uffs. Flagstaff and Williams. ob- serving the same classification, mA1i- mum weight and other rules and regu- lations carried in the said tariff The order becomes effective January IS.
 The Arizona Eastern and Southern Pacific refused to join the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in establishing through joint rates on lumber from HolbroolS. which made 1t impossible for the Apache Lumber company to com pete with the lumber markets of Will Hams. Flagstaff and Cluffs.
 The railroads objected to the pub lieation of rates sought, on the grounds that the rate now in effect from Will Hams and Flagstaff was too low and that the lines did not feel justified in giving concurrence to rates on lum- Der from other shipping points. The commission in making it's order stated that the revenue of the objecting car riers would not be affected in any de- gree by the publication of through joint rates from Holbrook.
 The chief objection of the operating lines being one against the general ad- justment of rates from the Flagstaff district is a matter not involved in this l proceeding. It is self evident that a denial of through rates from HolbroolI subjects the Apache company to undue and unjust prejudice, which is con demned. both by law and by good busi- ness practice. We arc of the opinion that the record in this case fully jus ! tifies a removal of the discrimination now existing reads the order.
