AMERICAN MONEY
RUYSN()RE TITLES

An American widow of wealth has
followed the nauseating example of
many others and has married foreign
title-this time Greek prince
She is reaping the bitter experience
of others by being royalty snubbed in
Athens while the prince is presumably
enjoying the money with which she
purchased him.
Some day we will have a law for
bidding the incomes from such for
tunes from being taken out of the
country, other than a bare sufficiency
FOR persons comfortable support
When that time comes foreign
2rincelings and noblemen will sudden
ly discover that American heiresses
have ceased to be prizes in the mat
rimonial market.
But in the meantime self respecting
Americans will continue to be humili-
ated by reading of such spectacles as
he one that has recently been enacted
in Athens.
A woman who is not worth marry
ing for love is not worth having at
any price. and no self-respecting man
ever marries woman for her money.
But empty heads and pockets
pooh!

able for farming, which can be trans
formed into forests which,. for all
time to come, will give the state a
large and steady supply of timber
all that it can possibly use and more.
On a great deal of this land young
trees, pine and other needed kinds,
are growing and will continue to
grow. In other areas seedlings will
have to be planted by hand. But the
return will be many fold.
Nor is there anything that need
be done that has not been done sue
cessfully and proftabIy by every civ
ilized country in Europe. In our own
country, moreover, Maine, New York,
Pennsylvania point the way-have
been pointing the way for years. Two
bordering states, Michigan and Min
nesota, have gone ahead so far that
at best it will take Wisconsin years
to overtake them.
We should delay no longer, here in
Wisconsin. We must resolve to re-
store the heritage that nature gave US.
We must replant and renew our for
ests.
The project is one which, as it's

strongly and consistently during more

ply of fish and game; to enhance the
beauty of our native landscape, and
to attract in much larger numbers

PUBLIC RE-
FORES7AT|ON
OFVISCONSIN

(Reprinted from The Milwaukee
Journal Of January 5, 1929
To Men and Women of Wisconsin
From sheer necessity Wisconsin
must sooner or later engage in public
forestry. Why not sooner? Why not
begin at once?
The necessity is urgent. It is be-
coming more acute every year.
About twenty-five years ago Wis
consin was the largest lumber produc-
ing state in he Union. The supply of
pine seemed inexhaustible. Nobody
thought of The morrow, nobody plant
ed trees to replace those chopped for
market, NOBODY protected the smaller
trees that wee left standing or the
treelings bornof self-sown seed. Fires
swept the fo1est areas year after
year, destroying mature timber, de-
stroying seedlings, destroying seeds
seeds themselves and burning the very
humus and nitrogen in the soil.
Now Wiscnsin's pine forests are
no more. Whole areas are as small
deserts becau.e no seed tree remains
within seeding distance. With the
forests, laid lew by ak and fire, have
gone a great deal of wealth and much
IF Wisconsin,! charm and beauty.
The economic loss is stupendous
n
ceased to operate and others have left
the state to be near raw material.
Those that remain are drawing upon
forest products from outside the state.
Finished products, like paper, are be-
ing imported from outside the state,
even from outside of the United
States. What Wisconsin pays out
yearly for the supplies themselves
mounts very high in the millions.
Other millions go~merely to pay the
freight upon imported supplies.
All this might have been avoided.
f forest fires had been minimized,
all of the original forest land, except
those devoted to farming, would to-
day be covered with tall, stately trees
IF second growth, many of them large
enough for market. And so with other
trees, spruce for example.
Nothing worth while was done,
however. Hence crippled industry,
7erce Wisconsin's spending fabulous
sans outside the state, ard hence the
Inability of countless thousands of
men t. baild homes because the price
Of lumber is prohibitive. More, Wis
-onsin's very face, in innumerable
places, is gashed and Scared and
burned black.
There is still time TO create great
forests in Wisconsin. In the state are
several million acres of land, insult

EVEaII()NE.'S GOAT

Why not give the farmer square
deal?
If he is to receive greatly reduced
prices for his crops, then the labor he
employees and the things he buys to
produce those crops should be reduced
IN proportion. So should everything
else that he uses.
At the present time there is mark
ed tendency in this country to 'let
George do the reducing"
Everybody wants prices reduced in
every line but his own, with the result
that manufacturers, wholesalers, dis
tributors and dealers throughout the
business world are straining them
selves in an effort to keep prices up
III order that they may reyel little
longer in the golden waters of excess
sive profits.
Every human being depends upon
the farmer for the food that sustains
life, and every hand it leveled at him
in an effort to beat him down in his
prices.
A great wave of protest against
food prices has swept this country
from one end to the other, and yet this
avalanche of criticism which has en-
quilted the man who feeds US has been
voiced principally by men who have
been reaping even greater profits than
thA farmer.
We are not the champion of the
mar of the soil, any more than we are
Of any other man or woman in this
community, or this country.
We are just as averse to paying ex-
cessiye prices for the food that we
eat as any other person can possibly
be, because we have to dig deeply and
cough up nightly to meet the strain.
But we are an advocate Of the
square deal in business.
That the farmer is not getting.
He is eyerybody's goat.
We do not believe the high prices
IN this community are due TO exces-
sWe profits on the part of our local
dealers. Their regulations for fair
dealing are too we'll known fo- that.
But there are too many hands through
which the goods pass before they
reach this town, and every hand grabs
off its pound of flesh"

sfeateF proportions It Il aiguiia;sd IS
'hiEh finaase
But it i not cofined to the ranks
Of the successful.
The small boy on the street begins
his career by winning the marbles
away from his playmate.
He follows this up a little later by
driving a hard bargain in a trade.
These successes only whet his ap-
petite for greater successes, and from
year to year he plans and schemes to
annex the money of other men.
To al rules there are exceptions,
and there may be a few to this, but
he description is fairly applicable to
the majority OF mankind.
Now don't become peeved, dear read
er, and charge US with preaching, for
we are ali IN the same sinful old boat
-gether, and if. anybody has to jump
overb ard to save the craft from sink
ing we are unanimously in favor Of
letting George do it"
Away back in the dim past some of
Us have read the Golden Rule-but we
couldn't repeat it now, and most of US
have even forgotten what it says.
Tie preacher tells Us some whole
sore troths in his sermon, but the
Sunday dinner tastes so good when we
get hcme from church it simply ban
ishes the ministerial teachings from
2ur minds-if they have endured that
long.
And why?
Ask some wise. man-we don't
know.
It's simply in our blood, as it is in
yours, and we are not responsible for
The blood that flows in our veins.
Yes, we admit that the Lord gave
is power Of will in order that we
might resist these evil tendencies, but
generally they only appear evil to US
when we see them in the other fell
low.
But perhaps we've said enough
even a mouthful.
We've just been doing a little think
ing as editors sometimes do, and our
thoughts rambled off into this queer
groove, as we pass them along to you,
IS you pay us to do.
