Harold B. Dobbs, prohibition agent,
In catch-as-catch-c tussle with two

thrown down the steps of the Twenty

tion yesterday marring and severely
injured The tenders of his left leg

The prisoners are Helen Small, alias
Mary Jones, of Is Spencer Avenue, the
Bronx, and Mrs. Eugene O'Rcurke,
alias Helen Eltinge, address unknown.
Helen Small says she was employed
up to two years ago as clerk IL the
income tax Offices under Collector Will
liam Edwards. Mrs. O'Rourke gave as
references the names of surrogate
judge and newspaper man.
Permits CrudeIy Forged
The specific charge against the
women is conspiracy to traffic in coun-
terfeit and forgel liquor withdrawal
permits. Permits seized were passable
counterfeits, printed outside the gov
ernment printing office, to which the
signatures of Harold L. Hart and E. C.
Yellowley had been crudely forged.
This is the first instance of counter
felt permits having been discovered.
All previous alleged conspiracy cases
have resulted from regular permits
stolen from headquarters and then
forged with the needed signatures.
Acting Prohibition Director e. C.
Yellowley and his special assistant,
/ Green Miller, are Of the belief that
large numbers of the counterfeit per
nits have been printed at concealed
plant in. New York, and steps have
been taken to stop food Of the coun-
terfeits being loosed on New York and
other cities. Already the counterfeits
are turning up almost daily at head
quarters.
Acting under information received
from two men found in possession of
alleged counterfeit permits, a govern
ment agent posing as the owner of an
out-of-town saloon is said to have met
the two women ard negotiated for the
purchase Of counterfeit permits Ghe

gong SO far as to agree to try to re-

The wood-using industry, measured
by the numbers employed, is the larg-
est manufacturing industry in the
United States. One million wage
earners are employed and the products
are valued at over $4,000, ,000, 900 an
nually. The sawmills alone, $4,000 in
number, employ 100000 men, and re-
present an investment OF over s1.000,-
00,OOO.
The wood-using industries of course
are dependent upon our forests. When
the raw material shall become exhaust
ed our wood-using industries will close
up. Hundreds are dismantling their
plants in the East. The country will
experience a great economic shock
when we cease manufacturing wood
products. Shock is not the word;
creeping paralysis is better, because
the forests will become gradually ex-
hausted. But the recovery will be
sure. if long and painful. according

will be grown and slowly our wood in
dustries will again come into being.
A most regretable feature of the
whole situation is that we as ma
tion will not take drastic measures to
place our forests now, Immediately,
under proper protection and correct
treatment. All this will come eventu-
ally, but not now. We must suffer
before we will act. We must expert
ence the discomforts and the pecuni-
ary losses due to local and to general
timber famine before we will direct
much attention to our forests. And
much of the trouble could be avoided
or at least mitigated if we as a nation
and as a state could only take warn
ing and get busy now.
There are important forestry bills,

Taxation.
The market value of nearly all farm
land and livestock has dropped below
the 1915 level If sold for cash. So that
the 1920 valuations are not materially
reduced, nearly all the farmers prop
erty will be taxed for more than it
would bring if sold. This matter should
be looked into At once if action has
not already been taken. The farmer
is not looking for special favors in
taxation, but is entitled to a lower
valuation if other industries are ac-
corded the same privilege.
