terial standpoint, especially in its for
est depletion phase, the wide applica-
ton of the de-inl1ing of old newspa-
pers has potentially a very important
bearing on the forestry problem in
America today.
In the experiments conducted by
Mr.. Wells it was found that there was
only a loss of from to 10 per cent
in bulk. That is to say, 100 tons of
old newspapers would produce at
least ninety tons of pulp with which
to manufacture new paper. Newspa-
pers save for the few that are pre-
served in files, are all waste after
they are a day or so old, and accord
ing1y if all the 1000 tons of news
print used daily could be made avail
able for remanufacturing purposes, it
is obvious that the inroads which the
paper industry makes on spruce for
ests might be reduced until under re-
forestation work the supply would
easily keep pace with the demand.

FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE.

The Genoa Conference was called
to consider many grave questions OF
International policy with which the
League OF Nations ought to deal but
with which It is disqualified from deal
ing by its inability without undergo
ing radical reconstruction, to admit
Germany and Russia into it's delibera-
tons as equals. The special confer
ence does not on this account promise
TO furnish a better substitute for the
League OF Nations, but il does serve
to supplement It's deficiencies. There

grave questions OF international policy
which can be considered more con-
veniently by conferences such as
those which have assembled at Wash

FARMERS AND LABOR.

The modern farmer has joined hands
with the city worker because he
realizes that they have common In
terests and common enemies. Even the
most obtuse farmer now admits that
debated wages mean Debated prices
for farm products, and that the same
selfish interests which profit from the
other also. With this realization has
come changed attitude towards la
Dor unions. because tho farmer him
self has learned that only by united
effort and collective bargaining can he
secure q fair price for his own product.
In brief, the farmer secs that with
out the labor unions the worker can
not receive fair prices. Indeed, instead
OF berating the unions, the farmer is

BUT ONLY TALKED ABOUT.

1t Is said President Harding is In
favor OF allowing n President to serve
only one term. but OF having that
term extended to six years. Such a
change, however, could not be effected
In time TO allow Mr.. Harding TO bone
fit by 1t to the extent OF having two
moro years In the Office no now holds.
For n longer service than the present
term Of four years no will have TO de-
pend upon tho doubtful chances OF
denomination and reelection.
President Harding is not the adj
vance agent In his suggestion OF n SIX
year term for the Presidency and In
eligibility TO reelection. This propo-
sition was advanced many years ago
but, like other good propositions, has
never progressed beyond tho sugges-
tive stage. Yet it is practical and
promising.
In the first place. many persons
have long been convinced that oui
quadrennial Presidential contest. with
its long and generally exciting cam.
paign, so disturbing TO business, l.
too much OF a good thing" To bnv,
It once in six years would be suf
flcient.
Also, there il force in the sugges
ton that four years is too short ;
term for n President. and eight year
a little too long. A term OF six year,
strikes many AS the happy medium.

FEDERAL ANTI-TIPPING LAW.

Anti-tipping legislation was the
fashion with many States some years
ago. and now we are probably to have
a Federal statute. Tho House has pass
sd a bill ito protect interstate and
foreign commerce against bribery and
other corrupt trade practices" and the
Senate is expected to concur in 1t.
Only an extreme measure Of this
kind Is ever aimed at the practice of
tipping the waiter. the bell boy, the
Pullman porter, or the uniformed rail-
road attendant who gently d.sengages
your suit case from your hand as you
step from the train. Such fees are
sometimes complained OF as more a
hold-up than a gratuity, but at the
worst. nobody Is aggrieved but the vic
tim. But the trade practices" that
the Federal law would correct are
clearly repugnant to the principle OF
fair trade and unembarrassed competi-
ton. When gifts" of money or some
thing else of substantial value are
made by a seller of goods to a person
who does the buying for a concern. OF
when consignee slips something into
the hands of freight-yard boss to gel
his car unlOaded ahead of other con
sigrees. the injury that may be done
Is clearly enough to warrant the en-
actment of a punitive law.
