A National Theater Again.

When AUGUSTUS THOMAS as ex-
ecutive chairman OF the Producing
Managers Association announced tho
organization of committee to found
a national theater the case Of the
Equity Players Immediately came to
mind.
The society of which Mr.. THOMAS
is the head is composed Of the man
ayers. The Actors Equity Assocfa-
tion, as its name shows, is the union
of players which stands opposed to
the managers. The Equity Players
have given two new dramas this
season at the Forty-eighth Street
Theater, which they occupy under
lease for year. It was perhaps in
evitable that the managers should
want to show what they can do.
Their plan, as 1t was made public,
seems vague. Unlike most national
theater projects, this one does not
look to the erection OF a sumptuous
building similar to the New Theater,
now called the Century, which was
the scene Of the last previous effort
to establish a more or less national
theater Beyond the expression Of a
desire to organize two companies,
ono to play Shakespeare and the
other to be devoted to the contem-
poraneous drama, there is nothing
more definite about the new organi-
zation than about the purposes of
the Drama League or other asso-
Citations intended to uplift the long
suffering theater.
Yet its purposes are of course ad-
mirable. Anything tending to better
the drama or any other art is praise
worthy In q high degree. 1t is also
fair that the managers should have
the opportunity to show what they
can do in this direction. The actors
have not distinguished themselves.
With the services Of many well
known players at their disposal
there has so far been neither bril-
liant artistic success nor commercial
prosperity to crown their labors in
Forty-eighth street.
They have indeed emphasized
again the fact that the manager
even II he Is just,as commercial as
his critics paint him and Just as
strabismic when he looks toward the
stage or the box oflce--seems never
theless to be necessity in any
properly conducted amusement en-
terprise. 1t is only fair therefore
that the Producing Managers Asso-
citation should have its opportunity
now that the Equity Players have
given the public an exhibition OF
their ability to conduct q theater.

Maine Again Points the Way.

Impressive statistics arranged by
L. r. GrosE present in compact form
the outstanding facts about our van
ishing forests.
In round numbers we have for
est capital OF approximately $50 bill
lion cubic feet Of standing timber.
To this capital wo are adding at the
rate OF about six billion cubic feet
annually.
Against this account we are draw
ing at the rate OF twenty-six billion
cubic feet every year. Our capital,
In other words. Is shrinking at the
rate OF twenty billion cubic feet an
nually. At this rate our standing
timber will be exhausted In less than
thirty-eisht years.
Steadily and with constantly ac-
celebrating speed the timber line has
been falling back across the conti-
pent. First New Englands timber
and then the virgin forests OF New
York. Pennsylvania. Ohio, and SO on
westward, went down. At date not
remote lumber was one OF Pennsyl-
vania's greatest exports. To-day IL
is one OF her heaviest imports.
Only . few years ago Michigan's
timber supply seemed inexhaustible.
Michigan lumber went far and wide
over the country. II brought heavy
money return into the State. Michi-
gan now pays n s6,oo0,0oo freight bill

Schoharie's Flop.
Tammany's Treatment Of SuIzer One
Of the Causes Ascribed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: have
a summer residence In Schoharie county
and have spent the last ten summers
there. so know something about It
and the people in It.
Schoharie was for years the one rock
ribbed Democratic county IN the State
OF New York. and even went for Bryan
In 1895, and It was the only county N
the State he carried. Many old limo
Democrats In Schoharie tell me they arc

Tammany's treatment OF Governor
Sulzer.
sulser, running on an Independent
ticket In 1914. came within q couple Of
hundred votes OF carrying the county
against whitman, and many say he did
carry it, with Glynna very poor third.

schoharie has left the Democratic fold.

Chairman LANGLEY OF the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds declares he is going to make
a supreme effort to jam through a
pork barrel raid on the Treasury to
the tune of somewhere between a
hundred million and half billion of
dollars. He is bent ON jamming 1t
through, although the responsible
leadership Of the Senate and the
House tries to block the way. He is
bent on jamming it through. il the
Presidents veto should await 1t.
But II Chairman LANGLEY could
put his pork barrel raid through Con-
gress and il he could get it repassed
over the veto of President HARDING,
who will stand for no public squan-
der aud who insists on Government
economy all along the line-if Chair
man LANGLEY could have summer
picnic in passing his pork barrel bill
through Congress, where does he
think he could get the money to pay
the fiddler?
The national Treasury is now
wrestling with an annual deficit which
may run as high as three-quarters OF
a billion Of dollars. 1t faces the re-
demptiou or refunding Of early ma
turing bonds and other obligations
amounting to billions Of dollars. And
it sees the prospect in the next fiscal
year OF another stupendous dencit.
Congress cannot check out OF the
Treasury money that is not in the
Treasury to check out. Congress
cannot put the money into the Treas
ury without more taxation. Con-
gress cannot impose more taxes on
the country without hitting the
pocket OF the American public. And
the Congress that would venture to
hit the American pocket harder than
it is hit now with insuferable taxes
does not sit in the Capitol to-day and
will not in the near future unless 1t
is bereft Of all its senses.
A pork barrel that went through
Congress on creased skids but came
out with a yawning emptiness OF dol
lars to mock the pork barrel grab
bers would not get anybody any
where. Chairman LANGLEY will have
time to think it all over before he
makes his final arrangements to roll
mis- pork barrel over the leaders of
Congress and the President of the
United States.

Surveying by Airplane.

A complete survey. the first ever
made, Of the delta of the Mississippi
River has been added to the long list
of the airplane's achievements In the
Geld OF constructive public service.
This vast alluvial area extending
snto the Gulf Of Mexico has hereto
fore been largely beyond the re-
sources Of surveying skill and equip
ment. Treacherous marshes mac
csssible either on foot or by boat
make the establishment Of lines and
boundaries dificult II not impossible.
The semi-liquid silt rises from few
inches to as much as ten feet above
the water level. Tall vegetation
blocks the vision. Lofty signals
and especially constructed observa-
tion platforms and tripods have been
brought into service by the survey
ors, but at best only inadequate and
far from reliable maps could be
made.
The airplane had previously dem
onstrated its usefulness in the survey
OF regions Inaccessible by other means
and Il was tried on the Mississippi
delta. The amphibious sesplaue type
furnished TO the Coast and Ceodetic
Survey by the Navy Department was
used with excellent results. More
than q thousand photographs were
taken from aloft. Assembled they
form a picture OF the entire terri
tory OF the delta.
They reveal many heretofore
totally unknown lakes and ponds.
They disclose material changes In
clsannels and the development OF sew
oral new sub-deltas since the last
survey was made. A very important
change near the South Pass, the
main .rateway TO the river, was
noted. Former surveys showed the
vest bank OF the pass as marshy
area extending four miles into the
Gulf. The sirplaue Photographic
maps reveal il as a narrow bank. 80

time break through. radically chang
