MICHIGAN PAYS THE PIPER

Washington, D. c., July 15.-Michl-
gan's wood-using industries are now
paying the economic piper for the
states quarter century timber debauch,
according to a statement just issued by
the forest service of the United States
department of agriculture, whose ex-
perts are engaged in study to deter
mine the effects of forest devastation
on population, agriculture, industry and
economic life in that state.
The forests of Michigan, the state
ment continues, as result of devast-
ating fires and reckless cutting are
now so greatly depleted that they pro-
duce chiefly fuel-wood and other minor
forest products instead of h-grade
lumber on which the states main in
dustries depend. The building trades
and the automobile and furniture in
dustries of Michigan must largely i'm
port their supply Of high-grade lumber
from other states instead of growing
it at home.
For the most costly classes of woods,
such as those used for automobiles, fur
niture, and building, Michigan goes as
far south as the gulf and as far west
as the Pacific; she imports all told
little more than a billion board feet
Of lumber and timber annually, Of which
400 million come from the gulf coast
region and nearly $50 million feet
from the Pacific northwest. For these
amounts the state pays not only an
enormous freight bill, but also the
high prices incident to constantly
dwindling forests.
The reforestation of Michigan 8 de-
nuded lands would after a few decades,
say forest experts, not merely stop
these costly importations but go far
toward re-establishing the states lost
leadership in her once greatest indus
acknowledgement put it upon a
permanent basis.

aid roads during April and are aver
aged for the whole Of the United
States. Some of the figures cover a
large volume of work well distributed
over the country, while others are
based on small volumes or scattering
reports.
The figures which cover the cost in
place are as follows: Earth excava-
tion, common, SO cents a cubic yard;
rock excavation, $126 cubic yard;
gravel, $1.44 cubic yard; sand-clay,
40 cents a cubic yard; crushed stone,

THE BUILDER

(Wrtten by Mrs Lucy E. DeWitt)
Tho the world doesn't know his name
Twill never be craven in metal stone,
Nor perhaps, in the Hall Of Fame;
For he walks the lowy paths Of life
And he boasts great store of knowledge.
He hasn It the skill to build bridge
Nor the wealth to endow college,
But he IS building wonderful structure,
This commonplace friend of mine,
And he's building for all eternity
A character strong and fine.
Its foundation was laid countless ages ago.
Or before time began,
When the creative mind of Infinite Love
First expressed its own image Of man.
OF Orders and rafters and beams he builds
With joyous and confident labor;
Squaring and plumbing with Truth, nor forgetting
His debt of love to his neighbor.
His timbers seasoned with honesty
To resist all moods of weather;
And the rivets the kindly deeds
That hold the structure together.
No costly marble shaft shall mark
The place where he has wrought;
Nor wealth of worldly chattels
To provoke envious thought;
But when his earth work is ended
And his mortal days spent,
The memory of good, pure life
Shall be his monument.

Beveridge Progressive? % La La!

WHO was it that thought Albert Beveridge, a Progressive? In
w his speech at Columbus, Ohio, made at President Hard
ings request, - he said Harding's administration has made
progress "unequaled and unapprOached during the same time by
that of any other existing government" That's all we need to
know about Beveridges Progressivism. But
He thinks the railway breakdown will cure itself when Amer
lean transportation is "freed from the iron hand of artificial and
arbitrary governmental direction and placed under the control of
economic law" In other words Beveridge favors giving the rail
ways the privilege of taking all the traffic will bear.
This is progress backward to the status of 1870. For rail
ways being natural monopoIes with whom and between whom
there is no such thing as real competition, are above the operation
of any economic law except that which controls the housewife
when she skins the milk-she takes all that rises.
cumulative sales tax, collected each day in the ordinary course of
trade, and paid to the government each month This means tax
ing the poor to pay the debts of the rich-Smoot all along the line.
And Smoot is a real Progressive-with reverse English!
Mr.. Beveridge says the conflict between the old parties is over
economic theories, that the Democrats are allied with the Socialists
and extreme radicals Of course a man of his intelligence knows
this is false, and his stating it gives him away as a sort of capitals
tic demagogue. Would tina. it were true! We should then have
campaigns that would mean something. We should get rid of
such tom-tom beating as Mr.. Beveridge gives up, and have real
issues. But, alas, his statement is false; the Democrats and Repub-
lcans are playing the same old game with scarcely a p~erceptible
difference beyond the spelling of the names of the parties. No one
would accuse Samuel Raston of ever thinking a thought bordering
on radicaiSm, and the men who come nearest to be extreme"
radicals just now happen to be in the Republican party. But they
are far. far from Beveridge, even though all of them are called Re-
pubicans. And they may as well bid Albert J. a long good-by right
now.

american Near East Action Must

of their conduct. but because of their
religion and race. And they will
ask why we close our eyes to SINH
lar wrongs perpetrated by fellow
Christians.
Both Sides to Blame
The fact is that great wrongs have
been committed by both sides. One of
Mustapha Kemal's cabinet members
recognized this when he recently said
it would be a good thing to move all
Greeks and Armenians out Of Turkish
territory and all Turkish citizens out
Of European territory. In other
words, he would exchange one pop,
ulation for the other so that in each
territory would be all one people in,
stead Of conflicting races.
Il believe this should be done. And
nobody could more perfectly super
intend such a transfer than the Amer.
lean Relief Association. This or.
g~anization has everybody's confidence.
The Turks know the Americans have
no territorial or political ambitions In
that quarter of the world and they
would absolutely trust the Americans
if religion were subordinated.

Where the Picking's Best
600 West, Young Mar" is still good advice.
VI If Won don't want to 90 west then 90 ,,

500 West, Young Man, is still good advice.
~ If you don't want to go west, then go way down east,
to New York or Massachusetts, but it's best to go west.
Here are some facts and figures to prove it. They were COM
piled by the National Bureau of Economic Research. They are
based upon field tabulations of the official census and income tax
reports.
The average per capita income for the whole United States is
1929 That is what you should earn FOR EACH MEMBER OF
YOUR FAMILY, to be as good a provider as the average.
Out on the Pacific Coast, however, the average is higher. You
can call yourself an average wage-earner out there only if you
make 1896 for each member of the family.
In the upper Mississippi Valley States, for the most part, the
average Is about that of the United States as a whole, about $500.
The Middle Atlantic States offer good wage-earning oppor-
tunIt1eS, with a per capita average of 1888, while New York State
alone, which leads the country, has a per capita average of 1914.
However, that figure is due more to the number of extremely high
salaries IN New York rather than to the average of the wage
earning class.
The per capita earning in the South Central States is 1863.
and IN the East South Central States, along the Gulf of Mexico If
is down to 1864. This is due, in large measure, to the fact that
these are farming communities with a big percentage of unskilled
blacks.
The Pacific Coast offers a contrast. There, under different
conditions, farmers average $1,000 per year. In the North Cen
tral States they average around $4,000, while southern farmers
make but $3.50 on the average, and in New England it is still
lower, or SLIGO.

Such a rail system would permit

ton Of his plant. Ford gave notice
that he would suspend all operations.
He closed part Of his plants for a
time, but later resumed operations.
What acquisition Of lines to Kan
sas City and Omaha might mean is
a matter of conjecture entirely. There
may be some truth to one theory that
Ford may be planning for further
competition from low-priced automo-
biles. and as a mean Of reducing this
cost, plans to ship IS far as possible
and as asst as possible on his own
lines before Il becomes necessary to
use other roads TO more distant dis
tribution centers. Similarly, the line
to Buffalo. 1t is contende6. would put
Ford cars nearer New York in Ford's
cars, while the line TO Norfolk would
furnish an afford owned outlet for
automobiles in export.
