Forest Commissioner, outlined his
ideas of rational and effective for

After speaking of the value of the

timber supply, as a protecting cover
for the watersheds of our rivers and
streams as the home Of our wild life
and as the playground Of the nation,
Mr.. Niles said:
"These forests are being depleted Of
useful woods at an alarming rate.
The annual cut is far in excess of the
yearly growth, and this will result.

SEC. WALLACE GIVES
VIEWS ON r. r. DEFICITS

Philadelphia, Jan. 9-To bring
about normal adjustment in agri-
culture through it in industry rail-
road deficits must be met by re-
auctions in operating costs rather
than by advances in rates. Secretary
Wallace of the department of agri-
culture declared in an address to-
night before the traffic club of Phil
adelphia. Agricultural, he said, ''ur-
gently needs the adjustment of
freight rates on farm products to a
point at which they bear about the
same ratio to the price the farmer
received for those products as pre-
vailed before the war"
1t would be better for all in this
the secretary said, if during the, re-
construction period, a general price
level about 60 per cent. above the
pre-war normal could be established
and farm prices brought up to this
level rather than other prices be
forced down to the level of agricul-
ture products. But this seems i'm
possible lat present, he said, so
"other prices must come down as
agricultural prices come up until the
normal relation is restored

meter limit Of cutting has been sug-
gested. federal and State control of
cutting has been advocated and other
measures possessing more or less
merit have been mentioned.
ITO my mind it is problem 30
great as to claim the attention of
every citizen of Maine and. one to be
worked out in cooperation between
the State and the owners of forest
property. In this way the question
may be settled fairly and justly to
all, the forests may be perpetuated
and individual rights protected.
THE first step in such a policy is
system of fire protection SO effec-
tive as to make forest property a fair
insurable risk. Our present protec-
tive system is efficient and furnishes
a good foundation upo which to build.
! The second step would be a low tax
assessment for owners of timberlands
practising conservative management
with a check on excessive cutting by
high, taxation"
Mr.. Viles mentioned exceptions
that should be provided for. as for
instance. the clearing Of land for ag-
ricultural use.
