The Call OF The Woods

Forestry is not wholly matter of
colo economics. Asrug attachment
exists between the average American
and the forest Many of our famous
men spent their youth under its
stimulating influence. Onf traditions
our heroes, our literature aud our
rise as a nation have been colorfully
affected by the forest. Today high
among among our best selling books
are stories of the big outdoors.
Wisconsin's progress has been due
in very large measure, to the spirit
OF pioneering. The men who shaped
our state got their strength beneath
Gods first temples. And when
they passed they bequeathed that
spirit to US. 1t is for us-all Of us =
to carry on.
The facts about the economic need
for reforestatiou have been made
public. There are enough facts to
swamp any opponent ia reason

we are far short Of meeting The emer-

What we need now is a new bau-

away from our state We need to

servant but the friend of man and

THE FARMER IS TURN.

81 II
There may be arguments against a.
lowing the American farmer sl.fo Ioi
his wheat during the next three years
hut from our point of view they are
% VASTLY overshadowed by the rea-
sons why he should have this consider
alton. this government guarantee
which would amount to the same thing
as subsidy, that they are only mater
ial FOR quibblers. Still, some folks
seemingly directly interested IN the
prosperity of the farmer are openly
opposing the proposed government
Guarantee on wheat. A few OF them
are honestly against any form OF class
LEGISLATION, and others have special
axe of their own to grind. But when
we consider that through many gener-
ations the farmer has been the princi
BAL loser by virtue of class Legislation
and that condition is right now more
actively in effect than at any previous
time. we are wont 10 see the tables
turned in his favor. 1t is all very
well to talk about not helping people
out Of their difficulties by legislative
means, but the precedent has already
been established, and the most direct
and practical way of correcting the
evil at this stage of its development
is by switching the favor. 1t will be
fair to at least to give the matter a
thorough try.out at any rate.

Whenever merchant offers you an
article at given price and makes no
particular effort tc sell it, you can
generally figure that it is worth the
amount asked. But it is often the case
that alluring catalogue advertisements
dwell nightly on the attractiveness
of an article in order to cover up its
weak points in serviceability.

1t has long been realized by most
of Idaho's population that the state
has as little need of both the commits
sioner Of education and the state SUI
perintendent of schools as a cat has
with two tails, and numerous efforts
have been made to abolish the latter
office, but without success. Now a
bill is in the legislature which pro-
vides for doing away with the office
of commissioner of education. The
action which the legislators take on
that bill will be fair indication Of
just how zealously they are working
to lop off needless expense items in
the state government, If the work of
the above two offices overlaps and
one of the jobs is all the people need
to pay for to get the required service;
why the continued bad management
