WOULD PROTECT WOODS

While the government is deter mined to protect and upbuild the na- tional forests of the country. 1t Is very anxious that each state In which there is forest reserve adopt means for fire protection.
 In letter to Representative John D. Clarke of New York, President Harding declares: "The last annual report of the forest service of the department of agriculture shows that in the six states of North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Florida, Ala bama and Mississippi, of which only North Carolina is organized for fire protection. the area of forest land burned in 1921 was 5S per cent of the total burned in the United States, and the damage resulting was 49 per cent of the total damage in the coun- try. This seems conclusively to prove the importance of insisting upon eff fective state cooperation if the fed eral governments contribution to fire protection is to be most useful"
 The President concurs in the pro- posal to withhold from states with out protection federal funds until leg islatures devise and put into effect a cooperative program.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TO SPEND BIG SUM

SAVANNAH, Feb. 14.-(Special.)- J. The extent and variety of the Gen. tral of Georgia railways purchasing program Is indicated in a statement from W. A. Winburn, the president, which gives an insight into the transportation problem. The Central of Georgia plans to spend in 1923 for additions and improvements the sum of $5,741,292. Of this amount, the largest item-s3910, ,3S5-ls for new equipment, including 25 loco- motives, 800 ventilator cars, 100 stock cars, 500 coal cars. 10 cabooses, six passenger cars and a wrecking der rick.
 To insure and prevent congestion and delay in crowded yards, to pro- vide protection at crossings and for other items the management has appropriated the sum of $1,068,000 New shop tools costing SS5,0O0 will be purchased. Steel and concrete culverts and bridges to replace wood- en culverts, call for an expenditure of s325,000; and for the extension of the electric block signal system from Fort Worth to Albany, $265, 900 will be necessary. The rail laying pro- gram calls for the expenditure of $676,20o. Creosoted cross-ties to the number of 500,000 and 10.500 tons of 90-pound rail will be laid.
 President Winburn points out that a large part of this huge sum must be secured by going Into the market and borrowing money and that capi- tai will not purchase railway se- curities unless they are as attrsc- tive in interest rate and investment features as are other enterprises. He says the public loses heavily when transportations is inadequate.
 "The Central of Georgia is earnest ly endeavoring to place itself in po- sition to serve its patrons adequately; in turn we expect the public to manifest such sentiment toward

HARDING TO VISIT. DOUBTFUL STATES ON WESTERN TOUR
Administration Leaders Are Stirred by Opposition of Johnson and
 LoWden
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. ID. C.. Feh. 1A

If Mrs. Harding continues to inn prove, the President. after a rest in Florida, will go to Alaska. 1t is learned today. En route to the coas, however. he will visit those states wherein presidential primaries are established by law. Returning. he will go to those which he will not have visited.
 In other words, the President con- templates Swing around the cir cult" on which he will give particu- lar attention to those states, which will send delegates to the next con- vention chosen directly by the people.
 Hiram Johnson, California senator, already presidential candidate, has stirred up the administration forces. He is arguing an extension of the primary system. He has formally de- clared that heretofore a nominee in republican convention was elected by hand-picked delegates from the south, where there is no repub- lican party" and "reactionary" po- liticians from the north. It is his purpose, and the purpose of other 'progressives" to have majority in the next convention elected by the people.
 At the present time republican poll ticians are doubtful that the Presi- dent could win in primaries over out standing "progressives" and favor ite" sons. They do not doubt, how ever, but that he would be able to win following a personal visit to pri- mary states. Thus the visit is con- templated.
 In the meantime there Is a re- crudence of the story that former Governor Lowden of Illinois Is anx- ious to gain the nomination. Between Lowden and Harding no great love is lost Lowden is critical of Hardings S policy of national isolation. He has formally stated his position.
 The feeling between the men was accentuated when Lowden, from mid ocean. some months ago, resorted to wireless to protest in the United States against the appointment of Nat Goldstein as collector of revenue in St. Louis. Goldstein was one of Low den'si $2,500 delegates to the Chicago convention, and was repudiated by Lowden. His nomination to be col lector of customs in St. Louis was ul- timately withdrawn by the President.

will There is no doubt about 1t. If this statement is challenged by our opponents the matter can be put to test.
 Let England declare the threat of war removed and pledge herself to abide by the result of a plebisc;te on a straight-out vote as between the republic and the Free State and recognize whichever secures the majority as the established state in Ireland.
 We declare we will abide by the result in that case and there need be no more war, either in Ireland or between Ireland and England"

LASKER WOULD PLACE PHILIPPINES UNDER
 U. s. COASTWISE LAW

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Chairman Lasker announced today that the shipping board had decided to recom- mend to President Harding that he issue a proclamation putting the Philippines under the American coastwise law. provided the board could guarantee adequate service be- tween the islands and American ports on all coasts.
 The effect of such an order would be to prevent foreign vessels from operating between the continental United States and the Philippines in asmuch as the coastwise navigation laws permit freight and passengers to be carried between American ports only in vessels flying the American flag.
