The proposed commission IS to be
purely advisory, the State department
pointed out, and it's recommendations
will have no binding effect either on
France or any other nation party to the
treaty of Versailles. Therefore, when
posed commission would not be per-
mitted to reduce French PREPARATIONS
claims, he said only what might have
been expected of him under the circum-
stances and it did not in any way alter
the feasibility of the Hughes plan.

Cannot Change Treaty.

1t was pointed out at the department
that it is an obvious rule that a treaty
to which France is a party, meaning
the treaty of Versailles, cannot be
changed without the consent of France,
and there is no thought here that the
French should be committed in advance
to the making of a change in the treaty
which would be to Frances disadvan-
tage.
The proposal. the State department
added, simply that a financial plan be
developed after a careful inquiry into
Germany's ability to pay, is that this
plan then stand on it's merits. If the
French do not accept the plan worked
out that would be regrettable, but at
least the plan would be there and there
is always a chance that the plan would
prove acceptable

and minded tool of the railways to
his grave in attempting to get his
Office away from him, the platform
being to bring the criminally extor-
tionate railways to book, landing a
senate seat after his opponent was
beneath the sod, only to wind up in
the senate as the champion of rail-
way amalgamation into single groups
and ultimately irto a single group,
raising rates to unhear6 of levels,
giving the railways billions of dol
lars in treasury gratuities, and final
ly of treading upon that paragraph
in the federal constitution under
which his Iowa 2-cent fare law was
enacted and enforced. 1t was less
than fifteen years ago that Cummins
was the despised and detested of
every %old-guard republican of Iowa
exactly as Brookhart is today. On
all hands he was denounced as per
an migrate. For his having had the
inhunanity to be a candidate against
Allison. whose two feet were all but
in n coffin, he was rilloried for actu-
ally causing the death of a great
statesman and good You would
hardly believe it but this is the same
Cunmins who the day he took his
senate seat was allowed to sit at the
side of the room alone, without a
member of the old guard going over
to him to shake hands and offer a
word of welcome. Yet today he is
excused on the ground that he is i'll,
which happens to be the same excuse
that was uttered in his dotage for
Allison.
In memory probably the only man
to start and remain radical is Sen.
ator LaFollette, but ever his radical
ism has not been consistent. He
voted against placing wood pulp and
print paper on the free list because
his state was not yet wholly depleted
of its forests and had a few paper
mills and employees, being on that
question an insurgent in the other
fellows district, and when the time
came to help the Pacific slope to
overcome the long and short haul
outrage he was lukewarm and n rail
road reformer in his homo precincts
only.

be said of a possible majority of the
men jp national legislative service
from the first 10 the present con.

SUPPLY OF TIMBER ASSURED.
With Proper Management, Occur
D'Alene National Forest Can Fur
nish Millions of Feet Yearly.

Fifty million feet Of sawlogs can be
removed annually for all time from
the Occur d'Alene national forest.
Idaho, according to the prescriptions
of the management plan approved by
the forest service, United States De-.
partment Of Agriculture.
The net area Of forest Is about &C.,
600 acres, Of which about $780, 900 acres
Is considered as productive forest land.
The great share of the timber, as
usual, is In two age classes, the ma
ture and overmature class and the
very young. 0 to 20-year, class.
The main problem Of management Is
that Of making the mature timber last
for a sufficient period to enable the
youngest and intermediate classes to
reach maturity. This average period
is estimated at 80 years, during which
time a total of 1000, 900, 900 feet will
be removed, or an average Of 50,OOO.-|

RADIO FACTS AND "RUMORS."

1t might be slightly more honora-
BILE, If not candid, Of a local printing
press lessee, claiming ownership, and
alleged editor, in denouncing the I'M
questioned reliability of the radio
news of President Harding's death
as an unreliable "rumor," If the same
editor had not personally begged and
.~'pirated' the same news from the
same radio, then took it to the festive
board of a banquet that was in prog
ress and slipped the information to
the POSTMASTER for announcement.
In other words, Editor Pittman tele-
phoned to Mr.. Boyle, radio owner,
for confirmation of the report cf Mr..
Harding's death, gave i. as a con.
firmed fact 10 Mr.. Lockhart, who an
nounced it, and now because he pre-
ferred the a~ristocratic company OF
%banqueters to the fairly earned glory
of getting out an extra, which real
newspape instinct would have i'm
pelled. he denounces the radio re-
port as a "rumor'' and probable fake,
On top of all this he published the
White Pine News radio account in
his belated issue the next day under
the caption by Radio Some sour
grapes these.
And by the way, memory goes back
to the time last summer when a radio
outfit managed by two young men OF
Ely, which the White Pine News had
helped to finance and is still interest
ed in, happened to fall under the no.
tice Of the Ely editor. At his solic-
itation he was given a demonstration
of how the apparatus worked. The
football season was or and thai eye
ming Mr.. Pittman printed in his Hard
Times, unknown 10 the. demonstrat
crs, the information he had received
through the receiver. Being called
to task for this breach Of etiquette he
cndeavored to buy future reports OF
the football games received over ap-
paratus in which the White Pine
News owned a half interest.
And this the same radio service
which the Hard Times editor now
says is unreliable" and a fake.

twO-thirds of the senate to convict

expression of the constitution what
ever on the subject, that bare ma
jorty of five against four members
Of the supreme court may set aside
any and all acts of congress Mt any
time and anywhere, yet leave in force
other acts that are directly and spe-
officially in conflict with the same
constitution.
This is a condition that is ;ntolera-
BILE and must come 20 an issue il
this form Of government is to endure.
Granting that theoretically there
should be some tribunal to compare
the statutory enactments with the
fundamental law lying beneath them.
the facts as they stand forth are
that, in the first place, the supreme
court is not vested with the power
that it asserts and has usurped. and
If it were the intention Of the franz
ers of the constitution to grant it
that unseemly power they naturally
would have placed some restraints
and conditions on such grant as they
did upon congress, the senate and
the states in the adoption Of amend.

and the impeachment OF officers.

tion were men of unusual powers OF
caution and foresight. They were
