CHARGES RECKLESS
CUTTING Of TIMBER
Senator Harrison Urges In
vestigation of U. S. Forest
Devastation.
WASTE OF RESOURCES
Plea for Conservation, With
Adoption of Comprehensive and
Wise Policy of Reforestation.
WASTE OF RESOURCES

Senator Harrison OF Mississippi to-
day addressed the Senate in support
Of his resolution creating a special
committee to investigate the question
of reforestation in the United States.
Conservation of our natural re-
sources" said Senator Harrison, is
vital to the life of the nation. No
natural resource is more susceptible
to depletion or destruction than is
our supply OF timber. Within the
last half century our forests have
been cut with a recklessness and
magnitude experienced by no other
country.
Estimate of Forest Depletion.
1T is estimated that 100000 acres
Of forests in the United states are
cut and 100000 acres are burned
annually. 1t is estimated that in
the United States there are 400, 900
900 acres of forest lands, and that al
ready 40 per cent has been logged
of its virgin timber: that pa per cent
cunts ms today only partial and
irregular growth of culled timber OF
useful sizes, % pei. cent has been
stripped clean of merchanta BILE
product. and that 1712 per cent
Of our forest area or aggregate Of
81 400. 400 acres has been stripped of
Its merchantable timber, burned over
ami is lying practically idle, being
known az unproductive lands.
Our government has done less than
airy civilized country in the world
toward the conservation Of our forests
and the adoption Of a comprehensive
and wise policy Of reforestation."
Forest Service BlameIess,
Senator Harrison said that this was
not the fault of the forest service of
the Agriculture Department, which, he
said, had performed it's duty in a praise
worthy manner.
THE trouble is" said Senator Har-
riSon. that this great government has
/ never adopted, SO far as our timber re-
! sources are concerned. any fixed policy
I to conservation or reforeStation.
There is no better time than today
, for Congress TO begin a thorough in
vestigation and study of the many ques-
! ton involved in this great problem, and
Z to recommend a comprehensive and
! broad and wise economic policy Of con-
! servation and reforestation, so that the
national government can cooperate
with the states, and those states in
which forests are located, can enact
uniform laws, SO far as the conditions
will warrant. toward conserving the
! timber We have and making possible
more in the passing of the years"

Turks Reject Suggestion.

The Turks have rejected the allied
suggestion that foreign judges should
sit on the bench with Turkish magis-
trates in trials of foreign cases, and
it is conceded some other formula
must be found.
Generally speaking. it appears that
efforts are being made among the con-
sulting powers to prevent the sign
ing of a makeshift peace or the put
ting off OF the solution of vital ques-
tions, as 1t is felt this would only ag-
gravate the troubled situation in the
near east and lead to new rivalries
through the negotiation of special
treaties by which one country would
be favored by Turkey over another.

solution on the conference, but it is
pointed out that America has every
reason for wishing to have the question
settled satisfactorily here, so that
henceforth the United States might
act in unison with the other powers In
all that concerns the legal status of
foreigners in Turkey. If satisfac-
tory solution is not found by this con-
ference 1t is considered probable in
American quarters that the United
States will open direct negotiations
later with the Angora government to
establish the rights of American citi-
Zens.
Ambassador Child has helped bring
about meetings between Lord Curzon
and NJ. Barrere of the British and
French delegations with Ismet Pasha
to discuss ways and means of settle
ment, and both Rear Admiral Bristol
and Joseph G. Grew, minister to Swift
zerland, the other members of the
American delegation, are helping the
ambassador in this mediation.

Auto Reciprocity.

In order to assure auto reciprocity
between Maryland and the District Of
Columbia. beginning January /, 1924,
gested to the Governor of Maryland a
sixty-day truce on auto tags, pending
the passage of gasoline tax by Con-
gress.
Marylands terms to the District to
bring about reciprocity required the
enactment Of a gas tax similar to that
in effect in the state. The District
Commissioners have shown their good
faith by preparing bill providing for
the gas tax and having it introduced
in Congress. 1t Is now up to Mary
land to end the unnatural license war
and declare a truce until the bill can
be passed.
1t is unfortunate that the gas tax
measure could not have been adopted
at the hast session of Congress. Every
effort was made to get it through, but
due to the press Of last-minute bust
ness, action upon it was not possible.
If Congress does not take quick ac-
ton on the bill when it reconvenes
and Maryland does not agree to the
proposal of the Commissioners the
situation will be hopelessly muddled.
Maryland can simplify matters if
she will promptly acquiesce in the
truce proposal of the District. 1t may
not be necessary to use this agree
ment, but it is a safeguard to definite
reciprocity when January 1 rolls
around.
Marylanders and Washingtonians
alike are committed to the reciprocity
idea. 1t will eliminate many traffic
controversies growing out of the Bit
ter feeling engendered in the many
years Of the burdensome form of taxa
ton. 1t will bring all of the states
and the District of Columbia in line
one tag will permit a motorist to
use every road IN every state in the
Union-and it will promote the nat
ural friendship OF two growing cities.
Washington and Baltimore.
Despite complications, the District
has done it's share to bring about this
ideal condition. Tags for the new
year will be on sale soon for District
drivers. With the gas tax in effect
these tags are to cost the motorist lit
tie more than cost. The District has
agreed, in the event that the bill
passes, to work out some system Of
refund, in this way demonstrating
that it will let nothing interfere with
the prompt establishment Of reci-
procity.
1t is confidently expected that Gov.
Ritchie, who was reelected partly on
a platform Of reciprocity for 1924
will take into consideration all of
these things, and will speedily accede
to the Commissioners proposal and
put his shoulder to the wheel" along
with Washingtonians and Maryland
ers, to get quick passage OF the gas
tax bill in Congress.
