CALIFORNIA FORESTS MORE
 THAN PAY FOR SELVES

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 5.-The na- >tional forests of California are one of the big business enterprises of the government that pays for itself Fig ures just released by the United States forest service district head quarters at San Francisco, show that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, there was turned into the Federal treasury the sum of ST. 241 ,605 as receipts from timber sales, livestock grazing and other forms of uses of the 17 national forests of the state. The expenditures for the same period amounted to approxi- mately sS95,O0O, leaving a credit bal ance of over one-quarter of a million dollars.
 Twenty-Five per cent of the national forest receipts or $310,40O will be re- turned to the state to be distributed to counties in which national forests are located for school and road de. velopment.

| the industry. In addition to Presi dent Coolidge the list of speakers included Acting Secretary Gore, ot the department of agriculture; J Walter Drake, assistant secretary oi commerce, and William B. Greeley chief of the United States forest service.
 Forest service officials have ex pressed the opinion that if Efficient products can be brought up to the same plans as the two other phases of the government forest policy promotion of forest growth and for est protection-approxim 6,00O,- 100000 of the annual drain of 25,. OO0,000,O0O cubic feet of the nations forest reserves will be saved for use- full purposes. On the principle that tree saved is a tree grown, they also figure that another 6,O0O,OO0,0O feet could be saved eventually.
 
 Prominent men from all sections of the country, including manufac- turers, dealers, re-manufacturers and users of lumber, timber, pulp, paper and other forest products, for estry engineers and professors, rep resentatives of the trade and daily press and various government az encies were invited to attend the meeting which will continue for a few days.
 The conference is an outgrowth of a proposition sponsored by the research section of the forest service at the request of Carlyle P. Wins low, director of the United States forest products laboratory of Madi- son, Wis. MT. Winslow issued a settlement saying that "at the pres ent rate of cutting the supply is being alarmingly depleted despite the efforts at tree growing and for est hre hgntlng.
 One way to help tide over the wood shortage, he sad, is for the wood user to realize the much higher value wood will acquire as the sup ply decreases and especially when it is grown as a crop, and to do his share in conservation. In add ing that the greatest loss of wood at present comes from decay in service, which lis largely prevent able" he estimated that savings equivalent to four-ninths of the present annual timber cutting on the forests could be made through the general adoption of better wood utili- zation methods, developed through research, with corresponding lengthening of the life of the for

seems possible that the individual industries, by banding together, can overcome their handicaps of isloa- tion and collectively employ more experts to work out better pro- cesses.
 ''It is to consider joint efforts to- ward better forest utilization that this conference has been summoned. It is a movement in which the state and national government, the indus tries, the universities, the consum- CTS and the technical experts should join. The various government az encies equipped to help will, I know, be eager to do what they can to forward this undertaking.
 "We hold the resources of our country as trust. They ought to be used for the benefit of the present generation, but they ought neither to be wasted or destroyed. The generations to come also have a vested interest in them. They ought to be administered for the benefit of the public. No monopoly should be permitted which would result in profiteering nor on the other hand should they be indis- criminately bestowed upon those who will unwisely permit them to be dissipated These great natural resources must be administered for the general welfare of the people both for the present and for the future. There must be both use and restoration. The chief purpose of this conference is to discover poli- cies whcih will, in the hands of private individuals and of public officers, tend to the further advance ment of this already well-defined and securely adopted principle"
 About $50 producers, manufactur- CTS and consumers of wood and wood products assembled here today for the first national conference on util- ization of forest products to consider methods for eliminating waste in

 Following the presidents address, Acting Secretary Gore welcomed the delegates and declared "the effec- tiveness of this conference lies in organized industrial effort"
 Joint effort alone," he said, "of- fers a solution of the problem of how the remaining timber resources of the United States can be used most economically and effectively"
 Chief Forester Greeley told the conference that large wastes in the utilization of timber lis a we'll recognized fact" and that all citi- zens are responsible for this condi- tion and all must share in the prob lem's solution"
 A committee of twenty-four on permanent organization, the only committee to be. appointed, was se- lected by Mr. Gore. A. c. Good var, of Buffalo, N. Y, president of the Great Southern Lumber com pany, was named chairman.

EXHAUSTION OF U. s.
 FORESTS IS FEARED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. President Coolidge today asked for a specific program of timber-saving in opening the national conference on utilization of forest products.
 The nation faces timber exhaus- tion, the president warned, and the situation must be met, he insisted, by diminishing waste and increasing supply.
 The resources of the nation are a trust, Mr. Coolidge declared, sub- iect to use by the present genera tion, administered free of monopo- lies and from those "who will un- wisely permit them to be dissipated, ,' but there must be restoration as we'll as use.
 About 754,O00,000,O0O cubic feet of timber is left in this country, he pointed out and against this supply there is an annual drain of 25,O0O,- 00O,00O cubic feet while the annual timber growth is only 6,O00,0O0,000 feet In the face of this situation, he declared, the nation must turn to the problems of growing woood from the soil like any other crop.
 ITO bridge the fatal gap between cut and growth" however, MT. Cool idge said, sufficient action had not been taken and the country con- sequently must adjust itself imme- diately to a reduced per capita con- sumption.
 The president saw hopeful signs" in federal legislation as enacted in the Clarke McNary bill, passed at the last session of congress, mak- ing provision for fire protection and restoration, and in the Weeks law authorizing government purchase of numerous forest tracts. These must be supported, he declared, by pol private individuals and public off cers, tend to the further advance ment of this already we'll defined and securely adopted principle"
 50 vast an enterprise as the for est-using industries must not be allowed to decline for lack of raw material,' the president continued. We have abundant soil to produce it. We have the energy and the intelligence to learn to use our for ests without waste. This confer ence ought to lay the foundations of a far-seeing and effective effort for forest thrift
 ''In the coming struggle for tim- Der, economic survival among the forest industries will depend on eco homie fitness. Economic fitness will be measured by good man. ment and good technical processes. These qualities come from research and from training; and the forest industries, to reach a high level of skill, must make a full use of both these tools of modern progress
 Hitherto, the diversity from the geographical isolation, and the small average size of our wood-using in dustries, coupled with abundance of raw material, has kept them from advancing as rapidly in improved methods as some of our more highly concentrated industries. But timber shortage will force competition in better methods Much is already known of better methods and the time is already here when this knowledge can be profitably en- ployed.
 Many companies have in fact made notable progress in waste re- duction and are furnishing examples of what can be done by careful man. agement and expert planning. It

Real Estate Promoters
Wreck Financial Firm

New York. - The Commonwealth
finance corporation, a $1O,0OO,O00 con-
Germ, has been placed in the hands

The corporation bought third and
fourth mortgages on Washington

The Washington firm organized
dummy corporations within it's office,
Stenographers and bookkeepers were
presidents and board of directors. A
100000 property was mortgaged for
it's full value and then "sold" to a
dummy corporation, when the price
would be increased and another mort
gage placed on the property. Rents
were increased, while the spectators
blamed labor for high rents.
The Commonwealth finance corpor-
alton bought the third and fourth

Magee revelations were followed by
dramatic admissions by Doheny and

From then on the oil probe became
dramatic.
Magee told the senate committee

the same period last year when the

This increase in happiness and hui
man well-being, forced on the indus
try by American public opinion
through organized labor is costing 1C
per cent in steel production, according
to Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the
United States steel corporation. Yet
the corporation would appear to be
bearing up under it.
The directors voted an extra sc
cents per share to the quarterly divi-
dends on common stock in January
and April, making it, as Judge Gary
said, virtually "a Z per cent stock. y
Net earnings for the first quarter of
1924 were reported as $50,O75, ,445.
That is the largest except during
the war, and more than $15,OOO,00O
greater than during the first quarter
of last year.
Twice since the 12-hour day was
eliminated, in October and March, the
Gary works have set worlds records
for volume of pig iron production.

STATES RIGHTS
PLEA RIDICUL-
ED BY JONES

Atlanta, Ga-Jerome Jones, editor
of the Journal of Labor, ridicules the
Georgia general assembly for its re-
fusal to pass the federal child labor
amendment, on the ground that this
would violate the principle of states
rights.
"The application of the principle of
states rights said Editor Jones, "is
very much like wooden ball with a
rubber string attached-it is put in
action and made to appear and dis
appear at the will of the operator
"We called attention in the last
issue of this paper when the Volstead
(prohibition) amendment was approx
ed by the general assembly of this
state the wooden ball Estates rights
was concealed in the pockets of our
statesmen and the press"
