TO ENLARGE PUBLIC FORESTS

A senatorial committee which has been studying
the forestry question brings forth sound program
of conservation and reforestaon. It advises federal
assistance 80 remove the risks and handicaps from
greater protection from fire and the readjustmen Of
taxing methods to apply fairly to crop taking
so long to mature.
recommends not a more extensive planting OF trees
such land but the purchasing of additional land for
reforestatiOn from private owners whore y IS cheap
and adapted to the purpose.
1t is rather startling at first-this idea Of gov
ernment which has given away land and forests with
such a lavish hand repurchasing land from private
owners which to raise public forests 1t sounds
reasonable, none the less.
The new forests deliberately planted and grown,
would be far better conserved than the old forests
were. Vast tracts, good for nothing else might be
quired without much expense even donated by thtlr
owners for perpetual public forests And the seeding
might be done, it is now in some European coun-
tries, mainly from airplanes.

NO WORTHY BUILDINGS

. Inc modern nOm2ds who must go out ABOUT this
time OF year seeking dwellings in apartment
houses are struck afresh with the general uglness OF
arrangement Of the flats they inspect Is it absolutely
impossible, they ask to combine convenience with
beauty? If the original design calls for fireplace,
must 1t inevitably be atrocious fireplace, little
op-Slded, not set in the center of the wall space
breaks? Must the light fixtures be hdeously ornate
that they like bad dream? Must the ice boxes
and stoves be placed side by side? Must wall paper
be argepatterned loud-colCred and entirely out OF
harmony with woodwork?
Perhaps flat-hunterS expect too much. But most
OF them convinced that perfection has not yet been
attained in the construction and decoration of such
buildings And their conclusion is officially sustained
in community at least.
In 1916 the chamber of commerce in that COM
munity established a custom Of building awards.
medal was be given for merit in buildings inspected
by committee appointed by the local chapter of the
American Institute of Architects the local Engineer
ing Society," the Builders Exchange. the Retail Mer-
chants Board, the Wholesale Merchants Board and the
local Women's City Club Judgment Of the buildings
inspected to be based the esthetic vaue OF the
buildings, the sanitation safety ventilation. proviS
sion for thorough and economical cleaning and adapta
ton to the which the buildings to be put.
Only award has been made since the custom was
suggested.
OF the buildings completed in 1922, the committee
inspected 141 apartment houses IS factories 108 small
commercial buildings Of three or fewer stories The
IA and who Investigated these structures
could not find single which they would give the
medal A similar situation would be found in most
other cities The need Of such situation is hard TO
understand.

HOW ABOIT HONE TAXES?

A taxation chart prepared by the National Indus
trial Conference Board shows American taxes moving
easily along slight upgrade from 1913 to 1915 and
then shooting sharply upward until they make I'M
passabIe mountain range.
There are three curves representing, local, state
and federal taxes. Al the start local taxes high
est, totaing Sl2l40C0000 year, with federal taxes
S682,000000 year and state taxes 1888, ,000000. For
two years the curves run along almost parallel in their
gentle rise. Then in 1915 there is sudden shooting
up Of federal taxes which at their peak, in the fsca!
year of 1919-20. almost touch the G000COO0O line.
From that point federal taxes decline. But the 9TH
ers which began their real climb in 19l718, keep right
climbing. For the year 192021, in total of about
eight and onehalf billions local taxes are $2460,
O000O0 federal taxes $4903 100000 and state taxes
s. S1,126,000O00.
Now federal taxes are lower than that, with Con
gress planning further reduction But local and state
taxes are higher still.
What good is it going to do to reduce the federal
taxes and make the government live up to rconom
zeal budget, if cities, counties and states GO ahead
spending and taxing more recklessly than ever?

PARKING SPACE FOE PLANES

''The idea of danger in flying IS quite the bunk,
says Anthony Fokker, Dutch designer of the famous
Fokker fighting plane at is Just as safe as any other
form Of transportation. All you need IS the right kind
OF equipment and the right kind OF people to operate
it,"
He is pleased with The aviation progress made by
the United States air mail service, and is surprised
that commercial aviation has Jagged so in this coun-
try That condition, he believes, will pass. In
short time he expects to at least arplane to
every 1000 population and every great city surrounded
by ring of landing fields.
The thing to think about now, he insists is park
ing space for arplanes. This is rather disquetng IN
asnuch as no American city seems yet to have solved
the problem of parking space for automobiles, and
that need is growing right along. Is parking
space going to be the great municipal problem OF the
future?
