MEREDITH ASKS.
new LEADER IN
NC ADOO'S PLACE

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 P--Dry
prCgressives of the democratic party
should concentrate on a new leader
to replace William G. McAdoo within
the next 80 days, said Edwin T..
Meredith former secretary of agrl-
culture, commenting today on Nc
Adoo's withdrawal as a candidate for
the presidential nomination.
Declaring that the wet forces, under
The leadership of Governor Alfred f.
Smith Of New York, had been bene-
fitted temporarily by Mr. McAdoo's
move, Mr. Meredith added that the
advantage shortly would disappear
if to dry democrats concentrate on
a new leader promptly. Mr. Meredith
was one of McAdoos lieutenants AT
the 1924 national democrat conVen-
ton.
Among those who would be accept
able to the drys, Mr.. Meredith sug-
gested Newton D. Baker, former sec
retary of war; Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, of Montana; Representative
Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, and Sen
ator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas.
Selection of Walsh, he pointed ouo,
would be looked upon as proof that
religion is not and has not been
a { 2al issue in the party
The mechanism for selecting q sue
cessor to McAdoo for dry progressive
leadership was also suggested by
Meredith. He said conference should
be called soon and the leader chosen
by the dry progressives thus as
senbled. He will not issue such
call himself. tt
Meredith said prohibition and farm
relief are the most important issues
before the country. The democrats
can win, in his opinion, however, by
stressing prohibition and the failure
of the republican administration to
enforce it. He is convinced the ma
iority of the democratic party as
we'll as the republican party is dry.
He said that if the democrats attack
the republican enforcement record,
the campaign probably would win a
10 per cent dry republican vote iii
the cities, and thereby the election.

President Standard Oil Co. OF n. !
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 tP'- The next
session Of congress will sec the ill-
production Of one or more bills to
give the federal government voice
in the conservation OF petroleum.
Whether the projected legislation will
pass is one thing, whether II enacted
it con stand the test Of constitutions
slity is quite another. Eminent legal
authorities believe that the federal
government cannot regulate oil pro-
duction without an amendment to
the constitution.
In the meantime, conservation must
rest iii the hands of private interests.
The production of crude oil is pecus
narly difficult of control. Because
Of its more or less fugitive character,
oil is not like either timber or coal
resources which are fixed in position
and remian indisputably the property
Of the owner of the ground. If the
surface overlying an oil pool be
owned by half a dozen people, any
Of them, if not interfered with, can
recover not only his own share OF
the petroleum, but also part of that
Sl'der his neighbors' land. When a
wildcatter opens new pool, oil the
land adjacent but not under his con-
troll is promptly drilled up by others.
This competitive race to bring the
oil to the surface has certain recog-
nized evils. It means too many wells
in . given area where the land is
helu in small parcels.
Also, it may mean a sudden great
increase in the current production
at time when it is not needed,
throwing heavy burden on the
industry to provide storage This
phase of the situation has been
unfortunately exemplified in Seminole.
All the operators in potentially
large new producing area might enter
into a voluntary cooperative agree
ment for, systematic development
along the most efficient lines Due
regard would be had for the current
demands and for the most efficient
methods of recovering the oil from
the pool at the minimum cost. IN
place OF mad race cooperation would
mean proraticn Of production and

The United States and Canada will
observe their forest weeks jointly
the week of April 24-3O, domestically
by presidential and in many cases
gubernatorial proclamation.
The week is designed as special
period in which to spread the gospel
of conservation. 1t is different from
other designated weeks in that nobody
tries to sell you a forest just 50
that you can conserve it. The com
mittee in charge of it is composed
of 100 organizations representing
question.
Just how much American Forest
Week has accomplished since Presi-
dent Harding first endorsed it by
proclamation in 1921 is perhaps
problematical, but no one will argue
against the idea. One learns from
the forest service that the timber
supply of the United States is being
used up four times as rapidly as
growth is replacing it and that the
consumption is expected to increase.
Bigger and better timber crops
is the answer of the service, which
says that the entire 470,000,000 acres
of American forest land must be put
to work growing trees. This en-
visages persuasion of all owners of
forest land to undertake timber grow
ing as soon as possible.
Other forest service figures show
that 80 per cent of high grade saw
timber is being taken from stored
