COMPROMISE ON
RAIL WAGE SEEN
Continued from Page II

Continued from Page II
a combination of increased COM
petition over recent years and
depressed revenues during the
past year has resulted in the
railroads deferring maintenance
and passing dividends and in
terest payments to a point where
the only place left to turn for
economies is the wage bill. While
a program for the overhaul of
their financial structure might
have a long-range benefit, it
would not provide the "immedi-
ate" relief needed to salvage the
carriers from their worst crisis
in history.
Few believed the board viii

And, you find reinforcement
everywhere of the feeling of the

waShout.
STALE AND FLAT
Some pretty fair meetings are
being held in a few of the coun.
ties, notably the G.. o. P. gather
ings in Western Maryland where
the Republicans have their great
est strength. Both Governor
Nice and his opponent, Attorney
General O'Conor, are getting
friendly enough receptions there
and elsewhere. But the whole
campaign seems stale and flat
after the Free States exciting
primary.
They also see the senatorial
contest as a distinct let-down,
since Senator Tydings' reelection
is seemingly assured. Judge
Oscar Lesser appears to be re-
garded neither by himself nor the
State at large as a serious con-
tender.
Even in the governorShip fight
between vernon Nice and
O'Conor it is remarked here that
there is no fire and little smoke.
G. o. P. poster-writerS and. sign
painters put the Governors name
in red letters about six times the
size used for his running mates.
That's about the way they rate,
politically, in the minds of Mary
landerS.
ONLY ONE FEARED
The Governor is the only candi-
date who is really feared by the
opposition. They know of old what
a vote-getter he is. But they're
not even thinking about the others
on the Republican ticket, except
to wonder OCCASIONALLY why Judge
Lesser doesn't make more OF a

period of years, constantly han
dicapped by meager appropria-
tions, the State can point to the
following accomplishments.
1T has developed a splendid
system of fire protection, for
which purpose it maintains 80
lookout towers and numerous
forest guards and Wardens to
protect the 2,250,000 acres of
forest land in the State, public
and private. 1t has distributed
more than a million trees an
nually at low cost, for forest
and roadside planting.
1T has acquired by purchase

acres of forest land. This COM
pares with an average cost of
State-acquired lands iE New

HAS NINE FORESTS -
ut is managing nine State for
ests in seven counties. These
forests are primarily for timber
growing, although also available
for hunting, fishing and camp
ing. The department now real
ICES some income from the cut
ting of dead timber, fire lanes
and roads. and trimming opera
tions: it will receive large re-
turns as the timber reaches ma
turity. The State law provides
that IS per cent of all revenue
from timber shall be paid to the
county where the land IS located.
The plan is to harvest the
timber crop periodically, accord
ing to sound forestry practices,
by contract with private opera
tors or otherwise, and to de-
velop permanent pulp and wood
working industries, adjacent to
the State lands which will an
nually absorb the output.
COOPERATIVE PLAN
Negotiations are now in
progress with the Federal De
partment of Agriculture, where
by the State forestry depart
ment will soon take over, under
q cooperative agreement for SO
years. some $4,000 acres Of land
in Garrett county. and some
5000 acres on the lower Eastern
Shore, for forestry, park and
recreational purposes.
These tracts were originally
acquired by the ReSettlement
Administration, pursuant to its
program for rural rehabilitation
and the acquisition of submarg-
inal land. Since they are con-
tiguous to lands already &C
quired in these areas by the
State, they are peculiarly adapt
able to the uses of the State
program. and can be admins
tered with slight additional ex-
penSe.
MORE NEEDED
IT recommend the ultimate
acquisition by the State of some
100000 acres of land for for
estry and some 100000 acres of
land for park purposes. This
program can be readily financed
as a capital expenditure over a
period of years by annual appro-
priations.

ed that the project will become
Self-supporting through the har-
veSting of timber crops, under
proper regulations, and that the
program will provide employ

During the past five years
