IDAHO FIGHT ON FORESTRY Dubois Stands by President Against Jlcst or Delegation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May 24. The announced determin ation of the Roosevelt administration to create new forest reserves In Idaho, the opposition to this policy, led by Senator Heybum. and the championing ot tho move by Senator Dubois, promises to make forestry one of the foremost Issues in jaano ror several years to come. At the outset., accordinir tn both Sena. tors, the predominant sentiment in Idaho is against the extension of forest reserves. A vast majority of the people today be lieve thefe are enonch reserve. and ran. tend that more should not be created. Yet tne experience of other states Indicates that this sentiment will crndtmlK- dip down, that tho onrosltlon will TvtthVi- ns the" people become more familiar with the President's foretrv doIIpv and understand just what reserves are for and how they are managed. There Is no denvine that fnrwirv a a National policy, has come to stay. Not the forestry of ten years ago or five years ago. our nractical forestrv. laid nut on comprehensive lines, with a view to srv ing ine puouc interests. Five years ago practically every Western state was op posed to the orevalllntr Government for estry policy, because It was Impractical, Decause it was administered by men who had no knowledge Of fnrMlre nrnltrra and because the forestrv servW had hl come the dumping-ground for worn-out politicians rrom every state In the Union. When Theodore Roosevelt hramc pci. dent he saw what a mess the forestrv service was: he realized that thr- w.t had jUEt caUPft for comnlnlnf. and Yin vnri- quickly set about brinclns- ordpr nut r chaos. He knew that Gifford Pinchot, chief of the Forestry Bureau, was the rignt man to nanoic forestry matters, and he. with Mr. Pinchot. frampd a non.- for estry policy, which has been in force for more than three vears. This ntan-nor- mlts proper use of the foVest: it permits tne cutting or mature trees, the develop ment or mine wherever minerals are found: it ncrmlts restricted prain- it gives the public many privileges not 'en- 303-eu in an unreserved public forest, and, withal. It throws around the forests as complete a system of protection as Is pos sible with the limited fund? appropriated oy congress. The outcry acalnst the. Ttonspvuit tnra try policy usually comes from those who do not understand, or those who know tncy win do curtailed In the exercise of what they erroneously term their "rights." Rig lumber corporation? that are seeking to denude the forests, with no care ror the future; large stockmen, who want to monopolize the public range; tim ber thieve and speculator. ar nnnnd t the President on the forestry idea because he blocks their Illegitimate games. But thousands of other persons are standing out uccause tncy 00 not understand; be cause thev believe riiwrvoc ohonini.t.. shut off all use of timber; because they believe lumbering, grazing and mining cannot oe carried on within rn-i Ait neso assumptions are false.

PROTEST AGAIXST UXIOX. Its Authors Say Cumberland Church Would Be Absorbed. FRESNO, Cal-Iay 24. The protest of the anti-unionists was filed at the after noon session of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It declared the belief of the protestants In the. doctrines of the Cumberland Ohiirrh. and that the revision of the Westminster confession was not a revision, and that there Is no doctrinal agreement between the two bodies. It affirmed that none ot the steps taken have been constitutional; that there is no authority for the pro- poseu union, ana mat tne plan proposed simply means the absorption of the Cum berland Church Into the larger body.
