The question of calling an extra see aicti of the legislature to eliminate some of the objectionable features In the appropriation bill passed at the recent session. Is being favorably dis- . cussed with a probability that the gov ernor will see the necessity of calling the session. Had the members fol lowed the advice given by the gover nor to seggregate the various appro priations, giving him an opportunity of vetoing grafts, this trouble could have been averted. So Indignant have the people become over the unwarrant ed extravagance of the legislature that they are circulating a petition to in voke the referendum and have the question submitted to the people. It is contended that the session would not have to last ever two t)a's all1 the Yost would be less than the expense of calling a special election which will be necessary if the referendum is In- 'oked. Th Telegram discussing the question says: Whlle there was pronounced dis inclination on the part of Governoi Chamberlain, when the matter was first broached, to call an extra ses slon of the legislature for the purpose of straightening out the appropriation tangle, and while the governor's view of the matter as it then appeared un tending the conditional assurances h. .isks fur.

Along pni'.-tli'n linos, and In tho In terest of the simplification of the pub- He bustnes, is lht transfer of the man agement of the forest reserves of the I'nlted States from the department of the Interior to the department of agri culture, where it logically belong, and where the bulk of the work connected with forest management has been done for some time. It brings the var ious Inttres'.s connected with our great forests, which have suffered from mls- Tianagement and divided responsibil ity, under the control and maintenance of one department and of one respon sible head, replacing the bureau of forestry in the department of agricul ture and the division of forestry In .he general land office. Its new name Is '"the forestry service." This measure was warmly advocat ed by the president, who In his latest message to congress called attention to these facts, and to the additional fact that nearly all the great nations have placet! their forest service under their departments of agriculture, whll only two small nations and one colony retain it under the control of their Interior departments. He points out that " this is the result of long and varied experience, and It agrees fully with the requirements of good admin istration In our case," a sentiment which has met with the prompt ap proval of such organisations as the N'utional I.I .-e Stock Association, the American Mining Congress and; the National Board of Trade. In his Instructions to the forester, tho title of the new chief of the service. Secretary Wilson calls attention of the the service to the fact that "all land Is to be devoted to its most productive use for the permanent good of the whole people, and not for the tempor ary benefit of Individuals or com panies;" that "all the resource of forest reserves are for use" (the lat ter word Italicized), and "this use must be brought about In a thorough ly prompt and businesslike manner," a statement tltit semed necessary, from the way things have been going in the past. "The permanence of the forest reserves," he points out, "Is in dispensable to continued prosperity." a fact some preceding generations, an! pot a few members of the present, have evidently failed to recognise. Truly, the American people have rea son to congratulate themselves on hav Inc so businesslike an administration. AN OFFSET TO DR. OSLER. Addressing the V. M. C. A. of Chi cago yesterday, an Ohio physician of note expressed the belief that man may live , "happy and useful," for 150 years. He said that after a third of th century of study of longevity he vs. v' w n f " - - doubtedly was pound, it now appears I had come to the conclusion that while that if the legislator will rive the gov-1 the ernor proper co-Operatlort this much vexed question may, after all, best be settled by the calling of an extra ses sion. "Governor Chamberlain's position baa bsen that as the legislature was presumed to have performed iU Vat" Jous acts the making of appropria tions Included with mature and prop er deliberation, it should abide by those acts, even though a hornets' nesi of criticism had been brought about its ears, And the governor was right. ut the prospective resort to the re ferendum, with the resultant added ex pense to the state, delay in reaching settlement of the question, and annoy ance and Inconvenience to the legiti mate state Institutions and thlr at taches, Is somewhat appalling, both to the governor and the people, and If there Is a way whereby this delay and Inconvenience can be avoided and the prospective expense to the state les sened, that way should be taken. An extra session of sufficient Juration rrmlt the correction of these appropriation blunders, the leg islators to serve without pay or mile age, seems to offer such a way. "The governor is anxious that the extra session, If it is held, should be without r-riHt to the state. In the strictest sense this cannot well be the case. Assuming that, in patriotic ap preciatlon of the requirements of the situation. Legislators waive the mat tc-r of pay and mlleag.?, there are other expends Incident even to a two days session of the legislature that are un avoidable. The total of thepe, how ever should pay and mileage be ex cludedmay be figured as less expen sive to the state than would be resort to the referendum and the resultant increase In the cost of state supplies for the next year or more "It Is undeniably the desire of the ueoPle that certain extravagant ex r.n.mnrf Khali be headed off. To do this with the least friction and ex pense is simply a plain matter of busi jiess, so far as the interests of the state are concerned "it was the avowed intention of many of the members of the legisla ture when It convened to "put the gov ernor In a hole." This programme was i arrled out in altered form. Instead of administering the punishment men tioned to the governor, the legislature put itself In a hole more than ade quately wide and deep. The governor holds the key to the trapdoor that covers it. He evinces some disposition to let the legislature out. The legisla ture should meet him half way by ex NEW MEXICO FU 00D High Water Plays Havoc Railroad Tracks.
