Other words, while not as strikingly
, apparent, forests play an Important
part In our everyday life.
Untir recently people not encased In
a business dealing1 yry Intimately with

forest, perpetuation as a problem . re

number can see - that . unless, we , keep
: areas growing new crops we will at a
.time not very, far distant face a short
i ase of material, which will mean closing
i many mill and necessarily hieto priced
building material This Is reason enough
for one to be interested, and a g-ood one
( why the federal government and states
I should make proper provision for a fu
'ture crop of timber.
- LIFTS TAX BCBDEN
V (But it must be remembered, too, that
in i Oregon are millions of acres , that
If kept In timber will help share the
burden of taxation, whereas If tn brush
they will constitute more of a burden
than otherwise. Good State policy de-
t mends that every acre of our. land be
put to its best use. To teach' this we
'maintain a State Agricultural college.
..Counties have -their agricultural agents
i and the federal government a great de
partment of agriculture.
:N agricultural state can be truly
prosperous unless its lands-are properly
.used. and no forested state permanently
prospers unless Its forest lands are kept
In a state of productivenesa
1 To bring about desired results Is hot,
'however, as easy as it would seem at
f trst glance. A forest crop takes. from
110 to ISO years to mature. Few private
owners are attracted by such a -long
time Investment and rightly so, when
the risk of destruction by fire is con
sidered. If a crop pest threatens to
wipe out an agricultural crop the states
'and government take most drastia ac
tion to eradicate-, the trouble, for It is
known that farmers wont" try to raise
' a partloular kind of food required by
the nation if their efforts are pretty
avre to result In failure. The nation
'needs the food and it becomes good
public policy to expend public funds
to insure the farmer against loss if
to grows this particular crop. ' ;

" The same thing is true of a forest
rop. Until the states and government
can give reasonable assurance that the
young timber won't be destroyed by for
'est , fires, it cannot be expected that
growing ef timber crops will. be attrac
tive to land owners generally ' " .

aldered that Oregon has more" timber
than any state in the union and that
many states. are yearly expending five
la ten times as much in forest protec

people of Oregon demanded greater state

V Private owners the past season ex

OOT. LOWDKX OAJT
GOVERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN
By O. Oosld Lincoln
(OaejrrfchV 1S20. by The Wuhinctoa Str)
rpHB late Senator Nelson W. Aldrlch
A "started something" when he said the
executive departments of the federal
government could be run for S3OO.0OO.00O
less annually. Hs made the remark 10
years ago. Ever since, when a member
of congress desired to lay emphasis on
the need for economy and more busi
nesslike management of the government,
he -has referred to this historic remark
of the Rhode Island senator. Sut no one
has ever finished what Mr. Aldrlch
started. In fact, the high cost ot- gov
ernment has Increased - by leap and
bounds In the last decade.
STow comes Illinois, claiming to have
a Moses to lead the government to this
promised land of economy Governor
Frank Orren Lowden. The Illinois Re
publicans In large numbers are bent on
putting him in the White House. They
say that the governor, although the war
was at an end and war prices prevailed.
out the cost of government in Illinois
to such an extent the first year he was
chief executive of the state that $1,710.-
176 or unexpended appropriations re
mained at the close of the year. Under
his administration, also the tax rate
was reduoed from 80 to 75 cents on the
$100 taxable valuation. It is estimated
that this has meant a saving to the tax
payers of approximately $7,000,000.
If Governor Lowden can do this " for
one of the greatest states in the union,"
said Represen tatlve McKensie, who hails
from the governor's own district, "why
can't he do It for the United States?"
fiECOBS FOB XC090MT '
This question was something of a poser
to me, so I did not answer it I only
know that no president we have had in
recent years has been able to reduce the
government's expenses. To Judge from
the estimates submitted by the heads of
the execuUve departments this year, ag
gregating some $5,000,000,000, they at
least show that economy is not on their
program. How they must shudder when
the Lowden shadow hangs over them!
The story they tell of Governor Low-
den's efforts at economy in state govern
ment Is interesting, when he went into
office, January S. 1917. he found 125
commissions, boards and bureaus In full
operation. , He got a law through the
legislature authorising the consolidation
of these government agencies, and they
were consolidated so that there are now
nine major departments A great
amount of duplication of work was elim
inated, by the consolidations The new
law also provided for the establishment
of a budget system, and the presenta
tion of a budget by the governor to the
legislature. Through the operation of
this budget system and the elimination
of useless cogs In the governmental ma
chinery It has been possible to reduce
expenses and in turn to reduce the-tax
burden in Illinois.
805 OF BLACKSMITH
But to return to presidential possibil
ity No. 6 V. O. Lrftwden. He was born
69 years ago In Sunrise, Minn. - This
is a great year for the blacksmiths.
It appears that at least two of the men
mentioned for president are the sons
of village blacksmiths Herbert Hoover
and Governor Lowden. The la tier's
father was Lorenzo Lowden. Three
years prior to the birth of Frank Low
den his . parents had migrated from
Pennsylvania to Minnesota. .
The lowden family's travels did hot
Stop there, however, and when Frank
was 7 year old he trudged behind his
father's prairie schooner from Sunrise,
Minn-, to Hardin county, Iowa, where
a new cabin was erected. . Lorenso Low
den went to farming and his son helped
him. Working oo a frontier farm did
not leave young Lowden. much time to
study and' attend school, but he had
Improved, his opportunities so well that
when he was 16 years old he obtained
appointment as teacher in a country
school and held the' Job for five years.
When he was 20 he had managed to
save enough money to enter the Univer
sity of Iowa. His money ran out. He
was forced to get another school. While
he was teaching he was studying so that
he. was able to keep .up in bis courses
at , the university, and eventually he was
graduated at the head of his class. Lead
ing his class seems to have "become a
habit, for when he wtudled law at the
Union .College -of law, now Northwest
ern, he took the first prize for scholar
shipbesides completing a two year
course In one. He worked as a law
clerk in Chicago at the nam time, earn
ing $ a week. : He was graduated i In
law in 1887, and that' same year he was
examined for admission to the bar in
the First Illinois district and passed
ahead- of all who took the examination
a the Same time. . ,
SUCCEEDS AJf-LAWTE
'Young Mr.. Lowden. esq., decided to
remain In Chicago, and practice law.
He worked hard nothing new for him.
His rise In the profession was rapid.
He did not give much, attention to trial
cases, but specialised oa the business
side. He became .known as an expert
in, drafting articles of organisation for
business concerns ' which would . avoid
any Infringement of the law. He per

fee ted the articles of organisation of
the American Radiator, company, the
National Biscuit company and other
concerns. He showed himself, his friends
say. a good business man as well as a
good lawyer.
He was recognised as one of Chicago's
successful lawyers when he married Miss
Florence Pullman, daughter if George
M. Pullman of Pullman Car company
fame. They were married In 189. Mra
Lowden Is said to have inherited some
nine or ten millions of dollars from her
father. It is nearly 10 years now since
Governor Lowden gave over the active
practice of law and turned his attention
to farming and looking after his busi
ness interest.
Mr.' Lowden became Interested in pol
itics. He campaigned in 100 for Wll-t
Ham McKlnley. running for president.
President McKinley later offered him
a high office in Washington, but Mr.
Lowden refused, desiring to continue
his legal practice. In 1S03 he was a
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor of Illinois, but was defeated by
Charles S. Deneen after a strenuous
campaign and a convention lasting 81
days. Deneen was elected on the seventy-ninth
ballot by a combination of
the Yates and Deneen forces. His next
political move was to run for congress
from the Thirteenth Illinois district in
1906. He was elected and served two
terms in Washington. ' From 1904 to
19U he served as Republican national
committeeman for Illinois. He was
elected governor in 1116 for a four year
term.
BACK TO" THE FARM
Remembering his early training on an
Iowa farm, Mr. Lowden determined to
go "beck to the farm." In 1900 he pur
chased a farm In the Rock River valley,
near the town of Oregon, I1L There he
built a handsome home, into which he
moved his family. Many men of wealth
have taken up farming as a pastime and

they have sunk thousands of dollars in
their farms. The case ot Governor Low
den, however. Is somewhat different, and
his friends say that he has operated his
farm successfully and made it pay. He

which about 800 are' under cultivation.

Besides being a school teacher, a
farmer and a lawyer, Governor Lowden
has the title of "colonel." He was elect
ed in 1891 lieutenant colonel of the First
regiment, Illinois National Guard. His
friends declare that his record as a war
governor the last three years has been
notable.- Illinois, In : view of Its large
forelgn-born-sPopulaUon, was considered
a -hotbed" by the authorities at Wash
ington. But the situation - was well
handled, and thousands upon thousands
of soldiers were turned out by the state
to fight the kaiser, j Governor Lowden
appointed a state council ot national de
gense, that worked with great effect. In
cidentally, it may be said that Governor
Lowden has an eye for a man as well

Perhaps because he is a farmer Gov
ernor Lowden took a particular interest
In the good roads Question after he was
inaugurated. He recommended that a
$60,000,000 bond Issue be made by the
state to build 4800 miles of roada His
plan is to have both the principal and
interest on the bonds paid out of fees re
ceived from automobile licenses. This
suggestion wis approved by the legisla
ture, and by the people at -the 191 elec
tion. Another measure he put through
during his governorship places all pri
vate banks under Stats supervision.
During his eervkje in congress Gov
ernor Lowden was not conspicuous, al
though he did ' considerable work and
made several speeches ot interest, par
ticularly one advocating -publicity In con
nection With the big Industries of the
country. Governor Lowden makes a
good speech. -He has a lucid way of
setting forth a proposition. He has a
reputation for keeping his head In times
of excitement. Genial, approachable, he
has a wide circle ot friends and ac
quaintances. FOCB TIMES FATHER
Governor; Lowden is vigorous .physi
cally, standing about five feet eight
inches, and broad in proportion. His
hair is iron gray. His recreation is
taken in the open, tramping or riding
about his farm, or in his .library, where
he Is a great reader and student. He is
an apt classical scholar. As a boy he
was fond of outdoor games, running,
wrestling and swimming. He nearly lost
his life at an early age when be dove

was back in Sunrise, Minn.: And the Old

Governor and -Mrs. Lowden have four
children a boy and three girls. The
boy. Pullman Lowden,' served In the
Prairie division in Europe during the
war with Germany. The girls are Flor

Senator Sherman of Illinois is sponsor
for the statement that Governor Low

But when they returned to the hotel atfer

me, "Is that the traveling man repre

comfortable room, while Lowden and I
occupied a hole In the wall, where' you'
had to stick your head out of the wlnJ

he must be a good -salesman if he had

The women in Illinois feel that they

the resolution submitting the- suffrage

states was passed by oengres Governor
Lowden sent a message, to the Illinois
legislature urging ratification, . And Il

an eight-hour workday for women. He
