(Medford Mall-Tribune) Practically all political experts st em agreed that a Third Iarty in tne presidential race will mean a Demo cratic victory. To support this view there Is the result in Ilil.', wnen Roosevelt was s close second and Taft a noor third. There ia also the fjet that the Democrats always start with a more or less soua aouto ana the Third Tarty eplita the northern support. But such predictions fall to appre ciate the chants In political condi tions since 1012. snd particularly the difference between a Third party led by man like Senator LaFollette. Today there is only one renly line of political cleavage uie line Be tween conservatives and liberals, or If one prefers between standpatters and radicals. Now if McAdoo Bhonld be the dem ocratic nominee, Coolldge the Repuh; licnn nominee and LaFollette the Third Party nominee, how would these two main political divisions be affected ? e The answer seems to us, fairly plsln. The radical-liberal vote would ne divided between AlcAdoo and l-ia Follette, the conservntive-stnndpnt vote would go solidly for Coolidge. The result then would depend on the size of the combined rntlical vote. and in this determination of course, one man's guess is about SB good as mother's. But that the result would be nothr me- like the result in 1!)16 In certain. Tho Third Party would certainly cut little more imposing a flauro than the (). O. P. regulnra In 101(1, and the real race would be between President Coolldge and McAdoo. . Tlio tinnl outcome would depend unon whether the country at the present time is conservative or rodl col. in its dominant political spirit. Here again prediction is limited to mere conjecture, but there ar at linst more si.-rfnce Indications snp norting tho former view than tho lat ter. So in snite of the political experts we see no reason for the Republican stalwarts to view a Third Party movement with such alarm. At the present writing there Is even reason to believe n Third Party, led by La Follette might prevent a Republican defeot.

Tbe bill provides for the protection of forest lands, for the reforestation of denuded areas, and for the extension of national forests. Publloly Owned Forests Essential European countries that have made progress in forestry have found, said the secretary, that a core of publicly owned forests is required as a basis for an effi cient national forest policy, and for the promotion of the produc lva una nf forest land as a whole. Ho urged the adoption of a simil ar no cv n the United stales, Four-fifths' of the forest land in the United States is now in pri vate ownership, tho Secretary pointed out This fact Indicates the need for prompt action In conserving and extending public forest resources. Should Add Other Publlo Lands. All political units, -states, ann municipalities, as well as the na tional government, should co operate In a movement to extend public forest ownersmp ana pud lio forest administration. Secretary Wallace told the committee. He urged the addition to the national forests of unreserved publlo lands which are chiefly valuable for the production of timber or the pro tection of stream flow. More than ten and a half million acres of such land ia now owned by the Government, but it Is not pro tected or administered In such a wny as to conserve timber re sources. The Clarke bill would Incorporate these lands in the na tional forests. Secretary Wallace also recom mended thnt the national forests should be extended to cover such parts of our military and other reservations as are suitable for timber growing. He suggested that funds should be appropriated tor the purchase of forest lands on the watersheds of navigable streams. Reforestation of private lands should be encouraged, the secre tary declared. Most of our forest land, he said, must remain in private ownership no matter how rapidly forest ownership la ex tended. He said that an adequate national policy must provide for the steady production of timber on the largest possible acreage of privately-owned timber land. Com. merelal motives, he observed, are slowly making timber growing a business enterprise, hut the move ment will lag behind national needs unless it is aided by public cooperation. One of the most effective ways to promote timber growth, the secretary Bald, 1b by preventing forest fires. He pointed out that at least . 166,000,001) acres of for est land have no fire protection whatever, on other enormous areas the present -protection 1b Inadequate. Average annual loss from forest fires In the last six yeara ia a burned area of 7.000.000 acres, and in some years the dam- ago has been much greater. In the Clarke bill provision Is made for expanding the policy initiated under tha Weeks law for federal cooperation with tha states in rorest-flre protection. Secretary Wallace Indorsed the plan, which hs said would put cooperative forest protection on a much broad er and better footing. Many Ways To Foster Industry 'mere are many other ways whereby public action can promote growing of timber on private lands. Secretary Wallace said. Among them he mentioned re search In timber culture, in which Can You SGUSSED I .

Fire caught in the moss-covered roof of Mt8. Hanover's house at Sixth and Willamette streets today but fire men extinguished the flames before he said the federal government should lead by establishing forest experiment stations; and the more economical and efficient UBe of timber. Experts in the forest service, he eaid, believe that economics in the use of timber are possible which would reduce the annual drain on our forests by not less thnn 10 per cent, without cutting down the quantity of forest products available for consumption. The secretary strongly approved provisions in the Clarke bill for federal co operation with the states In grow ing and distributing forest-planting material. Forest planting, he aald, is now seriously limited by lack of nursery stock. It is esti mated, Bald the secretary, that there are from forty to fifty mil lion acres of land in the country which should be producing forest crops, but. which need planting. The United States has a forest problem, said the secretary, be cause it falls to use effectively its enormous areas of land available for the production of timber. Depletion of virgin forests has gone so far that only about 40 per cent of the original Btand of timber tn the country remains. From 822,000,000 acres; our virgin forest area has been reduced to 138,000,000 acres. There are about 250,000,000 acres more which are partly stocked and culled with second-growth timber, and about 81,000,000 acres of practically bar en cut-over and burned land. No nevf growth of wood has adequate ly taken the place of the virgin timber that has been removed. We are consuming timber, said the secretary, about four times as fast as it is being replaced. It timber 1b to be had in the fu ture, he declared, it must be pro duced as a staple crop on land suited to that purpose. Timber growing, the Secretary said, is a part of agriculture. He said farmers will be greatly ben efited by the production of a val uable crop on land that would otherwise lie idle, and progress will be made toward meeting the present nnsatlBfied demand for lumber. The high cost of lumber Is In part responsible for the shortage of housing, and for the lack of good buildings on many farms. This condition, the secre tary said, is bound to become worse aa remaining virgin forests are cut down. There Is only one remedy, he declared, and that is general reforestation. The situa tion is so bad that nothing can prevent an acute shortage of tim ber for some time, and refores Beat It! BLS Nvi's A. Try r-gr rv they did much damage. Contain and Sirs.
