(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.

EXTENSION OF
FOREST LANDS
IS Dl
Washington, D. 0., Apr. 21 Exten
sion of public forest ownership
and public forest administration
Is necessary In developing a wise
forest policy in the United States,
Secretary Wallaoa dclared in
supporting tho McNary-Clarke
forestry bill at a hearing before
the Senate committee on agricul
ture. 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

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
