LAST NATURAL FORESTS ;
While the United States and House
of Representatives are locking horns
over a tariff scale on lumber and soft
woods, Richard Lieber, director of the
department of conservation for the
state of Indiana draws attention to
the fact that last stands of merchant
able natural forests are those in the
Pacific Northwest, and that within
. the next three or four decades this
great store of nature will have al
most entirely disappeared. "The
lumbering wave," says Lieber,
"swept down from the New England
States to New York and Pennsyl
vania, then northwest through the
Lake States, and onward through the
Central States and into the great
cypress and pine forests of the South.
Today the great virgin forests are
making their last stand in the Pa
cific Northwest. One cannot con
demn the use of the forest products
for they have gone into homes, trans
portation, industry, warmth and even
art and beauty. We do stand, how
ever, guilty before present and un
born generations for the destruction
of the recurring possibilities of for
estry and agriculture upon the lands
we have laid waste. Why are there
millions of acres of potential forest
land in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Pennsylvania standing as
idle as barren - deserts? This land
once supported heavy stands of tim
ber stocked with all sorts of game
and wild life. The answer is human
carelessness. Where once grew
magnificent trees we find forest fires
have robbed the next generation of
that wood supply which means so
much to us. There fires have taken
away time after time the soil cover
and fertility needed to sustain new
growth. Over vast areas ft will be
two centuries before this humus can
-be rebuilt by successive types of
smaller vegetation to the point where
the land will again sustain a forest
stand. Why are the small woodlots
which are so precious to every farm
through the agricultural states like
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio neglected
and ignored both by the landowner
and the agricultural leader as a po
tential crop and therefore a part of
farm management? "The answe." is
lack of vision which permits grazing
animals to eat up the young trees on
the forest floor so necessary to per
petuate species and link one crop of
timber with the next one. While
busily engaged in building up the
quality through careful selcct'cn.and
breeding and by eliminating the
"boarder" individual, we have been
permitting the lumber man to haul
away only the best timber, leaving
the cull and overmature tre to oc
cupy the site and perpetuate their
own inferior kind."

A warehouseman's obligation of
ordinary care cannot be signed away
by contract no matter what com
modity may be stored on his prem
ises is the important conclusion of
a recent supreme court decision in
New Jersey. The question arose
over the loss of 16,000 baskets of
peaches in a warehouse in which the
temperature had not been sufficiently
reduced on account of some mechan
ical difficulty. The warehouseman's
contract had attempted to avoid such
responsibility by providing that he
"shall not be responsible for failure
to maintain any given temperature
unless same is caused by its negli
gence," but the court held that "the
defendant was charged with ordliwy
care for the protection of the fruit,
and by ordinary care In this con
nection is meant the care that a
reasonably careful owner would ex
ercise in regard to similar property
of his own. The law Imposed that
obligation, and it could not be im
paired by any stipulation of the con
tract in pursuance of which the
peaches were stored.
Police Commissioner Whalen of
New York City has documents in his
possession showing that the cam
munist soviet at Moscow is responsl
ble for fomenting Btrikcs and riots
in this country. Whalen's investiga
tion has become so warm that Pua
elan officials whom he accuses have
come forth with declarations that
evidence the New York officer holds
against them are forgeries. Whalen
discloses that Seattle was temporary
headquarters for one "Comrade O
Graf pen," who was assigned by the
soviet executive committee to "call
in a reunion of all our general rcpre'
eentatlves which must receive mstruc
tions, literature for organization of
the first May outbreaks from you,
and sums of money from .Comrade
Sversky, who continues to be in
charge of the financial department."
Once in a while luck is on the side
of human freight when piano crashes,
as was evidenced when eight army
men survived a wreck in California
the other day. Six "caterpiilared" to

crumpled a wing. The pilot and his
mechanic stayed with the ship and
brought the craft down to an upright
landing.. As. a rule the story reads
the other way everybody dead ana

Bov criminals have increased in

crimes of major degree, in Oregon
and Washington. Two have confessed
murder, and three figure in sensation
al automobile thefts.
Interest in the primary elecf.on
