INDISPUTIBIE TESTIMONY
"I have visited and studied every fruit region in the
United States, southern Canada and northern Mexico as
-well as traveled extensively through the fruit regions of
Europe. I can truthfully say that nowhere are natural
conditions as perfect for growing apples and pears as m
the Rogue River valley, which I think is the finest fruit
belt in the world," stated Professor J . u uara, entoinui-
kaiser, public land and resorves, and laid down unreason
able regulations for local officers to follow.
There is lio reason why genuine conservation should
perish because of Pinchot 's removal. There is no reason
why there should not be a scientific cutting of the forest
with the consideration of the future as well as the present,
as this is to the interest of the tiinborinan. Scientific re
planting of denuded forest land will accomplish many of
the aims sought in the forest reserve policy, where large
tracts of land are arbitrarily withheld from settlement and
development. But the west cannot develop unless its
forests, mines and water power are utilized'
eminent will never utilize them.

THE APPLE AS A CURE-ALL.
One of New York's commission firms, which for a good
and sufficient reason has been blacklisted by Rogue River
valley growei's. has been breaking into print wherever it
could, denouncing the valley and its product and extolling
those of California, where they secured several hundred
carloads of Newtown Pippins.

The nurchaser of land in the Rogue River valley in
the long run cannot lose buying at present prices. Not only
i i i i i J J !
will tne orcnaras nay a nign rare or interest on any pneu
yet asked, but there is the speculative element of a con
stantly increasing valuation, owing to a constantly increas
ing demand, which as the years go by will constantly ap
preciate property, for the valley is still in the infancy of
its development.
TAFT AND PINCHOT.
President Taft in a recent statement at Washington
made a declaration of independence in which he stated
that he did not care whether he received a second term
or not; that he was not working for it, but that he would
do his best to make a good executive and pass such laws
as he could with the means at his command. He could not
break with the party leaders, such as Aldrich and Can
non, for that would leave him without a party and without
a party he could accomplish nothing. He stated in effect,
though, that he would be president.
There seems to be little doubt but that President Taft
has been a disappointment to a large element in his own
party, but it will undoubtedly follow, especially if he ful
fills his platform pledges, that there will be a reaction in
his favor just as there always is in favor of every public
man who ie strong enough to live up to his honest belief,
no matter what those beliefs are, and do the best he can.
"The dismissal of Pinchot created a storm of protest, but
Pinchot's latest actions seem to justify the dismissal. He
is stated to consider himself a presidential candidate,
which will confirm in many minds the impression that
Pinchot is suffering from a bad case of swell head. At any
rate, the dismissal was self-invited.
Pinchot was ono of Roosevelt's kitchen cabinet and in
his position was able to over-ride his superiors, and carry
out his policies without consulting them. Ballinger, his
superior, changed all of this, so it has not been surprising
to see Pinchot unable to adjust himself to the new condi
tion, and deliberately provoke his official decapitation by
iefianco of executive orders.
Pinchot is a crank on forestry, and deemed the needs
of future generations more important than the needs of the
present. There can bo a genuine conservation of resources
without crippling the development of western states, yet
in Pinchot 'a mind the development of the country was
a secondary consideration. Ho bound around with red
tape and officialism after the manner of his model, the
individuals of the community. Manv of the busiest and
ablest men have freely devoted their time and energy in I ?
the club's interest, which are those of the public. "Without jto
their co-operation success would have been impossible.
Citizens of Medford and of the Rogue River valley owe
it to themselves to become members of the club and to take
an active part in its proceedings. Its work is for all, and
all should co-operate. Its membership should be a thou
sand instead of its present number, and it is hoped that ev
eryone who has the interests of this section at' heart, not
now a member, will send his name in to the secretary. No
special invitation is required, but everyone is requested to
join, and the sooner the better.
