PRE5ERVE THE TIMBER
The Forest Service of the Uoiteo.
States informs The Examiner that
holding that the legislature bas a
constitutional right to pass laws
regulating the cutting of timber on
private lands, if the cutting is liable
to be detrimental to tbe public wel
lare, tbe judges of tbe Maine Supreme
Court banded down an opinion of
great importance to tbe owners of
forest land in tbat state, and of inter
est to land owners in all parts of tbe
country.
Tbe opinion refers particularly to
Cutting of small timber which should
be left growing to give a forest cover
which will conserve the water and
lessen flood ravages and prevent or
diminish soil erosion and consequent
filling up of tbe rivers and lakes. The
judges specitlcaSIy state that regula
tions of tbat kind cannot be constru
ed as tbe taking of private property
for public use, and that tbe state need
not pay for young growth which it
may forbid tbe owner to cut
This was not a court decision, for
do case waS'before tbe court for re
view, but was a forma) opinion prepar
ed at the request of tbe senate for tbe
guidance of tbe legislatme in tbe
enactment of laws to tegulate forests
and protect tbe interests of tbe pub
lic Similar questions have come up
in other states and may be expected
to come up in tbe future.
In tbe proposition which the Maine
senate submitted to tbe judges for
their opinion it was stipulated tbat
a law should not be enacted which
would interfere with clearing land for
agricultural, mining or roauufaactur
ing purposes, or for building sites,
or pleasure grounds. The purpose
is to forbid total stripping ot forest
land where a forest cover is necessary
to prevent the wash" of the soil, the
lessening of flood rvaf.ee, aod tbe
mitigation of droucht, and where tbe!
ry la to state our beliefs or opinions
without mtterness, and let it go ou
ucb basis. If approved, well and
good; and. If otherwise, a clear cons
cience will at least give Its appioval
of aucb course.
Our eyes, however, are fixed upon
tbe future. We believe, honestly,
tbat there are great things in store for
all of Lake County, and In tbe earnest
exploitation of tbe diversified Inter
ests Of tbe whole county will oor
energies be entirely devoted.
Tbe Leader truly says tbat all of
Lake county does not centet at Lake
view, "but tbat it embraces a large
area of territory peopled with as good
aod true men and women at tbe sun
ever sbone down upon." Judging
from those we have met so far from
all parts of tbe country, we can and
do readily accept tbe statement of the
Leader as to tbe character ot tbe peo
ple. We also hope to be able soon to
accept tbe very kiud inritation of the
editor of tbe Leader to be "our guide,
philosopher and friend" In making
tbe acquaintance of the good pecple
of Silver Lake, Paisley, Summer aod
Christmas Lake valleys.
Tbe Examiner bas beard much good
of tbe resources of otber parts of this
county, and as it is tbe representative
paper of tbe entire county, will sure
ly devote its energies towards develop
ment of every section. But, In order
to do all justice vve must have tbe
aid and assistance of the people of toe
entire county. We wish particularly
to receive all tbe local doings of inter
est from each of tbe valleys. We want
the news of all new arrivals and the
object of their coming : the improve
ments going on of every sort; facts
about tbe stock interests ; tbe rainfall ;
tbe crops, conditions, yields of grain,
fruit, mention of tbe marriages,
births, deaths; accidents; news of tbe
mines;! goings and comings, and tbe
like. We do not want to slight any
neighborhood, and if friends of Tbe
Examiner will take a little pains to
report such things to us, we tbink we
can make a newspaper tbat will be ot
interest to every man, woman and
child in Lake county.
Such is our aim and purpose, and
we think tbe last two issues of Tbe
Examiner are a fair sample of what
ourreaders may expect of os in the
future.
received the popular vote for United
States senator, tbe question baa
been raised as to the duty of tbe
leflslatore in tbe preiuiaea who have
slgoed Statement No.1. Tbere is
only one answer tbey should live
up to tbelr obligations and vote for
tbe people's ohoive. Not only la this
course neceaaary to vindicate their
integrity an men, but to maintain tbe
principle of electing United Htatwa
senators by tbe direct vote of tbe
people.
, "While it is generally admitted
tbat United States senators should
be elected by tbe people, aod the
Constitution of the United IStates
should be amended so as to provide
for such an election, many are oppos
ed to th present system, ana tbe
obligation involved In Statement No.
1. by many sucb tbere baa been a
most deterimned effort made to de
feat tbe law by electing an unpledged
legislature or rendering It odious In
tbe eye of tbe people by electing a
democratic senator from a republican
state, but 1 believe tbat sucb a
course was a mistaken one, and tbat
sucb efforts will fail.
"Furthermore, 1 am firmly con
vinced tbat any political party Id tbe
state of Oregon will ultimately suQef
defeat onlesa it fol'y aeqoleecea in
tbe desire of the people to participate
In the (lection of fthelr 'senators aod
to bind the legislature to carry out
tbeir will, as expressed In the June
election.

date for United States Senator, is out
with a statement to tbe republican
id embers of tbe legislature who signed
Statement No. 1, advising tbemtolive
up to tbeir pledges, aud to vote for
Mr. Chamberlain.
Unquestionably, if so disposed, the
legislature could elect any one that
body could unite upon, aa the consti
tution of the. United States makes
such requirements, and that part has
not been changed. But, tbe baigan
and purchase of senatorsbips by class
interests, too notorious to ignore in
all parts of tbe Union, and especially
true in this State, bas so incensed the
TAFT IN OFFICE
In nn artkio to be published In the
current Issue of Collier's Wevkly, Sec
retary Taft sots out his concept ion of
the duties of the office. Inconcludlnn
he eulogizes Washington and Lincoln
and says:
' It remained for Uoosveltto prove
l how the people will respond to strong
true leadership when the hour has
come for great reforms. Policies
which be Inaugurated must be con
tinued and developed. They are
right and they are tbe policies of the
people. For that reusou his successor
may well disregard any charge of
lack ot originality if he does not
make an entirely new program of his
own.
"The President at this time has the
work before him clearly defined. En
forcement of law, equally against
high and low, powerful nud weak,
should be his thought. The danger
10 ourcountry of laxity orfarorltisiu
in this is the greatest oue we have to
face."
lie adds that conservation of the
national resources and their develop
ment must command his attention
and that he should aim to give u high
tone to his admit Istratlon, as Pres
ident Itoosevelt bas done by sur
rounding himself with emlueut men.

in submitting their opinion tbe
judges cited numerous examples of
legislatou restraining property hollers j
from using their property in tueti a
way as to to endanger the public wei- I
fare. A man may not erect a danger-!
oua building ou bis city lot because!
it wouiu imperii or damage ine
property of ttlei's. T'or the suaie
reason, a forest owner may Le
restrained from denuding his hillsides
to such a degre as to send down upon
the lands of his neighbor the toil
wash to cover their meadows, choke
their streams, and injure them in
tbeir rightful use atd enjoyment of
property. It was declared that there
is nothing in the constitution of the
United States or in that of the state
of -Maine prohibiting the enforcement
of a forest law of that kind.
Maine's greatest wealth is in its foi
ests dhect'y or indirectly. In sev
eral ways it bas been a pioneer in for
est legislation and rranagemeut. It
is one of the few states probably the
only Btate whose forests are nearly
holding tbeir own. Lumbering bas
gone ou tbere for a long time, aud
every year there is something ready
to cut. Tbe folly of stripping laud
and leaving it defenseless against
erosion is well understood in Maine,
and the legislature has taken tbe pre
liminary steps toward a law to compel
unwilling forest land owners to leave
enough small timber aud brush on the
ground to cover it.
WILL BOOST FOR ALL
Tne Silver Lake Leuder, published
in the uoithern part of the county,

In reply the present editor of The
Examiner will Bay that be knows
nothing of tbe past, so far as concerns
tbe politics, or the animosities there
by engendered, in the affairs of this
county. Life is too short, and time
too precious to make a practice of
picking flaws in tbe opinions of men
because of polcitical difference. We
can not all tbink alike, and the opin

took the etuatorfchip from the cIhr.hos
and restored it to the people. The'
llamiltoniau idea of centralization
of power in the hands of the fe'.v, I
was repudiated, at leapt in Xhi btate, i
and the leaven is working ho that aj
constitutional amendment covering
every state in the Lnlou sooner or j
later u ill be a reailty, which will
make such oflice elective by the
whole people, as should have been
done in the tirtt place. A parallel
case is bad in the election of govern
ors of stateH, against tbe will of
Hamilton, who wanted such Joffice
made appointive by the president.
The result, if Hamilton had bad bis
way in that matter, would In all
probability, have been as scandalous
as has been the history of tbe election
of United States senators, in not one,
but in all tbe states a mere matter of
barter and sale, to the utter defeat ot
popular or even represenative govern
ment.
The people of Oregon evidently will
have no more of it, and while tbeir
effort at reform does conflict with the
requirements of the constitution, it
is eafe to assume that any effort to
thwart their will as expressed at the
polls, will result disabtrously on the
poiltical future of any who might
dare sucb attempt.
Taking all these matters into con
sideration, the action of Mr. Cake in
calling upon bis friends to stand by
Statement No. 1 is a just recognition
of the rights of tbe people to make
their own choice. While it may, for
tbe present, hurt bis party and him
self individually, yet we can not help
believing, iu bis case, that virtue
shall have its owu.reward in tbe fut
ure. The following is the letter of Mr.
Cake as it appeared in tbe Portland
Telegram :
,"Tbe official count being complete

.Meilford went wet in t lie election,
but the heavy in Ashland and Central

the wets of Klamath Falls are mak

tory in that county.

The Portland papers have long
weilded a hammer on the pretensions
of that city as a great aeaport, by
constant reference to the Columbia
river "bar", which, thanks to the
success of the Jettlen constructed by
the government, is now a thing of
the past. San 'ranclsco has her
"Golden Gate," known the world
over, Portland now nhlpn more
grain than the latter, and the end Is
not yet, as Central and Southern Or
egon, comprising the great Inland
Empire, will soon help to hw 11 the
out-put. This being the case, why
not call the mouth of the Columbia,
"Empire Way", or "Gate", or
"Pass", and cut the bar out? Or, if
the city craves a distinction of that
sort, make it "Portland Gateway".
The world would soon learn, like the
the triU's of old, to "frame the words
so as to pronouneo It aright, la order
to gain admission therein."
