A lament" aroso In Maine some time Hlnce over the' greedy shearing off of picturesque wood landa for Immediate pain, to (he Rreat detriment of Rroater and more permanent vaiu?fl. There were some at least who saw? with whom no higher motives were dominant? that to destroy ruthlessly the scenlo ?harm In the landscape was really to reduce the revenues from the city and s immer boarder. And in Maine, as well an in other parts of New lOngland, the millions of dollars that come from en tertaining the urban and summer contin gent constitute In rural neighborhoods by far their most Important Income. As the habit now Is, whole acres are wastefnUy shorn, without a break, under the lumberman's ax, with the same Intel ligent and causeless destruction that would happen to a fish pond If nets were laid so as to exterminate the small and the large fry totally, and without thought for the future. This Is emphatically kill ing the goose that lays tjie golden egg; and the forest farmer aiHl .lumberman must somehow bo made to see it. The forestry commission propdsep that the State exorcise freely the right or emi nent domain In the creation of forest pre. serves. In no other way can there be uni ty and ofllclency of action. The diversified owners, and even the communities most dlroctly affected cannot, when the right sentiment Is In tho majority, exert an effectual Influence to make tree-cutting reasonable and harmless. Hut If the State demands this It can make the White Mountain forests "a source of constant Income, unfailing water supply and per petual scenlo pleasure." This Is a plea that may well go further than through Now Hampshire. There Is not n (Government park In the far West,, and hardly a spot in the Adlrondacks, which Is In quite close enough custody today, after all that has been suggested and done to save them. As to the bits of scenery and rare groves which no law surrounds, what constant and needless (I spollment of them we see everywhere? On how many country roads a few casual and ancient trees add, of themselves, an Innytlmnble and haunting charm to the whole landscape I And yet who has not seen, at the Instance of a single owner, often, In two days' time, a raid upon these precious landmarks which neither a new planting >?or Mm?
