ECTRIC.amCQ. lOREST BATiLE RAGES FIERCELY STRUGGLE FOR CONSERVATION OF TIMBER IS LIVELY AS EVER IN CONGRESS. MEANWHILE TREES VANISH United States Is Consuming Them Nearly Four and 'a Half Times as Fast as They Are Growing, Says Secretary Wallace. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.-It was a long while ago, as time'ordinarily Is coptnted by a fleeting generation, that- TiTeodore Roosevelt called the governors of the states together in the east room of the White House to consider ways and means to conserve the natural re sources of the country. Some good came out of the conference. The con servation fight, however, is on just as strong today in congress as ever it was. You can hear anything you want to in Washington on this subject. Men will tell you that the conservationists are persons who want to save every thing there is, simply for the purpose of looking at it and giving the people a chance to admire Its beauty. Other persons will tell you that the preda tory interests are bent on getting rich quick by using up everythin g that na ture has provided for man, and allow ing posterity to go hang. There is a middle ground somewhere, but the thing is to find it. Once on a time, not so very long ago, two men, one of whom reached the eminence of second officer of gov ernment and the other the eminence of third offlcer of government, de clared in public speech that there was no necessity of trying to save any thing-thait posterity could pull down out of the air everything that was needed for its comfort, its safety and its progress. That these two men made this statement is a literal truth. One of them did not hear the last of it until he (lied, and the other at an advanced age is still hearing about It. Trying to Save the Forests. Just now there is a movement in Washington to secure the transfer of the bureau of forestry frpnm the Depart ment of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior. The proponents of the plait say that if the change Is made the forests will be saved, and the opponents say that if the change is made the forests will disappear. Take your choice. A country without a tree is a pretty poor country. The hope of people who can see not only utility but beauty' in the branches of a drooping elm, is that whether the forestry bureau is left where it is or moved elsewhere, elms will continue to grow, and with them oaks, pine, basswood, ash, .and all t~he other forest growths. .. Some statements have been made re cently by Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture, and they are somewhat startling. They prob ably will be met by counter state. ments. Then the -counter statements must be read, digested, and compared with the original statements for the1 purpose of arriving. at something like the truth. In an article by 0. Gould Lincoln of Washington, Secretary Wal lace is quoted as saying this: "The United States is now consum ing wood nearly four and a half times as fast as it is being grown. We are steadily eating up what is left of our forest capital. .As a result the coun try nowv faces the definite prospect of a growing scarcity and increasing cost of everything made from wood. It is a problem which In the long run af fects every class of American citizen. It affects the manufacturer, the home, builder, and the farmer to an almost equal degree.". 'iimber is Going Fast. The country is told that the remain ing forests of the United States are being cut at the rate of about 5,000, 000 acres annually, and from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 acres are being burned each year by forest fires. ,It is said that 01 per cent of the tim ber left is wvest of the Rocky mnoun tains. The secretary of agriculture points out that four-Qfths of the pop ulation, four-fifths of American agri culture, .and ,nine-tegths of A merlean manufacturers are east of the Rock ies. In the meantime tho assertion is made that the rates for bringing lum ber to the ~markets have increased steadily, that two-thirds of the lunmber users of the country today pay mere per thousand 'feet in lumber frdight alone than they paid for the delivered commnodity 30- years ago. A tree has a - good deal to answer for. As a matter of fact, it basically was responsible for the notorious, if that is the word, Ballinger-Pinchot controversy of 'ie days of the Taft administration.
