SMITH ON NATURAL FORESTS CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN ATTACKS APPALACHIAN BILL Tells House What California is Doing in Tree Planting and Water Conservation — Appalling Amount Necessary to Purchase Southern Mountain Ranges Congressman S. C. Smith of this district has favored us with a copy of his speech upon the Appalachian bill, delivered in the house March 1. We quote from his address as follows: Mr. Speaker, in my opinion this bill presents the most important and far-reaching piece of new legislation that has been presented to this congress. It not only looks to appropriations that are absolutely appalling in their magnitude, but if I am not mistaken it changes the policy of the government in a very important particular. The subject divides itself into two parts: First the conservation of water or the regulation of the stream flow; and second, the production of timber commercially. I shall not dignify the first proposition with any extended discussion, because it is so palpably a subterfuge. It has been brought into this question within the last year or so, because the honorable committees of the house and the senate, the judiciary committees, asserted that it was not within our constitutional power to embark upon this great scheme for the purpose of producing timber and selling it in the market, but that a forest cover or any other agency can hold back and regulate the run-off following such storms? Those are the storms which work to havoc and carry destruction before them in the valleys below. The diary rainstorm; such as might absorb by the forest cover, does damage and fills up no river bed. The second phase of the question brings up the question of cost. Congress has ordered two investigations of this subject. The first report brought in some five or six years ago asserted that to carry out the plan in these two localities, New England and the southern states, it would be necessary to acquire by purchase 700,000 acres of land. The price we stated at from $10 per acre downward guess we all know what happens when "Uncle Sam" goes into the market to buy land. either by demnation or by private arrangement. But taking it at $10 an acre, you have $750,000,000 as the outlay for the acquisition of the plant to begin when it has always seemed to me that the friends of this proposition, who that report came in, felt a little loss the man who inadvertently sent his petition for "a barrel of pepper that they had overdone a good thing." Thereupon congress, was appealed and in a subsequent act two years ago it authorized the secretary of agriculture to again investigate the matter, and his report stated that we would have to purchase 23,000 acres of land, at prices which, said, were substantially the same as the first ones. But there is not one line in this second report which dertakes to dispute or contradicts the first one as to the acreage acquired. shall not dignify the first proposition with any extended discussion, because it is so palpably a subterfuge. It has been brought into this question within the last year or so, because the honorable committees of the house and the senate, the judiciary committees, asserted that it was not within our constitutional power to embark upon this great scheme for the purpose of producing timber and selling it in the market, but that we must in some way tie the subject up with that of navigation. And as the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Weeks, has very properly said, they have now modified "the title of the act" so as to give it some color of reference to the subject of navigation. On the subject, however, of the regulation of stream flow, there are two matters to be considered: First, the prevention of floods due to excessive rainfall and run-off; and second, the increase of the minimum flow of the stream for the benefit of power companies already established on the lower courses of the rivers. I think no one has asserted that it is within the constitutional power of congress to appropriate vast sums of money to increase the water power of private corporations, and yet if you will consider the hearings and follow the discussion of the enthusiasts upon this question you will find them referring to the low stage of the river nine times to where they refer to the high stage once. I conclude, therefore, that there is another subterfuge in that side of the case, and that what is really desired is to improve the low stage of the rivers and to increase the amount of hydroelectric power enjoyed by the companies on the lower course of the rivers. But I said that phase of the question is so palpable a subterfuge that I refuse to discuss it at this time, further than to remark that there is the greatest difference of opinion between men who have given the subject full consideration, between the forest treatment and the meadow treatment on the mountain side for the purpose of regulating the flow, and, in my opinion, the better argument with any extended discussion, because it is so palpably a subterfuge.

I appeal to gentlemen here to apply their everyday knowledge to see if it is not true that all hillside covered with grass erodes less and holds back the rainfall more than any timber-covered hill on the face of the earth. Let it be borne in mind that those who advocate the forest treatment do not rely upon the tree growth to hold back the water in times of storm or to release the water from day to day in times of drought. They rest on the cover of detritus that falls from the trees—the layer of leaves, branches, and so forth—the very things which superinduce devastating fires. In the western forests the strictest rules apply to the collection and burning of this debris that fires may be averted. Is it wise, then for the government to buy land and raise trees to produce litter on the ground where that very accumulation may spread a fire that will in a few hours wipe out the efforts of years? It is stated in one of the reports made to congress on this subject that the rains in the Appalachian Mountains are largely torrential, a precipitation of 3 to 8 inches in a day being common. Does anyone suppose the government worn-out lands which no one wants to cultivate or develop to any productive purpose. All they evidently on the theory that forests planted by the government do need any fertility of soil. On such lands as these, remain from transportation, even from common highways, the government asked to go into the business of raising timber for future generation. Why, let me ask, should the government go into the business of raising timber at all? It is said that our lumber supply is falling behind the demand. Well, what of it? Actually the same thing is said of meat and our bread supplies. Herence was recently made on the floor to a very interesting and constructive address delivered last year in a western town, by James J. H. on the country's wheat supply. Proved as conclusively as statistics can that the time was in sight when we would be heavy importers of wheat if some change be not made. Did he argue from this that the government should begin to buy land and the very poorest land to found—and go into wheat raisht By no means. He held true to course which has made us a great people, and urged a renewal of individual enterprise under more enhanced methods. "Millions for education of 'he individual, but not percent for paternalistic ventures,'" well be the paraphrase at this time of a well known saying. Jefferson taught that "the sole function of government is to govern the people," leaving productive and other enterprises to individual effort.

It has proven a safe and sure corner stone. Shall we abandon it in this particular? There is not a single argument in favor of the govern­ment planting of forests that does not prove by the same degree that it should begin to raise cattle and wheat to meet the needs of the future. The whole doctrine is false and pernicious. As a matter of truth, the country is worse alarmed than hurt over the lumber situation. It has been asserted publicly many times that in twenty or twenty-five years our lumber will all be gone. But that is a wild prediction in the face of the figures given by the same authority that our forest areas amount to 2 acres per capita, and the transition from wood to other materials for structural and fuel purposes was never so rapid as at the present time. Brick, concrete, metal, paper, and glass compose our buildings, bridges, and fences; while gases, oils, and electricity are fast supplanting wood in the production of heat, especially for domestic purposes. The people will not go houseless nor cold if not a single tree be planted. But the people will prove themselves equal to this emergency, if one is at hand, just as they have met other important situations. They are already doing so. In California hard woods are scarce, but the people are not wringing their hands and waiting for the government to come and plant such forests for them. By no means. They are doing just that thing for themselves.

The site for this proposed monument was suggested by Powell's memorable trips down the Grand Canyon in 1869 and 1872—exploits of perilous venture that naturally appeal to men's sense of the hazardous and the heroic. The language of the act, however, recognizes the fact that Powell's more substantial achievements—his long directorship of the geological survey and his persistent championship of irrigation in the arid west when the cause of irrigation seemed hopeless — entitle him to the larger recognition due to the broad-minded scientific prophet working for great ends with courage and zeal to overcome not only popular indifference but narrow-minded opposition. Standing apart, on the edge of the mighty chasm he first explored, his monument should recall not only the venturesome daring of the explorer but the patient courage of the man of affairs who resolutely sets out, in spite of all obstacles, to achieve a great public work whose results shall endure through all time. The stones that may be heaped together at the sculptor's word on the brink of Grand Canyon will be, but one of many memorials to the man and the work, for every mighty mass of masonry that is reared in those western lands to are already doing so. In California hard woods are scarce, but the people are not wringing their hands and waiting for the government to come and plant such forests for them. By no means. They are doing just that thing for themselves.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY Former Alarmed Over Naval Armament of Latter London, March 25.—Dramatic revelation by Reginald McKenna, first lord of the admiralty, in parliament, of Germany's extraordinary development in her capacity to build big battleships rapidly, seems likely to mark a crisis in Great Britain's naval history. Mr. Balfour declared that, according to his information, Germany had laid down last year eight Dreadnaughts and that she was several months in advance of her program. If Germany continued at the same rate, he said, the relative position of the two nations in 1912 would be: Great Britain 20 Dreadnaughts, Germany 21, or if the Germans imitated Great Britain's new policy of collecting materials for armaments beforehand, Germany would have 25 Dreadnaughts. It is estimated that thirteen German Dreadnaughts and four invinci- the westerly line of Building Lot thirty-three and thirty-seven, 363 feet to the northwest corner of Building thirty-three, thence in an eastern section along the northerly line of ing Lot thirty-three, 131.45 feet, southerly, and parallel with the early line of Building Lot thirty-181.5 feet to a point in the no line of Building Lot thirty-seven, easterly along the northerly line of Building Lot thirty-seven, 181.5 feet to a point in the southerly line of Building Lot seventy-seven, thence westerly along southerly line of Building Lot seven, 182.25 feet to the point ginning, excepting therefrom the hereinbefore described as the law be taken for opening and extending alley.
