At this time when there is a great demand that taxes be further reduced, such a plan will not meet with approval from any great part of the American public.

CRANDALL, Cashier JS5r'eir: The forest movement is growing in America and deservedly Less than a generation ago it seemed that our forests were to pass entirely out of existence and thiat we would become a treeless nation. Then the conservationists began to raise their voices and following this the moves for the preservationof our forests and for the reforesting of waste places was put under way. Today, as the average tourist well knows, the national government is developing forests in all parts of the country and the state governments are following suit, by developing state parks, a number of which include state forests. All of this aB it should be. We need the forests because we will always need wood for certain purposes and cannot afford to . depend on importation altogether.-- Then we need the forests from There the ethical side of life, too. js nothing more restful than great forest, nothing whichtends to give man greater confidence in the wisdom of his Creator. A trip through a magnificent forest is as good as a .sermon.' We need the trees and every good citizen should give .the forestry movement all possible assistance. C. E V.-Pre- s. PETERSON, E. V.

The free traders like to tell us that by repealing our tariff aws we can reduce the cost of living and reduce taxes at the ame time. Well the theory that the protective tariff increases When the pres-n- t he cost pf living has been pretty well exploded. tariff law was enacted a few years ago all sorts of dire things We were told that the cost of clothing and cloth vere predicted. vould go "out of sight" and that the prices of other commodities vould soar. But the results have not borne out the predictions -- the free traders. Wages have indeed advanced during the ast few years but the cost of living has actually been reduced. ITiis has been because of the trefendous American production, vhich has been fade possible by the great American market which ibsorbs the greatest part of our produce. And the great Ameri-:a- n market has been kept for the American producer by the !$ tariff. H Now if the tariff has not increased the cost of living it logically follows that reducing the tariff would not permanently cut he cost of living. Indeed it is more likely than when the foreign iroducers once got control of the market they would charge us vhat they pleased. We know something about this from our with coffee, rubber and other commodities which we cannot produce for ourselves. Nor can it be logically maintained that reducing the tariff vould reduce taxes. We get now through our protective tariff a ?reat part of the revenues for the expenses of our government.
