CIIELEY , 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 II jN, - I ntmitti contort;n f I -- CLUB m wit - i:.; Quite frequently someone calls attention to the danger of re presentative government caused by the fact that every year an in creasing number of Americans are staying away from the polls. President Coolidge himslef pointed out his peril in his recent address to the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is often remarked, too that the citizeq who. doesnt vote in nine cases out of ten is conservatively inclined citizen, whether he be Republican or Dem ocrat. It might be suggested, therefore that there is another reason for this lack of interest in voting than mere laziness on the part of the average citizen. In each succeeding election nowadays the percent age of those voting to the whole number eligable seems to grow less One reason for this which is not often dwelt upon is that, when it comes-t- o voting, the average citizen is getting too much of a gooc and thing, nothing palls on most Americans more than this. In the good old days we went to the polls once every two years to vote, and that was about all there was to it. But now we have two or three elections nearly every year, and worst of all dog and cat" squabble preceding each one. Instead of the biennia election to express the will of the people, this present year starts of with senatorial and state primaries, local primaries and all sorts o primaries lasting from early spring until the first of October. Anc in a good many communities on bond issues and various other re ferendum ideas. No wonder then that by the time the regular el ection rolls around a lot of people will Be too weary with it all to For there is nothing quite so disgusting as a primary go and vote. which tends to be disgusting. Then next year there will be city and state elections in some of the states, to say nothing of more referendums, and these will last untill it is time for the presidential primaries to open up again. This is all quite different form the old days when the people voted in November on the candidates selected, in convention anc left the selection of the United States senators to the state legisla Aures. Of course, once in a while there was some anguish over the result of the state convention, but no convention unrest ever lastec as long as the mildest primary does nowadays. For a long time the cry has been let the pepple rule," taking the authority away from the delegated meetings and giving it voters direct. But the way they are failing to come out to vot might indicate that the people are getting tired of ruling. Perhap: the best way to whet their appetites would be, not to pass a law com pelling them to vote, but to abolish a lot of useless primary cam paigns, so making the general election a pleasing novelty again. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Alibi Dad investigate lawlessness in Chicago.

TAXATION GOVERNS FUTURE FORESTS Forty years ago President Cleveland admonished the nation to pause and consider the future of its timber. Every President since then has had something to say about preserving the forests. If the forests were suddenly wiped out, our land would be uninhabitable, no substitution can be made for the forests. Vegetation and timber growth are essentiail to .the storage of water. They hold moisture in a natural reservoir and allow it to run off gradually. Thus, they prevent periodical floods and dry periods. It is essential that our watersheds be protected not alone by sane and economic logg'ng practices, but also by a well developed and farsighted planting program, says the Aberdeen, Washington, Daily World." Cutover lands must be replenished and protected. Fire destroys the young growth, and burns out the natural elements in the soil which are necessary to growing trees and vegetation. The burden of taxation causes many timberland owners to cut forests which they would rather hold but if they held them under present tax laws their value would be confiscated in tax payments. Also, many owners of cutover land would like to hold it with young growing trees on it, or replant it; but with heavy taxes 'this is impossible, for its entire value is wiped out in tax payments. For this reason it is imperative that a taxation method be worked out, which permits a tax payment when the timber is marketed, and not continously while it is growing. Jl I Flour! Flour!!
