I eAv: THE ronzsr WEEK

This week, April 18 to 24 is be- ying observed throughout Canada

as "Save the Forest Week." it is catimated on good authority that 9o per cent of the forest fires in Can- ada are caused by human agency. curelc-snere or neglect which are really criminal. This 90 per cent oi’ i865 is preventable. Canada's yearly f-re losses the country ill “the

the clear remedy is care. eternal yigilaut-e and constant preaching of the gospel of carefniness.

lll lllls province of ours we have practice” noforests in the broad "sense of the word. We have valu- able grovee or timber and even

~se have been reduced very oon- siderably by fires, the grt-at major- ity of which resulted from criminal carelessness. The purpose in view in the observance of Salve» the For- rtet Week is to so train the young hint they may grow to manhood (find womanhood instlnctivelyfeel- lug that carelessness in gtartlng fires anywhere, whether endanger- illlz bttllding-s or forests, is a crime and the act oi‘ a criminal justly de- nervlng punishment. This gospel is being preached in the schools and In the homes of Canada during this week and it is believed and hoped that it will make for greater care in the handling of fires by picnic- kers, fishermen and holiday mak- crs: for it ls well known that many of our destructive forest fires have originated from this cause.

In our province of Prince Edward island our forest groves are’ rap- idly decreasing in size and num- bers. little more than ‘beauty spots in our land-scape. but as they tlecreane in size and number their value, not only ‘as beauty spots, but as tlmber and fuel, increases. We have arrived at the point where we cannot af- ford to cltt down a tree without planting another lll its place and this should invariably be done. lt is the cheapest ant-l easiest form of forest conservation adopt and the time hfls arrived when we should, adopt compulsory reforestation,

it is estimated that three quar- ters of the land surface of Canada is utrsuliflble for profitable agri- cultural cultivation and that one half of the tlncttltivahle portion ‘will yield valuable timber. '1 he ctll- tivoble portion of lll'st province is proportlonably larger than this; yet we have many acre; of lam; that could very profitably be re- forested.

The latest changes in the tarlltf tut announced says The Montreal tlazette, add matte-rial for the man- ufacture 0f motor vehicles to the articles; on which a drawback of m-stoms duties may be paid by the Government. as well as some others lf minor import There are a great many oi‘ such article's, the draw- back rarlglng from als high as 99 per cent. downward. The effect ls that solue people pay a higher rate ‘n the same class oflimported goods 'han do others. This is contrary to the spirit that should rule in national taxation, which requires that the burden should ftlll equally "in all citizen-s. it also creates dis- "rlmillatlon in another direction, Producers of logunherry wine are to receive a drawback of 09 per cent of the duty they pay on the sugar used in the process, a like provision having been made some time ago in regard to makers of grape wine. It is not presumed that the drawback in the case of loganberry users will amount to The case 1s different with other materials, ghee]. for instance. it is a large element in the produc- tion of automobiles, as of agricul- tural implements, the producenq of which are both entitled to prefer- lad treatment in regard to money paid in customs taxes on material they tlse in their works The ef- fect is to reduce the market in Canadian-mode steel, on the llntro- duction of which much depends, in a national as well as a local sense.

Be that as it may, the proposed seduction has aroused consterna- Jon among the motor manufactur- ng companies in Canada. ‘Collec-

What the prospects may be oi nducing the Government to modify ts proposals it is impossible at this writing to say, but strelltlott: efforts are being made to that end and will be continued so long at any hope for success remains. The tariff proposals as they stand strike a deadly blow at cute ol Canada's great tllalltlfacttlrillg ill dustries, rendering many millions .1’ invested capital unproductive, lepriving tllousallds oi Canadian workers of employment, greatly rc- ‘ducing our export tratle and tit- llloralizing the tin-item of the Dominion.

"either by individual or collective dismissal. or by tll'e appolntlnclltot members to give a majority vote tor its abolition according to tllc decision in the case stated lleiot-u the Supreme Court of Nova St-otia and which ultimately may rent-ll the Privy Council."

What an awful commentary up- on the awful facts of the can was that of Judge Kttvanagll of illc Superior Court of Chicago a letv days ago. _ Here are a few ex- tracts fl-om his public address; "There are at large in the Unit- ed States thousands of nlen anti women murderers who have never been brougllt to justice.“

Judge Kavnnagh declared that "the condition of lawlessness ill the United States today was tlll- paralloied in the history of civiliz- ation."

"There is no mystery as to why we have so much crime‘ in this country," he said. "Evil minded men in the Utnited States have no respect for law because their ex- perience has been that they need have little fear of its penalties. A man knows that the chances art.- three to one that he never will la= arrested ll‘ he kills, twelve to one that he never will be convicted, anti more ihnn one hundred to one that he will not die for Ills crime." "There were in the United States last year more than 10.000 criminal homicides as compared with 100 in England."

What will be the and of |u:h an appalling record? There is punish- ment beyond the grave for the in- dividuai sinner who dies impeni- tent. but. there is none iornatloms.

. -¢-¢ THE TARIFF GOMMISION

‘Sin-Professor McLennan has made a suggestion that two pro- fessors of economics be added to the Canadian Customs Talilil’ Board. This suggestion will have no sup- port from any of the practical men in this country. and when we say practical we mean in business aflairs.

Professor Mcbennan is a pract- ical man, an outstanding Canadian citizen. who has made valuable and practical contributions to this country. and we would be wise to go to hinl for any advioe in our own line, but the practical busi- .1853 lllen 0t‘ this cotlntry have lle appreciation of the work of the av- erage professor 0t’ economics, and In saying this we wish to stress the word "average" for there are notable exceptions of men in that Profession who have brought them- selves to a practical way of looking at otlr affairs. But for one professor of €(.‘0ll0lli-LS,WlllCl1 has done so there are thousands in practical walks of life.

it is all right for professors in the Universities to carry on their eXlleriments with the different experimental work. They will have elements which they wish to analyze and sepcrate, and combine, but it s too serious a matter to take the harmless. affairs of this country. and place them in the professor's labratoly [or lliul to conduct his expt-rinlentai work. They will have to produce a lot of evidence that they are capable of analyzing and deal- zng with our practical affairs be- fore tlle Canadian public would have ally confidence in them to illllce lllflm in a position where they cttn make or nlar this country.
