TREE PLANTING OF GREAT VALUE IN MANY WAYS Arbor Day Takes on Significance Which Appeals to All Classes. I By KUHARD LIEBER. director of tJie State Conservation Department. Arbor day, designated in proclamation i by Governor Warreir T. McCray, as Friday. April 21. undoubtedly means more to Hoo-iers this than at any time in its history by reason of the impetus it gives to a well advanced movement to reforest Indiana's desolate and unproductive acres. After a period of indifference, Jur. ng which immense wealth in native hardwoods. the people, at last, realize that one of our Slate's greatest resources is near exhaustion. In addition to lack of timber, underground tables are receding, floods are most frequent, for lack of check by forests a* - headquarters, soil wash and erosion common, and land heretofore fertile, is now largely unproductive. Added to this, it has cost the people of this State, morethan a million dollars a year in freight rates to obtain the* needed timber from forests in distant States. SEI.USH NESS ( USE OF IT ALE. Pure prodigality and selfish interests to acquire fabulous riches through sacrifice of one of natui/s greatest endowments brought about this deplorable condition. Whereas the State's 22,000.000 odd acres f, rmerly grew gigantic forest trees, today we have less than 2,000,000 acres in growing timber, much of which is cutover and of modi, ere quality. The cut of this r.-a will not equal the cut of 50.000 acres f Virgin forest land. The woodland rea is distributed over the State aud in -mall tracts. Potential forest lands lie chiefly in the si iithern part of the State. It Is es

timated whole counties could more profitably grow trees, owing to the ro:gh topography, than to follow agriculture and dairying. The conservation commission, 'upon every opportunity, urged establishment of State forests and even privately owned forests. Some progress has been made, especially in favor of the latter. Through legislative cognizance of our rapidly diminishing timber stocks, private forestry j is now possible without high individual costs. A recent law permits classification of forest lands for assessment, at only SI.OO per acre and is promoting, to some exteut, reforestation. AKOISEI) PI'BUC SIPPORTS POLICT. An aroused public on learning that Indiana wood-using industries employ 70,000 people, are capitalized at $170,0/0,000 and produce annually products valued at $140,000,000, yet are forced to import all but 7 per cent of timber used, sees the wisdom of Stated-owned forests aud is slowly getting back of the movement. Many interests today favor purchase by the State, of thousands of acres of hill country, unfit for profitable agriculture, but ideal for growing hardwoods. In the course of national readjustment and equitable revision of markets, I expect to see the development of a comprehensive forestry policy and large State owned forests, because all thinkers admit that Indiana must soon start growing its timber, or generations to come must pay in health, wealth and happiness. By no deduction, can it be determined that the constantly increasing population will ever need less timber. The forestry problem of Indiana must be solved on the basis of public welfare. Under this I include such contributing factors as the recreational and, most important, the economical. In Arbor day there is deep sentiment, vitally necessary to arouse some to the need of a progressive forestry policy. The purpose, as conceived by its found ers, was to inculcate In youth a love and knowledge of trees. And it is the same youth who will need the Umber we ur gently seek to have grown. It Is the same youth, who, as the man of tomorrow, will find that an insufficient timber

Chauncey M. Depew, at 88, Says World Looks Rosy Feels Like Colt', He Declares, and Sees Universal Peace Hope.

NEW YORK, April 21.—"1 see more hope for the future of the world on my eighty-eighth birthday than on any other birthday in the past seven years today, declared Chauncy M. Depew. who will be 88 years young Sunday. "I think that all wars will he stopped and that we are about to enter upoir an era of universal peace.” “I feel like a man of 48 years, and not 88." said Mr. Depew. “There is no such thing as age, if one doesn't think about it. I was never more capable of hard work than now, and if my birthday didn't fall upon a Sunday this year I should celebrate it by going to my office and working all day, as I have usually done.” Mr. Depew, who looks the picture of health, thinks the conference called by President Harding at Washington saved

stock is one of his greatest economic losses. Like youth. Arbor day looks primarily to the future. Asa people without children would be hopeless, so a country without young trees will become desolate. Arbor day suggests the beauty and gladness of the earth's awakening, as revealed in trees. It suggests thorough consideration of our country's needs which become more serious within a generation. Constant loss of trees can be redeemed only by a continuous planting of forest and shade trees. For many years the planting of trees on Arbor day was considered only from a cultural standpoint. Today, such work has great economic value in view of depleted timber stocks. The commercial aspect of Indiana's 600,000 school chit-

the world from chaos and destruction, and he believes tbo Genoa conference is going to finish the ork by paving the way for universal pec Here are some of Mr. Depew’s philosophical observations based upon a long and healthy life: “If you wish to be healthy, do the things you don't want to do. 1 attribute my health to the fact that I always I gave up things as soon as I found they hurt me. I gave up smoking thirty years ago and quit eating red meat twenty-five years ago. “To me the world Is like a garden. You can’t pul! up all the weeds, but you can grow in it the things you like. “The more I study conditions today tn the world, the gladder I am that I am an American. There Is hope over here and a certainty of happiness.”

If the facts as set .'orth in its petition are founß by the public service commission to be eorrect. This company was conceived and organized as a civic enterprise, the profits of stockholders and their rights being limited by contract This company is not to be compared with the ordinary public utility company. It originated in a popular move by the citizens of Indianapolis to combat a foreign owned monopoly. For years the Citizens Gas Company served the public at a rate lower than any In the country. Dur people saved millions of dollars from 19t© to 1921, and one of the produest boasts of the city was Its low gas rate. Then came the war, with its unending train of economic complications. The company, through its profits on byproducts, continued a low gas rate, while the rates in other cities soared upward. For a year the by-products and especially ihe coke market has been non-existent or low. The rate asked for, when compared with other cities. Is not out of line. It has been suggested that a receiver be applied for. This suggestion ts without merit, and is altogether undesirable. The receiver's prime duty Is to protect the creditors of the company with service to the public a secondary affair. Quite recently the Federal Court has shown

The principles Involved in this case were adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court three weeks ago in the New York gas case and were upheld in every point. It must be remembered that this company is not controlled through stock ownership by any small clique, but numbers over five thousand small stockholders entitled to a return upon their investment. We particularly urge the citizens and the Indiana public service commission to remember the long service at low rates which this company performed, and now that it has fallen on evil day# to accord It a sympathetic hearing.
