Bellefonte, Pa., October 22, 1920. EE St, SAYS OHIO’S VOTE WILL ELECT COX. Dr. Chancellor, Noted Educator, Pre- dicts State Will Give Him 250,000 Majority. New York.—That Governor Cox will be elected President in November, carrying Ohio by 250,000 majority, is the confident prediction of Dr. Wil- liam Estabrook Chancellor, noted writer, educator and political student, in a letter published in the New York Times for September 26. Dr. Chancellor, who has held the chair of political and social science, history and other studies in several of the leading universities of this coun- try, bases his prediction of the result in Ohio upon a careful survey of the situation in that State. He asserts that Senator Harding will even lose the ward in which he lives, the city of Marion and the county. The people of Senator Harding's home city, Dr. Chancellor said, know that he is a “political accident.” .He declares that Indiana, knowing the facts concerning the candidates, will Yote as Chio does in the coming elec- on. DR. CHANCELLOR'S LETTER. In the following letter Dr. Chancel- lor sets forth the reasons upon which he predicates his conclusion. Wooster, Ohio, Sept. 14, 1920. To the Editor of The New York Times: As an observer I was present at the Republican National convention in Chicago. Since that time I have vis- ited in a score of cities in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Oo, and was a delegate to the Ohio State Democrat- ic Convention. Much of my travel has been on traction lines where I have met many people in various walks of life. I have spent three days in Mar- ion, and have investigated the politic- al conditions in Dayton. If the Re- publicans are basing their hopes of victory upon Ohio and the Middle West, I am at a loss to discover any- thing whatever for such a basis. Gov- ernor Cox will carry Ohio by a quar- ter of a million votes. Owing to the workmen’s compensa- tion act and to the fact that in the in- dustrial struggles of this State under Governor Cox no shot has ever been fired, labor will cast an almost solid vote for him, and be enthusiastic in so doing. FOR HIM ON HIS RECORD. Owing to the great improvement in public education due to the school code in the three administrations of the Governor, practically all school- men and schoolwomen of the State of any length of experience are his warm personal supporters. In visit- ing teachers’ institutes and summer college sessions at many points, I have been amazed at the virtual una- nimity of this support and at its vig- orous public statement, unusual in or- dinarily restrained educators. As is well known, there is a great preponderance among college profes- sors of support for the League of Na- tions; and the same preponderance will be found among preachers as well. Ministers who have never be- fore talked politics are talking for the League according to the present cov- enant. One of the most popular acts ever operative in our State is the so-called Smith One Per Cent. act, limiting tax- ation. This holds the farmers in line, for the Democrats sponsored it and have stood by it. The law was pre- pared by our famous Judson Harmon. Upon the State ticket there are two very strong candidates, one of them A. V. Donahey, who has been State Auditor for eight years, the present candidate for Governor to succeed Cox; and W. A. Julian, a Cincinnati manufacturer, who happens for good reason to be very popular among working people, Senatorial candidate. These men are opposed by former Governor F. P. Willis, during the war a mild pacifist, and by former Mayor Harry L. Davis, of Cleveland, who laid the city wide open. These will prove to he very weak candidates. Cox, Donahey and Julian make a trio that will lead tens of thousands of former Republicans to vote the Demo- cratic ticket, and will hold every Dem- ocrat in line. The Auditor is a verita- ble watchdog of the Treasury, a bril- liant political writer, and a persuasive platform man, and happens to poor, with a family consisting of a wife and ten children. He will get the highest vote. WOMEN FAVOR COX. Of course any one who predicts what women will do—even a woman who so predicts—runs unfamiliar chances in politics. To us, it appears that the women will vote for the League. Here Cox will lose no femi- nine support as being a “wet,” for the sufficient reason that he enforced, even in Cincinnati, the Sunday Clos- ing act and as Governor signed the then unpopular Crabbe Prohibition Enforcement act, both antedating by several years the Volstead act and na- tional prohibition. : The battle will be fought here in Ohio. It is improbable that the man who carries Ohio will lose the election. Indiana will vote as Ohio votes, know- ing the facts intimately. Born of a family from forefathers who came in- to this State in the eighteenth centu- , with kinsmen in a score of differ- ent countries, to myself it looks like a Democratic certainty, overwhelming- ly so. Harding will lose the ward in which he lives, the city and the county. There he is known for what in fact he is, a political accident. WM. ESTABROOK CHANCELLOR. Another war has begun in the Near East. Word was received that Armenia has formally declared war against the Turkish Nationalists. The Turkish Nationalists have occupied Sari-Kamish and are moving upon the great Black Sea port of Batum. ——1st Scout—I've lived on vege- tables only, for two weeks. 2nd Scout—That’s nothing. lived on earth for a number of years. PENNSYLVANIA’S FORESTS. Short Talks on the Forests and the Lumber Situation. — By Gifford Pinchot, Chief Forester of Pennsylvania. FORESTRY A BUSINESS TION. Forestry may be defined in several ways. It is the art of raising repeat- ed crops of timber on soil unsuited for agriculture. It is the common sense way to handle woodlands for what they can produce. I think the best definition of forestry, however, is that it is the art of handling forest land in such a way that it will be of the greatest service to man. Forestry should be practiced by all persons who own their timber lands. Unless it is practiced, these lands can not produce what they should produce, either in returns to the owner or ben- efit to civilization. It is strictly a bus- iness proposition. It was on June 13, 1898, that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania bought its first piece of forest land, and started the practice of forestry. From then until now the Common- wealth has purchased lands in differ- ent parts of the State until its pres- ent holdings amount to 1,077,520 acres. In these twenty-two years the Commonwealth has paid to townships for school and road purposes $562,- 419.77 in taxes on its forest lands. Purely as a business investment the state forests show up as follows: Total purchase price..........% 2,456,300,08 Total amount expended for administration, development and improvement ........... Total investment and expen- ditures PROPOSI- 3,613,211.85 6,069,511.93 11,000,000.00 6,069,511.93 Net gain on investment $4,930,488.07 In other words, the State is about five million dollars better off than if it had never bought and paid for an acre of forest land, and in addition it is growing large amounts of lumber and wood which will be ready for the use of the people just when they will be needing it most. The town of Zurich in Switzerland has for centuries had what amounts to a wood-lot of several thousand acres. It has been under careful management since long before Columbus discover- ed America. During all that time it has produced crop after crop of valu- able timber, the young trees growing up to take the place of the old trees cut down. The point is that the forest is conserved and renewed instead of being destroyed by lumbering. Not only is it not destroyed, but it becomes steadily more valuable and its products more important every year. It produces annually from every acre a net revenue about three times as large as the amount Penn- sylvania has paid per acre for the for- est lands it owns; and unless the for- est is destroyed by violence or fire, will keep on doing it for centuries to come. I speak of the City forest of Zurich from personal knowledge, because I got part of my training in forestry under its maples and ashes, its beech- es and spruces, and because I have visited it again and again as one of the most interesting and instructive forests in Europe. Remarkable as this forest is, it does not stand alone. I know of many towns in Europe whose whole munic- ipal expense before the war was paid from the annual net revenue of their forests; and the beauty of it is that under wise methods of cutting the longer these forests are operated, the more timber is cut from them under skillful management, the more timber they produce, and the greater is their net return. Forestry with them means an endless succession of valua- ble timber crops from the same land. We can do the same thing in Penn- sylvania if we want to. cesesens sesasescsranen Present value of forests......

In ascertaining the bor- rowing capacity of the city of Philadel- phia, at any time, there shall be deducted from such debt so much of the debt of said city as shall have been incurred, or is about to be incurred, and the proceeds thereof expended, or about to be expended, upon any public improvement, or in the construction, purchase, = or condemnation of any public utility, or part thereof, or facility thereof, if such public improve- ment or public utility, or part thereof, whether separately or in connection with any other public improvement or public utility, or part thereof, may reasonably be expected to yield revenue in excess of operating expenses sufficient to pay the interest and sinking fund charges thereon. The method of determining such amount, so to be deducted, may be prescribed by the General Assembly. In incurring indebtedness for any pur- pose the city of Philadelphia may issue its obligations maturing not later than fifty (50) years from the date thereof, with provision for sinking-fund sufficient to retire said obligations at maturity, the payment to such sinking-fund to - be in equal or graded annual or other periodi- eal installments.
