EIGHT PAGE DAILY SOON
The Gateway regrets the arrival of Tuesdays solely
on account of the big delinquent tax list which must ap
pear once a we^k and which limits the daily news to prac
tically the front page. However, winter is over and with
the approach of spring and increased business, The Gate
way has been planning for the past month to shortly be
gin publishing an eight page daily paper. It is believed a
little increase in advertising will justify this move. In
the meantime the circulation is increasing daily and
weekly as will be noticed upon the next publication of cir
culation required by the postal department.
RESTUDYING PROHIBITION
The prohibition question has been reopened with a
vengeance. A remarkable change of public opinion re
garding it is evidently under way. This may not lead to
any immediate change in the law. It certainly could not
result in an actual repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
until a long period of years had elapsed. But upon one
thing there seems to be a definite and strong concentra
tion of sentiment. It is that the facts about prohibition be
officially and impartially inquired into. This view has so
far prevailed with the Judiciary Committee of the United
States Senate that it is now holding public hearings, the
time being divided equally between the friends and ene
mies of prohibition. No fair-minded person can object to
.such a matching of the evidence for an against. The coun
try is entitled to know by such a confrontation of witnes
ses how prohibition has worked, and whether there is any
^possibility that enforcement may be made more complete
;and satisfactory. At present, even the champions of pro
hibition admit that it has in most parts of the country
been a sad failure.
FORESTRY FACTS
The lumber industry is vitally interested in forest
protection because this industry and the secondary wood
working industry probably represent not less than $10,
000,000,000 of capital and an annual product of a value of
over $3,000,000,000 and employs 1,000,000 persons. Protect
the National Forests from fire—it pays.
The forests of the United States are being drained
about four times as fast as new timber is being grown.
Twice as many acres of forest land are burned over each
year as are cut over in lumbering operations. Disease and
insects also take an appalling toll every year. This is
Fire Prevention Week.
