' Harry Pargeter, secretary of the Douglas Fire Patrol Association to day recelveu a letter from the West ern Forestry and Conservation As. sociation in .regard to the enlistment of the men engage in the forest pa trol work. As the Douglas patrol employes a hundred or more trained men it could raise quite a -number. according to the terms or the letter, who would be of value to the gov ernment. Excerpts from, the letter are as follows: If the war situation becomes serious enough to bring out any gen eral call to anus, It is quite likely that our forest protective-organiza Hons throughout the country will be more or less crippled by enlist ments. It is therefore well to got advance information of such a situ- itlon. so the gaps can De lined ef fectively and our organizations will not break down during the tiro sea sons. Furthermore, foresters, rangers, patrolmen and tho like constitute a body of mon with peculiar qualifica tions for service along Bpecial lines. If any aro to enlist It is no loss to the country's interest than to theirs that such qualifications ue mauo available in tho most effective man ner, not dissipated and lost through random and unsystematic enlistment in the wrong arms of the military establishment. It is both tho privi lege and the duty of everyone In position to do so to help if possible, in milking an opportunity for the very best utilization of their train ing and experience. "I understand that these prob lems as they relate to the govern ment's forest men are being worked out by the departments of agricul ture anu war. It may be that tney will be handled as an auxiliary unit, making enlistments In tho army or militia undesirable, or mat enlist ment will be according to a plan worked out of a census now under way, showing tne nuniiiicmiunn ui those who may go. Possibly some f the forest units may be organiz ed, made available to the war de partment in u systematic manner. Tho engineering, quartermaster's and signal branches would probably want most of them. It might be possible to get a company or two to gether who would bo quite at home In the former's pioneer regiments or topographic detachments. "Wo suggeBt therefore, that the managing heads of such organiza tions get In touch with their men ns early as posslblo to learn of thoso who may be likely to enlist, should future developments stir a patriotic impulse and classify these according to any speclnl qualifications they possess. It is only fair that -each organization know In advance If any of Its men contemplate leaving. If this results In any considerable list nf value we can then take steps to make It available to the proper an thoritlce. It might result In any nm. nf the following nlans: "1. Advising tho men to tako no action unless the government In dicates that they are needed else whore more than on their present wm-k. '2. Their enrollment In tne sev eral existing reserve corps accord ing to their fitness for each, not to bo called out unless needed. '3. Systematic, enlistment in tne proper branches It the need becomes sudden and great. '4. The formntion of a separate woodsmen's reserve organization, private, state and federal; to be or ganized as a unit nut useu as uei nnmcnts Bhull determine. "As you no doubt Know, me mam existing aimy classifications are as fnllnwR: Infantry, cavalry, artillery. signal, quartermaster's, medical and engineers. . For example, leiepnone builders,' as well us neiiograpncrs mlcht stand more chance of ad vancemcnt and service in tho signal corps, while other kinds of engineer- nir helnnff In the engineers. - "In closing we wish to repeal inai It is nuito possible under nirang ments 'now being considered, that our men could bo made more useful in war time by adding certain other duties to their important one ot fire prevention than by leaving the lo calltyfor military service." There- are many reasons why Ore-' go-; should vote 308 yes, and adopt th proposed amendments. First and forem"" Oregon will be given tl founaatiou for a is.?. system of taxa-j t'ou. which will be attractive both to the investors and the homesecker. I Second, the amendments, with the; laws that must he enacted in accord , with them, will put an enu to the agi tations in regard to taxation which have disturbed Oregon for many' years and tended to discourage the1 introduction of capital. From the. standpoint of public rovenue, the) laws that Will be based upon tho, amendments will bring 'moro money) into the treasury, thau now reaches It, and distribute In an equitnblol manner the burden of taxation. The! question of sources of revenuo In) Oregon Ib not only important, bull serious. In lato years the fedoral government has been appropriating itself revenues liko income, inhcri-; tance and' corporation taxes, which' In comparatively recent time time, I have been assumed to belong ox-j cluslvely to the slates. Fedoral en-, croaehment upon sources of state anil : local revenue has become a llvo issue; In every state. For example, Call-j fornln derives 12,500,000 u year trom inheritances' and is concerned by the threatened absorption of this: fund by the federal government. To cope with this situation, involving j the relation of the "stute with the, fedoral government, and to keep) abreast with the forward spirit of the, time, Oregon needs theso amend ments Incorporated into Its constitu tion. Sound tax laws founded upon! theso amendments wilt accomplish wonders for the material welfare of the statee. Such laws, so- sorely needed, can ho made possible only by the adoption of tho amendments. Vote 308 yeB. Put Oregon In tho column of states whoso tax laws are sane, sound and modern. (Signed.)
