' 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.
