'lt Is not only the federal trade
commission, but also (he tariff
commission and the Interstate
commerce commission. Senator
Norris said, "to which such ap
pointments have been made."
Referring then to the .appoint
ment of William K. Humphrey to
the federal trade commission, the
Nebraska senator said that what
should be done Is "to advocate and
If posslb.e carry out the repeal of
the law providing for the federal
trade commission.1'
'Everybody knows," the senator
added, Tthat the majority yf the
reuerai trade commission. Honest
though they may b personally and
individually, is so imbued with re
actionary sentiment and so parti
san In their makeup, that they
would not see a wrong committed
by a big trust or a monopoly, even
though It did appear as 'huge as

"So what Is the use of having a

Forest fires swept 29.000.UOO acres
of public and private lands last
year, with a monetary damage of
i $:,$.ooo,f.uo. it is estimated by the
forest service.
The number of forest fires was
; fixed at 92.000, which was 24.000
j more fires than In 1!423 and 45,000
more than the nine-year average.
I Incendiary fires topped th list,
with 21.000. Rnifh burnln enme
next with 16,000 and smokers tntrd
with 13.000. Other chief nausea
j were attributed to railroads, cam(
i fires, lumbering and lightning.
Money damage in 1924 was est!
i mated at $10,000,000 more than in
j 1923 and $1S.OOO,000 higher than the
I nine-year average. The estimate
does not include damage to young
: plant growth, watershed protection,
i wild life or recreational areas.
I On the national forest areas alone
I S247 fires were reported as sweep
ing 602.000 acres with a money loss
I of S 1.500.000.
! William B. Greeley, chief of the
; forest service, declared the Increase
, In reported fires was due partly to
1 more complete reports, although he
termed 1924 as a "very bad year.
"The greatest single agency with
which to combat forest fires Is pub
lic opinion," he said. "The federal
and state governments are doing
1 their utmost with the funds and
equipment allotted them. It is high
time that a more effective weapon
I is placed at their disposal and that
weapon Is an outraged opinion."
