WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1924 STOP FOREST FIRES A COMMENDABLE movement has had its inception in the burning of forests - Under the name "ST.OP FOREST FIRES ASSOCIA i-TION" it is the plan to enlist a wide membership, obtaining ..the signature of every man, woman, or youth who frequents the 'wooded area for camping trip or outing. "' 'Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls are to be commissioned as solicitors and the Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the move. is to offer prizes to the boy or girl who enlists the greatest number. Tourists as they come in from the south through this gate way to Nature's forest area, are to be asked to sign a card and join. Residents are to be enlisted in the organization and thus become active missionaries toward Dreventins- the havoc of the Red Demon. .Ministers are to be requested to impress the dangers of campfire and smoker carelessness. Hotels and restaurants are to be asked to help with paster and notice. ; , Far beyond the result or good attained by a mere local ap plication of the plan, the state at large is being asked to take up the movement and through the State Chamber of Com merce an appeal will probably go forth to all cities with a suggestion to establish similar organizations. ... Klamath's response may be credited to an individual letter sent forth oy the United States Forest Service to newspapers and leaders in 'various communities, pointing out the graver dangers existing this year due to the dry season and the fact that, in all history no situation as serious has presented itself. ) Cigaret ' smokers particularly should "have a care" The glowing, cast-off fag, still alight, carelessly thrown from auto seat or, as one leaves camp, is a dangerous dealer. , movement and lend their moral support. v."

THE TAX RELIEF T HE expiring Congress will be forgiven much, because it A lowered taxes. Its revenue law maybe unscientific, in principle and wrong in many details, but the average taxpayer . is not given to close analysis. The law does grant relief to f n 1 1 1 1 n n ; r nti 7PnC in thir inrnmp tav navmAntc rnni-l-a tf renei mis year, in a general cut oi A3 per cent, anu tne prospect . of a cut of ' one-half or more in next vear's oavments." The "higher brackets" gain little; but the majority are not much concerned about that. ii nvuiu iidvcccji uclicl, wcu uuui iiicu pel suu Uldy au init.'if Congress had made a greater reduction on the income taxes on big fortanes, and coupled it with legislation to stop the issuance of tax-exempt securities. That might have brought Under taxation again a large volume of wealth now escaping hundreds of millions now buried in public bonds and encour aging public extravagance. Such action is so logical, according to economists, that it must come sooner or later. - In the meantime,, there is a noticeable perking up of busi nesstbecause of the general cheerfulness caused by relieving the .small tax burdens of the many. That effect may be more psychological than scientific, but it is an economic fact just . v This lynching . problem is complicated. Convicts in an Arizona penitentiary tried to lynch one of their number, when he stabbed a woman with an ice pick. What would you do about that? " ' J. President Harding's shoemaker friend from Northamnton-. Mass., is attending the Republican convention, probably for first "aid to politicians on their uppers. As the "$15,000,000 defense" is mobilized in Chicago, one is moved to wonder again whether American courts arc in tended tor justice or legal sport. The young lady in New Jersey who started out in an eve ning gown to catch rabbits with her bare hands only caught a cold and a lot bf unpleasant notoriety. , . There's something besides 'politics in this country. National advertisers are spending 20 per cent more than they did last year.. And getting the worth of their money, too, .. A lime may come when political candidates want adjusted compensation for the time they've spent trying to be elected. 'Don't be too hard on Congressv It hasn't done any worse than the weather. .'

"God of Gold" Given Wallop by Member of 'Third House' Editor Horalcr: This letter Is prompted by your editorial of June 7, entitled "Profit less Gold." On behalf of the people, and aa a saya, "don"t do it; -don't do It: don't do It until I toll you to." A (iospel of Don't. Without reflection on any politi cal party, I wish to remark, thut for I the last five years wo havu had a con- member of "the third house" I mewt j tinual gospel ot don't.. respectfully beg indulgence to of' for a few remarks on thU line of thought. U is a well known and accepted fact that we are now governed, not by any responsible parly either He publican, Democratic or other party, but by factions and blocs. This id not within itself so deplorable when carefully analyzed. It simply means that the thinkers are busy trying to answer, both to their own satis faction and to the satisfaction of their supporters, the following ques tion: Is gold superior to man or is man superior to gold? Shall the getting ot gold Interfere with every process of humanity for the well be ing ot humanity? Is gold within itself more valuable than all things In this world, including all mater ial thinga of which it forma a part only? This question is fully nnswer- ed by merely the asking of It. A part cannot surpass the whole. Yet through all our financial history we have approached this question aa If the solitary Item of gold ixere ui more conslderaticn than the -thou- and and one things which we would rather have thnn cold, and lor which we arc at t'-U ti!H'.-s willing to give up gold to gel. Looser Money I'twlcss. In our present state of mind, and because of our recurrent mania for gold, being committed to the phil osophy that the dollar Is mightier than man, who created ii, there would be no use of tho Federal He- serve Banking 6y3tom loo:iontng up on loons. This would bo merely .- lug the patient another shot o: 'hop." Inflation? Why this god of Cold la inflated himself until he can hardly sit in comfort on Hit Throne Chair. Gouty old Devil that he Is, he's constantly hollering for help, and never ablo to render any service tor liij own folks when It 13 most needed; not only that but con stantly Interfering with the service that we wiih to render one to the other. Sometime, somehow, somevneru, It will come to p.'isj that r.ome of humanity will devise a system "lat will not rely on the old duffer, nni! tho rent of the world will follow as naturally as water goc.i to the sea or as vapor rncki the sky to nxnm refresh the land. This plilloaophy that Insists that v.'c nm.it huvo a money or medium of exchange that Is not responsive to human lKodi, that hinders and delays our service to one another, is ail wrong, t do not care if it lift; been in vogue for ages. This philosophy in nifaln on trial and for my part,- If gold in terfere.) with business, that lu our eervlce one to another. Then CUT OUT THiEJ GOLD. "Can" the r.nos tlee of Hard Cash anil let's go. It was not until the year if our Lord 1923 that the world fully loom ed that the credit of nation il'-I not rest entirely on the amount of gold It could produce, but on the ability of that nation, that people, to pn'y. Yes pay; not In gold alone but in service, in .producing thlngj thut other people need. Kxchttn.ie oj products tor products. - And here it this lazy old God ot Gold, and Don't plant so much wl:at, when portions of the world wero starving for bread; Don't start any' now de velopment work to make n sw homes for the people mhen thouanuda ot our soldier defenders wero jomelaej and Jobless. Don't tax gold, lie's totting old; givo him tux tree. securities In his age. Don't do anything for any body as It will deplete the gold re serve forces. And finally don't worry; you wilt aoon bo boyond the sordid world or care. The gospel of despair Is repeated in reverence to the mandates of this God ot Gold. Our financial high lights began e aging this gospel In mournful strain until it sunk deep into the very soul of an already sorrowful morld. Confidence In men was shattered and tho " world In stead of being- a safe- place for free institutions, became one ot fear and distrust for nil th'.nss and all peoples. Back to normalcy? No, never.
