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.

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

"higher brackets" gain little; but the majority are not much
concerned about that.

Under taxation again a large volume of wealth now escaping

to economists, that it must come sooner or later.

"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. But
ahead to a now day of hope and
trust. A new. vision ot tho real
moaning of ma n. A new hope tor his
ultimate trlv rcgh over matorial
things. A license to live In a world
ot peace olid confldon-K That's

For more than a few of tho dele
gates vltUl with apprehension the
possibility ot tho convention con
eluding Its activities on Friday, the
Thirteenth.
Even among tho "leadors" there
are many who face unafraid tha
combined th:cuts of Democrats and
Independent-,, but who logo their
nerve and complacency at tho pros
pect of picking a vice presidential
candldato and winding up the affairs
of tho session on a data popularly
reputed to be laden with distress
and disaster,
Of course these gentlemen are iioi
superstitious. They'll tell yon
frr.nkly they are not.
But then, tlioy a.)k, why take a
chMice? Why tempt Fate?
Democratic Interest In tho Cleve
land convention extends chiefly to
tho sort of platform the G. O. P.
enrpontors build.
For the Democratic program cslln
for tho construction of a platform
which will be more nttractlvo and
cpaclous than that of the Republi
cans one on which there will ho
room for all who fear faulty con
