Forest Fires.

One'of the worst encinys of the
forest Is fire. To combat this the
Forest Service maintains n fire
fighting system. During the last
two years, while the reserve area
has almost doubled. the burned
area has been reduced three. fonrths
and this work Is only IN its infancy.
The direct loss from forest fires
IN the United States runs annually
into the millions of dollars.
A constant lookout for fires is
kept from commanding points
during the danger season, and the
reserves are patrollcd ms efficiently
IA possible with the force available.
Roads, trails and fire lines are con.

MUST DESERVE SUCCESS

The Chieftain believes the Republican party viii con.
ol tho constitution convention II believes this how
ever not because II d the opinion that the stats
has been gerFymandered IN such way that Democratic
victory impossible not because It thinks majority Of
the people thoroughly Republican that the Demo
Gratis be successful but because IS convinced
that the Republican party viii oasr tho voters the beat
candidates and che best platform. Under other cir
camstances indeed does the Republican party deserve
to win
And in this connection IL is wel for all Republicans
to he on their guard The politicians Of both parties
claiming that the corporations havethe clutch
es the other party AS matter u fact il matters
not at an 70 the corporations what party label man
wears fhes saleable that's all theg ask The eorpon
tions are after both parties tn oklahoma they want
write the constitution II looks as il the beer and vhs
key trust already had working agreement with tie
Democrats and the railroads icing quiet and
effective work tn the ame party
But the thing for Republicans 70 90 IS not 70 point
their fingers At the Democrats bat 20 get down and
work 70 keep their own parts free from corporation to-
naenccs The corporations are after the Republican,
party t would be tolls to deny t There's disgrace
IN that fact however, the disgrace pi come only IN ease
they saceeed IN getting control And remember they
vii be able to do this only in case the rank and ale Of
the party neglect their datg.
The Republicans can control TIE constitutional con.
vention. but only in the men they nominate and
the platforms they adopt are deserving Of Success ne
people OF the state are not foos and they are not
going TO bltgiiold their eyes when Trey vots.
