DRUBBxNC FOR FORESTRY BUREAU

met" Mr.. Weeks, Of Massachusetts,, said that in
the past the constituents of Mr.aPinchots critics
had been in the habit Of going on forest reserva-
tons and removing timber without paying for it,
and the same true regarding the raising Of
herds on public grazing lands. Mr.. Mann, of
Illinois, said that for many years it had 80 be-
come the custom to loot the public domain that
when the government endeavors to come into it's
own it looks like robber to the people of the
West The appropriation of 81, $3.50, 900 for the
Forestry Bureau was voted by the House by
small majority.

Washington, March 31.-The forest reserve
has received it's annual drubbing in the House.
Mr.. Mondell, of Wyoming, charged wanton ex-
travagance under the administration of Forester
Clifford Pinchot. Bitter denunciation was heaped
upon the service by Mr.. Smith of California.
THE effort of the bureau is to grind every dollar
it can get out Of the people of the West" There
was, he declared, no kind of activity carried on
in any part of the national forest that the people
were not made to yield money, money, money
all the time to the federal government. He
charged that the forest service had illegally ex
Hot Springs post. (Hot Springs, Alaska) 1908-1909, 1909-04-03

torted fees from miners, stockmen, farmers and
others. Mr. Smith told of California man who
owned some beehives near a forest reserve. The
bees got into the reserve and partool of honey
from the blossoms. When this depreciation be-
came known tax of 10 cents hive on bees near
forest reserves was levied. Unless halt was
called in the grinding of the people, he said,
reaction would occur and the forest system would
be destroyed. Mr.. Cook, of Colorado, expressed
his approval of all that Congressman Smith had
uttered, and said that Mr., Pinchot's sole purpose
was to get Secretary Wilson's place in the cab
