and his forestry service received a hard
drubbing at the hands of the senate during
the debate on the agricultural appropria-

a material reduction of the appropriation
for the forestry service. Senator Carter
Offered an amendment which he backed
up by q bitter speech against the admin
STATIONS forest reserve policy whereby
PinchOt is to receive but S2000000 during
the next fiscal year, instead of $4,203.000.
Senator Carter read various extracts
from forest service documents setting
forth the list OF journeys taken by for
estfy employees during the year for every
purpose, from helping supervisors sell tim
Der in Arizona 20 leCtJriug before the Coop

first, then rubbed his eyes and hitched Up
his chair. When Senator Carter read an
item of between 500 and 500 which the
government expended in having employees
Of the service deliver lectures at St. Louis,
and to report upon timber conditions at
Butte, Mont. the Maine senator arose and
delivered himself of certain caUstic re-
marks 10 the effect that such expendi-
lures as that were never contemplated By
to them. He agreed with Senator Carter
that the forestry bureau was employing
too many lecturers. too many experts and
too many high-priced men for services
which congress never contemplated. Sen
ator Carter poked fun at the Queen Anne

aroused Senator Hale who asked If he
were not merely joking.
Senators Dolliver. Smoot and Nelson de-
Tended the forestry service and its eX-
pendituTes. 1t is reported that fifteen Re
publican senators stand ready to join the
Democrats in cutting down the forestry
