Clifford Pinchot Says Loss Is Price Of
UnpreparedneSS.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Gifford Pin
rchot of the National Conservation as
sociation and former head of the gov
eminent forest service, in a statement,
holds that the loss of property and
life in the recent and present forest
fires was unnecessary.
The disastrous results, he said, are
traceable to the unpreparedness to
deal with the fire situation. He scores
members of congress who have op-
posed appropriations for the proper
equipment of forest rangers and in
that connection names Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, whose home town, Wal
lace, Ida, suffered serious loss; Sena-
tor Carter of Montana and Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming.

is claimed that they applied to
George Carlson, the district attorney,
requesting that he bring action in

w show that is now in full swing
and with a great deal Of credit
to the fine stores for which this city
is becoming famous-is primarily and
almost solely for the feminine sex, it
is by no means without interest to the
other. No "mere man" with an eye for
the beautiful can stroll along the win

distes who appeal to the women with
such a fine Italian hand" the more

Let him entertain no morbid thoughts
on the probable cost to him. He's got
to count on q certain outlay, anyway.
And let him not criticise the styles,
for there Is hope. He is to have his
chance. The recent national dress
makers convention in Chicago went
on record as being in favor of asking
father and hubby their opinions be-
fore any further radical fashions are

rious proposition to put forth fashions

WHAT VAUDEVILLE DID

Editor Herald: May I speak out in
meeting and bear testimony to at
least one wholesome influence or
vaudeville? I have discovered such
fascinating phase of our city life di-
rectly traceable to vaudeville. 1t is
this: Since Annette Kellerman has
been at the Orpheum the whole city
has gone mad on exercise. That lovely
sermon in flesh has inspired our city
to dazzling deeds of walking, swim
ming and all kinds of fancy f1ips on
land and sea.
Beauty is contagious, and I fancy
not many looked upon that lovely wa
ter sprite without being impelled to
seek the Land of Lost Youth, of ban
ished curves and slender waist lines.
I know of old, fat lads who are hit
ting the trail again, of comfortable,
square matrons who are swimming on
piano stools to reduce their square
ness; whole troops ofs children are
learning the arts of dolphins and flying
fish.
Something very clean and wholesome
and vital has come to stay, and 1t
came through vaudeville.

NEEDED REFORMS

Editor Herald: The following list is
a partial enumeration of the many
reforms, governmental and social, that
are advocated as essential to the
establishment Of justice:
1. Public ownership of public utili-
ties-national, state and municipal.
2. Initiative, referendum and recall
national, state and municipal.
8. Direct election Of all national, state
and local officials.
4. Proportional representation and the
cumulative ballot
5. Direct taxation and home rule
Special privilege, child labor, tariffs,
prohibition, prison reform, graft,
money, conservation, shorter hours-all
await the more fundamental reforms
listed above.
Reformers should recognize that a
foundation must be had before the
superstructure is begun and not get
disgusted because the many social evils
which spring from imperfect political
conditions are not at once abolished.
Communities must first make them
selves free. Then the state can be
reformed. and with the reform of the
state will follow national readjust-
ment.
First of all, the units of state gov
lernment must be given freedom to
reform themselves. They must have
home rule in all matters pertaining to
local affairs. The state should keep
it's hands off in all matters of local
government. We should raise the
money we use and spend it just as we
please. With actual home rule COM
munity can apply every desirable re-
form as an example to other communi-
ties. The reforms instituted by Gal
weston have given hundred cities a
commission" government. The reforms
instituted by Oregon give promise to
make over all our state governments.
In this way we learn to rule ourselves.
HOW long do you suppose Los Angeles
would inflict herself with the present
unjust, humbug, cumbersome method
of taxation If she had home rule?
How long would the people endure the
tariff IL some enlightened community
applied a scientific method of raising
revenue which could be used nation
ally?
These reforms are coming after
MANY years of effort on the part OF
the earnest few to find the way. Let
those of us who so ardentiy desire our
ideal social state partially assist in the
less inspiring labor of laying firm
and enduring foundation.
