WASHINGTON, Feb. 1--(Special Tele-
gram. .)--Representatlve Latta of the Third
Nebraska district put his foot squarely into
a trap today set cunningly. for him by
Chairman Scott Of the agricultural com
mitee. while the agricultural appropriation
bill was under consideration.
The section Of the bill relating to appro-
priatlons by states for the forest service
was Under consideration, Nebraska coming
In for an appropriation OF $4,000. Mr.. Latta
saw a chance TO mi xa little medicine for
himself and incidentally take a fall out of
the committee, and he proceeded to tell the
house in committee of the whole that the
appropriation for Nebraska was useless
waste of money Trees would not grow
when transplanted and the service was
hardly worth while.
Latin Takes Bait.
Chairman Scott halted Mr. Latta, and said
that IL the representative from Tekamah
would make motion to strike out the
provision as to Nebraska he would sup
port 1t. Latta made the notion and then
the fun began. Representative Norris
Jumped into the arena and opposed the mo-
tion on general principles. He said II
wasn't right to make an example Of Ne
braska. The forest service was trying to
grow trees on waste places, and he be-
lieved great good would grow out of the
experiments being carried on.
Judge hinkalu, IN whose dlstrlct the eN-
periments are being made emphaticaly
told the mouse that instead OF being rail-
ure the experiments We're successful ana
ne thought the ettorts OF MS colleague TO
knock Out an Appropriation which could net
neip put De oeneficiai 70 the state was play
ing politics with vengeance
