Responsibility on State.
Under the terms Of the cooperative
agreements. the secretary Of agriculture
may terminate the cooperation at any
time that he finds It not to be conduct.
ed in 9 satisfactory manner. IN this
way the responsibility for organizing
and maintaining the work is placed up.
on the state. which, however, must
keep its system up to a good standard
of efficiency In order to have the CO.
operation with the federal government
continued. Forestry officials Of the
department Of agriculture will act as
inspectors to keep the department
informed as to how the states are
handling the work. It is believed that
under this system great advance will
be made in the development Of good
state systems Of fire protection.
In addition to the states with which
agreements have been signed by Sec
rotary Wilson, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut and Maryland have requested
cooperation this year. A number Of
other states have made inquiry con.
corning the possibility Of their. enter
ing into cooperative agreements with
the government, but have found that
they could not do so under the terms
Of the law because their legislatures
have made no provision for expendi-
lures on behalf of the state.

lend dignity to his position. The pur-
pose Of this political party, whose in
fluence was considerable and whose
ramiflcations were many, whose lead
ers were men of experience, was of
course thoroughly well-known.
The conference between these lead
ers and Gormly was short, sharp, and
decisive. It took place In his own
business office. The deputation was
made up of banker named Poole,
who had certain prominence in mu-
nicipal affairs through his connection
with the national committee of the
party to which he belonged, who
was brilliant flnancier, liberal CIV
er; and valuable member Of the OPP
position; Benson the real leader Of
the party, the political boss so far
as the outs had anything to boss; and
Fitchett, an attorney as bright as he
was unprincipled, who aspired to po-
liical preferment himeself.. The
trio met Gormly in his business Office.
Poole was the natural spokesman.

The United States government will

Under the Weeks law passed by the
last congress this is to be dispensed
through the department Of agriculture
under system Of cooperation with

in employing patrols.

States government is giving to the

ters OF the navigable streams. It has
never before given such protection.
Scientists have proved that the stand
ing forests at the head waters Of a
stream affect the flow of water. Con-
gress has just recognized that fact and
has made It possible to give federal
aid to the states that are making an
effort to protect the timber.
Minnesota is perhaps more entitled
to such than any. other state There
are more head waters in this state
than In any other. We have more for

are greater fire risks. We shall use
every bit OF the sum allotted to us by
