Progressive republican newspapers
should not be led away from the pres
dental issue in a hunt for candidates
for state office. North Dakota never
before had the chance to speak so loud
ly in a presidential campaign and the
opportunity for united action is more
than the discussion of local candidates
for this or that office. This is true of
papers of whatever political persuasion.
The states opportunity to speak in be-
half of such men as LaFollette, Wilson
Clark or Folk is worth more than all
the state offices put together-until the
presidentialsissue is settled. Let's give
personal ambitions a rest and try to
help the country a bit.-Fargo Courier

Cooperative Forest Fire Protection.
Under the terms Of the Weeks law
passed by congress- last winter several
states have entered into cooperative
agreements with the United States de-
partment Of agriculture providing for
the expenditure by the government of
a sum not exceeding $4,000 in any one
state during next year toward meeting
the expenses Of forest fire protection.
Among the states first to take advan-
tage of this new law are Maine. New
Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey and
Wisconsin. Each state agrees to ex-
pend in this work an amount equaling
that contributed by the national gov
ernment.
The state authorities are required to
submit a definite plan showing in de-
tail exactly what it is proposed to do.
There is to be an organized and eff
fective system of administration by
state officers. The funds of the federal
SONSlullCIl Will DC uSCu SURELY lOF
paying patrolmen, who are to be Sc
lected by the state Off Gals, subject to
the approval of the department of ag-
riculture.
The basic idea is that efficient fire
protection can be given only by the
development of a carefully worked
out. well manned and capably differed
scheme. which studies the situation
beforehand and makes provision for
the most effective disposal and use Of
the available forces. with a view both
to preventing fires from getting start
ed and concentrating upon them quick
ly if they do get started.
Indications are that the states gen.
orally will take advantage Of this gov
ernmental proposition. In that event it
is highly probable that the annual
losses from forest fires will be reduced
to a minimum.

"For many years." says IN editorial
writer in the Pittsburg Press. 1.-The
parcels delivery at the hands of the
express companies has been q means
of systematized plunderins. 1t is esti-
mated that they collect yearly not less

remuneration for the service rendered.
The postal department has ready to

There is evident on every hand q

giving the public a more equitable ex'
