JUST BLAME IT ON YOURSELVES
". G. N. Stone Tells ico|oradons They
Petitioned For FoliEt Reservs and
Mustkot Load on Piachot

So much has been said of late on the
question of the federal forestry plan
and especially has ColoradO's new gov
ernor become particularly active since
his Inauguration in his opposition to
the federal government plan of op
ty, the governing of Colorado appar
emily being ony an incident in the du
entity bein gonly an inc dent in the du-
ties of the new executive, that it m ght
not be amiss for the people to know
That Colorado, represented by its lead
ing citizens, was one of the first states
to petition the federal government to
assume control of the forest lands of
this and other western states. In q
recent letter to the Denver Republican
Mr.. w. q. NJ. otofe, who has been in
terested in Colorado forestry for the
past twenty-five years, gives some in
teresting history on the movement
which a few years ago resulted in tie
establishment by the democratic presi
dent, Grover Cleveland of the forest
reserves which since that time and es
pecialiy during the past few years have
proven such dreadful buabear to somn
of our democratic friends. Mr.. Stone s
letter is as follows:
To the Denver Republican,
few of our citizens are strenuously
opposed to the forest reserve. Some
because it is in ''violation of states
rights;' others say it blocks the prog
ress of the state; that it discoura ges
winning and settlement within our
borders.
The latter class should read Mr.
Graves article in the Outlook of Dec.
%, 1912. He there clearly sets forth
the entire situation embracing every
objection. For the most part these OBJ
jeetions are fabrications to bring dis
credit upon the government. By fre-
quent repetition people come to think
there must be something in the charges
made, but when investigated are, for
the most part. without foundation.
As to Estates rights" no one will
deny that state has the right to care
for the forests within its borders. But
il for any cause it fails then the fed
eral government may come to the help
at the people TO say 's=e government
has NO right to rescue the forests of a
state from fire is void If reason. In
- years the state of Colorado suffered
fire to devastate about $4,000 square
miles Of its forests. Where is the man
who would say that Uncle ean had no
right to meddle in Tie nattefi

This position taken by the leaders
of the Democracy will, no doubt, do
more to make the initiative and refer
endum unpopular than any other one
thing that could happen.
The spirit of the arguments that were
made in favor of direct legislation
principle four years ago was to the
effect that it would give the people the
right to pass op all bills and that it
would give the people the right to pass
on any class of bills. 1t was repeatedly
maintained that under the workings of
the direct legislation principle eorpor
ations and private citizens alike would
have the right to appeal direct to the
people and present their case if they
felt that they had not received square
deal from the Legislature. Not once
during the entire fight that was made
for the direct legislation principle was

Same position that the secretary
treasurer finds himself. today. We
are not particularly worried about
the clerk hire appropriation, or So
called salary increase, but we want
to know just; how organized labor
throughout the state feels about it.
BY all means let us have referen-
dunn vote. We paid from our own
pocket. this week $25 for clerk hire
for ten days labor. We did not have
the nerve to ask the stenographer to
work 80 days for this sum Of money.
The union men of Minnesota should
know that We we're drafted into the
service this year against our own
wishes, and in spite of our protest
against being reelected. We did not
seek the office, neither did we seek
the so-called salary increase. The
convention acted and the delegates
are responsible.
How Opposition Started.
The fight against the clerk hire
appropriation was started by a dele
gate, or at least in the union of, a
delegate, who has long coveted the
office; a gentleman for whom we Ell
tertained the most profound senti-
nents OF respect It would be inter
esting to know. what would have been
his. attitude towards the clerk hire
appropriation had he been chosen sec
retary-treasurer instead of the pres
ent incumbent. = =, - -.
II he or hts friends expect to gain
anythine for themselves by making
this fight they will be welcome to it.
In any event they will find us in the
fight until we. are. shown that the
members Of the federation do. not
want to pay a fair. wage for the serv.
ices they are receiving, and il this
should be the. case we win gracefully
willing and most gladly retire
which. we suspect would be playing
entirely into their. hands. But We
will do it, nevertheless %z=5>~=s'-55 Z: +
