Low Fire Loss on National

A loss to the Government of
$162,3 in timber, forage and
young growth was caused by
fires on National Forests in 1916,
according to statistics compiled
by the Forest Service. Although
there was more than the average
number of fires, the loss is the
smallest that has been sustained
from fires since the National For
ests were established. A favor
able season in the regions where
the most severe damage is usu-
ally sustained is given as the
chief reason for the relatively
small loss.
A total of 399, PIT acres of gov
eminent land was burned over.
In addition to this, the fires COW
cred 123,160 acres of privately
owned land in the National For
ests where timber valued at $780,
PA was consumed. About A per
cent of the total area burned was
located in the National Forests of
Arkansas and Florida.

confined to areas of less than 10
acres. Many of these small fires,
according to the Forest Service,
might have developed into SER

iency.
The average cost Of fighting

large audience in the house
chamber, the tax committee held
a public hearing on the bills in
troduced into the senate by Sen
ator Richard Jones Of Duluth,
and several others, and into the
house by Representative Indrehus
and about a dozen more.
These bills materially reduce
taxes on all farm crops, machin-
cry, cattle and household goods !;
all merchandise and fixtures; all
manufacturing material, machin-
cry and finished products; and on
all buildings, structures and i'm
provements in and upon land, in
GLIDING the value of clearing,
drainage and fertilizing.
Former Governor John Lind
made a very vigorous speech in
favor of the general principle in
volved in these bills, and strong
ly urged legislation in this direc-
ton.
He showed how the present sys-
tenn penalties the working farmer
and encourages the speculator in
farm lands; how the city business
man and home owner are fined
by taxation while the owner of
vacant lots is encouraged by low
taxation.
These bills, Governor Lind in
sisted, would relieve the situa-
ton.
The entire hearing was very in
teresting and Governor Lind rose
to a high level Of eloquence and
earnestness when he declared
that we must look at all such
questions in the broad light of
the general good.
"All will be benefited, some
more than others, it is true,'' said
Governor Lind, "but all who la
Dor and produce; all who would
build up and improve, all who
are engaged in useful service,
these will be benefited. Only the
land monopolists will be injured,
and they have no claim to con-
siderat;on. They are employing
no labor, but are preventing en-
ployment by holding lots and
lands at prohibitive price. They
are producing no wealth, but are
preventing others from produc-
ing.
"They are building no homes,
opening no farms, starting no in
dustries, but are hindering and
preventing all these by forestal-
ling the land and holding it out
of use."
Mr.. Armson and Mr.. Lord Of
the Minnesota Tax Commission
strongly favored the principles
Of the bills but pointed out GER
tain practical objections that in
their opinion could easily be over
come.
Senator William A. Campbell
Of Minneapolis told the story of
how he was fined by tax of more
than $50 per year because he
built a bungalow while four va
cant lots lying next to his home,
that in summer were covered with
weeds and unsightly rubbish and
in winter were left with the side
walk covered two feet deep with
snow, were only taxed $40 each.
CHOW isn't this a good way to
encourage home-owning?" asked
Senator Campbell.
Mr.. Marvin of the committee
urged the favorable consideration
of the bills for the season that
they would employ labor and help
the working men.
ga vacant lot employs no
workmen. but force the owner to
he must hire workmen,"
said Mr.. Marvin.
"Higher taxes on vacant lots
will force them into use, set labor
at work, increase the number of
homes and raise the general level
of prosperity
Mr.. Indrehus of the committee
