NATIONAL FOREST RANGES TO
 BE STOCKED TO FULL CAPACITY

Albuquerque, N. M., May 9.--In order to increase the supply of beef, mutton, wool, and leather, the Forest Service is cooperating with the State Councils of Defense of Arizona and New Mexico by making plans to stock to the fullest capacity the National Forest ranges of these states. Graz ing specialists of the Forest Service estimate that in the sixteen forests of these two states there are about 400,- 900 acres of unoccupied grazing land and considerable area that is only partially stocked and that by the building of trails, the development of stock watering facilities, and the con struction of drift fences, room could be made for 90,O0O more sheep and goats and 10000 more cattle.
 "The conditions which this country is facing" the Forester states, "are such that it is believed we should re- adjust our range allotments with a view to grazing every single domestic animal the ranges will carry"
 Forest officers state that where in- creases can be made they will be all lowed first to regular users of the range, but that any surplus remaining after this demand is met will be granted to outside applicants.

GUARDS MAY DRILL
 IN TOWN WITH GUNS

The question has been raised as to whether the state statutes would per init the home guards to parade the town streets while armed with guns. Section 4011 seemingly prohibits such parading.
 Capt Rollins of Williams cores bonded with Governor Campbell to see if permission might not be ob- tained for the guards to march through the streets bearing their guns. The Governor responded to the inquiry as follows:
 My Dear Mir. Rollins:
 Your favor of the twenty-fifth in stant is just received, and I hasten to assure you that you will be all right in going ahead with the organization of the Home Guard, as other cities are doing.
 "The Adjutant General informs me that Section 4011, Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1913, is being ignored throughout Arizona by the cities and towns which have organized similar bodies for home protection, and that unless unfair use is made of these companies, no objection will be made.
 Yours very sincerely,
 THOS. E. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of Arizona.

Ii campaign when the votes
of the one time wander
ing progressives were wanted
by the old guard for Mr.
Hughes there was nothing too
sweet for them to say about
the bull moose. The words Of
endearment extended to the
boilers of 1912 was one of the
marveIs of the campaign.
At various times it was sug-
gested by the Wilsonites that
there was something suspici-
GUS in the G. o. P. honey. This
theory has since been fulfilled
by the manner in which the re-
publican national committee
has been made up. The reor-
ganization of the committee
has highly displeased the pro-
gressive end with the result
that George w. Perkins is COM
planning to the skies.

Iassemblage will get turbulent at

( days have passed is Indicated by por-
tentious rumblings.
Truth is. the best capacity for
floor leadership has been developed
hy another man who doesn't get
drunk-the redoubtable George c,
Brownell of Clackamas county.
BrowneIl has superlative ability as

that have elapsed since he retired

sessions in the state senate. He is
now an old war horse. but the smell
iof battle makes his nostrils twitch
and his ears stand erect.

He talks to the new members like a
kind father, who wants to see them

they drop their bones?
Some more who do not get drunk
are:
Thomas of Jackson county is dem

Crandall of Malheur county made
the best speech of the session so far
brief eloquent impressive-but he
doesn't seem to be in anyone's camp
and his influence aside from that one
effort has not appeared.
Burdick of Central Oregon and
Ritner of Umatilla are clear headed

voices are weak.
Eaton of Lane has been ominously
quiet.

active and influential as one outside

who is a real leader on the floor

This somewhat startling question

legislative sessions and so far as

Not many Of the legislators set
drunk this year, although little un-
seemly convivality has been in evil

freely somewhat impaired their ca

painfully evident.

fication for parliamentary efficiency

a way that will reflect credit on all

Conspicuous evidence Of capacity
for this kind of leadership has been
somewhat lacking as yet on the part
of the inside steerers. Not that any
very bad knots have been tied, but
things do not hitch as well as they

It really is from the opposition

so far has sprung. There's Bean OF

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Representa-
tive Hehlln, Alabama, today demanded
immediate appointment Of a House
committee, before which he can de-
nounce members OF Congress. who, in
his opinion, have acted dsloyally.
In an impassioned speech he men,
toned the names Of Senators La Fol-
lette and Representative Britten and
Mason, Illinois; Baer, North Dakota,
and Norton, North Dakota, and
asked an investigation so he could as
certain II there were any connection
between their conduct in Congress and
the $4,000 Bernstorff slush fund.
He also said that he would not be
satisfied to have Speaker Clark name
the members OF the proposed commit
tee, but would insist that the House
elect. He accused the Speaker Of I'M
fairness to him at recent House ses-
sion where he was hooted when he
failed to substantlate alleged charges
Of members receiving money by gam
bling.
When Britten went to the rules COM
mittee, where the speech was made, to
find II definite charges had been made
against him. he was informed that the
stenographic record would not be made
public until Helm has been given an
opportunity TO revise It.
Before this Congress is over Heflin

bers whom he regards as unsympa-
thetic with the government.
He preferred, he said, committee
before which TO make his charges,
but II one were not named he deter

fore Congress itself.
At the coming investigation he prom
ised he would show the relationship, II
any, between the Kalsers spy system
and the bills by Mason, Illinois, to re-
