FIRE IN OCALA
NATIONAL FOREST
A Great Misfortune to the Entire
State and Believed to be of
Incendiary Origin

From all the news we can obtain
from across the river, the fire in the
Oca1a National Forest continues 70
burn, and will burn until rain comes
or it burns itself out. This will mean
the destruction on the borders of the
reserve of considerable private prop
erty, as the national forest and wood
land belonging to citizens mingle with
each other in many places. Private
property will not burn so fast, as the
woods are not so dense, and are inter-
spersed in many places with fields;
also the owners have had some time
to guard against the approach of the
fire. For a good many miles, how
ever, the woods not only adjoiu but
interlock; also, the wind carries fire
a long ways and will start new blazes
on private property hundreds of yards
away from that of the government.
From what we hear, great deal
of game has been destroyed or driven
off the reservation. 1t is believed thar
most of the deer have escaped, but
charred bodies of other animals and
birds have been found in many places
that were burned over.
The Star is informed that in ali
probability the fire was set intention
ally by some party or parties who ex-
pected to be called in by the custodian
Of the reserve to fight the fire, and re.
ceive generous government wages ir
return. In this case, they have over
done the matter, and destroyed more
timber than grows in good many
counties, the reserve being over 300,.
1000 acres in extent. If this allegation
be true, and it is made by well in.
formed people, the incendiaries shoult
be and probably will be severely pun
ished, as it is felony to destroy gov
ernment property. and it is more thar
likely government agents will soon bt
here to investigate the matter.

of our work and its influence con-
tinually crops out unexpectedly. For
instance, recent studies made in
connection with the spread Of ven
oreal diseases have shown that
feeble mindedness is an important
factor in prostitution. Again, work
of the U. S. Public Health Service
in connection with juvenile courts
shows that a marked proportion of
juvenile delinquency is traccable to
some degree of mental deficiency

GRANGE VIEWS
ON TAXATION

The National Grange, in session
at Boston, adopted resolutions bear
ing on taxation which deserve at
tention. The resolutions state
I'VE favor the enactment Of a
law that will secure a fair and
equitable taxation of bank property,
whether personal or real, upon the
basis that other property is taxed.
For state and national purposes
we favor an adequate and equitable
system of income and inheritance
taxes as source of permanent in
come.
Excess profits, luxury and exer-
else taxes afford just and equitable
methods of meeting unusual gov
ernmental expenses.
"All taxes should be levied so as
to encourage home owning and to
discourage speculation and tenan-
try, so far as sound public policy
will permit.
"The grange opposes a general
sales tax because IN effect it is a
consumption tax and adds an I'M
fair burden to all purchasers with
out references to their ability to
pear Ihe ADDED burden.
This program is far from being
altogether clear, and to the extent
that it is cellar, is not altogether
sound Such expressions as flair
and equitable" adequate and equit-
able" and Just and equitable" are
practically meaningless so long as
there is nothing to show what these
farmers consider the proper prin-
ciple to which all taxation should
conform. Probably no banker will
dispute-in public at least - that
there should be "a fair and eauit-
able taxation of bank property
upon the basis that other property
is taxed. Nevertheless it is also
probable that there would be a
very wide divergence of opinion be-
tween the Grange and a Bankers
Association concerning the provis-
ions of a law designed to tax bank
property. If the Grange holds
that in order to be equitable, pro-
posed taxes should not fall on anv
income or property honestly earned
by the recipient or holder, then it
stands on solid ground. If it would
levy heavy taxes on unearned in
comes and on the Value of property
not rightfully owned by the holder
of title therto, then it is on the
right track. Taxation so levied
would not only be fair, but would
be a boon to the working farmer
and all other wealth producers.
The Grange is both clear and cor
rect IN its opposition to the sales
tax. 1t offers a sound objection
that such tax adds an unfair
burden on all purchasers. 1t is
strange that it does not see that
The same applies to every tax levied
ON labor or labor products.
The endorsement of taxes to en-
courage homecoming and discour-
age speculation must either mean a
land value tax or nothing at all.

OF dwellings and of everything that
goes into them must be reduced

Public Health And
Dependent Classes

That more than $4,000 men, wo-
men and children outGof total pop
ulation of 5000 are dependents,
delinquents, or feeble minded and
are unable either to work or fight
and are a constant drain on the
finances, health and morality of
the State is the startling result
brought out by a survey conducted
in Oregon. Moreover, more than
500 school children out of a total
school enrolled population of 49,
500 were found to be more or less
mentally deficient, a fact which is
of much significance when it is
remembered that the condition of
the children of today is the best
possible index to the condition of
the community of tomorrow and
indeed to the future of the race.
The figures yielded by the Ore
gon survey are considerably lower
than the average shown by the
draft examination, fact that in
dlcates, in the opinion of the U. S.
Public Health Service officers, that
they are certainly not higher than
those that would be obtained by
is considered greatly to Oregon's
credit that it has been one of the
first states to realize the import
ance of the problem and to take
effective steps toward ascertaining
the exact facts concerning it.
The survey was authorized by the
Oregon legislature and was carried
out by the University of Oregon in
collaboration with DR.. C. L. Car
Isle of U. S. Public Health Ser
vice.
"The making of the survey" said
Surgeon General H. G. Cumming.
was not an easy task, for in Ore
gon, as IN many other states, COM
paratively few of the types involved

The rest are widely scattered and

listed volunteers, largely among the

THE CONSERV ALTON
OF OUR FORESTS

Much has been written and said
concerning the conservation of
American Forests, but little has been
done for fear of shortening the in
comes of private interests.
True Congress has made laws for
the preservation of forests and for
reforestation, but has shown con-
temptible parsimony when max
ing appropriations to enforce those
laws. Those laws have been en-
forced with rigor when men of
small means or mOneylesS men vio-
late them, but little is done to pun
ish the rich for infraction of con-
gressional acts to conserve our for
estS. This has become the rule
with about all our laws.
However lax, law enforcement is
not at all to blame for failure of
conservation and protection of the
forests and reforestation. Congress
mas not provided sufficient pay to
employ competent men in the forest
service, as witness the following
from Mr. A. Wycoff, Secretary
Treasurer of Federal Employees
Union No. 1875, of Ogden, Utah.
in the past two years, Secretary
Wycoff states, over 700 Forest Ser
vice employees, or nearly one-fOurth
the entire personnel of the Forest
Service, have resigned. Among
these, over 400 were men and wo-
men most highly qualified and thor
oughly trained. Mr.. Baker of the
Society of American Foresters, in
his appeal to the business men, de-
clared that the great majority of
these employees have been forced
out one after another because they
could no longer, in justice to their
families and to themselves, continue
to work for the meager salaries
paid in public service-often less
than the sheep-herder, ow-puncher,
ranch-hand or common laborer, who
handle the stock and whose work the
Forest Ranger supervises in his Of
fetal capacity.
1.-The remedy, lies not in sweep
ing increases in the Government
payroll, but rather in scientific
survey of employment conditions in
the service, a reclassification of en-
ployees by logical groups or grades,
establishment of new positions and
higher salaries where necessary
minimum and maximum salaries for
each grade, and a logical plan of
advancement within and between
grades.
Hundreds of Forest Service and
other employees have joined the
union as a means of bringing before
Congress in the most forceful way
the need of law reclassifying the
United States Civil Service"
The day will come when there
will be much regret that the gov
eminent has done little to con-
snrvn itS fnrncte
