PROCLAIMS FOREST
 CONSERVATIVE WEEK
(By Onited F ress i,

Washington, April 21.-Forest fires during the five years ending 1920 de- vastated an area much greater in ex- tent than that occupied by the New England states, and occasioned loss of more than $85,O0O,OOO. Because the destruction of our forests by fire spells disaster unless the rate of burn ing is materially checked, Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, has written the governors of all states re- questing their cooperation in the na- tion-wide observance of forest protec- tion week, May P to 28, recently pro- claimed by President Harding. In this letter MT. Wallace urges the gov ernors to set apart this week for the purpose of such educational and in- structive exercises as shall bring to the people the serious effects of the present unnecessary waste by forest fires.

KU KLUX TO COMPEL
 ENEMIES FACE COURT
(Rv Tinted Pressl

Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-With ap- propriation of fund of $10,000 with which to fight it's enemies who are seeking to stab it in the back and with the creation of special depart ment to handle this phase of it's work, the Knights of the ku kluX klan, ac- cording to Col. William J. Simmons, imperial wizard, today put under way nationwide campaign against slan- derous attacks upon the organization and misrepresentation as to it's aims, purposes and activities which are be- ing circulated throughout the country by individuals and organizations through newspapers and in other ways
 While it has no quarrel With honest critics who do not fancy the Ku Klux Klan, Colonel Simmons announc- es that his organization is determined to put an end to malicious islanders of the order, or spend every dollar in the treasury in the attempt.
 It is announced that officials of the ku klux klan have set aside a fund of S10,000 as a starter to cover the expenses of department created e5- peclally to investigate attacks on the klan and to prosecute those who mis- represent it. This department will be in charge of the best men that can be obtained and will have the advice and assistance of the most capable legal talent. False news reports concern ing the activities of the Ku Kluk Klan and it's aims and purposes quite re- gently have been the basis for numer- ous editorials and special articles which have foully slandered the or ganization and it's membership, off cials of the klan declare, and they as- sert 1t is their purpose to bring to the bar of justice the parties respon- sible for these outrageous islanders.

 We'll, New Home, We agree with
 you on the good road question. Every
 burden of taxation falls upon the
 shoulders of the consumer, and nine
 tenths of it resting upon the the tiller of the soil, the man that feeds and clothes the world. Whether it be in- come tax or a small war revenue, we
 that consume, pay the debt. The man in business has more money to- day than any time in the history of the world Why? Because we pay the debt of taxation. He raises the price of his goods and increases the source of his revenue thereby. When Representative Herring wanted to leave the good roads to a vote of the people, Senator Hartje declared his belief in the unconstitutionality of the bill, inasmuch as contracts were let and construction had begun. We don't see where there could be any thinp lrc,r.4 ilti+iDna1 in alloyvirCr he people the rights of franchise on a question of so vital importance, es- pecially if, as he claims, great ma jority are in sympathy with the good roads. Senator Hartje knew that if he left it to vote of the people that they would vote it downa It's just as unconstitutional to begin construc- tion without our consent as it is to discontinue construction by our con- sent. Hear the language of the Dec laration of Indeepndence: We hold these truths to be self-eyident, that all men are created free and equal, that they are endowed by their Gre ator, with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Govern ments are instituted among men de- irving their just powers from the con- sent of the governed" Has the gov erned any voice in the good roads? say no. It's an unjust statute, not an unjust law, for it is impossible to

make an unjust law. Statutes that are corrupt and unjust are not law. All law is based upon the Divine prin- ciples of equity and justice to all. We challenge Senator Hartje, by the Declaration of Independence and Di- vine law to prove that vote on the good roads is unconstitutional. The law of greed, compulsion and graft, is the ruling element in modern politics, and we, the producer cry out for the rights of franchise on all questions. It's ours by Divine right, it's ours by the constitution and it's ours by the great constructive elements of nature.

but nevertheless the situation in this

cessary to offset the loss in the win
