NEED URGENT FOR
TREE PROTECTION
BY M. z. Anderson. GIendsIe

WDat arc we to do about our de-
nRded river banks? The living tree.
that protect the banks OF our Arizona
= waterways. Without these trees the
$ water cuts the loose sandy loan Of
our best and richest tracts Of land
Wnlch after a few floods is a shred

Ihis ruthless waste has been going
on for several years, ever since the
nigh cost of fuel made it worth while
TO go wood gathering. The wood
satherers have passed from that le-
gitlmate activity Of gathering dead. OF
drift wood, to the cutting of any and
all living trees.
The bigger and finer the tree, the
more surely it is doomed
1t is not the man with a rickety
wagon With one horse. that we must
now contend with. but the we'll
equipped wood cutter.
In former times floods have been
aess damaging and dangerous. as the
VERY washes were lined on either side
with scrubby trees and brush. with
now and then the big branchy tree
that is Invaluable for shade on the
desert land Today there are scarce
ly any Of these to be found.
Gave Creek and Skunk Greek are
pertinent examples OF the ruin the
wood chopper brings TO the creek
banks when the flood tide comes.
Along stretches where the trees are
left the flood passes over the banks
without washing and cutting away
the soil. The tree roots form a nat
ural barrier against the water. so
that the banks may overflow without

Especially should that part of the
country which is formed into irri-
cation districts be protected. where
in few years farmers will be busy.
The land now denuded of its trees,
in most cases is land that has been
patented under great hardships. Such
as homesteads. reclaimed desert land
etc.
These people cannot remain on
their lands all the time as there is no
production. they however, are the
pioneers of progress. waiting and
working until such arrangements may
be made by which their land may be-

pose the great Salt River valley.
Is il right that they should be
stripped of their most valuable as
sets? we have forest rangers who
ride our mountain sides to protect
the forests. But what protection
has our waterways here?
In this nearby country which sur
rounds Phoenix. Glendale and a
dozen other towns, we surely need
protection. We need sentiment

The very first scene sends forth
the message OF unusualness and

quickly felt after the production gets

Audrey Munson's career has been

VANDEMARK'S FOLLY
Herbert Quick's Novel Of Pio-
neering Is Social History
in Fiction Form

HERBERT lluick has written an epic
of Iowa in 'Vandemark Folly"
(Bobbs- Merrill Company. In a larger
sense 1t Is an epic of the soil, which
happens to be that of Iowa, because Mr..
Quick knows that country best of all.
But with locale changed the tale might
easily, SO far as its spirit and content
60, have been written of any American
area In the pioneering process. And
while, his story Of the conquest of new
territory, does not gloze over the hard
ships OF pioneering and the harshness of
nature, 1t is free from the drastic and
sordid elements that seem to belong to
an Old World treatment, such as Knut
Hamsun would write. for instance.
Mr.. Quick's able narrative empha
sizes the get.up- and-go, the forward
looking, the eternal optimism of the
American pioneer. exemplified in
Vandemark, who fights his way from
the East, backed only by a small legacy,
to property, to position and to opu
ence In the beckoning and rewarding
West. In time his wealth and prestige
increase and his name is given to the
tOwnship-the name of the enterprising
lad who worked his way from rousta-
bOutins on Erie Canal barges to de-
served prominence through taking ad-
N"utuse VI MS opportunities. lie puts
both himself and his name on the man.
The book Is cast in autobiographical
form, which is handled with easy skill.
The descriptive passages are highly pic
torial and the characterization is done
believably, as II from living models. In
deed, the time has not elapsed so far
since Iowa was pioneered but that Mr..
Quick In his earlier career might not
have known just such people as he de-
scribes--courageous, industrious. kind
~ and given to achievement. He has,
In fact, written a fictional counterpart
Of RoOsevelt's winning of the West"
Mr.. Quick knows how to write an
exciting story, as witness his Double

politics Of his theme, too, as his later

IDEPEW's MEMORIES

reason when he lets his memory run
back for eighty years. When young
snan he was elected Secretary Of State
IN New York, and although many at
tempts were made to induce him to ac-
cept Office afterward, he consistently re-
fused until he was finally persuaded to
enter the United States Senate. He had
declined to become Secretary Of State
In the cabinet Of Harrison and he hnd
refused other cabinet posts and diplo-
matte appointments, preferring to re.
tain his connection with the Wander.
bilts and the New York Central Rail-
road Company, which began fifty six
years ago.
He has written separate chapters on
every President from Lincoln to Ro0se-
welt inclusive. The Roosevelt chapter
includes his version Of the story Of the
shifting Of Roosevelt from the governor
ship Of New York to the vice presidency.
He says that the re election Of Roose :
welt as Governor was impossible as he
had offended the party leaders--the pre-
vniling impression Is that Platt was the
party leader whom he had offended and
that Platt wanted to get him out Of the
way-And 1t was decided to make him
Vice President. After Roosevelt had
told the New York delegates to the
Philadelphia convention that he would
not accept the vice presidency. Depew.

ing in order to prevent the delegation

morning Roosevelt consented to take the

Wants to Get on His Feet

v WV 6eNoT !" sHo EVeHsn0 fk0UC Led0er:
Sir-As an ex-soldier of the World
War, I would like to express myself on
the bonus proposition. Why should we
not ask for what is due us? We are
not looking for easy money, or trying to
bankrupt the United States Treasury,
What We want Is q chance to get on our
feet again.
In 1917 was drafted into the army.

porting family of four. ! could have
claimed exemption IL wanted, but like
all true Americans answered the call.
leaving my family to care for them
selves while l served the flag. After
two months at Camp Meade we were
sent to Camp Merritt, N. j., ready 10
sail for France. I could not even get n
pass to 90 home to kiss my folks good :
by, not knowing II I would ever see
them again. But after seventeen months
of torture in the French trenches and
on the river Rhine, I was one Of the
lucky ones to come home again with.

But ! am just as bad off now as ever
was. was lucky enough to get my Job
back, but the pay is small. and while
l was in the army my folks could not
pay the taxes on our home. And then
there were the store bills to be paid.
And all they received was check for
$50 a month, barely enough to keep one,
let alone four people.
. Now. why am in favor Of receiving
bonus is to help me pay up the bills
which we have run up and can't get
ahead of at the present rate of nav.
And what's worse, We are booked for a
cut In our wages, which will throw US
still further back in our bills.
Understand friends, that the only
people opposed to the bonus are those
who did nothing for Uncle Sam but help
10 raise the nag, but who didn't have
the spirit to shoulder a gun like all
true Americans.
