Judge Pugh of Dickinson, in
Decision Here, Says He
May Quit in N. d.
NEW APPEAL is TAKEN
Supreme Court Immediatel,
Is Asked to Overrule
: Judges Decision
The Supreme Court
late tOda y affirmed
Judge Pugh's decision.
This means LaFOllette's
name will not 60 on the
ballot.

District Judge Thomas Pugh of
Dickinson here today decided that
Robert M. LaFollette's name should
not go on the March l8 presidential
primary ballot. Immediately attor-
ney for R. A. Kinzer, seeking to keep
LaFollette's name on the ballot, serv-
ed notice of an appeal to the supreme
court and that request would be
made Of the court to hear the appeal
today.
The alternative writ of mandamus,
issued by District Judge F. T. Lembke
in the Morton district court directing
the secretary Of state to incorporate
LaFollette's name with other candi-
dates for the presidency, was quash-
ed by Judge Pugh. His decision fol-
lowed hearing in Mandan last
night.
Judge Pagh, announcing his deci-
sion verbally, held that sufficient
proof that LaFollette is candidate
for the presidency had not been pro-
duced by attorneys for r. A. Kinzer
seeking to keep LaFollette's name on
the ballot as contemplated by sec
tion 80 of the code, that even
though the statute does not provide
a r.ethod for withdrawal yet a man
has control over his own candidacy
to some extent and may withdraw
that the Secretary of State acted in
good faith in striking LaFollette' 5
name from the ballot; on the order
Of LaFollette.
Judge Pugh heard the case in
Mandan last night after Judge Lemb-
6e had been ordered to hear it i'm.
mediately or to get another judge.
- Appeal Is Heard
The supreme court heard argu.
ments of Attorneys General, Shafcr
Joseph Coghlan and F.. o. Hellstrom
n the appeal from Judge Pugh's de-
, cision, continuing the arguments
through the usual noon hour recess
and the court is expected to formu-
late its decision during the after.
noon.
There is danger now, according ia
Secretary of State Hall, that delay
in printing the ballots would make it
impossible for some country pre-
cincts to be reached should a severe
torn tie up road traffic for two or
three days.
Record Time Made
The disposition of the case is be-
lieved to make record. Judge
Pugh heard arguments I'M Maadan
last night. He gave his decision
here about 1890. Appeal papers
were filed Immediately and soon the
supreme court granted the appeal
and set aiihearing, continuing argu-
;nents after noon, completing them
about 1880 p. m.
Today was the third time the case
had been before the supreme court
within few days.

Washington, Mar. 7.-Department
of Justice officials had before them
today demand from the house that
they disclose the names of the two
representatives charged in a Chicago

The house acted unanimously late
yesterday after leaders had learned
that the grand jury to be assemble
here to investigate these and other
charges in the Chicago report could
not be expected to reach conclusion
within month.
Official disclosure of the names, it
was pointed out by Representative
Longworth, the Republican leader,
will serve not only to remove the
suspicion cast upon the entire mem
bership of the house by publication
of the report but would give the ac-
cused an immediate opportunity to

Washington, March THE house
ways and means committee faced the
task Of drafting soldier bonus bill
today with its membership divided
over two propositions.
Rep. Bacharach, Republican, New
Jersey, stood firmly for bill pro-
viding only for paid-up insurance

of both parties were equally deter
mined that an option of full cash
payment be Incorporated.
Chairman Green had planned to
have the bill ready to be reported to
the house by tomorrow but the dis
agreement over it's form is expected
to result in a delay of a day or two
at least.
If the plans now before the COM
mittee fail of adoption Mr.. Green
said he would propose the bill pass
ed at the last session and vetoed by

TIMBER CUT FOUR TIMES
AS FAST AS IT GROWS

Colonel William B. Greeley, chief
of the forest service, department of
agriculture, in his annual report,
states that the annual drain on the
country's forests amounts to 25,000,-
100000 cubic feet, while growth re-
places only 5000, 100000 cubic feet.
In referring to this vast discrepancy
between drain and growth and the ne
cessity for intensive forestry practices
on all forest land, the report says:
"The Investigations conducted dur
ing the year by the select committee
of the United States senate is one of
the most helpful and stimulating steps
the federal government has taken in
attacking the reforestation problem
as whole, and it is disclosing beyond
doubt or question that the time is at
hand for enormous progress in timber
growing if public agencies will give
the landowner a fair chance. This
should be our first step in our nat
ional forestry policy"
More timber was cut from the nat
ional forests during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1923, than ever before
in similar period, and the receipts
paid into the United States treasury
The Coconino sun., 1924-02-29

were greater than for any previous
year, according to the report. The
amount of timber cut totaled 991, J.
982, 900 board feet; the amount sold
was over 100000, 900 feet. Sales of
timber on the national forests are
made only with care to cut no more
timber than the growth in order to
insure perpetual supply.
The increase in timber sales from
the Alaskan forests during the fiscal
year was 73 per cent over the prev
ious year. One of the factors affect
ing the volume of timber business in
the national forests is the continued
westerly migration of forest indus
tries from the depleted timber regions
of the east, and this is reflected in
sales of timber from the western for
ests.
Fires within the boundaries of the
national forests swept 373,214 acres
| during 1928, it is reported, and de-
stroyed timber and property valued at
$494, ,965, 900, exclusive of the intang-
ible and indirect damage to young
growth, recreational uses and water
shed protection. This area was near
| ly equal to that burned in 1911, but
the damage was nearly twice as great
because of more serious fires in stands
of merchantable timber. Man-caused
fires again were responsible for over
so per cent of the total.

remained of the tragedy.
