Importance of
Forest Conservation
United States Forest Service Lee.
turer Urges Better Fire
Protection for Forests.

Speaking before a gathering that
included many students from the
high school and from the grades, II.
n. Wheeler. United States Forest
Service lecturer, stressed the i'm
portance of forest conservation in
an address at the Rivoli theatre
Tuesday forenoon.
He pointed out the particular value
of protecting forest and cut-over
lands from fire Fire protection. 50
he said rs 900 of the problem Of
forest restoration. Young trees
must be protected from fire if they
are ever going to grow up TO com
mercially valuable size. The
ordinary so-called "brush" land is
nothing more or less than a mass Of
young trees and "brush" fires are
doing an immense damage in Wis
consin each year in the destruction
of potentially valuable forest growth.
No fire should be permitted on any
land in the state unless it is for a
distinctly beneficial purpose, and
when so set should be confined to the
property on which it is started and
not allowed to run across the
country"
He appealed to all citizens to be
constantly on guard to prevent
destructive fires, especially during
dry seasons, and pointed out the
particular responsibility of settlers
in clearing land. railroad section men
and highway construction workers in
clearing rights of way to confine
their fires to their own property.
Mr., Wheeler also advocated the
adoption of the amendment to the
state constitution that is to be voted
on at the November election, per-
hitting the state to actively
participate in restoring the timber
resources of Wisconsin. "This
amendment" he said, will enable
Wisconsin to adopt a constructive
forest policy. At present this is
unconstitutional, because forestry
practice by the state has been de
clared a work of internal improve
ment and all works of internal i'm
provement are prohibited by the
constitution. The proposed amend
ment which will authorize the state
10 acquire, preserve and develop the
forests of Wisconsin, is an enabling
oct OF itself it does not appropriate
Jas. dollar, but paves the way for
forest policy as may be approved
by the legislature from session TO
session. 1t will take years before
this policy is substantially completed,
but without the approval of this
amendment nothing constructive can
ever be started 1t is the first step
in the building up of the timber
resources Of Wisconsin which have
been badly dissipated."
Mr. Wheeler stated it was the
opinion of all foresters that private
enterprise in forest restoration
should be encouraged as far as pos
sible, but said that the very nature
of tree growth made it imperative
that the state and nation also take a
hand in such restoration. and that
the time was here when a sound
policy for Wisconsin should be
started.
Mr.. Wheeler's talk was illustrated
with beautifully colored slides He

Plank on Klan-

Under the heading liberty OF
conscience" the platform contains
the following declaration:
I'VE are opposed to the Ku Kluy
Khan or any organization that would
deny to any citizen the free exercise
of the sacred rights because of race.
nationality, language or religious
belief. The evident purpose of the
Khan and every other secret political
organization is to disorganize and
disrupt the harmonious development
and existence of economic organiza-
tons or workers and farmers"
Of Governor Blaine's administra-
ton, the platform said
I'VE unqualifiedly indorse and ap-
prove the administration of Governor
John j. Blaine as under his admin
istration Wisconsin has enjoyed the
benefits of honest progressive gov
eminent in which all the people of
the state have shared. We com
mend Governor Blaine's fearless
and wise use of the veto power for
protection of the people. Through
his appointments the several state
departments have become efficient.
We approve and indorse his fearless
and conscientious determination to
protect the constitutional rights and
liberties of the people"
Against PLUS"
Adoption of the child labor, initia-
tive and referendum, conservation
and home rule amendments were
favored, continuation of opposition
to the so-ealled pittsburgh plus"
system, opposition to national branch
banks and curtailment of highway
expenditures were other provisions.
A plank submitted by Senator II,
]. Severson calling for legislative
investigation of alleged corruption
in the state capitol was defeated in
the platform committee as was
proposal by Senator John Schuman
calling for designations of legislative
members who are appointed to state
positions.
The efforts of Coolidge supporters
to obtain Endorsement of the nation
al Republican ticket got no further
than the minority report. The only
open clashes in the convention were
on the adoption of Coolidge electors
as suggested by Governor Blaine and
on the adoption Of the majority and
minority platforms.
An even hundred convention men,
bers answered roll call when the
session opened.
Robert NJ. Ia Toilette, Jr., was re-
elected chairman Of the state central
committee at the conclusion of the
convention. Reports had been
widely circulated that young La Fol-
lette would not accept the post again
but La Toilette leaders submitted
his name.

Picturesque days Of the early cir
cuit courts are described by Frederic
]. Haskin in The American Govern
ment." In the early days OF the fed
eral courts II was customary for
Judges TO travel on horseback from
one place Of holding court TO another.
This. he explains. was called riding
the circuit.
At times the attorneys in cases to
come before the court would aC COM
pany the judge. on one occasion
Judge Blank was making one of these
trips and was accompanied by the
attorney for the plantiff and the at
torney for the defendant. They had
some distance to go, so :he lawyers
argued their cases as they rode along
and the judge rendered II decision.
Just as he finished stating his de-
cision the horse stumbled and nearly
fell. Whereupon the attorney who
lost the case said: NO wonder the
horse stumbled; it's surprisin:s ne
