National Forests In California 70 per cent Of
the total area lies beyond the limit of travel
time from roads that is needed for safe-hour
control. The Selway National Forest in Idaho,
with an area as large as i've average Iowa
counties has only A miles Of road.
Forest Service records show that the per-
eentage Of large fires has decreased CONSISTENTLY
with the extension Of road and trail systems.
Adequate detection and communication
systems also are considered vital to effective
hour control, says Maj. Kelley Of the Forestry
Service. The national forests of the four
Western districts studied need 1850 more
miles Of telephone line and 785 more lookout
towers than now provided. At the present rate
it viii take nine and one-half years to COM
plete the necessary telephone system.
The average national forest fire guard now
attempts to protect $4,000 acres, or A square
miles Of forest Sufficient manpower is needed,
according to Maj. Kelley to bring this average
down by at least 10000 acres. The four dis
tricts at present employ total Of 2,223 regular
fire guards during the fire season. To bring
the manpowef up to the requirements Of
adequate hour control will require 1863 adj
ditional guards or q total Of 1892.

Forests Need More Protection.

THE tremendous extent of the forest fires Of
the past year, fires that received casual
mention from time 70 time in the news and q
little more prominent play when lives seemed
endangered, may best be shown In the actual
statistics Of the fires. The permissible burnt
could be burned without endangering the pro-
duction Of timber to the point Of shortage Is
about acre In 500 year, yet last year acre
in 81 was burned.
In the sections Of the national forests In the
North Rocky Mountain district, which are not
restocked after hres the amount Of denuded
land has increased in 20 years from 100000
acres to 1905 acres.
The extent Of this loss has sped the endeavors
OF the Forest Service to bring about the safe
hour control system In the forests. This
system requires that every portion Of the
forests must be accessible within a fixed time
so that any given fire may be snuffed of
before it attains damaging size.
Big fires can nearly always be halted II
attacked soon enough. BY the safe-hour
system roads, trails, detection and communica.
ton systems together with greater manpower
and proper equipment and transportation
would always be available to spread the warn
ing and start the fire-fighting within a short
time of the outbreak Of the FIRE.
With the present re-protection facilities {.
total Of 42,s64,oO acres, or 81 per cent Of the
total national forest area of the four Western
districts is not provided with adequate hour
control. This huge area without sufficient fire
protection is in the aggregate one-third larger
than the State Of Louisiana or slightly larger
than the State Of Washington In the northern
district Sc per cent of the total area lacks
provisions for hour control, in the inter-
mountain district IS per cent; in the California
district, 76 per cent, and in the North Pacific,
go per cent
One essential IN the establishment of safe
hour control is a system Of roads and trails
that will make all areas quickly accessible.
study just completed shows that in four
Western districts total of 17,757,331 acres
or an area one-half the size of Iowa or three
times the size of New Hampshire, is stin with
out roads and trails 1t is estimated that
1895 miles Of trails alone are stin needed in
the four districts TO complete the requirements
for hour control.
An adequate road system allows the motor
ization Of national forest fre-flghting organi-
zation and provides rapid service to the trails
in the rougher regions. In the Northern Rocky
Mountain district 16 per cent of the total
national forest area lies to 40 hours travel
time away from the nearest existing road.
Similar conditions prevail IN the other Western
district.

A FTER all, the Federal authorities and the
Mcknight episode furnished only one act
In the continuous performance which has been
going on in Berkeley County for the last seven
br eight years.
Gov. John G. Richards, a piouS man, has pro-
0uced several good laughs. He is the man who
three years ago gained Nationwide fame by
diving into the musty statute books Of South
Carolina and resurrecting a Sunday blue law
passed before the year 100. He placed q ban
on Sunday golf and sale Of gasoline and for
several Sundays he had golfers lodging con-
stables and motorists filing their tanks over
che week end until the courts came to the
rescue and granted injunctions against enforc-
ing the ancient law. Gov. Richards is an ardent
prohibitionist. He advocates Furnishing the
buyer Of whisky along with the seller. There
fore, Hell Hole Swamp, exuding an aroma Of
spirituous liquors which reeked throughout the
Southeast, was a stencil in his nostrils.
Berkeley County is fostering sore in South
Carolina" he said and he cudgeled his brain
to f1nd a cure for that Ubiquitous spot. Not only
the bootleggers irritated the governors sense Of
the fitness Of things. There were county Of
ncers, too, who were leaving undone things
which they ought to have done, and they were
HOing things which they certainly ought not to
Rave done. w. e. woodward, a deputy sheriff,
was giving away seized whisky to his friends,
The governor heard, and straigtway he called
b hearing in the capital at Columbia. Many
things came out at that hearing, but the most
amusing was that the governor himself had
0nwitttngly been the means Of transporting
whisky across the State. The governors SON
an-law 1t was testified, was one of those whom
woodward had favored with his gifts, and the
deputy testified that he had placed four gal
Ions in the governors 'cafV%fen he was return

hitting that he "took . drink" on occasions.
Sheriff Ballentine boldly told the governor that
he had no right to eject an oficer elected by
the people Of the county and appealed to the
courts against the executive order The SUI

did have the power and ordered Ballentine and

radio station wFBM Monday night.
The funds required to support
the Coffin machine are extracted
from the taxpayers of Marion coun-
ty and transferred to holders Of
jobs, who in turn pay tribute to the
Coffin organization charged the
jurist.
Through control of the county
commissioners, a majority Of the
county council, the sheriff, the judge
of the criminal court and the county
clerk, the Coffin machine is rem
dered invincible."
Reading from the county flnan-
cial records, Remster said: The
taxpayers have paid an increase of
almost a million dollars in the cost
Of county government since 1925.
None of this tax-raised money,

which totaIed in excess Of $4,000, 900
in 1880, has been used for perma-
nent improvements, but all such
improvements have been made by
borrowed money through sale of
longtime bonds.
He pointed out that the "stagger-
ing sums collected by the Coffin ring
amounts to expenditures of $4,000
for each working day, or $1,000 for
every daylight hour in each work
ing day Of the year.
THE Coffin machine has been so
insistent on more money that new
jobs have been created and old jobs
increased to the extent of approx
mately 100000.

exceeds 100000 and the interest
on this sum is more than $500, 900. "

Expenditures in the sheriff's

Trade Follows Communications

The New Zealander, ]. B. Condfe, was telling
the london school of economics Of the tremendous
changes that have come this little world OF
ours in the last few years.
TWO major facts, he said, have brought ne"
and fateful equilibrium into the world IN the last
generation, facts which viii become increasingly I'M
uortant in the years which lie Immediately ahead
The first fact, said he, is that both the united
States and Canada are looking westward across the
Pacific rather than eastward the Atlantic as
they have been doing in the past.
And the second fact is that the great nations OF
the orient Japan China and the populous coun-
tries farther SOUTH being inocuated with modern
ideas-deas of industrialsm and higher standards OF
living

America and the Far East no longer can afford 10

Soon vast fleets of merchant ships should be plying
the Pacific in numbers which even the Atlantic never
has known.
Much. however. depends upon the sort of COM
rnunications we have between the Far East and
America. Population follows the railroad into new
territory not the railroad people Similarly, trade
follows communication. Trade quickly picks up along
lines of rapid and cheap cable and radio facilities

Cigaret Prohibition

II is hard to decide whether to laugh or to weep
over the news from Oregon that the state at the
November election will vote on a proposed constl-
tutional amendment to ban cigarets. The measure
would make illegal the manufacture and sale OF Gig
arets or cigaret materials well as their purchase
or possession.
That some of our fellow citizens are not content
to prohibit the use of liquor in supposedly free
country but desire to extend prohibition to tobacco
short skirts Sunday sports, unorthodox books and
plays and anything else which they themselves do
not approve, is understandable.
Some persons are like that. Quite sincerely they
feel that it is their duty to interfere with the rights
of others and force others to conform to their re-
ligious moral and political views.
What astounds is not their desire to estah-
lsh such repressive dictatorship over the United
States but their abiding faith that their desire can
be carried out.
We had supposed that the prohibition enforce
