The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-15

"Hey, Duncy, that's a real mean trick" cried Goldy. "You think you are slick! Why did you have to sneak off in that small boat, all alone?
 "We also like to ride, and know. Please come right back and let us go." "Oh, mo-" replied wee Duncy, in a tantalizing tone.
 "You're always playing tricks on me. I'm getting even. now, you see. I'll ride around an hour or SO. Then may come to shore.
 'In that time I nay grow tired out, and be real glad to quit, no doubt. However, if I still feel good and fresh, I'll row some more"
 '.All right for you," said Dotty. 'T'll remember that you passed me by. Sometime you'll ask favor, but I'll turn you down. You'll seei
 We thought you were a real good friend, but on you we cannot depend" In answer to her shout ing Duncy merely laughed in glee.
 Soon Scouty cried, "oh, look!

He's found an island. It is small and round. I'll bet he's going to land there so that he can take a rest.
 Hes having fun, just teasing us. He just wants us to start a fus, so let's not say another word. I think that will be best"
 So they all sat down on the shore and shortly heard wee Duncy roar. Hey, don't you wish that you were here, out on this little isle?
 "It is a funny place I've found. I'm going to land and walk around. If you behave, I may come back and get you, after while."
 His boat then landed, with a smack. The island was a hippo's back, and both the beast and Duncy got a very sudden scare. The Tinymites heard Duncy cry, and saw the hippo rise up high. In just a moment Duncy and the boat were tossed in air. Copyright 1884 NE AService, Inc) (The Tinies ride the old hippo in the next story.)

high with letters and kilograms Every
last one Of those letters and kilograms
is from a constituent in my district
and every last one demands the re-
monetization of silver Now what do
my constituents know about silver?
But they heard Father Coughlin advo-
cate it in radio address last Sunday,
and presto, they bear down on me.
I'm in a fine pickle. They don't
know what they are talking about
read any of those letters and you will
see they are all balled up on the sub
ject. I don't believe in it. But if it
comes up to a vote this session, I have
either got to vote for it or take a
beating when I come up for reelection.
"You may say single issue like that
would not defeat me-and it wouldn't,
alone. But every time any of these
controversial subjects is projected-the
most of which I am opposed to-and
I vote in the negative, I get a first
class tongue flashing. Man, how they
crack down on me! get several hun
dred letters at lick. So guess that

cession. What are a few billion dollars
more or less, any way?"
The bulk of the mail being received
on Capitol Hill has to do with Federal
funds. Specifically, the constituents for
warding it want to get their hands on
some of that money.
These requests are coming in by the
tens of thousands-due, Washington
officials believe, to the Administrations
extensive spending campaign.

Forest Fire Preuenh0n
Plan I7rO-t0M

4 lUCH as the Government has done in the
W. past few years. and particularly the past
year for forest fire prevention and restoration
OF the forests to permanent restoration pro-
gram the future must lie in the hands of the
lumber industry as well as the Government
The prevention of forest fires is one of the
greatest essentials. recent report by the
Forest Service divides fire prevention in two
classes
The first, a co-ordinated Nationwide sys-
tematic plan of detection and suppression
which, irrespective of land ownership must
preserve broader forest values from destruc-
ton, Is essentially a public undertaking and
should be publicly financed, according to a re-
port OF the Fire Control Committee
Results already attained under the Clarke
McNary Law, with the Federal Government
sharing costs with States and private owners
roughly on 25-75 per cent basis, indicate the
effectiveness Of organized public fire control
and emphasize the need for its extension" ac-
cording to the report.
In addition to provisions for cooperative
protection on State and private lands" the re-
port says. sit is urgently recommended that
suitable Federal appropriations be made to
provide adequate protection both for forest
lands now in Federal ownership and for those
to be acquired under the proposed enlarged ac-
This acquisition program is one which, as
already recommended to Congress by the Sec
retary of Agriculture, would add 224,000,0 600
acres to forest lands now in public ownership.
OF this amount 1T ,0000 900 acres is located in
the East and $4,000 900 in the West.
In addition to a nationally co-ordinated fire
detection and suppression system the confer
ence report lists as essential to success Of
forest conservation the intensive protection Of
restricted areas In order to protect the sub
stantial investments necessary to continuous
forest production and efficient utilization of the
land resources Of those areas"
Responsibility for the control of fires origi-
mating from logging operations rests, it is
pointed out, with the individual operator.
Under the second type Of fire protection rec
commended, it is the obligation of the operator
to take such practical control measures as
equipping all woods locomotives and engines
with spark arresters and other devices for pre-
venting fires from starting, disposal OF in
hammable snags and logging slash where nee
essary organizing and equipping special fire.
fighting crews, prohibiting smoking In the
woods and. If necessary. closing down OF all
woods operations during exceptionally dry
seasons.

There is great variety to the re-
quests Many are pathetic. They come
from poor, illiterate people who are
destitute. Some one apparently has
told them the Government is giving
away cash to those who are out of work
They want to know how they can get
some of it.
All such letters as these must be
answered, and more often than not the
reply must be disappointing. What
causes members of Congress sleepleSs
nights is that there are prompt re-
joinders to the general effect that the
said Congressman is not on his job
and that some one who will function
will replace him after election day.
There are other reasons why members
of Congress are apprehensive about their
futures. This is especially true of some
of the Democrats Ever since the Roose-
welt administration came into power
they have been deluged by requests for
jobs. The number of positions avail
able is nowhere near the number of
requests.
WnaG maSulueS ILLS particular ullll-
Guilty is that while the Senators and
Representatives often find they are in
disfavor in their home States or dis
trictS, the President who heads their
party continues to ride the crest of the
popularity wave.
OUCH a situation contributes to the
- heavy votes cast for legislation in
volving tremendous sums of money.
Take, for instance, the bill recently
Evening star., 1934-03-18

enacted, making an additional sum of
$3.50, 600, 900 available for relief purposes.
That measure went through the House
by the unexampled vote of 381 to l.
There never was anything like it before.
1t presented an opportunity to- each
Representative to do a favor to the rank
and file of his constituents, not few
of whom he had to disappoint pre-
viouSly in individual matters. But for
the public pressure the sum appropri-
ated would have been materially smaller
and the division of strength in the
House much closer.
But let this be emphasized. Every
member of Congress realizes there must
be an end some time to the spending
campaign. They all know the resources
of the Government are not limitleSS.
However, they are hoping they will not
have to apply the brakes too vigorously
during this session of Congress. And
they are praying that Spring will bring
an upturn in business that will obviate
larger Federal allotments
Otherwise they will be in a horrible
predicament. If there is not the an
ticipated improvement, permitting in
dustry to absorb the 100000 men now
on the c. w. A. rolls, then the record
breaking correspondence of the moment
may fade into insignificance as COM
pared with the pressure that the folks
back home will apply
They will have the alternative Of
complying with the requests of their
constituents or breaking with the Presi-
dent. For, be it understood, Mi Roose-
velt already is insisting that the budget
recommendations must be respected
and those recommendations make no
provision for anything like the sums
that would be necessary if emergency
spending were increased.
Conceivably, the President himself will
save the situation for them by making
another of the fireside radio talks and
telling why the stability of the Treasury
must be preserved.
But whether he talks or does not,
the mail order Congress awaits the
future apprehenSively. 1t would like
to get back to the task of legislating
without having every last voter in the
land telling it what to do and how to
do it. Congress does not like the mail
order" business
