. The fidusiry of Destruction .
sf Any activity which, in a single state, involves more than .
three miliions of dollars yearly might almost be called an in-'
. dustry. Yet it is doubtful if Californians would care to claim .
that distinction for the crop of forest fires which in 1936 de_vastated 946,850 acres at a loss to the state of $3,173,705.
Rigures released recently by Merritt B. Pratt of.the State
Bureeu of Forestry zeveal not only that California's forest fire:
‘bill. last year was four times what it was in 1935, but that the:
_stagce:ing increase must be attributed in great part to-neglig-ence which can only be described as criminal. Of the 6113
separate blazes reported to the Forestry Bureau during the
twelve month period, . 39 were started by lightening and 724
were deiinitely proved to be of incendiary origin. But the
major responsibility for the holocaust which razed timber,
blackened farm lands and damaged watersheds must be laid
at the door of the thougthless smoker and the careless campMan has no recourse against the lightening. He can send
‘‘the arsonist to jail, but how can he deal with three million dol“lars worth of negligence? Between the incendiarist and the
man who unthinkingly flips a lighted ciragette into a pile of
brush, there is-this to be said for the former. By the very nature of his deed, the firebug is a mental case, but no such defense can be erected for the camper who leaves smoldering
debris behind him. In the eyes of the law, he may be less guilty than the incendiarist, but to the people who must bear the
cost of such destruction, his is the greater crime.
a ' * Forester Pratt’s figures represent a new record which
_ Californians would do well to wipe off the books.

Of course there was the Barbary Coast, but one could

. wonder who conceived the idea of decorating that
crude, unsanitary weapon, the family fly swatter with crocheted lace: and worsted flowers.
Disguiged or fully revealed, it’s still a swatter. Why
doesn’t some mechanical genius invent a daintier and _ less
obtrusive method of insect extermination?
I wonder at the status of the big toad in a small pool;
are the little frogs deeply impressed and awe stricken, or do
they merely glance up and croak: derisively, “that big ‘un, he
isn't a frog, he’s just a toad and you know what Shakespeare
wrote about toads. A jewel in his cranium? pooh, pooh, that’ s
just rank superstition; Come on tads, let’s go for a swim.’
. wonder if friends and foes of the present national administration cannot agree that it is the most educative one on
record. ©
We are brushing up on American history, studying the
Constitution, inspecting the fundamentals and learning in the
light of freshly acquired wisdom whether the Supreme Court
should or should not be tampered with.
Many of us are taking an intelligent interest in new laws
Ea are designed to comfort or afflict us; some have even
gone so far as to memorize the names of our state and national. representatives.
All this is something new under the Star Spangled Baniner, King Solomon to the contrary not withstanding.
