JILLSON TO ASK $115,000 By DONALD McW'AIN. The Courier-Journal Frankfort Bureau. Frankfort, Jan. 2.

New forest ry laws, an appropriation for topo graphical base maps and revision of Blue Sky laws will be sought by de partment heads from the 1926 General Assembly, it became known today Wlllard R. JUIson. State Geologist. will request the legislature to give the geological survey the present appro priation of $40,000 a year. In ad.

ditlon, he will petition for $75,000 an nually for topographical base map. ping. Thft appropriation for topo-graphical work will he Indorsed by the Highway Commission. The 1924 General Assembly passed a bill, carrying an appropriation for topographical base mapping. The act waa -vetoed by Gov.

William J. Fields. Mr. Jlllson today said the annual appropriation of $75,000 would complete topographical work In ap proximately four years. At present no topographical work is being done.

Forestry Measures Sought. Thomas P. Mlddleton, Deputy Banking Commissioner In the Blue Sky Department, said a bill was being drawn to adopt a new set of laws for the Blue Sky Department. The present law allows some discrimina tion in favor of banks in sale of bonds, according to Mr. Mlddleton.

New legislation may divorce this branch from the Banking Cnmls-sloner's office. Mrs. Emma Ouy Cromwell, Secre tary of State, has not drawn legis lative recommendations. Several months ago, Mrs. Cromwell called attention to the fact that Kentucky's Secretary of State is not required to give bond.

No report for the General Assembly Is prepared by the Secretary of State, unless the Secretary of State voluntarily offers it. F. Merrill. State Forester, will seek to have re-enacted most of the forestry laws repealed by the 120 General Assembly when the Department of Forestry was abolished. Increase in the salarv of State Forester from $3,000 to $4,000 will be sought In amendment to the 1324 Forestry bllL The Commissioner of Agricul ture would be authorized to hire such assistants as may bo necessary to carry on this work." Merrill Outlines Measure.

The proposed legislation, as out lined by Mr. Merrill, follows: An act passed in March, 1920. abolished most of the best forest laws in the State. In order that the Kentucky Forest Service may function properly it is necessary that the organization have certain laws with which to work and the proposed laws attached are regarded as being essentlul at this time. Our idea Is to ask for only Huch laws as we absolutely need and only when we know that these laws have been tried and found to bo successful In other States.

The few forest laws now on the Statutes have been carefully gone over to be sure that there are no duplications. Section One. iYovidea a penalty for willfully or maliciously firing the property of another. Such persons should have a punishment more severe than other classes. Section Two.

Provides penalties for: Subsection A. Firing the lands of another to secure pasture, hunt chestnuts, smoke out wild animals and bees, etc. Subsection B. Careless neighbors who let out fires. Subsection C.

Campers, hunters, who build improper camp fires. Subsection D. Causing a fire and then leaving it without an attempt to stop it. Subsection K. Causing fires by careless smoking.

Subsection F. Defacing State signs by destroying or covering with private signs. Section Three. Gives definite duties and authority to the State Forest Wardens that they may be of value to the work. Section Four.

Carelessness on the part of mill operators has cost the State millions of dollars and has destroyed the very business upon which the operators depend for a living. A law similar t6 this is in most States, and operators themselves favor it. Most operators now comply with these provisions. This is intended to eliminate the caseless operator, who not only destroys hw own livelihood, but that of surrounding operators. Section Five.

Protection to landowners against railroad fires thnt annually destroy much property. The railroad i-auses the hazard, therefore, should be made responsible for its removal. Also, rail roads iy out much more in damage claims because of forest fires than it would it the companies to clean their light-of-ways us provided in this section. Section Six. Slashings cause dangerous fire hazards along railway tracks.

This hazard is easily preventable, for in most cases the operator will only have to move a little slash a few feet in order to protect himself, adjoining landowners and the railroad. Section Seven. The State and Federal Governments are willing to to help bear the cost of forest protection in the counties. The result of" this protection will be of greater benefit to the county than it will be to the State or Nation. Therefore, the county should asume some share of the burden of protection of it own resources.

Section Klfht. Provides that persons responsible for fires shall pay the cost of extinguishing the fires and also pay for any damages. Section Nine. Forestry is a longtime business. Kentucky will have but little success with it if the State Forester is changed frequently.

He is exiected to lie the leader in maintaining a business worth a year to the State. The present salary of $3. "00 Is insufficient to keep a man capable of handling the work. Practically all other States pay more. If the State Forester is nt worth more than $3,000 a year, he is not big enough for the position In Kentucky, and if he is worth more, frequent changes are bound to occur, to the detriment of the State.

Section Ten. This emergency measure is to be used only in case of extreme necessity. It has been ued to good effect in other States. An act liberalizing the requirements for eligibility to a State Con- federate may oe introduced. Confederate veterans owning prci" erty valued at or more are I prohibited from drawing pensions, un-J der the present cutting sdgs making bringi rr 4 Bussell Brothers Charged With Stealing 525 Pounds of Weed.
