MALONEY News Editor A SI3N8RIKSS FORKS? HILL c iONSIDEH tlicao forests facts: The National Forests contnl.i nearly one-fifth of the standing tlmbor of (he United States. They protect tho head wators of every Im portant western river, and support f6r a part of each year one-half the sheep and nearly one-tenth of tho Cftttlo feeding on tho western rango, Bays tho Scientific American. Do jicndont upon them Is a vast Irri gated tract, roditccd from arldlt. and scml-nrldlty by an Investment of otct $300,000,000. In theso national forests t ore aro GO, 000, 000, 000 foot oJt merchantable tlmbor worth, If valuod nt only $1 per thousand feet, $500,000,000 moro thnn half tho riatlonnl debt. At present tho gov ernment spends nbout $5,000,000 gross or $3,000,000 not to protect this timber. Spread over an nrea greater than all tho United State tiorth of tho Potomnc and cast of tho Q3ih) Ulver, Is a field forco of nbont 000 men, whoso duty It Is to keep nn pyo out for fires. Tho forco seems largo, yet thero Is only one ran go r (oovery ISO squaro miles. An Intelligent man, told that tboro In now pending beforo tho Ilotiso n bill which affectB tho Forest Sorvlce, rr.ould nnturally aupposo that a wlso body of legislators Intonded to rom cfly this wrote lied condition by pro viding ndequato protection for so valuable- n national resource. Not BO. Incredible as It may seem, tho. 1012 Uouso bill actually rodticos an appropriation, which hns averaged about (500,000 aunually for tho past five yoars, $275,000. It Is difficult to bcllovo that tho Sonato will pormlt o sonsclcss a moasuro to becomo a law, still moro difficult to bollovo that tho President will sign It, If tho Kennto should concur with tho Houso To protect our National Forests moro tuonoy should bo appropriates tot leas. Surely ono man cannot ade quately protort ono hundred and fifty squaro tnllefl of tlmbor land, ffuroly on three cents an aero vnlu Ablo tlmbor cannot bo adequately protected. How can tho building of roads, trails, bridges and tolophono lines bo urgently required to get men. quickly to tho Ores bo carried on ef ficiently If Congress tics tho hands ot tho Koi'ost Service? Just as good farming means building up tho pro ductive cunnclty of tho land, not iinoroly preventing It from runnlug down, so good forestry means not only protection, but also Improve ment, Congress apparently hhs nothing oIbo In mind than the degra dation of national timber lands.
