Admission of High - Handed
Policies Is Revelation to
Joint Committee.
PRESS BUREAU IS COSTLY
Witness Tells of Spending Thou
sands of Dollars of Federal Money
to Create Sentiment for
Enlarging Own Service.
OREGOXIAX KBWB BUREAU. Wash
ington, Alarchli The testimony of Glf
ford Pinchot before the Congressional in
vestigating committee was astounding in
many particulars, and was a revelation to
the Senators and members comprising
that committee. It gave them their Hrst
insight into the bold methods pursued by
the Forest Service while Pinchot was its
head, and displayed to them, for the first
time, the utter disregard which that
bureau showed for the restraints of
the law. q
For insTance. Pinchot was Interro
gated about his press bureau. He ad
mitted that he maintained a press
bureau, which he said cost from 16000
to $10,000 a year. This bureau, he
explained, was maintained "for Instruction-
work through the newspa
pers." Asked further to- explain this
scheme, he said:
Public Sentiment Created.
"The Forest Service had as its prin
cipal duty, or one of its principal
duties, the education of this country
to the necessity for. forest reservations.
One of our big Jobs was to create a
public sentiment which would support
the forest work and lead to its in
creased spread, and the saving of the
forests generally. And we got from
this newspaper work which cost some
thing below $10,000 a year we got in
one year our material carried In about
300,000,000 copies of newspapers. It
was one of the most useful and best,
and most worth-while parts of our
work."
Think of it! A press bureau costing
$10,000, or thereabouts, to advertise
the forest service and create senti
ment, so that the bureau could be
enlarged. The success of this press
bureau is told in the increasing appro
priations that have been made for the
past bIx or seven years.
Mr. Pinchot also testified ' that he
sent officials of the Forest Service
about the country to lecture and o
further shape public sentiment, and
these trips were all paid for out of
the appropriations for the protection
and administration of the forest re
serves. These lectures were before Y.
M. C A.'s. before women's clubs, be
fore the Yale Law school and Yale
Forestry school, and before all manner
of institutions. The cost of such trips
ranged all the way from $50 to $300
and $400 and ovta.
Controller Xot Consulted.
After some discussion of this public
ity, or advertising business, Mr. pinchot
was asked if he had at'any time con
sulted with the Controller of the Treas
ury to ascertain whether or not the
money so spent was legally spent and
used within the intent of the law, The
Controller is supposed to pass upon all
such matters, and to him all other
branches of the Government turn be
branches of the Government turn befor
expending money from general appro
priations when-the law does not specific
ally stipulate the manner in which the
funds shall be used. Mr. pinchot ad
mitted that he had not laid these ques
tions before the Controller.
"Of icourse," said he, "it would ba
utterly impossible for a department
to do business if it had to submit every
item of its work to the Controller con
tinually for a decision. The Controller
could not keep up with the game."
Ana yet that is what the Controller
is for. and all other departments con
sult him freely and frequently. It
was only another instance where Pin
chot decided that whatever he wanted
w-as right, and it mattered not what
the law might provide.
In further defense of his expendi
ture of a part of the forestry appro
priation for advertising and exploita
tion, Mr. pinchot stated that the Sec
retary of Agriculture sends out officials
of the good roads division t make
speeches on road-building.- and sends
other experts to make addresses on.
subjects on which they are specialists. 1
such as fruit experts, grain experts,, '
etc., "all of whom address farmers' meet-
lngs and give them the advantage of;
the Department's work along lines in
which they are interested. Mr. Pinchot
maintained that the -work of his pub
licity men was on a par with that of
the cither officials of the Department
of Agriculture.
But he failed utterly to draw the dis
tinction, which is very apparent, for
the experts of other bureaus were sent
out to aid the farmers and to demon
strate to them the results of Govern
ment studies, all of which would help
them in their business. The exploit
ers of the Forest Service, on the other
hand, as Pinchot himself admitted,
were working to "create entiment"
favorable to . the Forest Service, and
not to help the public or the farmers.
In other words, in the one instance the
speeches addresses and bulletins were
intended to help those to whom they
were made or sent; in the other In
stance, they were intended to help the
bureau sending them.
Pinchot was fast building up a bu
reaucracy such as this Government has
never known. Had he been allowed to
continue unrestricted, he would have
accomplished his end in the near fu
ture. In view of his unwilling admis
sions before the investigating, com
mittee. Congress is very likely to put
a stop to those practices which are so
manifestly at variance with the intent
of the law.

ner of Marshall and Twenty-sixth
