A PLEA FOR OUR TIMBER
(nchot Believes That Timber ShouIdgBe Disposed Of
At Auction To Highest Bidder To Avoid
Favorili's-n And Graft
Iffora Plnchot dlivered tho fol
kg forcible exposition on tho
ro of tho Forests and Oranges:
o national foreBt policy as We
have It begun whon tho people
io United States themselves bc
o realize that tho timber was be
tut faster than It was being re
aced. The American citizen
wood more freely and depends
It for his comfort and well be
noro directly than tho citizen of
ther nation. Ours Is a clvlllza
of wood as much as It is of coal
iteel. Wo are using every year
times as much wood from our
tB as they are growing. A great
sr famlno Is not only in sight
t Is approaching with bewilder
(er the final forests (called for
iserves) were created under the
if March 3, 1891, It began to ap
that a few rich men were get
hold of vast areas of timber
, often by methods which I will
!op to describe. These men saw
nly that there was going to be
at shortage of timber, but also
vhen the shortage came it would
ormously profitable for them to
i)l what timber there was good.
reasoning was good, and they
'about vigorously to carry It into
But President Roosevelt was
ned to the situation. He saw
i would be vastly better to have
of the timber in the govern
s hands for the benefit of all the
p, rather than havo It all In tho
i of a few great owners strictly
neir own benent. Action was
d. He acted, and created many
n acres of national forests,
view of this action of the presl
taken to prevent monopoly and
juent excessive price of lumber,
curious to find some good men
tly convinced that the creation
clonal forests is a bad thing, be
they say, it is raising the price
aber to the consumer. It is the
al scarcity of timber, not the
ml forests, that is raising tho
of lumber to the consumer, and
i proved by tho fact that prices
risen far more rapidly In the
yhere there are no national for
than in the west, where there
'any.
)ther very powerful reason
i behind our forests policy. It
ded to protect tho water sheds
'earns used for irrigation, for
itic water and manufacturing
r and for transportation. No
who has tho best right to use it with
out putting it up for auction. It is
not tho policy of the forest servlco t6
charge tho full market value for
rango rights, unless the users of the
range themselves should mako it
necessary. Tho Intention Is to charge
merely tho cost of range protection
and improvement to the users of the
range In tho form of grazing fees.
The effect of range protection In
the national forests is already strik
ingly evident. In many localities it
has been possible to Increase the
number of stock carried because of
marked improvement of the range
under more reasonable use. Very
much of the range In the national
forests was badly overgrazed. It Is
recovering, on tho whole, with most
gratifying rapidity.
Tho protection of the forest and
tho protection of the range by wise
uso are two divisions of a problem
vastly larger and more important
than either. This is the problem of
the conservatism of all our national
resources. This is the basic prob
lem, and It is a very practical and
deflnito one. If we conserve our
natural resources we shall prosper.
If we destroy them, no amount of
success in any other direction will
keep us prosperous. It is tho ques
tion both of tho present and the
future.
