residents of forest the advantage of their cooeperation.
CO-OPERATION WITH PRIVATE OWNERS DESIRABLE
In patrol of fire, the state and the woodcutter especially have to work
together. It is reasonable that the owner of lumber should contribute
to the protection of his/her ownership. He also has particular installations
to find the job done well and cheap. As a rule he is prepared
to make his/her part. In 1910 the Washington Foresta Fire Association and
other owners of lumber in that is paid $300,000 for patrol
and the other job of fire. The Coeur of Alene, Clearwater Potlatch and
Pend of Oreille Lumber the Protective associations spent on $200,000
in Idaho. Timbermens of Oregon spent toward $130,000. Figures
it is not available for Montana and the California, but probably the
same takings of proportion.
I support complete from the state it is necessary to do deprived job
real. The assumed men have to have official authority to strengthen
the law. The dangerous element doesn't respect a movement that
it only represents nominally the owner of ownership. The people in general
don't help him as much as them face one in which they also divides.
Therefore, it is necessary to have government installations for cooeperating
in the organization, the concession and superintendence of every forest
patrols.
LIBERAL APPROPRIATION A GOOD INVESTMENT
But to stop here is as trying to protect a city from fire
only giving the right to his/her factory owners to maintain overseers.
We want to handle for the greatest possible advantage the people
through the desire of the owner of lumber to protect his/her his/her own ownership,
but some policy of forest that ends with this is hopelessly weak.
We cannot afford to leave completely some matter of public welfare to
the wisdom and the philanthropy of deprived enterprise. If we wait for there
our eminent interest in forest and resources of water to be looked
out for we properly, have to pay for him in the moment in which we do for every other
protection that we find through organized government. Neither we should forget
