than four thousand feet OF merchantable
timber Is growing in contiguous areas OF
not less than one hundred and sixty acres
shall be excluded from the forests. Sem
ator Hepburn had this amendment adopted
as a compromise after q still more strin-
gent one aimed at the Forest Service had
been rejected.
This amendment" said Mr.. Pinchot,
will exclude from the national forests
every tract on which trees have been or
are being planted: every area where the
mature timber has been harvested and
young growth IS coming back: every
stretch OF reproduction; substantially. every
body Of trees less than fifty years old (of
which there are many million acres about TO

PINCHOT'S CONSERVATISM. 49, With
that accuracy and conservatism which
have characterized his statements ever
since he was dismissed from the place Of
Cnef Forester, Clifford Plnchot denounced
to-day Senator Carter's amendment to the
agricultural bill as an effort TO turn over
the public domain to grafters." He was
addressing the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers Association, which took Mr.. Pin
chot 60 seriously that IT determined to ask
the President 70 veto the agricultural bill
Mr.. Pinchot neglected TO state that the
Carter amendment merely gave statutory
force TO q forestry regulation adopted since
Mr.. Pinchot was removed, and which, pre-
sUmably. the present forester has no inten-
ton OF changing. Under the Pinchot re-
''e II was The practice Of foresters 10
.,.en4pt to Judge whether It were worth
q prospector's while 70 work on a mining
claim he had staked out, and If The
forester decided II was not worth while
every effort was made to drive the miner
from the forest reserve, despite the fact
of his being there in accordance with rhe
terms OF the mining law. Ihis practice has
now been abandoned. and the sole purpose
OF the Carter amendment was 20 prevent
It's recurrence by q statutory prohibition
which forbade the expenditure OF any por-
ticn of the forestry appropriation TO enable
foresters 10 exercise their Judgment over
mining claims located on land on which
no commercial timber grows. Mr. Pinchot
also took occasion to denounce the Hey
burn amendment, which also conforms 10
an existing forestry regula ton. There VIII
be no occasion for the President even 10
consider the advisabiltiy OF vetoing the
