National Forests Are
MANAGED With Wisdom

AT the present time the national for
ests are harvesting about 2 per cent
Of the lumber Used In this country.
Yet they are producing roughly 10 per
cent of the annual effective timber
growth. This is merely another way
OF saying that on the national forests
timber is being grown more rapidly
than 1t is being harvested, while In
practically all other forest areas 1t is
being cut very much faster than 1t is
being produced, says Frank A. Waugh
in the North American Review.
That portion Of the forest timber
which Is being harvested is sold on
the stump to contractors, who cut 1t.
under careful regulations, and manu-
facture 1t into lumber and other COM
moditles. Sales are made to the high
est bidders and the money received is
deposited in the United States treas
ury. These sales now produce a rev
enue of about 100000 a year.
This does not seem a very large
amount when compared with the enOr
nous sums paid for lumber by ulti-
mate consumers, but in this field more
than in most others the cost of man
ufacture, transportation and selling
are many times as great as the initial
cost of production, and hal ever
though 1t may take one hundred years
to grow a tree and only a day to cut

PEANUT POLITICS
Basin Republican

BASIN fepnOHCdn
1t is understood over the state that Governor Ross is try
ing in every way possible to secure the resignation from the
highway commission of John M. Snyder and /. r. A. Condit.
Both of these men have been connected with the highway de-
partment since its inception and are so thoroughly familiar
with the work and plans for the future that at this time to
place political lame ducks in the positions filled by these men
would be a calamity. No one objects to the governor having
on this board a majority affiliated with his party, but to make
political mess out of an efficient organization does not ap-
peal to those who favor economical expenditure of the vast
fLnd used for highway development, whether they are demo.
Gratis or republicans. In his speech in Thermopols last week
former Governor Carey stressed this attempt made to make
politics out of the highway commission and his great anxiety
during his administration to get efficiency and avoid graft re.
CARELESS of politics. Governor Carey had as head of the de
partment, L. e. Laird and Chief Engineer Sevison, both dem.
ocrats. At no time was politics allowed to in any manner re-
tard the efficiency of the department.
Contrast this stand and the work accomplished with the
attitude Of the present governor, who is attempting to make
"A purely political department., filling the commission with men
totally unfit by knowledge or training for handling either this
class OF work or large amounts of money.
The people of Wyoming, regardless of political aniliation,
Will demand that the state highway department be maintained
at It's present high standard and that state and government
iloney used for this work not only be spent wisely but eco
Ironically. 10 destroy an organization such as has been built
mp ana turn 1T over to peanut politicians for political purposes
win the graft and ineficiency such as would follow is n condi.
ton that should not come to pass and Governor Ross should
ponder fully the consequences before resorting to the peanu,
l!olltics such n course would entail. The shame and humilia.
non winch would follow such n course by the governor would
ne "a poor heritage for n man who had been so highly honored
by the people of Wyoming.
