NATIONAL FOREST WEEK

This is American Forest Week,
April 22 to 20, officially proclaimed
by President Coolidge.
Beginning in 1920, Forest Pro-
lection Week was observed in the
timbered regions of the Pacific coast
and adjacent states. In 1921 the
week received the endorsemnt OF the
Federal Government by presidential
proclamation. In 1925 President
Coolidge greatly enlarged the scope
of the week by naming it American
Forest Week and urging all citizens
aud State authorities to give thought
lot only to forest protection but to
all phases of the nations forest
problems.
Organizations interested in sound
forestry practices then formed them
selves into the American Forest
Week Committee in order to carry
oft nationwide observance OF the
Week and to assist Stat committees,
state forestry departments, schools.
churches, clubs and all other inter-
tsted agencies in carrying out the
local observance of>the week.

While this is not true of many in
diyldual legislators who are inteiii
gent and conscientious, it is only too
often true of our lawmaking bodies
in general. One band-wagon politi-
clan with an ak to grind can discount
the efforts of a dozen real represen-
tatives of the people who are Wiling
to stoop to shoddy practices obvious
ly foreign to the real purposes Oh
government. AS result, we see
time and money spent prodigally on
absurd and destructive propositions
and petty details, while questions OF
tho first Importance are. sbeivs. or
iLadequately handled.
