Forest Service Revenue and Organization 235 



with the Forest Service since April 1, 1915, and that he has 

 seen no National Forests beyond those in Arizona, New Mexico, 

 Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, and Southern California. On the 

 other hand, he has seen and studied forest administration in 

 British India, Germany, France, Australia, North Africa, Corsica, 

 and Switzerland. 



These data are not presented as a criticism of fhe present 

 administration ; they should be read in the light of friendly 

 suggestions coming from a friend and well-wisher of the present 

 federal forest organization. Such radical changes as are sug- 

 gested must depend on a great many internal factors which, 

 naturally, the writer is not in a position to weigh with as much 

 accuracy as can those in the organization itself. 



The writer does not zvish to come out clearly in favor of any 

 particular form of organisation unreservedly without far more 

 study and investigation. It must be clear, however, from the 

 conflicting data that have been presented, that there is much that 

 can be done to make the present organization cheaper and more 

 logical.
