SERVICE NOTES FOR JULY. 



OFFICE OF THE FORESTER. 



Executive Order 



Whereas, by an Executive Order of January 17, 1873, it was declared that " persons 

 holding any Federal civil office by appointment under the Constitution and the laws 

 of the United States will be expected, while holding such office, not to accept or hold 

 any office under any State or Territorial government, or under the charter or ordi- 

 nances of any municipal corporation "; 



And whereas it is expedient that the Federal and State Governments should 

 cooperate for the better enforcement of the laws with regard to the forests and the 

 protection of fish and game; 



And whereas the Congress, in Acts passed June 30, 1906 (34 Stats., 669, 683) and 

 March 4, 1907 (34 Stats., 1256, 1269), has directed that "hereafter officials of the 

 Forest Service designated by the Secretary of Agriculture shall, in all ways that are 

 practicable, aid in the enforcement of the laws of the States or Territories with regard 

 to stock, for the prevention and extinguishment of forest fires, and for the protection 

 of fish and game "; 



And whereas it seems that such cooperation can, in many instances, be best 

 effected by allowing officers and employees of the Forest Service and Biological 

 Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture to accept certain State and 

 Territorial appointments and certain State and Territorial officials to receive appoint- 

 ments in the said Forest Service and Biological Survey: 



Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, I deem it proper to give public 

 notice that hereafter State and' Territorial foresters, and their technically trained 

 assistants, unless prohibited by the laws of the State or Territory, may be allowed to 

 serve as collaborators in the Federal Forest Service, and that officers and employees 

 of the said Forest Service and Biological Survey may, with the approval of the 

 Secretary of Agriculture, accept appointments to positions on State and Territorial 

 forest commissions and boards and to such other State and Territorial positions as 

 will empower them to enforce or assist in enforcing the local forest, stock, and game 

 laws, provided the services to be rendered under such appointments do not interfere 

 with the duties of their Federal employment.
