SERVICE ORDER 22. 



SEPTEMBER 25, 1908. 

 Observance of State Laws by Forest Officers. 



It has recently been brought to the attention of this Service that Forest officers 

 themselves have in rare instances failed to observe the State game laws. Strict 

 observance, both by act and example, of all State laws, whether for the protection 

 of game or for other purposes, is one of the first duties of every Forest officer, 

 ruder no circumstances should one Forest officer shield or condone the act of 

 another who violates the game laws. To do so differs little from actual violation of 

 the law itself. This Service will not tolerate violation of the State game laws by 

 any of its members, or failure to cooperate fully with State game officials.
