anj^thing like adequate volume, 

 must be done by the State or gov- 

 ernment. The lumbermen are not 

 opposed to the efforts being made 

 by the federal government or by any 

 of the states to preserve the timber 

 lands publicly owned. They are al- 

 most unanimously opposed to the 

 federal government transferring any 

 of the national forests to the states 

 in which they are located. In many 

 localities lumbermen are taking a 

 leading part in the movement to en- 

 courage the state governments to 

 acquire and maintain state forests. 



Next in importance to taxation, 

 the future of forestry in America de- 

 pends upon reducing' the enormous 

 loss from forest fires. The lumber- 

 men have taken a most commend- 

 able part, especially in the western 

 states, in the efforts to reduce this 

 enormous loss. They have co-oper- 

 ated actively with the government 

 and state officials to reduce the 

 number of forest fires, and very sat- 

 isfactory results have been obtained 

 during the last three years. If time 

 permitted, I could explain at length 

 the work of the various forest pro- 

 tective associations of the western 

 states in which the lumbermen are 

 the prime movers, and also of their 

 efforts to secure the enactment of 

 forest protection laws by various 

 State Legislatures. No opportunity 

 is being lost by the lumbermen to 

 impress every man, woman and 

 child with the truth that every tree 

 whi-ch burns is a direct menace to 

 the community. The time is near at 

 hand when the great annual losses 

 from forest fires in this country will 

 be reduced to a minimum. — (J. E. 

 Rhodes, in an address to The Am-
