Forestry in a Democracy
Abstrak
Abstract The quickest and most certain way to break down the efficiency of a technical or professional group of public servants is to establish racial, religious, or political qualifications for the group. Although any such qualifications are bad, the most insidious and vicious of all are those which are political in character. For many years the Forest Service has been largely free from political influence, at least in so far as the selection of personnel is concerned. Today there are indications that the politician has extended his greedy hand to the Forest Service. The members of no single political party are solely responsible. "Job grabbing" appears to be a common failing more or less apparent among the members of all our national political parties. Foresters the country over, irrespective of their own political party affiliations, resent this effort to break down the morale of the Forest Service. Only free men can effectively serve a free people. The American people are entitled to effective forest administration.
