. American forestry. Forests and forestry. Big Creek Fire, Where Thirty Lives Were Lost should be enlarged and their duties ex- tended to cover broader educational fields of labor. Conservation of natural and national resources is a national question of more importance than any issue before the American people. It forms the foun- dation of present and future agricul- tural and commercial prosperity. If handled correctly it will make of the State of Washington one of the great- est commercial divisions in the world. If neglected, or corrupted through po- litical manipulation, it will result disas- trously to the entire people. It is a question in which the homeseekers and investors of the entire nation should have a common interest. 654 The forests should be held sacred for use, now and in coming years, and not wasted or destroyed by any forces, either private or national. They con- tain the sources of power for develop- ing the country, and that should not pass from the control of the whole peo- ple. They hold the reservoirs for sup- plying water for irrigation and domes- tic purposes, in the valleys of industry, and should be guarded by all the peo- ple, for the benefit of all the people, and not for the enriching of corporate inter- ests in furnishing the necessities of the people, in order to make money from monopolies in things the people must have to insure continued Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original American Forestry Association.
