Synopsis
Excerpt from What Forestry Means to Representative Men: Portions of Addresses Delivered at the American Forest Congress, Washington, January 3 to 6, 1905
The producers, the manufacturers, and the great common carriers of the nation have long failed to realize their true and Vital relation to the great forests Of the United States, and the forests and indus tries both suffered through that failure. The suffering Of the indus tries in such case comes after the destruction Of the forests, but it is just as inevitable as that destruction. If the forest is destroyed it is only a question Of a relatively short time before the business inter ests suffer in consequence.
All of you know that there is opportunity in any new country for the development of the type of temporary inhabitant whose idea is to skin the country and go somewhere else. You all know, and especially those of you from the West, the individual whose idea of developing the country is to out every stick of timber Off Of it, and then leave a barren desert for the home-maker who comes in after him. That man is a curse and not a blessing to the country. The prop Of the country must be the business man who intends so to run his business that it will be profitable for his children after him. That is the type Of business that it is worth while to develop.
The time of indifference and misunderstanding is gone by. Your coming is a very great step toward the solution of the forest problem a problem which can not be settled until it is settled right, and it can not be settled right until the forces which bring that settlement about come not from the Government, not even from the newspapers and from public sentiment in general, but from the active, intelligent, and effective interest Of the men to whom the forest is important from a business point of w, because they use it and its products, and whose interest is therefore concrete instead of general and diffuse.
