On the National Forests the Forest
Assistant often acts as technical ad
viser to the Supervisors in charge,
who are western men experienced in
all practical matters, but usually
without school training in 'the. .science
of forestry. Or.ttiey may! be I assigned
to the study of 'some -particular prob
lem which needs to-beivestigated in
the interest of good forest manage
ment. As forestry means knowing
how to get the most out of any given
piece of forest land, it calls for studies
and experiments, both . scientific and,
practical, mux:h like those which have
to be "made in the. interest ,; of good
farm management, and the Forest Ass
istant is .prepared to do va' ua'j' -j work
along this line.
There is a growing Interest in the
profession of forestry no?, and many
young men are asking hew ,o; get

Pinchot, United States Forester, in
an address to the graduating class
in forestry, at Harvard University this
year said:

need men trained in the knowledge
of forestry, and it offers opportunity

forester a man should combine some

how to use the forest he must be

therefore, the power of observation,
a fondness for nature, and the ability

improving the ordinary dirt roads of
the mountains and rendering them
more efficient is not a very difficult
one to solve. It means that if road
improvement is to be accomplished,
we must have a just and equitable
svstem of taxation for road building
purposes. I do not believe it is pos
sible to make any practical improve
ment in the common public road by
the labor method of taxation, but a
direct tax must he livied to raise the
funds necessary to pay th? labor ior
the improvement of the road. In
some instances it may be found prac
ticable to have a method of taxation
supplemented perhaps by a labor
tvio most prmltamp tax ir a c;i-
fLA. - a
tain amount on the hundred dollars'
worth of property and also to much
on the polk as every one receives
some benefit directly or indirectly
from the improvement of the roads,
on matter what trade or profession
he may follow or whether he owns any
property or not. He should, therefore,
pay at least a poll tax for good roads
work. It ; is. a well established fact
that the dirt road will have to be the
main road for a . considerable portion
fof the counties for a great many year
