Reading the debates in Congress on public land questions in the Harrison-Cleveland period leads one to the conclusion that Harrison's Commissioner of the General Land Office, Lewis A. Groff, in relaxing the previous tight administration and enforcement of the laws, reflected much more the western attitude than did Cleveland's new Commissioner who in 1893 again began to stress the need for more vigorous prosecution of the laws against timber depredations. lands by the use of a small army of investigating agents who were ostracized by local society, upbraided by the local press and by the Representatives and Senators of the West, and the fact that their enforcement efforts were nullified by hostile juries, contributed to the realization at least among scientists that only through a positive program of Federal forest land management could a part of the remaining public forests be both withheld and protected for future use. |
