W. G. Steel seriously objects to having Crater Lake National Park used for the political benefit of one man, as he thinks the Cascade Range Forest Reserve has been used by Binger Herman, Commissioner of the General Land Office. Steel suggests that management of Crater Lake be turned over to the Geological Survey, where he thinks it will be honestly administered.
