A plan to encourage reforestation In Oregon by relieving the tim ber land owner of the tax bur den of standing timber will be presented to the state legislature by the stato forestry board, which is discussing the plnn In a meeting here today.

About 60 years is required for its development to that stage. The plan to be proposed would make a small fixed value on the land for tax purposes, pending development of "the timber, and when the time arrives to cut the timber, to levy a severance tax on the product, but to eliminate the annual tax on standing tim ber. o ' SEC.

Louis Malvy. former minister of the interior, convicted of commu nication with the enemy during the war and banished from France for three vears, was voted amnesty by 195 to 62. The vote on the Caillaux case, after only two hours discussion came as a surprise alike to the friends and foes of the ex-premler. who had expected a long and acrimonious debate lasting for per haps weeks. The vote was taken after a stir ring speech by Premier Herrlot, who pleaded with tho senators to let bygones be bygones. "France is strong enough to be able to withstand divergencies of opinion." ho said. '.'Let us bury forever In oblivion tho quarrels and political differences which dur ing the war appeared to be sources of. danger." From a legal- stand point, argued the premier.

BETTER LEGISLATION Four Billion Loss Was Sufi fered by Agriculture Since 1920-21. and Many Lose Homes. (Associated Press leased Wire.) OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 18. For four years farmers of the coun try have suffered cruelly and sus tained losses which can only be ab sorbed In their capital account, but they are now coming out of the de pression, President Charles S. Rarrett, declared In his annual au- dress here toduy, betore the Na- tiunul Farmers' union. A 140,000,000.000 loss was Buf fered by agriculture since 1920-21 and in a single year, 1,2000 farm ing people were driven from their homes and forced to take refuge In the city he declared. Those facta constitute the real reason for the exodus from the farms and explain, he said, why many state and county officials have found it so ulfficult to collect taxes during the last four years and why there has been, so many foreclosures. "It is clear that In some man ner our own federal government has been to blame." Mr. Barrett asserted, "It dismantled Its war ( machinery without making provi sion for readjustments, but It en couraged farmers to continue their maximum efforts of production, even into the crop of 1920. Then c;tuo the fear ut Washington n( inflation tendencies, that was fol lowed by a drastic depression pol icy inaugurated by the federal re serve board, then the crash came. On top of this came Hie raising of freight rates for l:b b the federal government was i - . nslble, and which put farmers ot the middle, west at a great disadvantage by forcing them to pay peak prices to transport products whoso vnluci hail shrunken alarmingly." Matters which I ho union will undertake nt Washington Include: "Passage of the Truth ln-Fubric' bill. "Legislation to protect farmers Interests by providing for truthful anil adequate . branding, labeling and advertising of seeds, feeds and fertilizers .when shipped in inter state commerce.
