Weyerhaeuser Co. Says Tax
Commission Misconstrued
Intent Of Depletion Rate
Melrose .Couple Attends Convention In Portland
By NETTIE WOODRUFF
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Doerner
spent four days last week in Fort
land attending the national con
vention ot county officers. They re
turned by way of the coast and in
Eugene slopped to visit their son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Larry Aenis.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bonebrake
went on a camping vacation near
Diamond Lake last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Tjomsland
and children enjoyed a recent two
week vacation spending some time
at the coast. One week was spent
camping in their trailer house at
Honeymon Park. Tjomsland re
turned to his work with Douglas
Electric Cooperative.
Accepts Position
Mrs. Edith Fuller of Napa, Calif.,
who has been visiting her daughter,
Mrs. Ornbaum, and family has ac
cepted a nurse's aide position at
Douglas Community Hospital and
SALEM (AP)-The state Tax
Commission has misconstrued Ihe
law dealing with timber depletion
rates, the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Co. contended Friday.
In testimony and in a 41-page
brief submitted at the commis
sion's hearing on variations in
timber taxation in four Oregon
counties, the company contended
the law refers to operating area,
not counties as the commission
has ruled.
The commission since July 7 has
been holding hearings to deter
mine reasons for variations in tim
ber taxes in four Oregon counties.
Weyerhaeuser operates in three
of the counties involved Lane,
Douglas and Coos.
Benton is (he fourth county with
which the hearings deal.
One of the factors used in de
termining the tax on timber is the
length of lime a stand will remain
before it has been cut.
Timber Depletion Rate
The tax commission has set a
timber depletion rate on the basis
of county boundaries.
Roger C. Henselman, Weyer
haeuser attorney, said Friday that
to average the cut of stands in
a county where one firm may plan
to finish in 10 years and another
in 40 years was unfair and not the
meaning of the laws.
Weyerhaeuser operates on a
long-time cutting schedule.
It is the company's contention
that Ihe word "area" in the state
law means operating area and not
county and that such usage de
feats the intent of the Legislature.
Use of the county-wide average
rate of depletion penalizes the
sustained yield operator who is
cutting his timber over a long pe
riod of time. Henselman said.
Timber being cut more rapidly
than the county-wide average rate
of depletion is undervalued, he
So id.
In its brief the company con
tended use of the 'county-wide
average rate of depletion will
force timber owners with long
range sustained yield programs to
cut their timber more rapidly to
avoid inequitable and excessive
taxation.
As a result communities in
which the timber harvest is accel
erated will eventually experience
plant shutdowns, unemployment,
and declining property values, it
was asserted. ,
Continued use of the county-wide
rate of depletion will shift sub
stantial tax burdens from rapidly
depleted limber to other classes
of property, the company's brief
said.
lienselman was the first of the
company's witnesses to appear.
Also scheduled are George II.
Weyerhaeuser, vice president of
the company; Charles E. Young,
company economist; Norman R.
McDonell, company timber as
sessment analyst; Richard L. L'hl
man, company property tax
agent; J. Kenneth Pierce, logging
engineering professor at the Uni
versity of Washington and William
A. Davies, forest engineering pro
fessor at Oregon State College.
