Need Of New Tree Tax Method Seen By Bowker "Douglas County must develop a method of timber taxation that will encourage the conservation of this natural resource and allow an orderly cut of our present mature stands on federal and private lands." This observation was made Sat urday by Morris C. Bowker. Doug las County assessor and Republi can candidate for re-election, in a talk at a meeting of the South Deer Creek Grange. The assessor said such timber taxation "must provide a favor able tax climate for the timber industry to encourage a full utili zation of this resource. However, at the same time the timber and timber industry must contribute its fair share of the cost of local government. If we can reach this goal it will contribute to the stabil ization of all classes of property values in Douglas County." Curtis I.
