R. H. Chapler Explains Timber Bills
. Now Before the State Legislature
flAI.KM. ' Jan; 28 ( Special )
With so much Importance attuch
Uig to reforestation legislation In
the present seanlon, your corres
pondent requested an outline on
house bill Ut from R. H. Chap
ler, secretary of tho Oregon Forest
Plro association, In the office of
Mtuto Forester V. A. Klltott. Chap,
ler haa given a clear exposition of
.what are tho needs of Oregon to
properly con servo tho timber now
growing and to promote the growth
of new crops on land burned or
cut over.
Taking up first thu need for a
reforestation law and second the
plan for : legislation carried In
house bill 121. It Is shown that 90
per cent of the activities on fores
try In this state Is directed to pro
tection against flro.
Under tho state law, thu owner
of forest land la required to fur
nish and pay the cost of nn ade
quate protection his holdings. Pro
tection thus given or financed
by the owner la the only safeguard
given .to privately owned lands. In
many . cases he does not glvo It.
Funds of the regular stuto uppro
prlutlon are all expended In ef
forts to see that the owner does
protect his lund.
This system. Is ldeul as long as
somebody retains a clear title to
the hind. : This Is done, as a rule,
on all forest land which Is now
appraised and" assessed for Its tim
ber; -.-.'; r
. . IaimI Tax NefclerUul
When the timber is removed, tho
land tax In neglected In muny cases,
the owner, can. see no reason for re
taining his title and the land be
comes tax delinquent.
Hero is j
whero the-evil enters. Thero Is
no revenue for protection, repeated , for tho most part by the dest rue
fires kerp. tho land unproductive, ; tlon of the ltiiHohc-Sage warehouse
und no: resources exists for keep -
Iilg It policed-against fire. '
Adequute protection from fire Is
possible only when cither the stato ! system be Inaugurated so thut flre
or the. individual ' acknowledges f men will not bo required' to ro
ownershlp and as required under t mutn subject to call 24 hours a
the law supplies that protection. '
It Is commonly known thut many
-timber - claims, having been cut
over, ate considered by those who
hold title to them us useless, they
fall to pay taxes und tho lund be
comes a part of the unprotected
areua- where fires originate to
spread destruction to other lunds
thut are carrying timber.
Under the gencrul property tax
system the same typo of logged or
burned over land Is being assessed
M from $1 to $8 an acre, depend-
Ing altogether on the county In
-which It In located.
1'roiKiscil lb'rorcMnllon Ijeglslntloii
Hy the terms of house bill 121.
here discussed, the following points
are covered:
! 1. The measure applies only to
forest land not now valued and a
sepied for Its timber. This means
cut-over und burned ureus.
2. Instend of a present annual
tax of from 2c to 32c per aere. It
fc provides-for an annual tux of 5c
I'pcr aero and In addition thereto '
service, norl Invest forest cxpen
f ment station and practical und
M -clinical foresters quite generally.
( the proposed law Is designed even
tually to bring ubout conditions
under which : .
A. All forest lund In the state
will receive adequate forest pro
tection from fire.
H. That Instead of un Increas
ing urea of Idle land. Iliero will be
- substantial forest growth on all
lands chelfly Valuable for thut pur
,poso. t That there will be un equit
able und stable taic revenue from
lauds used to grow und perpetuate
Oregons timber supply.
I 1). That without tho necessity
of direct appropriations, the coun
ties and slute of oregon will oe
Hiulre a 12 per cent Inlenst In
, thi gross value of the crop grow-
Ing or to be Kr.wn .on tanua ciussi-
fled' as" reforestation lands. i
Under laws at present governing !
those lands which have been de
nuded of timber by loggers or
burned over and timber destroyed
occupy a peculiar position. They
are not In muny cases salable for
taxes, they are therefore not
brought under new ownership.
