E A EM rl. Ihe assessed valuation of the taxable lands and im­

and estimated to produce a total taxation income of $223,184.24.
Assuming that the Forest Reserve lands were taxable and

ed on an agreement between the Government and Curry County
whereby the former pays taxes to the county on 7,655 acres of
0. and C. Revested Grant Lands in the southern part of the coun­
ty—a basis considered by well informed county officials as a fair
basis for the valuation of the Forest Reserve lands, which contain
4,611,500,000 board feet of merchantable standing timber, includ­
ing the reserve supply of the valuable Port Orford cedar. Apply­
ing the same tax levy—.0391—as is used on taxable property of
a like classification within the county, the Forest Reserve lands
would produce $222,244.00 in taxes annually, if the same were not
TAX-EXEMPT.

The county records disclose that Curry county received di­
rectly from the Forest Service in 1930 but $325.07 from forest
rentals and $20.88 from timber sales—a total of $345.95—to which
should probably be added whatever sums the Forest Service ex­
pend annually for roads and trails, fire protection, buildings, and
overhead, within the county, estimated at not to exceed $25,000.
I nder this setup the county would receive approximately $200 000
additional in taxes, provided these Forest Reserve lands were not
AA-EAEMI I , making a total taxation income for the countv of
approximately $420,000.
The lands in question are TAX-EXEMPT and there is no
way in which ( urry County may tax same. There is, however, a
moral obligation resting on the Federal Government in the mat­
ter to alleviate, equalize and adjust this unequal and unjust tax
situation by reason of the inclusion of approximately 63 per cent
of the county’s acreage in the Forest Reserve. This obligation mav
be liquidated in part by the Federal Government improving the
harbors and rivers of the county where warranted and necessary
—properly the work of the general government—and thereby
create additional wealth and prosperity through the general de­
velopment of the rich natural resources of the county, which will
in turn tend to ease the tax situation generally. The principle is
sound and is recognized by the Government and has been made
the plpa of other localities for such improvements where the Gov­
ernment owns a large proportion of the lands. Port Orford’s plea
to the Board of Engineers for the improvement of its natural deep
water harbor is founded in part on such a manner of adjusting
the unjust tax situation existing in Curry countv.
