Chapman of Portland Speaks to Kiwanis on Big State Resource. ' Oregon has today mora stand ing timber1 than any other state in the union; 25.000,000 acres of forest lands. Oregon has 45, 000 men working in the lumber industry; an annual lumber pay roll of S45.000.000, and lumber sales last year; of t65,OQO,000, an annual production of $3,000 OOfeet o(t lumber; and even this tremendous business ' could . be doubled, and maintained forever, under a 'careful, system of , refor estation and new forest - protec tion by ta : adjustments and otherwise. These are the high lights of the address given Tuesday before the Kiwanis club, by C. S. ; Chap man, of Portland, forester: of the Western . Forestry and ' Conserva tion association. . h ' Forest Tax Discussed Mr. Chapman : said that he had come to Salem , to see what was being done to the proposed for estry laws. One law that they asked for was defeated, a. meas ure to allow the state to accept as a gift, cut-over - lands that might ha reforested; artificially or naturally if protected, hut that Offered small chance for "the pri vate owner who might have to pay taxes on his .holdings for the next 8 0 years until a second crop Would mature. Such a' law was passed in Washington two 'years ago, and they have had one gUt Of" 5000 acres already. - i The matter of taxation of tor est lands was gone into at- some length. The speaker held that an annual tax on forest lands, for their forest value year by year, was absolutelyAprohlbitive of private reforestration. He said that timber is a "crop" that can Bland but one assessment which would be at its time of sale; though the land Itself might be assessed annually at its real land value, which in most cases ' of tlmberlaqds is only nominal. Have World Market "We still have the opportunity, with such . a vast acreage of tim bered lands, to perpetuate onr Oregon forests, and' to vastly in crease their.5 output' and -eternal production,' if we do not wait un til the timber is cut or burned off and then we haveto try to get It back," . said the speaker. "The eastern states that so' fool ishly destroyed or wasted Jhcir forests; are buying ,ha.ck f oresf lands, and 'trying to; reforest them; some of them ' never "can come back as they were, and we have he world's markets at our feef, if weH save this great na tural resource." ...
