- While M. Jusserand's .sugges

had made clear the attitude of the

Proceeds From Forests
Would Pay Off Entire State
'Debt, Says Senator -
Senator Charles L. McNary.has
in preparation a bill which, if en
acted by congress as a part of the
national forest policy,! will enabl4
the state of Oregon to1 receive not
less than $2,000,000 a year front
the sale of its national fbrest landi
and wipe but the entire state debt
X 111. M
He briefly touched upon the bill -
in an address before the Salem
Chamber of Commerce at the noon
lunch yesterday. After referring
to the fact that the state of Oregon
has one-fifth' of the standing tim
ber In the United States, twice as
much as Washington andt more
than twice as much as California,
the senator declared that the time
to conserve the great forestry rej
sources is J before the period of
denudation and bankruptcy comes.
"More than 40,000 people are
employed in industries in Oregon
that have a relation to forestry or
tnroatrv itrnd nrtn." the sena
tor, "and $75,000,000 is circulated
annually in this state from that
resource.-
"Iii the national forests of Orer
gon are i36,000,000,000 feet of
timber. Colonel W. B; Greeley,
chief national forester, fells me of
nlans to Rell 2.000.000.000 feet in
the early future and to keep this
up, as a perpetual thing annually.
The income from this is $3 a
thousand, or $8,000,000 of which
only 25 per cent now comes back
to the state, and this is distributed
to the counties where the timber
is located. . , f " ' , ;
"My bill will make .the amount
50. per cent, or $2,000,000 ayear;
which, increasing - values, may
reach $3,000,000 or $4,000,000.
There Is only one way for a state
to get nut of debt. Tnat is oy
creating new wealth, for private
property is already overburdened
with taxation. ;
"No other state in the nation
has" the wprward looking forest
laws that Oregon has" the sena
tor continued,, "and the forestry
officials here are more . progres
sive than others that I know of.
Referring further to the work
of the reforestation committee,
Senator McNary declared :
"Our committee is not going to
rest with an 1 investigation and a
report. I 'am going to introduce
a bill at the next session of con
gress carrying a definite national
plan bf reforestation. A national
plan can only be feasible as it co
operates . with the states, but the
government must take the lead
ership. This is necessary because
in the states are too many leaders
with divergent ideas. Under the
plan I have. In mind .the govern
ment must appropriate at least
$2,000,000 annually instead of the
present niggardly 400,000 for
forest fire protection." fcH
Seven years ago Senator McNary
explained the Weeks conflervation
act brought an appropriation of
$150,000 . for fire ' protection.
Throe years ago Senator McNary
introduced an amendment to this
increasing the amount to $600,
000 hut in committee it was cut
to $400,000. vv'--' ti:u,:.,
