J Of the majority of the members of

pointment of members of the state
board of forestry' in' this fashion is
reouEhant to thev whole spirit of
renresentatlve KOVemmentr .This
bill is bulltlup around this state
board, vesting in the board great
er power than should be exercised
by any commission.
Contracts Not Favored
Another object of the bill which
did not meet with executive ap
proval permits owners of land to
enter into contracts wltn tne state
extending over a period of 60
! years.! Paying one-half the taxes
on the assessment by the board
-would be deferred until the end of
the term. This last provision may
be designed to prevent the impos
ition of any severance tax upon
the removal of timber or any tax
upon the income derived from tne
- business of main marketing such
timber the governor, pointed out.
"In my long experience in leg
islative work, in the state of Orer
gon I never have examined a bill
that might be as far reaching and

Sl VOur reforestation policy should

and otherwise deforested lands
but particularly should include
the acquisition of all lands which
at present have a forest growth
of insufficient size to be of com
mercial value for lumber manu
facturlng purposes."
.New Tax Suggested
Governor Pierce suggested a
severance tax of 1 per thousand
feet which would yield 15,000,000
annually, he said. He expressed
great regret that the legislature
did not pass a bill without the
features to which he objected and
ends his message with the state
ment there is nothing of more im
portance to the state than an un
selfish policy of reforestation.
"It may, well be believed that
once this bill becomes a law all
owners of land within its survey

WASHINGTON March 14. The

With the executive' approval to
day, jast within the legal dead

vital supply measures were suc
cessfully enacted but there" re
mained on the calendar several
bills of nation? 1 interest whjch
had been given so-called priority
by the administration leaders. A
vote upon these had been blocked
by a combination delaying tactics
on the part of opponents and lack
of time for consideration.
No measure of general public
importance which did get through
the jam," however, failed of -executive
approval, it was declared at
the White House tonight, though
two or three bills were understood
to have been , left on President
Coolidge's desk when he departed
for his inauguration at the capitol.
They, were said - to be measures
dealing with private claims but
whether they were given "pocket
vetoes" or were signed before ho
leftwas not- definitely .known.

of $162,408 for new buildings and

swept Into the vice presidency
with a velocity i that . shaitered
many precedents.
In-a brief inaugural ceremony,
which never deviated from the
decorus program laid down by him'
long in advance'; Mr. Coolidg re
newed his oath of office on his
grandmother's Bible and in a short
inaugural address re-stated. hi
policies of governmental frugal
ity. But General Dawes furnished
a succession or surprises and
thrills that stirred . senatorial ire.
Senate' Stirred '
' First he read the riot ac to
the; senate .on the necessity of re
vising its rul6s to outlaw the one-"
man filibuster, : Then, instead of
swearing in the" new senators In
fours, he ordered them brought
up in bunch.. Then he cut short
the ceremony of senators signing
the' hook, and finally; without any
senator having made a "motion; to
the fact, he announced that the.
deliberatfve.hody would proceed to
attend the inauguratfon, . ,
The senate and its distinguish
ed j guests thereupon trooped out
to a vastly different scene on the
east, plaza where thousands el
ready were waiting to see the lnr
ductlon into office of Mr. CooHdga
while millions more all over th.
nation waited at tuned-in radlct
to "hear what he said..
