WARNS AGAINST
TIMBER TRUST
Washington, Feb. 14. Producing
startling statistics. Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith
sent a special report to congress to
day asserting a lumber trust is be
ing organized which will make the
Stundurd Oil Co. look like a pigmy.
Smith declared that four-fifths of jthe
country's standing timber is privately
owned. Three of these holding tim
ber he says are the Weyerhauser
timber company, the Southern Pacif
ic and the Northern Pacific, compris
ing 238,000,000 feet or 11 per cent of
all the privately owned timber in this
country. Most of this Is in the
Northwest.
He said the danger of such concen
trating of power and property was
Northwest. Smith declared the South
ern raclflc is the largest Individual
owner of timber holding control of
ten billion feet.
Smith reported there had been
many protests against such concen
tration of timber control which is per
mitted would result in complete con
trol of the timber Industry In future.
He said the largest holders arc not
cutting but reserving their timber for
Incalculable profits when other tim
ber is gone.
He said many of these big Interests
are protesting against the conservation
of the national forest system because
"they say It ties up natural resources
while they themselves are deliberately
tlelng up farm lands for their private
gain," after the timber has been cut.
