STATE FOREST POLICY GIVEN BIG ASSET MUST BE SAFEGUARDED Vlnlon Required In Planning For Hocond Timber Crop After I'rcwnt Htiinil liiiw lli'en Cut HhoiiiiKo Will Not lb Hi en For V-ain. PORTLAND, Dec. 11. Oregon has the largest amount of standing timber of any state In the union. Ovor ono-flfth of the nation's supply Is within the boundaries of our state. To safeguard this great asset, Iuws havo been onacted by the legislature which are recognized as progressive and which pluce Oregon among the few states having a well thought out forest code For nonrly 10 years the state board of forestry which, through Its person nel, represents alike tho public, pro ducer and consum'ar, has confined its activities very largely to fire preven tion. This will continue te"bo Its principal task. The board, however, believes the time has arrived to out lino a doflnlto policy looking to the future well being of the stale, and aimed at keeping productive, and bringing to a state of productiveness, vast areas boat fitted for the grow ing of succcanlve foront cropa. In doing this, the board recognizes that it should be concerned not alone with those- things which the state muy do Independently, but also with those which should bo done by the federal government independently and In co operation with the state and private ownera. Responsibility of private owners in this whole program Is notl overlooked, nor Is the need for pub lic action to mako possible practice of forestry by such private owners. Crop Long Maturing. Ordinarily the vast area of gov-ernmeiit-owned timber land held and managed as national forest la consid ered a sufficient safeguard for future supplies. As a matter of fact, but one-fifth of the present available standing tlmbor of this nation is In government,' ownership, the other four-fiftbs being " privately owned. Economists, foresters and lumbermen have realized for a long time that, as a nation, we are drifting toward a future shortage tf raw material to keep alive the lumber Industry and many others dependent upon It. The situation is not alarming. A short age will not be apparent for many years, but it should be realized that tho board Is dealing with a crop which requires from 76 to 150 years to mature. 1 Tho hopeful sldo to the question is that, unlike coal, Iron, or any of our minerals, which, when supplies are exhausted, are gone forever, timber is a crop, and a new one can be grown to take tho pluce of one re moved. The length of time required to grow a timber crop does, however, dictate foresight, for a long gap be tween removal and replacement must be bridged by crops which are' ma turing at proper intervals. Move Is IVogrexHivo. Already some of the Oregon coun ties can see the limits surrounding their romnlning virgin tlmbor. The next 10 years will see great increase In our lumber production, a thing we have been waiting for through long, discouraging porlods. Oregon today has a large percentage of all too" standing timber in t ha ..United States, but the time will come Vhon a shortage will exist unless necessary precautions are taken, and it is with tills In mind that Oregon's state board of forestry, headed by the gov ernor, has taken a stop which should, if suocoBBfully carried through, re main for all time as a monument to its progressiveness and breadth of vision". The policy, which follows, alms to' touch on federal as well bb state problems for It must be remembered that as a state Oregon has an In terest In the management of nation al forests within our borders. ' Not only will operations in these forests enrich the state by putting money In circulation and furnishing a field tor labor, but 26 per cent of the gross returns from sale of national forest products Is by law payable Into the state treasury, while an additional 10 per cent can be used only for roads and trails In these forests. Oregon's Btate board believes that forest matters, because of need for (Continued on Page 6.) Socialists In Tokio Raided By The Police (B, United I'rnia U;Th. IWml Bullatln) 4 TOKIO, Dec. 11.
