OP) Ob jection to the power whih would be given the state bonrd of forestry un der the act, Governor Pierce yester day vetoed the reforestation bill on which State Forester Elliott and other members of the state board of forestry worked for months prior to the convening of the recent legisla ture. The governor's main objection is to the power of taxation which would be given the board. A board, he says, is neither put into office by the elec torate nor by any other governmental agency, and he points out that under the measure it might be possible for a majority of the board to be controll ed by non-residents of the state and at the same time exercise the power of taxation under the act. The gover nor expresses doubt as to the. con stitutionality of t.he manner in which the board of forestry is appointed and suggests that it should be tested out in court. Objects to Contract. The governor also objects strongly to the 60 year contract provision in the measure. "This bill provides , a method of taxation on deforested lands and tim ber not yet of merchantable size," (Continued on page aix) 1,'OItTl.ANH, Ore., Manb 5. 1'r. Herbel f.
