Taxation Authority Would
Be Misplaced, Declares
State Executive
Doubt Expressed as to Con
stitutionality of Manner
Of Appointment
SALEM, Ore., March 5. 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,"
