The T im b en n a u : As the question of conserving our presen t forests a n d re fore sting our logged off lands is now comm a tiding so much atten tio n , a few obse rvations from oue who baa given th e subject eousiderable though t may uot be out of place. People who are dealing with statistic and theories tell us th at our fores ts will be practically exhausted in fifty years it the present rate of c u ttin g ; an d a the rate of consumption will undoubt edly increase, it would seem t h a t our only hope of a supply for fu ture gener ations is in growing more trees. The quest io 11 of conserving a n d pro ecting our fore sts a n d raising another crop of tim ber to t a k e the place of the one we are now cu ttin g and destroying is purely an economic one, a n d uot gov rue.l by academic theories. Hence, we will conserve an d protect our present forests, p lan t a n d raise a new crop of trees on our logged off lands j u st as soon as we find out t h a t it pays to do so. The w riter remembers doing a lot of har d work, in early life, alon g with tnuijf others, des troying our fores ts th at we might raise grain an d gar den truck to eat a n d hay for our stock; an d w hyf Because these things to us had a value an d trees had none. We could not ea them an d nobody w an ted to buy them But m ark the change today. The tree have a value; our lorests ar e a t the present time one of the chief sources of altli to tho sta te s along the Pacific Coast, an d where the conditions for re fore sting are so favorable, they can be made a source of wealth lo r all time to ome. But as ap proxim ately only 20 per cent of the sta n d in g tim ber of the ouutry is iu th e hands of the govern m eat an d ab out 80 per cent u nder pri vale ownership, the question of refor (.‘.station prese nts some serious difiicul ties. What is the age of our present for t s f What are the means to be em ployed to reio rest our logged-off lands What length of tim e will it t a k e f What HMiefits can bo derived# An d then the g reat question, Will it pay# To the first question, 1 would answer ‘ From loo to 400 y e a r s . " The na ional governm ent is a t the p resent time leathering the d a t a to answer questions wo an d three. The w riter has made some observa lions reg ard in g th e growth of timber, which lead him to believe t h a t growing timber will pay. I have found trees 135 years obi 52 inches iu diameter on the tump, t h a t cut over six thousa nd feet mer ch an tab le lumber. The annual growth showed these trees were nehes 011 the stump a t 40 y ears anil at th at time should cut 900 feet of lumber, From my observations, extending over ral sections o f timber, 100 trees 16 to 18 inches iu diam eter can be grown ich acre in 40 y ears a n d these will • 30,000 fe et of mer ch an tab le him ber; these same trees will cu t 75,000 feet it the end o f 125 years. The jucstion is. W h at will be the value of this 30,000 feet of tim ber grown ou an in 40 y ears or the 75,000 feet grown on an acre in 125 year s? I will hazard a guess t h a t 30,000 feet of ■Handing tim ber will be worth $8 per thousand in 40 years, an d t h a t a n a> f land planted to fir trees will earn $6 per y e a r for the entire period, not an tin g the small trees th at can be tak en out and utilized for wood, posts mil poles during the 40 years. I do not t h in k there is an y use to which we can put our mountainous, ky, logged off’ lands th at will yieli much wealth, though to the indi vidual 10 y ears is a long time to wait tor a harvest, b i t not long to the state or nation. To my mind, the phase of the ques lion t h a t presen ts the most serious diffi ulties is the problem of taxation. 1 have no hesita tion in saying t h a t our resent system of taxa tion, particularly eg ard in g growing tim ber, is all wrong do not propose to discuss the m atter is to w hether the tim ber in terests have »aid too much or too little of the taxes n the past or a t the present time, but 1 system t h a t does not tax the growing crops of the farm er , the gardener , or tho fru it grower, au d taxes tho growing rop of tim ber over an d over, an d a t a rate th at will confiscate the en tir e crop in to 35 years, when it tak es from 40 to 100 y ears to raise this crop, is cer a inly open to valid objection. As a m bstitnte for our presen t system of ax ing tim ber, based on values, I would nlvocato a c u ttin g tax to be paid when lie tim b er is cut; a portion o f th is tax o be set aside to b ear the expense of efore station by the sta te ; a n d a por ion to pay the expense of protecting ur present forests from fire a n d depre lat ion. 1 shall not attem p t in this article to liter into the details o f such a scheme, am told on good au th o rity t h a t r a i l ng trees by the s ta te or national gov ent pays in European countries.
