CRITICIZING THE GOVERNOR
STATEHOUSE GOSSIP
(Continued froni page orie)
Legislation placing mature tim
ber on a more equitable tax basis
to perpetuate Oregon’s timber sup
ply is urged by the state forester,
in his annual report, tiled with Gov
ernor Martin this week. The re
port also recommends that the
state acquire a large area of tim
bered land as an aid to the stabili
zation of forest land ownership.
The state forester also declares
that the lumber industry owes a
social responsibility to do what
ever is economically possible to in
sure permanent communities thru
perpetuation of the timber supply
but points out that many operators
are financially unable to carry on
such a program under existing con
ditions.
