Forest Tax Study
For the Northwest
A forest tax stury will be begun
In Oregon this summer by Fred R.
Falrchlld, professor of political ec
onomy at Yale university, accord
ing to an announcement by the
U. S. Forest Service.
The conclusion of the fact-finding
invstigatio l which has been under
way for some time in the Lake
states by the U. S. Forest Taxation
inquliy, will end shortly, after
which work in the Pacific North
west will be begun. Professor Fair-
child with his party expects to
reach Portland between June 15
and June 30.
Preliminary work in preparation
for the gathering of field data In
the two or three states next to be
studied, and possibly the beginning
01 tne new work in the New Eng
land region is contemplated. In
June, the field Investigation of the
Pacific Coast region, with Oregon
as the key state, will begin.
The Fprest Taxation Inquiry is
being conducted uncier the terms of
the Clarke-McNary law. The work
was begun in Minnesota in 1926,
find a large amount of valuable
data has been collected in the three
lake states, with the cooperation of
local Interests. In a progress re
port on the inquiry, just issued,
Professor Fairchild states that the
research project of the Inquiry is
national in scope and its plan of
study contemplates field Investiga
tions in each of the more important
torest regions of the United States.
"Since each state has a financial
and taxation system of its own," he
says, "It is necessary to make the
state the primary unifc of the study.
First of all there Is gathered mater
ial sufficient to present a clear pic
ture or the financial structure and
tax system of the state as a whole,
Including a general view of the fin
ances and taxation of Its counties,
towns, or townships, and other local
suodivislons. Thereafter selection
is made of certain counties or
towns for upeclal intensive investi
gation, intended to bring to light
all obtainable facts bearing upon
the tax situation with special ref
erence to forest property.
"In all of this, the aim is to ac
quire a broad foundation of facts
relating to the whole financial sys
tem, by no means limited to those
taxes only which are Imposed upon
the forests. Forest taxation can
not be successfully studied unless
the taxation of forests is fitted Into
its proper place in the whole pic
ture of state and local revenues and
expenditures."
Professor Fairchild emphasizes
that the Inquiry at present is strict
ly a fact-finding organization. The
time for conclusions and recom
mendations, he says, will come
later.
Hamilton Fish Favors
Duty on Farm Products
Hamilton Fish, Jr., Republican
of New York and candidate for the
nomination for vice president at
the Oregon primary election, says:
The Democratic party has recent
ly proclaimed Its faith in a revision
of the tariff downward, and has
evidently put it forward as one of
the main campaign Issues for 1928.
There is not much difference in
the principles between the two
great parties at the present time,
and nil Republicans must rejoice
and look forward to giving battle
once again on the issue of affording
adequate protection to American
wage earners and to American in
dustry. The prosperity of our
country has been built upon the
protective principle which has riiade
possible th-. American standard of
wages and of living. Our wage
earners are the best paid, best
housed, bed. clothed and most con
tented in the world. Revise the
tariff dov.nwc.rd and permit com
petition from the underpaid labor
of Europe or the far East and the
economic supremacy of the United
States will crumble and the disas
trous days of 1914 will be revived
with its soup kitchens, and millions
of unemployed. As a Republican I
trust that the Democratic party will
porsist In the error of Its ways and
in its antiquated efforts to destroy
the American standard of wnges
and or' livinp becuuse such an isu

Mr. Fish who represents one of
the largest dairy districts In the
United States, declares, "Instead of
revising the tariff downward, I be
lieve that the time has come when
jfiicr.lturil products should be giv
en the same amount of protection
ib other industries. The farmers of
both the East and West have to
buy in a protective market and sell
in competition with the rest of the
world. The remedy is not in a down
ward revision of the tariff, but In
affording adequate protection on
what farmers produce; they are en
titled to the same consideration as
other protected indjstries, no more
or no less. Believing that the prin
ciple of equality ar.d parity is sound
and that industries should be treat
ed alike without favoritism, I have
introduced a bill to increase the
duties on various farm products,
which are suffering from foreign
competition such, as dairy products,
egss, vegetables, my and poultry.
It seems to me to be fair and just
that the rates on agricultural pro
du'ctfi should be on a level compar
able to the rates that are effective
in other Industries. I believe it
would be practical to pass a spe
cial emergency tariff bill limited to
providing adequate protection on
agricultural products. If the gov
ernment affords proper and reason
able" protection to the farmer, it
will increase his buying power and
thereby help other American in
dustries.

In discussing the candidates for nomination for Representative, , the Oregon Voter
said concerning Mr. Notson:
"S. E, Notson of Heppner has a war record and a record In office and In politics that
makes htm a formidable contender. His war record consists not only in the contribution
of two patriotic sons, one of whom enlisted before a state of war was declared and the
other Immediately thereafter, but In his capable energy In war work. What Notson did
In war drives will not be forgotten by those who were associated with him. He was on
the job dnv and night, with industry and fervor, and showed capacity for leadership.
IF ELECTED, HE WOULD PROVE EFFECTIVE IN CONGRESS."
