also an adjustment of the methods of
taxing forest growing lands so as to
avoid an undue burden of current
taxation while forests are growing.
Tho committee held that the main
lines of attack in accomplishing this
purpose should be:
To extend public forest ownership
In areas where special, public inter
ests or responsibilities are involved,
like the protection of navigable rivers
and also where the natural difficulties
costs and hazards attending refores
tation render it impracticable or re
mote as a private undertaking. .
To remove the risk and handicaps
from private timber growing as far
as practicable, in order to give the
greatest possible Incentive to com
mercial reforestation.
