Irt.. ...ill l..ftnuitVii.P cnli- i sidy, exemittlon or bounty, but wilH be compatible with the long-crop rotation uf timber farming. We have drewn up several prin ciple and statements of policy, which we believe should guide the framing of such legislation, xome of theuj based on the experience of other statea and all reached only after much thought and discussion. 1. Objective of Forest Tux leg Is hitloii. ( 1 ) To encourugu pri vate owners to hold title to, and to protect from fire, logged lands for timber-growing purposes; (2) To continue to raise from such lands a reasonable current tax revenue. 2. Desirability for Immediate Action. In the face of a growing acreage of abandoned and tax de linquent forest lands (now over ono million acres) the problem is becoming acute and early action will save a correspondingly larger acreage to the tax rolls and to con tinued forest productivity. The feifernl forest tax Inquiry Into the principles of forest taxation will not release its conclusions for two or three years and leglslution uch a now proposed will not prevent ben efiting by that study later, when its results are available. 'i. ChiMM of I-'iiul .AffiH'tcil by Such lH'gi-bitiim. It Is proposed that thhi legislation apply only to cut -over or burned land suitable primarily for forest production.! and that the law allow the inclu sion as "reforestation land of all forest ncreage which is now grow-j Ing or may grow forest crops, and j exclude all lands which are now supporting mature forest growth in merchantable quantities. , The law should also provide that) if lands listed as reforestation lands; have now or develop later values J olher than for forest growing, such I other values may be the basis for j as-iesmeni and taxation In addi-1 lion to the annual reforestation' land tax and yield tax. I. System nf Taxation. Of the three principal systems for taxing' forest lands that have been pro-1 posed, namely a pure land tax. n pure yield tax, nud a combination of the annual land tax and the yield tax; the majority of the com-J mitlee favors the last as beat suit-! ed to Oregon's present conditions and as most likely to correct the present unsatisfactory situation. . Oregon has more .standing tlm-' her than any olher stale. The Htunipnge value of litis Umber Is four hundr'-d million dollars. Two thirds of the iuduf-trial payroll of Oregon is derived from its wood using industries. Timber in the state's greatest re sourcea resource which If pro tected may be perpetuated Indefi nitely: Neglected, it Is certain to be lost. The first necessary step toward the perpetuation of our forests is the enactment of proper forest tax legislation. .tnch as is forecast in these recommendations.
