PORTLAND. Ore., March 28.
'(A') Oregon's action in putting tax
ation on cutovor timber lands on
a flat five cents an aero basis is
a ''remarkable and progressive
step," K. 10. Carter, assistant
Culled States forester, Washington.
I, C., said today.' Carter arrived
in the city for u few days.-
'J'lie law as passed by thu last
'U'KU!'tUUl(.ey1l:i I'oi'.Uie Ju luj; i y
cut over tlmljor lands and provides
for a I2!i: per, cent levy on the
lands when they come into bearing
again.
"This new law Is noteworthy for
Oregon's vast timber supply Is stilt
far from depleted, and it shows an
obvious Intent to keep the timber
areas In production and to keep
them In the hands of their original
timber-milling owners," Cater said.
"Under the former tax system
many vast tracts of what was once
forest reverted to the stale and be
came 'no man's land.' Such tracts
do not contribute anything to coun
ty, state or nation."
As assistant to Major II. Y.
Stuart, chief forester. Carter's du
ties are concerned with forest man
agement and forest planting.
"Don't get planting confused
with reforestation," the govern
ment employe said. "Plan ling Is
an expensive, artificial process only
used where reforestation cannot be
carrlud on because of isolation or
natural conditions over which man
has no control. An ordinary cut-,
over or burned over tract ndjaeent
to thick forest stands will grow its
burden of young trees with little j
trouble, insure a' supply of seed '
ami keep (he fire out of tin.1 bared
iraels ami nature will do th rest."
