P3TGE EIGHT MEDFORD MIE TRIBTjyE, 5IEDFORD. OREGOX. TTEDNESDXY, JULY 10, 1935. 0-C HOOKUP IL ITH Would Be Changed to Forest Service Handled On Sustained Yield Basis Means Long Program SALEM, July 10. (AP) Consid erable Interest wm manifest here to day by the 18 counties In which the O & C land grant timber la located as to the proposal presented the state planning board for financing the conotructlon of a new state capi tal. The planning board progress re port made public yesterday listed the proposal for consideration a explained by District Attorney Guy Cordon of Roseburg, representing the committee from these counties. Kls plan, nfter reviewing the history of the O. & C. grant, was as fol lows: "The plan embod les the recom mendation that the O. As C. grant lands be changed In administrative head from the department of the Interior to the forest service, that they be handled on a sustained yield basis; that the tax equity of the land grant counties, which was al ways recocntzed by that committee, ba deemed to be equal to 2fl per cent of the annual yield value of that grant which will approximate about 40 per cent of the tax equity on an ad valorem basis, This wm the original proposal. "Since the fire the committee recommends the plan be mod t fled to the extent that Instead of the trans- fer of the net portion of the grant: I that Is the portion remaining after there haa been transferred to the forest service of enough to retire the present deficit . . . that the govern ment acquire that grant substan tially on the baala that It expects to acquire private property by pay ing for it, by buying for the state of Oregon Its beneficial Interest in it. "The value of the grant la reason ably 20,ooo,ooo . . . The grant would be reduced In amount substantially $7,000,000 to take care of deficit to government, between $500,000 and $1,000,000 to take care of county ac crued claims, the totnl will be $B,- 000,000 atlll $12,000,000 capital value there, "Our suggestion Is that of that amount $2,000,000 flrat b reserved , to the federal government aa a trust fund to take care of payment of tax equities until sale of timber under sustained yield will meet the annual requirement. Prom the balance or $10,000,000 there be set aside what ever la neceeenry to construct a atnte cap) tot for Oregon, aay $4,000,000; that the balance of the capital value of the grant. In the neighborhood of $0,000,000, be paid to the state of Oregon and become an Irreducible fund the Interest of which will be used In perpetuity for acquisition and protection and administration of atate-owned forests. "That will permit the state to co operate with the federal government and make In Oregon a perpetual '. timber reservoir and give us a per- I petual lumbering Industry and the appropriation necessary so far as the United States government la con-1 corned.
