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. Is a payment for timber
title to which had passed from the 1
government aid for which the gov
ernment had already gotten value
received in construction of the railroad.'1
