Two Timber Tax
Plans Drawn by
Interim Group
Salem- IUPII -The Legislative
Interim Tax committee Satur
day emerged with two timber
taxation plans to submit to
the 1961 legislature, one for
Eastern Oregon and the other
for Western Oregon.
Because of the nature of the
pine forests in Eastern Oregon
in that various age classes of
timber must grow on the same
acre the committee recom
mended removal of collection
of property taxes on the basis
of value. These property taxes
would be collected instead
through a harvest or sever
ance tax at the time the tim
ber is removed from the
ground.
Separate rates would exist
for various species. The rate
for ponderosa pine would be
S1.50 for a thousand board
feet. A spokesman said in or
der to prevent removal of this
timber from the bonding base
the present values of timber
would be continued on the tax
rolls and adjusted periodical
ly. The severance tax money
would be distributed to all
counties and taxing units in
relation to the present stand
ing timber. Standing timber
would be checked periodical
ly to accomplish equitable dis
tribution. The committee adopted a
proposal by the Industrial
Forestry association for tim
ber taxation in western Ore
gon. The proposal provides
that the determination of the
discount factor from immedi
ate harvest value of standing
timber would be set by the
legislature at 30 per cent.
Presently this discount is de
termined by the State Tax
commission.
The committee was not cer
tain that its recommendations
should apply to growing tim
ber and while it adopted the
Industrial Forestry associa
tion's proposal, a subcommit
tee was named .to further ex
plore the taxation of growing
timber.

OF SMITH & MEN
By Jack Smith
(c) 1060 Times-Mirror Syndicate
The Parkinsonia aculeata is
gone. We cut it off at the base
with an axe and a big-toothed
saw and threw it down the
canyon.
I don't know if cutting
down a tree is against any
statutes, but it appears to be
against the moral law. Nobody
talks to me any more.
I think I have a right to
explain my position,
It was a beautiful tree,
with millions of little yellow
flowers. I . admit that. In
spring, when it was in its
glory, it was abuzz with
bronze bumblebees. There
was music in that tree.
But it was too full of life;
too fertile. It dripped seeds
that sprang to ' life in the
ground. We were always
fighting its offspring. The
neighbors were forever call
ing us and saying, "I think
we have another of your trees
in our lawn."
It grew bigger and bigger
with the years and I looked
at it one day and knew it was
bigger than all of us. I felt
that if I let it grow one more
day I would never be able to
stop it.
I told the boys to cut it
down, at the usual 75 cents
an hour,
"Pa," one of them said,
"money isn't everything. Does
mama know about this?"
Every once in a while I
have to remind them who's
running this place. The Park
insonia aculeata is not an or
dinary tree. It has not one
but several trunks. It has to
overdue everything.
They set to work. I was
listening to the radio, trying
to drown out the sound of the
axe, when the phone rang. It
was Dalton. He was looking
at us through his spyglass
again.
"What are you doing,
Smith," he said. "Cutting
down a tree?"
"It's only that old Parkin
sonia aculeata," I explained.
"It was becoming, a nuisance."
"Don't forget, Smith," Dal
ton said, "poems are made by
fools like you and me."
He hung up but that wasn't
the end of it. Dr. Hegenspeiler
phoned. He is a well educated
and moral man.
"You are cutting down your
tree," he said.
"Yes," I said. "I know that."
"How do you justify this?"
he said.
I explained about its size
and fecundity.

SPACIOUS PARKING LOT
"Jack," said Dr. Hegen
speiler, "you are rationalizing.
Every time a man cut down
a tree he rationalizes."
Then Woolard called. He
lives right across the canyon
and can see what is going on
without a spyglass. He is an
artist and a profoundly sensi
tive man.
"Why?" he asked. "That's
all I want to know. Why?"
I explained about its size
and fecundity.
"Jack, I think you're ration
alizing," he said.
"Woolard," I said, "you've
been talking to Dr. Hegen
speiler." Then my wife came home.
I told her about it. Her eyes
misted over. She went into
the kitchen and looked down
at where the tree had been.
"I used to stand here at the
sink," she said, "washing
dishes, and the tree was so
pretty, all yellow, with the
bees buzzing around I never
minded washing the dishes
when I had the tree."
Dalton called. "Only God
can make a tree, Smith," he
said.
I wonder if I've been ration
alizing again.

plication for a loan. Some
mmgs are better left out.
"Evervthine is a blank nnlil
I was nine years old and fell
off a horziontal bar and broke
my left elbow.
"The next thincr T rfmm
ber I left college to become a
sports writer on the Bakers
field Californian, where I
learned how to score baseball
games and spell.
"I was working on the Hon
olulu Advertiser in Honolulu,
T.H., on December 7, 1941,
and I was just as surprised
as the Army and Navy when
the Japanese bombed us.
Lost His Typewriter
"In World War II I was a
combat correspondent with
the U.S. Marine Corps and
was present at the battle of
low Jima, where I disting
uished myself by losing my
portable tyepriter on D Day.
"Since the war I have work
ed on a half a dozen West
Coast newspapers as a report
er and writer, including two
which sank into oblivion soon
after I left them.
"For the past six years I
have been employed by the
Los Angeles Times, which
does not seem likely to pass
on whether I go or stay.
"I am a domesticated but
not wholly tamed American
male of an age at which you
are supposed to stop doing
certain things and start doing
certain other things, none of
which I have done.
"I live with my wife and
our two sons, 12 and 14, on
Mt. Washington, a rundown,
scraggy hill which is still in
fested by skunks, foxes, coy
otes and tarantulas.
Wants to Write Book
"I am not what you would
call an outdoor man but I
like to look out the window.
Someday I hope to write a
book about the marine life of
the Tahitian coral reefs. My
wife is president of the PTA
We have two dogs and a cat
which has been missing since
June 17, 1958, which was my
19th wedding anniversary"
