Lumber and Wood Products Industry Slated for Tax Cut
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribun Washington
Correspondent
Washington -(Special) -The
lumber and wood products in
dustry will get a tax cut of
from $20 to $25 million this
1-ii.iwih year as icsuu
J Ul i II c icii-
neay rtuiniiua

schedule for
d e p reciating

When Treas-
.1 ury Secretary
Douglas D 1 1
lon announc
ed the new
for business
Smith
tax guidelines
last weeK.
He said il would save corpo
rations and other reporting
business income about $1.5
billion a year. The Treasury
Department estimates that
about $20 million of this will
be saved by the lumber and
wood products industry, but
the National Lumber Manu
facturers Association believes
it will run to $25 million.
The tax savings are pos
sible if businesses depreciate,
or write-off as tax deductions,
the total value of new equip
ment over a shorter period of
time. The government adopt
ed the faster write-of&'sched-ule
as an inducement to busi
ness to invest more capital in
new equipment, which will
help industry to compete bet
ter with foreign manufactur
ers and will aid the national
economy. Dillon noted that
the steel Industry expected to
invest its $40 million saving
in modern equipment.
Adopted To Latter
The changes In depreciation
schedules for the lumber In
dustry were based on recom
mendations submitted in June
by a committee of lumber in
dustry executives. The Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers
Association reports that the
Treasury adopted the Indus
try's suggestions "to the let
ter." Among those Industry
executives were the following
with Northwest companies:
Mils B. Hull, Hull Lumber
and Plywood Co.; Harry J.
Kane, Georgia-Pacific Corp.;
N. B. Livermore, Jr. Pacific
Lumber Co.; Arthur McCourt,
Weyerhatiser Co.: and Harold
F. Stevens, St. Regis Paper
Co.
The NLMA observed that
"firms in the lumber-wood
products - furniture industry
gained much more under the
new rules than did companies
in most other industry classi
fications, particularly wood's
competitors.
' Under the new Treasury
rules, production machinery
and equipment used in log
ging and portable sawmills
and road building is given a
"guideline life" of 6 years,
which is what the industry
recommended. Previously, the
depreciation life was 10 to 15
years for logging equipment
and 10 to 12 years for port
able sawmill machinery.
For permanent or wcll
cstablished sawmills, the new
guidelines provide a life of
10 years for production ma
chinery, as recommended by
the Industry, compared with
the old rule requiring 20 to
25 years.
Machinery used In the man
ufacture of lumber, plywood
veneers, furniture, flooring
and other wood products Is
given a life of 10 years, also,
compared with 10 to 25 years

LOCAL PATRONS ARE ADVISED TO MAKE THEIR RESERVATIONS

Heavy traffic to and from the Seattle World's

encourages local patrons to make their reserva
tions immediately.

in the past. NLMA said the
average period in the past has
been 16 to 18 years.
Among other examples of
faster write-offs that will con
ceivably help lumber compan
ies are these: office furniture,
fixtures, machines and equip-ment-10
years; general pur
pose trucks under 13,000
pounds-4 years; and trucks
over 13,000 pounds-6 years
tractor units (over-the-road)-
4 years; trailers and trailer
mounted containcrs-8 years
and vessels, barges, tugs and
similar water transportation
units-18 years.
On the question of lumber
coming out better than com
peting Industries, NLMA not
ed that "the 10-year guide
line for lumber-wood prod
ucts-furniture is well below
the IB years for steel, 14
years for aluminum, 12 years
for fabricated metal products,
20 years for cement, 14 years
for glass products and 15
years for stone and clay prod
ucts."
In presenting Its recommen
dations to the government,
the Industry cited such fac
tors as the Inroads on wood's
markets by competitive ma
terials and increased competi
tion from abroad.
