Archaic taxation of the new crop, if it escapes fire, con fiscates its value before it can be harvested. American forest week in Oregon is to remind us that we are nearly across with our community responsi bility, but not quite. The chain is no stronger than its weakest links. Our two weak links are unscientific taxation of new forest crops and a tendency to regard forest fire as a visitation of abstract natural forces like storm, flood and earthquake. It is not fire, but the hand that lights it, that is the public enemy. Eduea tion must go as far as it can and then the irreducible minimum of fire brands must no longer be harbored but made to know the public will tolerate them no more than it tol erates the killer, the pervert and the thief. Forest land must be kept working to maintain payrolls, pay the tax it can pay, use our farmer’s crops, keep our counties permanent ly colvent, support our banks, stores and professional men, invite new in dustry. It will not do this in full measure until as a community we are forest-minded, fire-conscious, tax wise and personally responsible.
