This timber, if stand- ing, would be worth at least $240, 000, 000. 00, and would pay annual tax of $2, 000, 000. 00, where now practically no tax revenue is derived. For every thousand feet of timber burned, the owner loses the value of the stumpage, about $2. 00, while the public loses about $8. 00, the amount that would have been expended for labor and supplies in manufacturing it into lumber. Forest Protection Work Conducted by Timber Owners and the State The present Forestry Board was crea...ted in 1911. It is a nonpolitical board, composed of the Governor, head of the Forest School at the Oregon Agricultural College, and five additional members, each representing and selected by one of the following organizations: Oregon State Grange, Oregon Forest Fire Association, Oregon Lumber Manufacturers' Association, United States Forest Service, Oregon Woolgrowers' Association. Because four times as much timber has been burned as has been manufactured and because the loss to the public when timber is burned is greater than the loss to the timber owners, the board considered its primary duty was to reduce the heavy annual loss from forest fires.
