HARDWOOD RECORD 



19 



The May "Official Bulletin" of the National Hardwood Lumber 

 Association declares that never before in the whole career of this 

 organization has it approached the twelfth-month terminus of its 

 yearly activities with greater assurance of a successful finish. 

 That the forthcoming meeting will be an outstanding success is 

 now absolutely certain, and that it is destined to be such is emi- 

 nently fitting in view of what the association has accomplished 

 during the past year to justify its cause and confirm tho charter 

 of its existence. All counter currents, notwithstanding it is closing 

 one of the best years in its history and which achievement, every- 

 thing considered, is one worthy of special observance.

 bo an outpouring from every hardwood mai-ki't and section, lioth in this

 organizations have taken offleial action in the matter and are rounding up 

 their members and regional lunihernien for the purpose of bringing them 

 to the convention in bodies. Iti a number of instances special train service 

 has been provided for. Nevci' before has such thoroughgoing and wide- 

 spread interest been shown.

Analyzing the Two Capper Bills 



Due to the thoughtfulncss of Dr. William Compton, secretary 

 manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, in 

 preparing a parallel analysis of the Cajiper Forestrj' Bill as it was 

 originally introduced in 1920 and as it has been introduced again 

 in 1921, members of the lumber and allied industries will be able, 

 with comparative ease, to get at the differences between the orig- 

 inal and the altered measure. In his analysis Dr. Compton calls 

 especial attention to the significant changes in the methods of 

 enforcement. The analysis follows: 



(1920) Title of the Bill (1921) 



"To yircvent the devastation "To control forest devasta- 



of forest lands, to perpetuate tion, to perpetuate forests in 



the forest resources of the 

 United States, to avert the de- 

 struction of the lumber and 

 wood using industries, and for 

 other purposes." 



the United States, to raise a 

 revenue from forest products 

 and for other purposes." 



To Whom Legislation Would Apply 



Farm lots specifically ex- 

 cluded. 



Commercial forests excluded, 

 which so-called "Federal For- 

 est Commission" believes may 

 bo exempted "with safetj' to 

 the public interest." 



Xo specific exemptions. 



By Whom Shall PoUcy Be Determined 



Broad discretionary authority 

 lodged in so-called "Federal 

 Forest Commission," consisting 

 of Secretary of Labor, Secre- 

 tary of Agriculture and chair- 

 man of the Federal Trade Com- 

 mission. 



Discretionary authority lodged 

 with Secretarj' of Agriculture. 



Provision that secretary be- 

 fore making any regulations 

 shall seek the advice of a so- 

 called "advisory board" con- 

 sisting of state forestrj- officials,
