(Continued from page 24) 

 entitled to protection just as much as is the city property holdor, 

 tlie lumberman will under proper conditions share, through further 

 taxation, the expense of patrol and defense against fires. 



Holding that it would be unconstitutional to compel private own- 

 ers to grow trees for the benefit of the public, the letter stated 

 that this action is a private obligation and that no step forward 

 can be taken until that principle is accepted. 



M. J. Fox, president, was in the chair and addressed the meeting 

 briefly admonishing members to run if they possibly could in 

 order to maintain dependable workers. 



Due to the rapid liquidation of all goods, Mr. Fox expressed a 

 great deal of hope for the future. 



Other regular reports were made, E. B. Goodman, chairman of the 

 committee on labor, maintaining that labor has not yet come down 

 with the liquidation of living costs and must do so. 



A. L. Osborn, chairman of the bureau of transportation and 

 legislation, referred to apparently favorable efforts to reduce 

 coast rates on products of the association, the rate west being 

 106% cents as against a 7.3 cent rate east for western production. 



After luncheon, E. A. Hamar reported on legislative matters in 

 the upper peninsula and Ray McQuillan, chairman of the inspec- 

 tion committee, reported for that body. 



Edward Hines of Chicago offered a resolution which was passed, 

 protesting against the practice of selling combined firsts and sec- 

 onds and selects without specifying percentages. In commenting on 

 market conditions, Mr. Hines was hopeful for the future and stated 

 that with the deplorable present conditions of lower grades, he was 

 withdrawing all No. 3 common from the market at his Park Falls 

 mills until it might be possible to realize $15 a thousand for this 

 grade at tho mill. 



A. H. Klass, chairman of the committee of statistics and educa- 

 tional information, maintained that business so far this year has been 

 only fifty to sixty per cent normal. Selects and better grades are 



below normal; No. 1 common practically normal, and Xo. 2 or No. 3 

 common considerably above normal in supply. 



The following in part is the resolution which defines the association's 

 stand on a national forestry policy : 



"First, we recognize the necessity of providing ample timber supplies for 

 future generations ; 



"Second, that reforestation should be practiced by private enterprise 

 whenever it is demonstrated to be economically and financially possible ; 



"Third, that the work of demonstrating the practicability of methods 

 for successful reforestation is a governmental function ; 



"Fourth, that the principles of co-operation between the Federal and 

 state governments and private owners, as enunciated in the Snell bill, be 

 approved : 



"Fifth, that the Snell bill be indorsed whenever by investigation and 

 practical experiment it is determined that the purposes stated in same are 

 attainable and desirable, and the essential requirements of a policy that 

 will accomplish such purposes are clearly stated in the bill : 



"Sixth, any forestry legislation should definitely assure to the private 

 citizen his constitutional rights of the possession of the fruits of his labor, 

 and of the ownership and direction of his property ; and 



"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we recognize that among the 

 things desired to be accomplished for the protection of young timber 

 growth are the following: 



"First, control, and where possible, the elimination of fires ; 



"Second, increased utilization of forest material by improved methods 

 of manufacture and liuilding construction ; 



"Third, adoption of such tax laws as will provide the states with neces- 

 sary revenues while forest lands are exempted from taxation to encourage 

 forest growth ; 



"Fourth, amendment and modification of Federal and state anti-trust 

 laws to permit a reasonable co-operation among lumber manufacturers, 

 under the supervision of the courts, for the purpose of eliminating uneces- 

 sary and destructive competition in the wasteful production of lumber In 

 excess of public requirements ; and. 



"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Northern Hemlocl! and Hard- 

 wood Manufacturers' -Association offer and extend to the forestry author- 

 ities of the Federal and state governments the fullest co-operation, in mak- 

 ing comprehensive demonstrations and field investigations to determine 

 the 'essential requirements' necessary to successfully promote practical 

 forestry practices."
