State Land Commissioner Wildey
is in favor of the enactment of a law
which will provide for the issuing
OF timber deeds by the state to pur-
chasers of timber on state lands.
He believes that such a law would
be material saving to the state.
Under the present system lumber
men purchase state lands, and after
stripping them OF the timber fail to
pay taxes upon them and permit
them to revert to the state. This
system entails upon the state the
expense OF assessing these lands for
several years, and OF finally adver-
tising them for sale, paying the cost
OF publication, etc, and bidding
them in to the state. All this ex-
pense could be saved by the enact
ment Of the law proposed and the
lumbermen would pay as much for
the timber alone as they would for
the land and timber, the former be-
ing ali they desire, in any event.
