LUMBER TRUST HOLDINGS.

Herbert Knox smith. commissioner of corporations. has transmitted to tn, president the frts methOdiCal and comprehensive report ever made con corning the national timber resources.
 The report IS cry of alarm at a spectacle of enormous waste and mon opoly lt points to the imperative necessity of revising our public policy in the management of the timber lands that still remain under govern 9 ment control
 Forty years ago about three fourths Of the timber now standing was pub licly owned Now about four- fifths of i; is privately owned
 In large part rhe public timber land has been sold at a dollar and a quar- ter an acre. under an intellectual law. intended to encourage small holdings by actual settlers. which has been misused and misinterpreted in the in- terest of spectators bent upon ac- quiring vast tracts
 
 This report shows that l95 holders now own 40 per cent of the private timber lands in the United States that 1902 of the largest holders have a total of ss.57s.OOO acres-about enough to make a belt fifty miles wide reaching across the continent.
 Thus there is a tendency. now near ly consummated. toward a centralized control of the lumber industry-a control that will enable narrow monopoly to set its own price upon one of the prime necessaries of life.
 During the last generation the value of timber lands has increased ten. twenty or even fifty fold-according to varying local conditions. And the present annual growth is only about one-third of the present annual cut and consumption.
 Thus it is hard to set a limit to the prices that can be extorted from the people for an indispensable prod uct of which the supply is rapidly di- minishins.
