Of possible solutions of certain grave
problems involved in the present con-

try's total supply of merchantable

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The con
centratfon into the hands of few
powerful interests of an enormous per-
centage of the tirnberlands Of the
United States has created a problem
so grave for the nation in the judg-
ment of Luther Conant, Jr., Commits
sioner of Corporations that today he
recommended to President Taft that
the existing national forests not only
be retained by the federal government,
but Increased as far as practicable.
This note of warning was sounded
by the commissioner in forwarding to
the President the full text Of part /
Of the bureau of corporations investi-
cation of the lumber industry made by
direction Of Congress. A summary of
this report, showing the extent of con-
centrated control of timberiands was
sent to the President and published
nearly two years ago.
To increase government ownership
of forest lands the commissioner urges
that the forests of Alaska be included
in reserve, as we'll as all timbered
lands recovered in forfeiture suits. He
advises q further searching inquiry
into land grants of the past with the
view of instituting additional forfeit
ure suits If the facts justify the pro-
eedure.
Issues Warning.
Mr. Conant warns that attempts are
still being made to secure the trans
fer of public timberlands to private
owners under the same pleas of settle
ment which in the past often proved
wholly specious and insincere."
Much of the cumberland still re-
naming in public ownership contin-
ues the commissioner lis adapted only
for timber purposes, All that could
be properly asked by a bonaride set
tier is the surface of arabic land after
the timber has been removed, but too
frequently back of the argument made
in the name of the settler is the de-
sire to acquire the timber or other
natural resources rather than the soil
itself. II seems desirable, therefore,
to direct public attention to the funda-
mental difference between disposinG
of agricultural lands to actuai settlers,
whose industry contributes directly TO
the material and social upbuilding of
the community, and the alienation OF
virgin tfmberlands. which do not re
auire, and, indeed. hardly permit OF
Improvement by private owners. and
the value of which is rapidly rising be-
cause of reduction in the supply and
the increase in population. The pub,
Tic service involved in the mere spec,
uIative holding of this timber for an
advance in price, under present condi
lions of settlement Of the country, is
practically negligible, When, more
over. such lands become concentrate
ed in a comparatively few hands,

ers; companies in which the A. B:
Hammond Company of New Jersey, is
the principal interest; and the timber
interests of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound Railway Company tsub-
sidiary to the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway Company.
After enormous sales, the commits.
sioner points out that the Southern
Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe own
together 33,500,000 acres of timbered
and no-timbered lands, an area as
large as England.
The Amalgamated Copper Co., Mr..
Conant adds, owns over 1000, 900 acres
of cumberland and more than 100000
acres of non-timbered land, all in Mon
tana, and Thomas B. Walker person
ally owns 100000 acres in California.
Foresees Higher Prices
Despite the great increase in
stumpage values in recent years,
Commissioner Conant foresees a grow
ing rise in prices because of the d.
minished lumber supply and increas-
ing population. Mr.. Conant takes
sharp issue with suggestions, amount
ing he says to almost propaganda at
the present time, that the price of
stumpage should equal the cost of
growing trees. The idea, he adds,
seems incredible when it is consider
ed that standing timber is the free
gift of nature, requiring from scores
to hundreds of years for it's growth.
The proposal, brought forth in the
name of conservation and seized upon
by some lumbermen, he continues, lis
a proposal deliberately to hasten the
evil which conservation ought to mod
erate-the evil of excessive prices"
Taken in connection with the increas-
ing concentration of timber control, he
says, the proposition is a matter of
grave concern to the consumer Of
lumber.
In advocating an extension of gov
eminent ownership Of forest lands,
the commissioner points to the fact
that there is a distinguishing char
acteristic of standing timber, as con-
trasted with such mineral resources
as iron ore. coal and petroleum, in
that no labor is required to discover
it.
Discussing means of increasing the
government ownership of timber
lands, Mr. Conant suggests, if pend
ing forfeiture suits are successful. a
searching investigator to determine
whether there has been such non
fulfillment of the various conditions
attached to the Northern Pacific and
other grants as would give congress
just and legal cause to seek further
fOrfeitures.
1t is clear, concludes the report,
that there has been a lavish dissipa-
ton of standing timber and other
natural resources of the national do
main and that the beneficiaries of this
policy too frequently have been not
actual settlers, but capitalists who
have been able to take advantage of
legislation or its faulty administra-
ton, and thus accumulated vast hold
ings of timber19nd at a comparatively
small cost and reap therefrom an
enormous profit.
Subsequent parts of the lumber in
