Mr.. Kelley has studied forestry at the

and supplemented this training with IS
months of travel in Germany, a country
that leads in forest conservation. In the
Fatherland no man can slaughter a for
est without a special permit and then
he is obliged to reforst the land. He
cannot remove the trees and turn the
land into field or convert it for graz
ing purposes. The government holds full
control in these matters, and a title deed
gives no man authority to do what he
pleases with forests. Mr.. Kelley is in
clined TO think that this country will not
make much conservation progress until
the people as whole become aroused"
Mr.. Niles, after reading, said: This
matter has come up often times in the
past few years. In fact the tax matter
was thoroughly discussed at the meeting

the same question before them and meas
ures are in operation in Massachusetts,
Vermont and Connecticut whereby the in
creased yearly growth of trees is not
taxed.
Our present State law provides that
the forests be assessed at the full value
This has worked SO in lots in the south
ern part of Maine that the owners felt
compelled to cut the timber to escape the
taxation.
Il think that the first step toward the
preservation of out forests-outside of fire
protection-is an equitable tax law"
