LOW TIMBER TAX

The last of the series of cards. No.

very plainly the income towns lose

this coming spring all property viii be

II The tax assessors put fair valua-
tIon Oh timberland they will encourage
owners or immature timber to hold it
until mature, and owners OF mature
timber to cut it in such a way that
another crop, more valuable than the
present, will begin to grow on this
same land.
On the other hand, tax assessors who
o,o4>aiae timbeilaHd viii force the
oWEcra to cat all land clean and 10 cut
many young stands before mature, in
order that the taxes may not eat up all
. Of the final returns.
\ forest fire, or any other similar
force, which would clean off all the
timber in Il given town, spoil the pro
, ducing ability OF the soil, drive the
/ wood-using industries out of town, de
crease the population, and thereby
greatly raise the taxes for the remain
/ ing property owner, would be consider
! ed menace. The tax assessor who
I overvalucs timberland, especially young
timbcrland, brings about just those re

Incidentally, it may be remarked
that young timber, valued at its pres

because compound interest on each tan

This factor is so great that, according
to the best yield tables, in 80 years

Professor Johnson believes the time
is coming when all women'S colleges

of the colleges might be mitigated
through the substitution of men and
women for teachers.

A GROWING INTEREST IN BIRDS.

1t is impossible to say whether the
present manifest interest in birds and
everything relating to birds in the
United States is traceable almost Who'll
ly, as many believe, to the recent agita-
ton against their destruction for com
result Of Il general advancement and
refinement of public thought. No doubt
many people who had been Indifferent
were aroused and alarmed by the re,
lection agitation. and no doubt, once
aroused and alarmed, these people coulc
not again return to Indifference. 1t Is
only reasonable, therefore, to count a
very large percentage Of them now i'll
the ranks of the interested.
The Christian Science Monitor Is
inclined to take the view that interest
i'll birds has been quietly but steadily
growing in the United States through
recent years, contemporary and to d
great extent sympatheticalIy with the
growth of culture. Love for the arts
for the esthctic, for the beautiful
could not leave birds any more than
it could leave flowers out of the ac
count. Music. sculpture, painting
architecture, literature may have seem
! ingly engrossed attention at times Il
! the exclusion OF the things of nature
but this could be only temporary; j.
could continue only until nature pressed
it's claim for rec oenition. There ha>t
had to be steps, and some of them h,,>,

American culture, like the culture O
all other peoples, has reached the poin
where it is expanding from the lim1ta

Art does not stop where nature be
