"If an adequate reforestation policy is adopted, the question of taxation of such lands must be dealt with on a sound and business-like basis," he added in explaining that timber lands are now assessed.as 'unimproved lands.'

"At present individual timber owners, with large or small acreages of cut-over lands, unfit for agriculture or other purposes; except tirnber,grtowing, will.not pay the annual taxes.
