There is only one solution to our complex county problem — and that is a Tax Re-evaluation, or Reappraisal, program. For the purpose
of Tax Equalization, such a program entails two basic steps:
1. Establish a value for all taxable property in the county, using uniform standards and bases. This value may approximate current
market value or it may represent the approximate value based on costs at some prior date. In any event, however, once the uniform value
has been determined, the tax officials can set the assessment at whatever percentage of that value the governing officials of the county or
city consider appropriate.
2. Establish a system of maps and records that will make it possible to keep the tax rolls current. All new property should be placed
on the roll by the use of the same valuation standards and assessment percentage as other property.

Spotlight Focused This Week
On South’s Forest Industries
National Forest Products
Week, October 21-27, will be
an observance of special signi
ficance to the South, because of
the region’s progress in forest
management and its almost in
finite potential for growth and
development of forest based
industries.
During the “week,” special
ceremonies will be held involv
ing the participation of millions
of citizens in Alabama, Arkan
sas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North and South
Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia.

paper and other forast products
in these states support annual
payrolls that total billions of
dollars. Future opportunities
are even more impressive.
Southern Pine, the region’s
principal tree species, now pro
vides a large share of the na
tion’s structural lumber and
about half its pulp and paper.
Other industries based on the
species are naval stores, chem
icals, furniture, and new plants
specializing in “engineered
wood.” Some clues as to the
possibilities ahead may be
found in current developments.
For example:
1. Almost a year ago, to the
day, unprecedent movements of
lumber from South to Midwest
and East commenced. Both the
volume and frequency of these
shipments have accelerated in
recent months.
2 Integration of forest pro
ducts manufacture on the part
of many lumber companies has
been beneficial to the paper
industry, as well as to the lum
ber economy. More than 1000
lumber companies in the South
now are mechanically equip
ped to convert the “leftovers”
of lumbering into pulp chips
and other products. Pulp chips
from sawmills now represent
15 percent of the South’s total
raw material for paper manu
facture.
3. Greater utilization of the
timber harvest is having in-‘
creasingly significant conserva
tion impact. Commercial uses
have been developed for bark
and even the sawdust may be
used for fuel and compressed
products.
4. The time is imminent when
the South will surpass the 40,-
000,000 mark in total “tree
farm” acreage. More than two
thirds of the nation’s “tree
farm” acreage is located in
the 12 states.
5. Natural properties of
Southern Pine, like strength,
and modern processes, such as
seasoning and “pre-shrinking,”
have well adapted the species
to new systems of building and
to various forms of “engineered
wood.” A number of new plants
specializing in the production
of glued laminated structural
sections have located in South
ern states, close to sources of
Thursday, wesecws 23, 1904
timber supply. ‘
Added incentive te the
South’s celebration of “Forest
Products Week” comes from
Dr. Edward G. Locke, Madi
son, Wisconsin, Director of tne
U. S. Forest Products Laboras
tory.
Dr. Locke says the current
crop of Southern Pine, producs
ed under good forestry pracs
tices, has quality as well as
quantity. “This quality is exa
ceptional, so much so, in fact,
that it should lead to many
new improved uses of wood as
a building material.”
According to U. S. Forest
Service reports, current saw
timber growth exceeds removal
by at least 30 percent.
