Southern lumber trust framed to curb production and tax feet
Omaha lumber dealers report circulars from the Yellow Pine Manufacturers association describing a southern lumber trust backed by Roosevelt and Pinchot. The plan limits southern production to 100 billion feet annually and imposes a 50 cent per 1000 feet tax to fund forest administration, with rangers and inspectors to enforce reforestation. The scheme, viewed as a potential trust, could raise consumer prices and crush independent dealers.
