Who Owns the Forests?

The forests of Canada are
owned by the people to the ex-|
tent of eighty-five per cent. — It.
is true that the timber cutting
tights on a portion of the forests
are leased to companies, thereby
providing 125,000: men with
steady and well-paid jobs, but}-
the ownership remains in the

4name of the Canadian people.

This is in happy contrast to con-
ditions in the United States,
where three-fourths of the forest
area is privately owned, The
people of Canada not only pain
about twelve million. dollars .a
year for their publie treasuries
from taxes on the cutting rights,
but what is even more important
they have ample power to ensure
that timber crops shall be made
the inheritance of future genera-
tions; in ®ther words the Cana-

to the greater part of forest area|
have assumed a solemn regpunsi-'
bility for passing on the ‘capital
stock’’ of the Forest Estate to our
great grandchildren in unimpair-
ed condition,

Now we come to 4 little under-
stood fact. The foresis are be-
ing deteriorated not by use but
by abuse. In the last hundred
years, 600,000 square miles have
been burned by public reckless-
ness,
square miles cleared by the. axe,
