of Community

Te forest industries of British

Columbia contribute more to the
upkeep of the Province than all the
other industrial groups put together.
The B.C. timberholders during the
last fifteen years have paid into the
Provincial treasury in the shape of
royalties and rentals, the enormous
sum of $40,000,000, or approximately
one-fourth of the total revenue of

British Columbia for that period.
The timberholders’ direct payments
towards the running expenses of the
Province in 1923 were more than four
times greater than they were in 1904,
and almost twice as great as they were

and almost twice as great aa in 1915.
In twenty years the receipta from
B.C. timber-owners have risen from
$455,000 to $3,600,000. .

Many Forms of Taxation
Again the operating end of the indus-
try, represented by the loggers and
manufacturers of wood products, pays
annually several millions of dollars
in income tax and other forms of

Dominion, Provincial and Municipal
taxation. Heavy customs duties on
equipment, workmen’s compensation,
and other direct imposts also enter
