. Canadian forest industries July-December 1922. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. CANADA LUMBERMAN 57 Lumbermen Oppose Change in Doyle Rule Operating lumbermen and limit holders from various parts of Ontario waited upon Premier Drury, Hon. Beniah Bowman and the other members of the Ontario Cabinet in Toronto on November 9th in regard to the retention of the Doyle Rule as the scale of measure- ment in the industry. The deputation was introduced by Z. Mageau, Mi L. A., of Sturgeon Falls, and the representations of the forest products men were ably set forth by A. C. Manhert. Others' who took part in presenting the lumbermen's side of the question were George Nicholson, Chapleau, Hon. Oeorge Gordon, North Bay, Sir Henry Egan, Ottawa, John Black, Ottawa and A. E. Clark of Toronto, President of the Canadian Lumbermen's Association. It was pointed out that the Doyle Rule had always returned to the Government fair receipts for the timber cut and had been in use for many years and the substitution of any other unit of measure- ment would only result in confusion and misunderstanding without any additional return to the province. If the Doyle rule had permitted in the past, computations of timber measurement favorable to the licensee, the purchaser of the limit had estimated such a situation in his valuation cruise, and had bid accordingly. To alter the rule to one which would swing the pendulum to the Government side, it was pointed out, would merely necessitate a revision of process of estimation on the part of the lumbermen, and, while it would not bring an additional dollar to the Treasury, if care were not exercised, it might result in confusion. Statistics were presented by the deputation showing that lum- ber was a highly hazardous enterprise and that during a period of years out of 77 original firms, 56 had become bankrupt, 7 had never paid any dividends and 14 had shown very moderate returns on the capital
