( V Business Should Be Responsible For Establishing Welfare Guards By BRUCE BIOSSAT Russell W. Davenport, writing in Fortune, believes America cn provide its citizens with the welfare safeguards they demand, with out falling into socialism. In his view the whole burden of saving the situation rests upon the business community. Unless our business leaders take the Ini tiative In bettering the conditions of life for the average man, he says, then the nation will drift Into a socialist pattern. Davenport concludes that the I American system revolves about Socialism assumes government the rights to life, liberty and the mut assure economic rights, that pursuit of happiness. He classifies these respectively as economic, political and spiritual rights. And he thinks the economic rights are most critical to the issue whether we are ultimately to have state control.

Davenport disagrees, saying that holders of such a view are confusing econ omic and political rights. He says government Is III adapted to tak ing care of the economic variety. 1 'The people who are best able to Implement such rights, in all their manifold aspects, are the people actually engaged in the economic process, namely, the owners, managers and workers. Between them they know, or can find out, what the troubles are, how to fix them, how to provide better solutions for the future, and what the costs of such solu tions will be." i The way to avoid socialism, Davenport adds, is not to deny people their economic rights as some apparently would. It is to transfer to private hands the pri mary responsibility for those rights. As a starter, he sees three ave nues along which businessmen might move In seizing the Initia tive. One is economic security, de fined by him as the right to be able to live in a society, partici pate in it, in a permanent and confident way. Davenport de clares that worker opinion Indi cates more stable employment would do more than Insurance systems to satisfy this need. Secondly, he says industry and business must humanize their op erations. Collective bargaining isn't enough; a worker needs a "sense of belonging." He wants to be treated as a human being, not a payroll number. Continues Davenport: "The humanization of industry is something that has to be undertaken with the utmost I earnestness and it must have the 1 personal attention and enthusl- Order Your Winter's Fuel Now! 16" Gretn Slabweod Planer Ends Order your wood now while supplies ore plentiful end you con get prompt delivery.

Pheasant Outlook Best In Years PORTLAND, Oct. 19 CP) The State Game commission said Monday prospects are encourag ing for the upland game bird hunting season, opening Friday. The pheasant outlook was re ported the best In years. Uma tilla and Malheur counties have the best prospects. The commission announced that the bag limit on valley quail would be eight a day, but not more than 24 in the season. The commission opened Kla math county and that portion of Lake county lying west of High way 395 and North of Valley Falls to valley quail hunting from Oct. 21 through Oct. 30, the tame dates that prevail for the quail season In other southern and Eastern Oregon counties.

Third, employes need to have genuine participation in the des tiny of a business. If they get it, says Davenport, their Individual productive energies will be re leased in a way beneficial both to them and the enterprise in which they are engaged. He concedes that many enter prises have taken steps to protect and expand economic rights, but insists that too few have tried, that efforts generally have been scattered and grudging. 'To make obstacles an excuse for doing nothing is merely to in crease them," he savt. Davenport Is convinced that atotally differ ent atmosphere would develop in America if 100 leading firms would announce that henceforth they Intended to be primarily re sponsible for economic rights and were undertaking a program of action to tnat end. It seems to ut Davenport has adopted a sane and aggressive approach to the biggest domestic proniem or our lime, ii socialism is ever to come to this country, it should not arrive by default. Those who believe capitalism is the best guarantor of human well being must prove it by making it work. That they can never do if they abdicate their responsibility. Budget Approved By Green P.-T. A.

That is why we diversify our manufacturing. We group (or integrate) these various processing plants on one millsite because it is more efficient as a result of savings from economical material handling, centralized power sources and lower administrative costs. Without these sevings it would not be economically possible to make variety of marketable products from our tree farm crops. Target: To develop mlllsites as fully diversified and Integrated as log supply will permit and to provide complete and profitable use of all of every log from each tree farm crop. Thie plan will benefit all of us employees by more and steadier jobs; communities by continuous operation; govern ment by providing a dependable source of tax revenue; cus tomers by delivering a constant flow of quality products, and shareholders by steadily profitable operation.
