TIMBER POLICY
By Charles V. Stanton
It isn't often that I comment on a letter written to
some other newspaper.
However, Thornton T. Munger recently said something
in The- Ovegnnian that I've been tryinjr to Ret into this col
umn for years. I've said it in different ways. Muntrer lays
it on the line and minces no words. In my opinion, the
facta need repeating, particularly now that the U.S. Forest
Service is under such extreme pressure from some mm
operators and their representatives.
The Forest Service, according to news reports, is be.
inn; charged with failure to sell up to the allowable cut,
failure to sell certain timber, failure to sell in small lots,
etc.
The Forest Service prave figures to show it is selling
up to allowable cut and denied many charges.
Personally, I fail to see where we are getting by any
argument to sell more logs. Our recession was caused by
the fact that we' overproduced lumber. The more logs
offered for sale, the auicker we will again be overproduc
ins and.be back in depression. There is no industry I
know of that has been up and down as often as has the
lumber industry.
Reaions Evident
We might as well face the facts. What the small mill
wants is a log at as low a price as possihle,vso a profit is
available. Consequently, the mill operator and his repre
sentatives want more logs. More logs mean less compe
tition and lower price. I don't blame the small mill for
wanting.
The small mill also wants smaller sales. The Forest
Service has had to hold big enough sales to cover .the cost
of road building. The operator has had to build the road.
In some cases the sales have been at considerable dis
tance from one another, so that road would be built in
front of tracts to be offered later. Only big operators have
money with which to build roads. Congress has not given
the Forest Service money with which to build, condemn
nor maintain access roads. 'A news item recently said the
Forest Service would use its powers of condemnation, but
that nower definitely is limited.
Munger recites in his letter that Oregon's lumber ca
pacity is far ahead of growth capacity and that some mills
must fold. That's a hard thing to say, but it is true, much
as we hate to admit it. He said that condemnation of the
Forest Service comes largely from "cut-out and get-out"
operators who have exhausted their own timber. Converse
ly, says he. a few years ago lumbermen were begging
the Forest Service not to sell timber because federal tim
ber would compete with private timber on a saturated
market.
The Forest Service, says M linger, has increased its
stumpage sales from 129 million board feet in 1930 to morel
than 214 billion feet in 1958.
To charges that disease, blowdown and other factors
are "wasting" timber, he raises the argument that price
increases offset all losses. He also points nut that while
critics claim Forest Service stumpage prices are threat
ening financial disaster, all sales are made on competitive
bid. If someone couldn't make a profit, there wouldn't be
a bid that high.
Munger closes his letter with a statement that we al
ready are cutting our virgin timber ton rapidly and that
the Forest Service is acting wisely in refusing to up its
rate of cut.
Limit Is Needed
Munger. I believe, has a lot of truth in what he
writes. Maybe he goes to extremes, in some cases, but,
for the most part, 1 agree with what he has written.
There is no question that we are overproducing. That
is reflected in demand and price. We are overproducing
because we have too much installed capacity. We also
are cutting more logs into timber, boards and plywood
than the market can absorb forever.
I believe the Forest Service should make available all
the logs a sustained yield program will permit. I believe
the sustained yield and allowable cut, should be matched
to modern usage, prevalence of disease, amount of sal
vage, age, rate of growth, and other such factors.
Look at the trucks coming in and you'll see log that
shouldn't have been cut for the next 50 years!
The small mills are hurting. It is a cruel thing to
say. but the big mill, normally, makes better use of a log
and, so, can afford to pav more. It has been industry his
tory that many small mills have been forced out of busi
ness. More and more the industry is passing into the
hands of a few operators and big corporations. It isn't
nice to contemplate, but it's a fact.
The Forest Service, in my opinion, should nut be stam
peded into something that is contrary to the public good
over the years.
It whs said in this column many years ago that the
time would come when heavy pressure would be put on the
Forest Service to sell federal timber faster than it should
be sold. We're already feeling that pressure. It will get
stronger.
Whether the federal agencies will have the strength to
resist remains to be seen.

Wide Variation
Possible In Old
Age Assistance
WASHINGTON (AP) Persons
on old age assistance rolls could
receive benefits increases vary
ing from 77 cents a month in Cal
ifornia to $11.46 a month in Okla
homa under the Social Security
bill now before President Eisen
hower. The additional federal money
provided by the bill would permit
the increases, varying by states,
provided the stales and local com
munities maintain their contribu
tions to the federal-state program
at their 1958-59 levels.
The Social Security Administra
tion Wednesday made available
tables showing the changes which
the new bill would make in pay
ments to each beneficiary of the
programs for old-age assistance,
and aid to the blind, totally dis
abled and dependent children.
Based on continuation of state
local contributions at 1958-59 lev
els, the bill includes these in
creases (unless otherwise noted)

end. He snatched Charlie away,
the bird quacking loudly all the
way down the street. His darling,
her three little ceramic ducklings
long since toppled over by Char
lie's amorous advances, kept ber
glaed eyes front.
Then along came Miss Helen
Mameo who said Charlie had es
caped from her. She threatened
custody battle in court.
Dr. David C. Tudor, a poultry
pathology expert at Rutgers Uni
versity, said Charlie may have an
adoption complex and found an
outlet in the clay duck.
Dr. James Weslman. head of
the Rutgers wildlife conservation
department, said Charlie either
has a complex "or he's a very
sliipid duck."
Not so, said Miss Mameo.
"Charlie's not nuts, he's just
lonely."
