Editor hits timber companies,
calls for public forest lands
By JACKMAN WILSON
Of the Emerald
“If we’re really going to be
masters of our destiny,” said
Tom Bates, editor of the Oregon
Times, “we have to control our
economic future.”
Bates spoke Wednesday night
at the Environmental Studies
Center’s supervised field studies
class.
Bates said he believes
Oregon’s economy depends on
the timber industry and that the
timber industry is controlled by
multi-national corporations.
“We’re in a very bad situation in
Oregon now,” he said. “Here we
have 20 million acres of prime
forest land which are completely
out of our control.”
Most of this acreage is owned
by the federal and state govern
ments, but Bates said govern
ment agencies almost invariable
serve the large timber companies.
“I strongly suspect that the way

you get promoted in the Forest
Service is by pandering to the
interests of the majors,” he
remarked.
The only long term solution to
the problem of corporate control,
according to Bates, is public
acquisition of forest lands. “I
think it would be a lot of fun to
work out a formula for com
pensation for these ex
propriations," he said. “Let’s see,
how much did you buy them
(forest lands) for?”
Public ownership of the forests
is impossible for now, said
Bates, because most of the
management talent is associated
with private industry. The states’
forestry schools tend to “turn out
people in a frame of mind to serve
the industry,” he observed.
Another problem is the lack of
concern about Oregon’s
problems at the federal level.
“Our entire economy is less than
the margin of error in the Gross
National Product. We’re not a
very significant force,” said
Bates.
He thinks Oregon needs a
citizen’s lobby to combat the
influence of Associated Oregon
Industries (AOI), one of the most
powerful lobbying organizations
in Salem. The AOI coordinated
the timber industry’s successful
fight against a timber tax based
on yield at the last legislative
session.
Citizens could also act to
improve the large timber com
panies’ forest management
policies, he said. “A useful
strategy right now would be to
focus all our energies on Georgia
Pacific,” Bates explained. “There
are areas in the state where you
just couldn’t believe what was
done to the land.”
According to Bates, Georgia
Pacific is the most regressive of
all the major timber companies.
“How can we expect them to act
in our interest when their board
sits in Savannah? The evidence
suggests we can’t count on them
at all,” he said.
Weyerhaeuser, on the other
hand, “is probably the best in
terms of reforestation,” even
better than the state and federal
governments, according to
Bates.
As for the Oregon Times, Bates
said he plans to increase the
circulation of the monthly news
magazine from 6,000 to 30,000
and perhaps shift to a regional
focus. “We want to become the
vanguard of the Oregon
revolution,” he remarked.

Teacher studies
business psyche
Rubbing elbows around the passages of Gilbert Hall over ten
years ago planted a seed in the minds of two business professors
which is now flowering in the form of a psychological study of Oregon
busi ness men
Norm Smith, associate professor of marketing, taught classes on
entrepreneurship at the University from 1964. While he was collecting
data on Oregonians who have started their own businesses, he
decided to enhance his study by drawing on the knowledge of his old
friend and associate, former University professor John “Jack" Miner.
"Jack has done extensive work in the psychological analysis of
corporate managers and has developed a way of relating a manager’s
rise in a corporation to his desire and motivation to manage," says
Smith. Smith says he wanted to see what kind of relationship exists
between the corporate manager and the person who starts his own
business.
Miner, who taught at the University from 1962 to 1968 and is
currently a research professor at Georgia State University, has
published several books on how industrial psychology relates to
personnel management. He’s regarded an expert in the field.
“I’ve found that a person’s success in a managerial position is
directly related to his desire to organize workers,” says Miner, who’s
studied many different managerial groups. A high-level manager is
more highly motivated than a lower level one,” he says.
The copyrighted psychological test Miner designed to measure
managerial motivation is "basically a sentence completion test,” he
says. Subjects complete 40 partial sentences. By analyzing the way
each manager completes the thought, Miner develops a motivation
quotient, which indexes the subject’s desire to be a manager.
Smith, who's taking a sabbatical leave from the University this
term in order to complete his research on Oregon entrepreneurs, says
he intends to test the hypothesis that persons who start their own
businesses have an intense desire to manage.
“I want to see if managing a company and starting one take the
same kind of initiative," he says.
Smith says that he has reached a plateau in his research. “I have
completed all the analytical work on this sample and have come up
with some conclusions which contradict the basic assumptions
people in the field have made," he says.
Smith says he would like to do additional research before making
his findings public. He plans to publish his results in the spring,
although there is a slight chance he may release the study as early as
January or February.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Postal Service said Tuesday
that previously announced increases for international mail
rates will go into effect Jan. 3.
The higher rates will apply to all international mail ex
cept that to Canada and Mexico. Rates for mail to those two
nations are scheduled to go up Dec. 28, the date of an in
crease for domestic mail. Rates for Canada and Mexico, as
well as the United States, will rise from 10 cents to 13 cents
for first-class letters.
Under the new rates, a surface letter to countries other
than Canada and Mexico will cost 18 cents for the first ounce
