Lumber "Battle"
No Longer Among
Competing Mills
EX-CABINET
MEMBER FOR
G. O. P. HEAD
TACOMA.. Wash., Oct. 90 (A) "The
battle ground yrill liavo io be moved
from among ourselves, where It ever
has been, out Into the open reaches
of the four corners of the earth where
lies tile consumer," said C. H. Krelen
baum,)4f Shelton, keynote speaker of
the Sard, Pacific logging congress
opening session Wednesday. About
five hundred loggers from all the Pa
cific coast states were present.
Tracing 'the history of the .bi&ln,?
industry In the United States, Mr. I
Kreienbaum pointed out that an ex-1
pandlng population for many years
caused markets to enlarge naturally,
Since the turn of the new century
great disasters that have destroyed !
cities, and the World war, aided tem
porarily in creating markets. With1!
the' inroad of other building mater-1
ials and a lower consumption per cap
ita of lumber, the time has come, he
warned, when the lumber Industry j
mu'it be considered as a whole and
no part of it can prosper unless tho
whole prospers.
Four Problems
"The first problem of the. Jogger, I
tlmberman and sales manager," hot
jo id, "is proper trade promotion for j
our products in the consuming mar-(
kets; second, development of new
prcducts by research; third, advertts-j
ing, and fourth, new selling meth
ods." j
v A. A. Gay, of Port Gamble, brought
applause when he declared that "we 1
had a long fight to get the (3 tariff;
on lumber, and Just remember "that
when you go into the polls on No-1
vember 8 If .you vote for RooaeveK,
you will be throwing that work away." j
He advocated Intensive work in the
lumber producing states to the end of t
establishing wood as the material for
such public .projects as bridges, for an '
example to the rest of the country, j
P. J. Rutledgc, of Eureka, Cal., de-j
clared "we are not working to the!
best Interests of the Industry when
we are devoting all of our brain pow-1
er to cheapening our product" through.
Intensive production and developing)
new machinery. The need for brain
power at present Is In expanding mar
kets and finding new uses for lumber, '
he said. . !
Colonel W. B. Greeley, secretary- J
manager of the West Coast Lumber, j
men's association, predicted that, the1
construction .of Bmall homes will fui-J
tilsh. the biggest future market lij '
sight for building material, 1
"Every other Industry that furnish I
cs building material has Its eyes foc-'j
used oh this market," he said. I
"Twenty five years ago .the lumber- i
man could get this business without
going after It. Now it will be ours
only If we go out and take it."
(Continued from Page One)
"the real question is one of leader
ship rather than of Issues, x x x It Is
a solemn decision. .
"In fact, more hinges upon It than
fs apparent on the surface, for not
only will It determine wither new
men shall be substituted for those
now directing the nation's policies,
but It means also. If the country
should vote for a change In admin
istration, that there wlU .be i wait
ing interval of four month's during
which the United States , and, to a
certain extent, the world also will
mark time until the new administra
tion takes charge next March and Is
ready to make decisions .then as to
Its policies, xxx :
"It is doubly unfortunate, there
forv, that tills election at such a crit
ical moment and fraught with such
significance for America'h and the
world should be decided 'not on the
merits of some Important policy but
rather on the vague and general Is
sue of discontent with existing con
ditions which are beyond the power
of any man or government to con
trol." Explains Procedure '
Mr. Mellon explained how the
United States goes about "the always
difficult business of choosing a gov
ernment." , v.
On the major issues, he said. Re
publicans and Democrats do not dif
fer greatly. On prohibition, agricul
ture, taxation, even on tariffs, he
said, "they are nearer together today
than ever before."
"The reol question is not what
should be done but how It Is to be
done," he continued. "The presi
dent and his advisers have built for
tho nation temporary shelters against
the economic hurricane, and a defense
against fear and panic."
He described the reconstruction fl
nanco corporation, measures for ex
pansion of tho powers of the federal
reserve system, new taxes to balance
the budget and other emergency
steps.
"As a result of these measures," he
said, "we have been able to meet In
full every demand that could be made
upon us. We have proved that our
financial strength is morer than ade
quate to withstand any shock from
the outslds world, and that no power
outside the country can undermine
the dollar." '
He outlined the American efforts
to cooperate with other nations to
restore world finances, mentioning
America's wholehearted support of the
forthcoming world economic confer
ence. "The American tariff policy." he as
serted, "has not had the adverse ef
fect on foreign trade with which It
has sometimes been credited."

Firestone Denies
Intimidation Of
Company Employes
AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 30 fPy Harvey:
S.; Firestone Sr., chairman of tii
bejard of the Firestone Tire and Hub
ber company, Wednesday branded a3
"political propaganda" the statement
from, James A. Farley, Democratic na
tional chairman, charging Firestone
and pother rubber company officials
with carrying on a campaign of "ln
timidatlon" among their empioyes in
the interests of the Republican party.
Firestone called the statement
"propaganda Issued by political lead
ens to Intimidate business men and
keep them from expressing their views
on political matters."
"There is absolutely no truth in the
statement that the company is car
rying on a campaign of intimidation
among its employes for President
Hoover," Firestone said.
The Democratic statement had been
previously denied by Goodrich and
Goodyear spokesmen.

HENRY FORI SPEAKS
DETROIT, Oct. 20 UP) Disavowing
any interest in party politics, Henry
Ford today was enlisted as a cam
paigner on behalf of President Hoo
ver. . -
In a radio address last night his
first of that nature the automobile
manufacturer said that ' support the
best man for the Job. If Herbert
Hoover wore a DemocraVjwrth his
reoord during ihe last jour ,years,I
should have to support him.'
Much of his address was devoted to
tho need of "a money system man
aged as our weather bureau is, for
the protection of the people's busi
ness," and he said he would "like
to see it done1 by a man of practical
experience like Mr. Hoover."
Congress, ho said, "farmed out the
national money system to prlvato
hands" and "should take back full
control of money and give the United
States a public service money system
oa opposed to a private profit money
system."
Ho said President Hoover "is caf
rying a greater burden than Abraham
Lincoln carried and he is carrying
it In a way that places him beside
Lincoln in sacrificial service."
The president, he said, "kept his
head when others lost theirs. No act
of his has been dictated by panic or
political expediency and the result Is
that we arc now beginning to feel
the lifting power of his well-thought-out
program."

Reports that some of the local busl
ncsfl firms, Including Montgomery
Ward & Co,, Interior Grocery Co. and
the Safeway stores, withdrew large
amounts from the bank Tuesday, were
announced as without any founda
tion, no withdrawals being made oth
er than the customary amounts
necessary for transaction of the dally
business. . It was reported, however,
that numerous individual depositors,
a bit uneasy because of the bank
holiday in Pendleton, took out their
money, this amount possibly reaching
$70,000, and adding to the large
amount of withdrawals that have
ocourred since Mar. 7, when the First
National opened for business.

other -developments, with the excep

comptroller of the .currency was ex

culminated in the closing of the

rectors to. place it In voluntary
liquidation, I beg to submit the fol
lowing: "On Atarch 7, 193a, the First Na
tional bank, with a capital and sur
plus of $150,000, was organized by a
number of business men of La Grande
and citizens of Union county. The
two old bonks tho La Grande Na-,i
tlonal and the United States National m
had for some time previous been
seeking a basis for amalgamation. The i
national bank examiners who had '
locked into the condition of both old '
banks finally reported that their as- j
sets were so impaired that they would
not favor an amalgamation, and rec-j
ommended the organization of a new
bank. This bank would take over j
such proportion of the assets of both
old banks as would be passed by
them as satisfactory. It would also
assume all of the deposit Indebted-
ness of tho La Grande National bank j
and a proportion of that of the United i
States National, the balance of de- j
posits of the latter bank being waived.!..
by its depositors,.. These waivM-s.wereiiUiL...
to be looked after, In the future, by
a liquidating agent to be elected to j
handle collection of charged-off as-
sets of the U. S. National bank. "
"On tms oasis, tnen, xne new d&iik i
was organized, opening, as stated, on
March 7, 1932, with total deposits of
$1,452,333.61. It must be understood
have made preferred creditors df n
cmull number of depositors.
"It might be that with a united
public effort the bank could be re
opened and continue to function. But
the effort must be whole hearted and
universal. It Is unthinkable that La
Grande should be without a bank for
any considerable time. .

ftsncy oamo to her mother as she
snt entertaining a visitor In the liv
ing room and said. "Mother. I want
to tell you something."
."Y."
"I'm not going to take my bath
this evening. I'll wash very thor
oughly, but I won't take a bath." '
Mother was about to Insist upon
tho routlno when something in Nan
cy'r. slightly self - consolous air
caused her to check herself, and she
quietly said "all right" instead.
To the visitor this little Incident
was probably proof of the fact that
the modem mother simply allows
her children to do whatever they
.plenee.
And the vlBltor perhaps would not
be altogether to blame. 8he would
not have heard What Mmk mi

"Mother, 1 couldn't Wkt bth

dressed like that before company
any more: I'm too bill"
In this 4nsUr.ce What looked Ilk ,
disobedience or at least imperttnenos
turned out to be only the expression
of a developing sense of propriety.
What a mistake it would. 1 have -been

There are those who still believe
that children have no right to pri

right to Voice any sort of refusal .
without being ready on the spot to
give an accounting.
This attitude Ignores the very feel

count to build the poise and cour
tesy which he la so eager to have
his child acquire.

Back in liic days when lamp wicks
I and Ian term strained at ihe curtain of
man's night hours a small group of
rugged pioneers bound them .elves together in the
public service of western America. That was the
birthday, the first dty of the Union Oil Company
42 years go totfay, These men believed in the
West they dedicated their efforts and
their meagre savings to pioneering with
and for the West. In their record lies
western industrial history. Not only has this com
ftfny paid dividends forty of its forty-two yetrs,
boi its pioneering record in commercial
progress is evidence of its keeping
faith. Here are a few of the highlights
of that record; ''
Pioneered the firif oil burning lxomolitt.
Laid the first pipe Vint to. tidewater, and launched
the first octan geing tanUr on the Pacific Oast.
Pioneered drilling fur oil tVW tfo 2, (XX) foot hul.
Supplied oil to Panama for building
the Panama Canal,
Pioneered in the development of the
absorption plant process, the means by which gas
oline is extracted from natural gas.
brought in four of the West's greatest oil fields.
Phnttnd EtHYL Gattlint to western
motorists.
Recently met the demand of western
motorists for the finer anti-knock non-premium fuel
when It introduced the now famous 76 gasoline.
In October, 1932 we reded icate this company
to the progress of the West. It is reasonable for
you to expect the finest values and
quality where Union Oil Products are
served.
