QUINN Statesman Tournament - , Conductor Minn t TIMBER INDUSTRY Picturing a nev public domain et the timber-bearing lands, Dean .. George Wi Peavey of the school of forestry at Corvallis, urged. ' In his address before the Salem Rotary club Wednesday noon, -popular support in order to make -j Oregon a ; state with i a self-sus-' taining timber industry Instead of one like northern Michigan and Wisconsin , where there are 15 million Idle acres of cutover lands and 25 counties bankrupt for Iom ot-taxable wealth. While prefer- : ring continued private ownership Dean Peavey said -he feared this waa impossible under1 existing tax systems. Ite showed a map of Til lamook . county showing lsrge creas which had already reverted jto the county and others with tax- 'es long delinquent. His view is that the federal government should Be landlord for about half i the natural timberland area, with i the remaining half owned by the I state, the counties and private in j terests. Large operating concerns I like the f paper companies can ! preserve ownership on a crop bas :j Is, rotating the cut and coming r back for the new crop every 40 to . .! 60 years. If the timberland is put I in hands of the government where i It would be tax-free the lumber Industry in Oregon could be per petual; because as the dean said, . timber here grows faster and bet ter than anywhere else in the country. ' Timber Is needed not only for : t Its use as lumber but for use In many other applications through . advance of chemistry. Lands need i to be forested for watershed pro ' tectlon, the forests acting as sponge to slow down run-off and i prevent floods at one season and i extreme low wate'r another. The forests ar valuable also for re- creational purposes. : ; Dean Peavey was - accompanied .. to Salem by Dean Adolph Ziefle i of the school of pharmacy. Bidding and play of board.

West North East South INT pass 2 XT pass 3 NT pass pass pass Explanation: West has no bid dable suit but has more than re quired honor strength. East has 2 honor tricks but no biddable suit, definite information. West counts the partnership honor tricks of 5, 2 from- his part ner and 3 in his own hand. With good distribution the partnership should make three no trump, i The play: The opening lead, a natural opening of the fourth best. East can apply rule of eleven to determine the number of cards out in that suit higher than one lead, in other three hands. Sub tracting 6 from 11, we have five diamonds in other three hands higher than the six. South should refuse to put. up the ace, nothing is to bo gained by playing it. If South establishes a club trick and keeps his re-entries, West is de feated. Every team played the hand at 2 or 3 No Trump, the fulfilling or defeating of contract depend ing on South's play. LIU CHOIR in Companion Gets , 30 Days in Jail On Drunk Charge Leon Ginnis of Metzger, who was riding with C. R. Moen when the Moen car crashed into ma chine driven by Robert McBride of Portland, was haled Into jus tice court yesterday on charge of being drunk on a public highway in connection with this accident, which occurred December 6. Complaint against Ginnis was not lodged until yesterday. He pleaded guilty and was given 30 days in the county jail. McBride was fatally injured in the crash against Moen, who was also injured and is still in the hos pital here, charges of involuntary manslaughter havr b e-e n filed. Complaint against Moen alleges that he was drunk at time of the accident. . Hospital attendants said last night they had no idea how soon Moen might be released from there. Check Claims of Skilled Labor To meet complaints that men had registered as skilled labors and taken skilled jobs but were in reality unskilled workers, the Marion county re-employment of fice yesterday agreed that its lists of skilled workmen would be checked by contractors who were acquainted with the working ca pacities of almost all of the skill ed workmen registered here. At least four contractors have agreed to help in the confidential check up so the office can have an ac curate estimate on the ability of men registered as skilled work men. Union labor officials also will assist in the checkup. Where the worker has registered as skill, ed and his ability cannot be de termined through a contractor or labor leader, a personal checkup of his ability will be made. The office seeks to avoid send ing unskilled men out to skilled posts. i ihnrn nmi nimTi ( '. ft f r . . - ' 1 f Csa)(2 Ru&faoB's Gifts 7 'V jj :-. u : ; . 1 V To Men Keen for Style, I I I 1 Marion county's quota of civil works administration wo rkef i wai Increased yesterday from 1239 to 1411, according to word received by J. N. Chambers, chair man, from Portland headquarters. Chambers was also advised that additional CWA projects would soon be approved so. the men could all be gainfully employed within the next week or ten days. Chambers expressed pleasure at the word of the larger quota. He announced late Wednesday that R. C. Churchill had been del egated as 'a man to hear all com plaints made against CWA, coun ty relief or the reemployment bu reau's operations here. Any indi vidual or firm. feeling that they have been unfairly treated may report to Churchill at the county relief headquarters on North Commercial street and he will un dertake to investigate their case. Word was received yesterday by E. T. Barnes, manager of the Marlon county reemployment of fice, that hereafter all CWA men will be placed through his bu reau here. However, lists of per sons needing relief will be care fully checked to see that persons of greatest need are not missed as men are sent out to new work. More than 700 men are now employed at CWA work projects in the county. Already the effect of the fed eral checks they are receiving weekly are being felt by local merchants who express pleasure that these checks can be taken without question because they never "bounce." Chambers said the complaint office was set up to relieve heads of the CWA, relief and reemploy ment services from a rush of per sons who felt they had been un fairly treated, and also to give the public a chance to air its troubles and to have them quickly and fairly investigated. e KILLING PAYS PROCESSING LEW With perplexity on the hog pro cessing tax still expressed by farm ers, E. L. Potter of Oregon State college, Supplies the following in formation. " "A basic rule to remember to keep out of trouble is 'The man who kills the pig must pay the tax.' If you, as a farmer, kill one or more pigs to sell dressed, don't let the buyer deduct the process ing from the price paid and tell you he will pay it later. If you do, you are out that much lor the government will collect from you as the killer, regardless. "In the same way, prices quot ed on hogs are the next prices and have nothing to do with the pro cessing tax. Don't let anyone de duct the tax from the quoted price on live hogs. "All hogs killed from Novem ber 5 to November 30 for other than home consumption must have the tax paid In December. The collector of internal "revenue in Portland will supply blanks for making returns. If you,' as a farm er, have a hog killed by a butcher for year own use. you will sign a statement for him so that he, the killer, will net need to pay the tax. Tax on hogs killed in De cember must be paid in January and so on." Gervais Woman Sues on Policy Mary A. Rodgers of Gervais fil ed suit here Wednesday seeking to collect 8631 from the Norwich Union Fire Insuranre Society. British company.
