Granger Urges Fellows fo Eye
Sales Tax Proposal Carefully
Glenn Simmons, TBurston, said
Wednesday he hat sent letters to
every subsidiary Grange in ore
gon, urging each to study the Ore
gon sales tax bill carefully and de
cide the Issue on the basis of fact,
not propaganda. Voters of the state
will decide Oct. 7 on approving or
disapproving the proposed sales
tax, Simmons is secretary of the
Thurston Grange.
"Do not be misled by propaganda
that has been forced upon you
through ignorance or any other
name that you may care to apply
to it," the letters urge.
Asks Understanding
"The Granges hove long stood
for the retention of those demo
cratic principles that make this
country what It Is today. We do
not care to lose those democratic
principles by a lack of understand
ing of the Issues that face ut at this
present moment."
The letters point out that the
sales tax Issue will, be before the
State Grange convention at Bend
the first week In June. ;
State's Stand

stand that the State Grange takes
regarding this matter. However.
'whether this stand still merits its
worth when coupled with our
economic development, in Oregon
particularly and with our West
Coast in general, is doubtful."
Simmons asks the Grangers to
"see for yourselves if it (the sales
tax) is not the very thing that is
needed to stabilize our present tax
structure In the state of Oregon.
Wants Discussion
"Let us ask that this legislation
be discussed openly at your meet
ingsbe discussed frankly and
above board, with due considera
tion given to both sides rather man
through a narrow, prejudiced
viewpoint, and let us go to the state
convention . . . with the idea in
mind that the Oregon Granger is
an individual who , , . has a mind
of his own, is able to think clearly
and has the intestinal fortitude to
express those thoughts openly and
without prejudice."

Griffith laid he had not yet seen

"The chorus will be a mobile

times on-stage, sometimes off

simple, with the elaborate cos

themselves posted and cooperate
In working out details of the huge
project as it affects the Forest
Service.
George Barnes, logging manager,
and Nell Christiansen, local log
ging superintendent, with their;
crews, keep the logs pouring into
the mill pond site.
Vessels Move
Out on the ocean are vessel of
the steamship division of Pope and
Talbot, which some day may carry
lumber from the Oakridge mill.
The mill pond will be of Paul
Bunyen proportions 48 acres-
ana can noia iz,vvu,uuu ieei 01 logs. ,
The mill, when completed, will
have a capacity of about 200,000
board feet day on an eight-hour
shift. The etnlre site contains about
120 acres, and Forester Stewart
points out that this will be large
enough to provide room for other
operations such as a plywood plant, 1
I box factory or even a pulp mill It
the company decides to install
them.
Will Utilise
We Intend to do Just the best
Job of utilizing timber possible,"
said Stewart. "Much material that
has been cut must be left in the
woods now Because 11 can 1 do usea
profitably In sawmill operations.
But we're going to have to use the
sound parts of these logs to maKe
our vital timber resources go as far
as possible, and to help create jobs
for as many people as possible."
In order to determine just what
sort of allied wood plants to Install,
the company has retained Prof. J.
B, Grantham of the school of for
estry at Oregon State College, who
will work next summer, starting
June 13, on research to determine
the most profitable use to which
salvaged logs and mill waste can
be put.
