Green Lumber
Prices Settle
Prices in the green fir lumber
market continued to drop slowly
through the past week, apparent
ly headed for a $70-$72 range,
about where they were before
April's flurry of weather-incited
Inflation but still well above the
level prevailing at this time last
year.
Market observers reported that
although many mills this week
are still operating on a hand-to-,
mouth basis because of log short
ages, buyers weren't bidding too
energetically for green lumber.
Many sales were mado at $72-$74
per thousand board feet, but some
mills were willingly accepting
$71-$72 as better than what next
week might bring.
There was, this past week, more
strength in the firm order market
for green fir than in the random
length sales field. For specified
items, some mills were getting
$76-$79 although the bigger
"mixed car" green mills noted a
$3 drop in the price on No. 2
and better dimension and that
even at $75 the demand seemed
none too brisk.
In the transit car market, good
cars were selling at $72-$73, but
indications were that these prices
also would soften. The premium
item in transits continued to be
2 x 10 which brought $74-$75 for
best loadings.
For the big mills producing
both kiln-dried and green lumber,
activity this last week continued
steady after a moderate burst
which accompanied the April
boom for green mills.
While these big mills also re
ported a weakening of demand
for No. 3 green dimensions, No.
3 kiln-dried dimensions were in
good demand. Both No. and bet
ter and No. 4 items were reported
moving satisfactorily whether
green or kiln-dried, and the mar
ket prospects for the big mills
were bolstered by maintenance of
order files at the equivalent of
30 to 45 days shipping time.

JOHN II. STARR, 1093 W. 5th
Ave., Eugene, left Wednesday to
attend the western slates conven
tion of the Omaha Woodmen Life
Insurance Society this weekend
in Los Angeles. Before leaving,
Starr reported that he will repre
sent this area as one of 85 dele
gates attending the meeting, and
that Herbert E. Walker and L. C.
Salchenberg will not be going to
tile session from Lane County
as had been stated in a previous
report from the sociely's headquarters.
ATTENDING THE semi-annual
meeting of the Oregon Consumer
Finance Assn. at Gearharl. last
weekend were several local fin
ance firm representatives and
their wives. They included Mr.
ind Mrs. Al Brandt, Loyal Over
ton, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Calkins
and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis C. Roadman.
Bank Debits
Gain in State
Some 18 banks in the upper
Willamette valley area, including
Eugene, have reported a 14.6 per
cent increase in debits for April
over the same month a year ago
and a 2.6 per cent increase over
debits of March, 1955, according
to the Bureau of Business Re
search in the University of Ore
gon.
A total of $137,101,138 in bank
debits was reported from the
banks in the Eugene area, which
includes Albany and Corvallis.
Representing the dollar value
of checks drawn against the de
posit accounts of individuals and
business firms, bank debits arc
regarded as flood indicators of
current business activity. How
ever, their value may be impair
ed by the inclusion of large checks
arising out of transfers of funds
or purchase of assets that do not
constitute "business activity.
Over the whole state, a 7.8 per
cent increase in debits during
April over the year before was
recorded by 120 reporting banks.
The $1,375,157,300 figure was -1.9
per cent less than in March.
Thirty-three banks in the Port
land area had 6 per cent more
debits in April than a year ago,
but reported 5.6 per cent less than
the month before.
Five banks in the central Ore
gon area, including Bend, Princ-
villc, and Redmond, reported the
most notable gain in debits over
the past year with a 31.3 per cent
increase. This was 2.5 per cent
higher than in March.
Fifteen banks in the lower Wil
lamette valley, including Salem
and . McMinnvillo, reported the
largest gain of April figures over
the month before with a 13.6 in
crease over March. This was 6.4
per cent more than April of last
year.

Sari T. Nebry sad ihis weefc
thSt Oregon's "creaking legivla-
tive and executive machinery"
deprives the "people their full
right to refer bills passed by the
Legislature. j
Whije there is a 90-day.period
after legislative adjournment for
distribution of referendum peti
tions, these petitions can't actual
ly be circulated until the gov
ernor signs a bill on which
referendum is being sought. The
governor has 23 or 24 days after
a legislative session to act on
bills.
Then, Newbry pointed out, the
attorney general has another 10
days to prepare the ballot title
that must be on the petitions.
Thus, sponsors of a referendum
might have less than 60 days to
get the 20,047 names that are
needed to put a bill on the ballot.
Newbry had in mind the 3-cent
cigarette tax bill which the tob
acco industry wants to refer.
This bill hasn't reached the
governor's desk yet, since it
hasn't been signed by the presi
dent of the Senate and speaker of
the House.
'The procedure is all wrong,'
Newbry said. "Under the Oregon
Constitution, any citizen or group
of citizens is entitled to a full 90
days following adjournment of
the Legislature, in which to se
cure a referendum petition
against an unpopular enactment.
Seed Agency
Petition Filed
SALEM IU Creeping red fes
cue and chewings fescue seed
growers have filed the first peti
tion asking for establishment of
a commodity commission under
the 1953 enabling act, State Di
rector of Agriculture J. F. Short
said this week.
The petition was presented by
Raymond Wcndcl of La Grande,
secretary-treasurer of the Pacifje
Northwest Chewings and Creep
ing Red Fescue Assn. It bears
the signatures of 73 growers rep
resenting 5,334 acres of these two
grass seeds. Singers are chiefly
irom the Willamette valley and
Union county.
Short held a meeting with an
advisory group named to help
the Dept. of Agriculture deter
mine the budget necessary to
complete the proceedings to de
tcrmine whether or not a com
mission shall be established. The
budget group was picked by Wel-
by vaughan of La Grande, presi
dent of the Northwest group
which circulated the petition.
The budget for hearings and
referendum was set at $050. As
soon as growers submit an ad
ditional $400 to the $250 filing fee
which accompanied the petition
Short said the department will
meet its responsibility without de
lay.
Public notice will be given of
hearings to be held in Clackamas
Linn. Marion and Union counties
If the department determines
as a result of the hearings that
there is need for the commission.
a statewide referendum will be
held and all growers of the two
grass seeds will be eligible to
vote.

Neuberger Knocks Ellsworth
For Stand on Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON W Refusal logon might still be Indian ter-
grant statehood to Alaska ana
Hawain "makes a mockery o the
way we preach to other nations
advising them to practice democ
racy," Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore)
said Thursday night.
In a speech to International
Students House, the Oregon sen
ator declared:
"We can talk unctuously about
self-rule and local sovereignty but
we will be judged by the world
according to what we do. We
have told Alaska and Hawaii that
they can't govern themselves and
the world will remember that."
CANADIAN POLICY
He said that under Canadian
standards Alaska probably wouM
be admitted as a full self-govern
ing province without too much
trouble. Prince Edward Island,
with barely half Alaska's popula
tion, is a province.
Neuberger also noted that Can
ada gives a full voting member
of its national Parliament to the
Yukon Territory's 10,000 resi
dents while the United States
restricts Alaska's 17,000 popula
tion to one non-voting delegate
who "sits as a mere spectator
when roll-calls are taken in Congress."
By this procedure, he said, "we
thus have let Canada put us to
shame in the actual practice of
freedom and self government."
Neuberger also said he felt
"ashamed" of one of Oregon's
congressmen Rep. Ellsworth (R-
Ore) voted in the House recently
to send the combined Alaska
Hawaii statehood bill back to com
mittee. SERIES OF SPEECHES
Asserting that Oregon at the
time of its admission had less
than one-third Alaska's present
population and was separated
from Minnesota then the next
state eastward as far as is
Alaska from Puget Sound, he
declared:
"It's a good thing for Oregon
there weren't many 'Ellsworths'
in the Congress in 1858 or Ore-

ritory."
Neuberger said he plans a ser
ies of speeches in Oregon after
Congress adjourns on the effect
of the defeat of Alaska statehood
upon the future of the Pacific
Northwest.
He said the opposition to state
hood "is bound up in ancient
prejudices."
RACIAL MISTRUST
It stems from mistrust by
opponents of statehood of such
racial groups as Indians, Eskimos
and Japanese. It stems from the
fears of the canned salmon and
gold mining industry that they
may have to shoulder a fair load
of taxes for schools and social
welfare. It stems from the so
called 'political superiority' of
congressmen from big Eastern
states who never wanted two sen
ators from Oregon or Wyoming
and now don't want two Senators
given to Hawaii or Alaska."
The net result of this opposi
tion, the Senator said, is to make
"hypocrisy" of. this country's urg
ings to the world about democ
racy and self-government.
