PROTECTION OF
OREGON TIMBER
UNFAIRLY BORN
Oregon la not doing her shar In
protecting the vast timber resour
ce of the state. In the opinion of
man slat olltelala
Com par tire tlgures on file In the
office of the state forester, show
the private timber owner are bear
ing more than their share- of the
expense for forest protection, the
federal government la doing nearly
a Just part but state appropriations
for forest protection are far below
the mark that many state officials
believe should be reached.
During 1928, the private owners
spent $376,659 as their allotment for
protecting Oregon's four billion
board feet of merchantable timber,
state figures show. Under the Clark
McNary law, the federal govern
ment contributed 183.575. The state
appropriated only $90,000 for the two
year period or 115,000 for each year,
little more than half that contri
buted by the government and less
than 10 per cent of the total of fire
protection funds.
The Clark-McNary appropriation
for 1930 was 99,(H6, larger than for
1939 and still greater than the
state's appropriation, figures show.
The state should at least match,
dollar for dollar, all federal appro
priations, many officials declare. It
la to Oregon's best Interests that
the timber supply be preserved foi
the benefits that are continually
derived continued taxable resour
ces, watershed protection, recreation
and permanent Industrial payroll,
it was said.
"Ideal" protection could be af
forded private and state timber
lands at a cost of $584,000, forestry
officials hold.
It Is assumed, under general for
estry policies, that for benefits de
rived from protection of private and
state reserves, the latter of which
Is only a small part of all timber
, lands, the private owner should bear
50 per cent of the cost and the
state and government each pay 25
per cent.
Under such a proposed three-way
division, the private owners would
undertake, as in every case of priv
ate forest protection, one-half the
cost of $292,000. In completing the
necessary pool, the state and fed
eral government would each assume
one-fourth the obligation or $146,
000, it was said.
If Oregon is to retain its position
as the second lumber producing
state In the nation, with an average
annual production of four billion
board feet of lumber which affords
employment to 65 per cent of the
Strange Contrasts

Wild, bloodshot, fltarintr eves. Chains and handcuffs
and strong leather straps. Mumbling and gurgling. Lurid
cries and obscene whispers. Cool, clean wards. Kindlv un-
treatment. Care of the sick. Walks
along fragrant flowered terraces.
Shady pools of sunken gardens.
Music and recreation. Good food.
Contentment.
These are the strange contrasts
that Impress the visitor to the Ore

more than 2,000 lunatics, with vary.

and sometimes die before they re
cuperate enough to obtain their
freedom on parole or discharge.
The Oregon state hospital, in
charge of Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner,
superintendent. Is located on a low
bluff overlooking the city of Salem
and the buildings are set in the
midst of what Is probably the most
oeauiuui grounds or any state in
stitution In the west.
Here live 1,227 male and 804 fe

disorders, from raving maniacs with

but who have not the mental
ability to support or protect them
sells out In the world among norm
al people.
The majority of Inmates are of
the harmless type and they care for
the gardens and terraces, tilt the
soil and harvest the crops In the
institution fields nearby, perform
the janitorial work about the build
ings, work In the various Industrial
units such as cannery, carpenter
shop, laundry, cobbler shop and
bakery, and perform other tasks
suited to their mental condition.
Those who cannot be employed
are taken Into the open yard to ex
ercise and enjoy the fresh air and
sunshine twice each day under the
vigilant eyes of attendants. The vio
lent and the criminally insane are
brought into the yard at other per
iods.
A few are kept handcuffed at all
times, their arms Incased in heavy
leather binders, lest they harm
themselves or seize upon their fel
low Inmates with Intent to kill or
maim. Dr. Steiner has recommended
that a ward be placed within the
walls of the state penitentiary for
these patients where the chances of
escape are less possible.

STATE TWELFTH
FOR AIRPORTS
Oregon ranks 12th In the nation
In the development of all types of
airports, a recently completed sur
vey of the U. 8. department of com
merce showed. The state now has
40 commercial, municipal, auxiliary
and Intermediate airports. There
are no army, navy or private air
ports shown in the survey completed
July 15. There are four commercial
and 16 Intermediate airports here.
In the development of municipal
airports, Oregon and two other
states, Illinois and Kansas, were
tied for 10th place In the nation.
The nation today has 1.667 air
ports of all types, the survey show
ed. California ranks first with 164
while Texas leads the other states
by a wide margin with US.
Washington ranks second to Ore
gon on the Pacific coast with 11
municipal, nine commercial, six
auxiliary, two army and one navy
airports, giving the state a total of
39. California has 56 municipal and
7 commercial airports.
The Pacific coast Is by far the
most alrmlnded section ol the coun
try with a total of 233 airports.

WE could just as well operate our coconut oil mill in
any other coast city. Our raw product copra comes
from the tropics. Our 4 million dollar annual sales are
made to soap manufacturers and others all over this coun
try, Canada, and Mexico.
"But we built our plant in Portland for two main rea
sons. Those same reasons made it possible to merge the
plant profitably last year with Durkee Famous Foods Com
pany. We built in Portland and we stay in Portland because
this city is a natural gateway to the Orient, source of our
raw copra.
"And the other reason is that Oregon power rates are
low and they will be still lower as time goes on. A year
and a half ago our rates were voluntarily reduced, saving

us more than $9,000 on our mill's annual power bill. Our
power cost per ton of copra we crush, is the lowest of
the United States and Philippine Is. mills.Though our
mill is entirely electric powered, the cost is but 8
of our total expense and but of our annual busi
ness. We're glad to contribute a big industry to
Oregon. We want to see Oregon and Portland grow.
It will if Oregon keeps the doors of opportunity open.
"Because Portland has a better geographical location
than many other Northwest cities, it has grown more rap
idly. We are fortunate in having cheap power, with rates
and profits controlled by the State. And we are fortunate
in Oregon, that an industry so large and important to all
of us as the privately owned power companies, can do busi
ness with a reasonable assurance of profit. The privately
owned power companies share our tax burden and develop
the country so that they may grow as every Oregon busi
ness deserves to grow.
"We would resent any move by the government to 'take
over' our factory or build competing plants alongside of
us. The power companies have an equal reason for resent
ing such a move. If our states or cities could do a bet
ter job than the private companies are doing I'd be
for municipal ownership. But common sense tells
every one of us that politics would creep in to the
damage of Oregon's future growth. What makes Ore
gon great is the boundless opportunity to succeed in any
honest, well run business. Let's keep it great!''
When industrialists, merchants, bankers, farmers, and civic
leaders join in advising that municipal ownership can do nothing
for the benefit of Oregon and can only serve to eliminate sound
private enterprises, it seems to be good horse sense to join in
their beliefs. We nearly all live from the profits of private enter
prises of some sort. Pacific Northwest Public Service Co. ("Pepco")
