Greeley Makes Inter esting Statement on For est Conditions The decision of the supreme court that market road money is not intended for use on state highways is is a ray of hope for farmers who do not live on main thoroughfares. It has been the policy of the state high way commission to grab everything in sight and spend it on state and scenic highways. Its sole aim has, appar ently, been a desire to build roads for the accommodation of the through traveler. It has not been a case of dividing the crust with the stranger within the gates, but rather taking it from hungry ruralites and bestowing it upon the cities. And members of the state highway commission, after the market issue had been raised, had the aff rontry to i 1 1 . i ill .ii suggest mat it wouia oe necessary at tne coming session of the legislature to make it possible for the commission to use the market road funds of the state. Wouldn't this be just a fine arrangement? Take the money which was intended for building the byroads and use it on loops to. mountain peaks and other scenic driveways. After appropriating many millions of dollars for state highways, the legislature in a fit of compassion for the farmers m the outlying districts, made minor pro vision for their welfare by the market road act. But the commission has looked upon this fund just like getting money from home, and has adopted various schemes to get hold of this money. In no instance has there been any pretense of the commission wanting; to uphold the law. It has been a continued policy of the commission to get county courts to violate their sworn duty in the expenditure of this money. And this is a fine kettle of fish. The supreme court has said that this market road money was not intended for state highways. And let J us hope that the highway commission will be able to understand this ruling and obey it The highway commission and no one else is respon sible for the road muddle in Polk county. Had the commission endeavored to follow the mandates of the act of the legislature by which the commission was created, there would have been no road strife in Polk county.. The commission has tried to usurp authority it did not have, and naturally trouble has ensued. There is another point in connection with the supreme court decision in the market road case which is sigifi- cant. It is the statement in the decree: "The Pacific highway was established by law." This has been the contention of Independence from the outset, and we are of the opinion that when this issue reaches the supreme court, this same law will be held good. THE VOTE IN JACKSON By a majority of 305, C. E. Terrill, sheriff of Jackson county, has defeated D. M. Lowe in a recall election which was held last Saturday. There was much bitter ness in the contest it was alleged mat lernll was not enforcing the laws, particularly in regard to boot legging, and it was charged that Lowe was tne candi date of the Ku Klux Klan. Lowe had the endorse ment of the ministerial association, the Woman's Chris tian Temperance union, and how much the Klan enter ed into it is problematical. The result shows that in Ashland Lowe had a strong following, while Terrill carried Medford and Jacksonville with considerable strength. Many things seemed to have entered into the fight, and the result indicates that all will not be peace in Jackson county for some time to come.

SCOTT General Passenger Agent. Col. W. B. Greeley, chief forester of the forest service, Is spending a few dnys in the northwest, having completed an Inspection tour of tho western national forest districts be ginning in May. lie will deliver several addresses while in Fortlund at various meetings of lumbermen of the northwest. Ool. Greeley while in Portland gave out the following statement: "The sawmills of the country are moving over tho plains to the Pacific" coaost pretty rapidly. The last lum ber census made by tho forest ser vice shows that the lumber cut has dropped off in all eastern states and increased in all the western states. The big southern pine country, which has hitherto been a great competitor of the northwest, is dropping off ns a lumber producer and in tne mean time shipments through the Panama canal in 1921 exceeded 190 million feet and charters already held for 1922 exceed 500 million feet, indicat ing that the west coast timber la very rapidly becoming an (important factor in the eastern market. The lumber census referred to above, put Oregon second, with Washington first, as a lumber manufacturing center; Oregon has nosed out Louis iana, which for a long time held sec ond place. This is indicative of just what has taken place sawmills are moving from the south to the west. This industry means more in the long run to Oregon than any other state, as it has larger forest resources than any other in the country. Oregon and Washington are going to witness within the next ten years or so a tremendous increase in lumber pro duction to supply the lumber markets of the eastern and central states where the local supply of timber Is rapidly diminishing. "This will increase heavly the busness on the national forests and put very heavy demands upon the forest service to meet the increased cut and carry out the principle of keeping the cut from each locality within the growing power of the for ests so as to keep the industry per petual. "Over two-thirds of all the timber the country has left is west of the Rocky mountains, either in the west ern states or Alaska, and the thing we are driving away on is that when forest industry comes out here to keep it just as permanent as possible, Go into every big forest region of the east now-a-days and you don't find very much but cut-over land, more or less barren, a great many abandoned mill towns, a great many abandoned sawdust piles, and a large part of the population gone too, except where there are large areas of agricultural lands. We don't want to see that process repeated out here; it would be a very unfortunate thing for the western states to just eat up their virgin timber resources and leave nothing in its place. As far as the national forests are concerned, w are going just es far as we can to keep the supply of timber eprpetual. "And we can not keep the timber supply perpetual unless forest fires are prevented. The protective organi zation of our forests must be In- increased in order to, adequately pro tect our forests. This year we re ceived pretty good recognition from congress considering the necessity of economy, but still we are not giving, the public resources out here, the national forests, the degree of pro- tflif inn n rVi f lnirAt urn making it a little better every year 1 1 I just as fast as we can get the re- X j sources to do it with.

PERMITS TO TEACH GRANTED TO 24 IX I tAM es of Turnover The alert business man dealing with present day condi tions knows that the big word today is "Turnover." Whether he be a merchant, manufacturer, jobber, or banker, he sees that one thing with a clear vision unbiased by the limits of his own business. It is in the air, and on the tip of every tongue. And yet many of them are thinking on only ohe side of Turnover. They think of it as meaning rapid sell ing putting money in and getting it out quickly and at a profit. They realize that they must put greatly in creased efforts back of all their plans for selling and dis tribution. . 19 The other half of Turnover is the consumer. All selling plans and efforts fail if the consumer does not want to buy. His desire for the product must be created. He must meet the seller half way. He must be in a mood to buy before the salesman meets him across the counter. . That is the function of Advertising to create con Sroaem?nJ an ?,.nsuner Preference.
