'LUMBERMAN FACES FACTS A. C Dixon, manager of the Booth Kelly Lumber company, and vice president of the West Coast Lum bermen's association, in commenting en the lumber situation recently said: ' "The result of the election, in my opinion, will not hare any Immediate effect on business. Manufacturers vhould deTote their energy to getting the industry on a stable basis, and to do so should at once limit pro duction to demand and then reduce costs. Increase efficiency In all de partments, Improve selling methods and center on details of the business which we hare all neglected for the last two years. Careful management will be required for the next year or two." He has the right idea. The public is waiting to resume building until all the costs are low ered. The revival of building de pends more on the confidence of the buyers than on lumber prices. There must be a lowering of other prices that enter into the cost of building besides lumber. Honest work and reasonable wages must be expected from labor. The public confidence must be re stored in order to encourage building activity. ' O r BANKS AID FARMERS In thirty-eight states in the Union there are bankers' state associations which have standing committees upon agriculture. Most of these committee's activities are directed along the lines of financing the in troduction of pure-bred stock. Many associations work particularly through boys' and girls' clubs. This haa a double benefitthe Introdtiction of pure-bred stock on the farms and en couraging the boys and girls to stay on the farm. A recent report of the Bankers' association of Oregon la typical of other states and shows the variety of activities for the promotion of agriculture on which banks of this state are engaged. The report is as follows: Boys' and girts Pig club 21 banks Boys' and girls' Sheep clob.... 3 banks Boys' and girls' Calf club 6 banks Boys' and girls' Poultry club I banks Pure-bred aires 3 banks Cow testing association 3 banks Corn growing contests 7 banks Alfalfa and clover growing.... 7 banks Increasing dairy herds. 15 banks 65 banks Banks are generally owned In the communities where they are located and are looked to as the most active and effective force for community development. At the present time there are no boys' or girls' clubs of this sort around Springfield. Why could not one be formed? A p'g. poultry, sheep, or calf club, or a garden growing contest of some sort could be estab lished to the great benefit of the children and alt -concerned. . 0 The paper shortage Is quite likely to continue until they stop putting so much of it Into shoes. That an automobile shrieks with vexation when suddenly checked at a crossing is no reason why it should not be restrained. A heading on a "domestic page" reads, "when to cook cabbage." We suggest any day when all the windows and doors may be kept open. That means most any day in Oregon. It! is unmistakable that there Is a lowering of prices In general. Con ditions are begining to . return to normal. The most Important and the biggest thing 'before the national and state governments today is the scal ing down of overhead expense and the reduction of taxation to corre spond with readjustment in personal expenditures today. Government must get on a peace basis the 'same as industry. "DOINGS" OF THE 4Ls (Continued from page one) fashion. If the 4Ls is all hot air how does it come we're able to pro duce millions of feet in the north west day by day on a reasonbly sat isfactory basis for all those con cerned? ' A union of employers and employees voluntarily agreed to, with out the spirit of savoring of the arbi trariness of finality In questions In volving continuous operation of all the units of capital directly under their control cannot consistently be termed a scab organization. There Is absolutely nothing compulsory about the 4L it rests upon the foundation of mutual benefits to all and it Is without doubt the only practical pro cedure as a means of promoting peace and harmony between the economic interests of individuals which owing to circumstances and the undivldable existence of inequalities cannot be perfectly adjusted of the much her alded millenlum. Keeping abreast of the spirit of the times which decrees, we should help people to help themselves, we find the member? of Local No. 70 not log- SCHOOL DAYS 3f t ir ",ft ;f0m ?l glng In that respect. It has been proposed that in cases of long sieges of 11) health striking the tam'lles of 4L workers, we are to loan up to $200 to the unfortunate member on an annulled plan without interest. A certain amount of heaven and sunshine has been planned for us all, this together with misfortune and some other tribulations are Insepera bound up In the scheme of things and not one of us has a monopoly on them. Nu poor unfortunate bolng should be considered an object of charity. In the 4L- movement we have an object lesson of the resit progress we are making. Employers as well as employes are human be In us. why should we battle against ono another when cooperation can benefit us more while we are traveling the road to the correct understanding. At this time, lumber Is produced for profit and It Is the most uncertain thing connected with the Industry. Employers generally place wages above profits and only favor reduc tions when absolutely neeary. Millionaires Identified with the lum ber industry are fewer In number than mos workeea suspicion. This is a free country and Its no disgrace to be a millionaire. The 4L proposition is the one hope for humanity's progress. It's the next step In evolution of Industry and will stand for the rest of this generation. You bet. Ry the Puller-off irnn.
