'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. .

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.

employees voluntarily agreed to, with
out the spirit of savoring of the arbi
trariness of finality In questions In

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

and harmony between the economic
interests of individuals which owing

existence of inequalities cannot be

A certain amount of heaven and

some other tribulations are Insepera

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.
