HAIL TH E GRAF ZEPPELIN
In the sixteenth century M agellan circum ­
navigated the globe in a sailing vessel, and th e
fa c t has been drum m ed into th e heads of school
children ever since as one of the m ost progrec-
give steps taken by m an up to th a t tim e. Now
w e are face to face w ith a new circum navigation
of the globe- by m eans of a m odern airship—a
feat th at would have been tho u g h t impossible
even a few years ago.
T he G raf Zeppelin is now in the m idst of .its
round-the-w orld to u r— from L akehurst. N. J., to
L akehurst. N. J„ with only th re e stops in be­
tw een. Think of it. N ever yet h a s th ere been
such an undertaking, and every indication
points to com plete success.
T he first jump, from I^akehurst to G erm any,
w as com pleted in the record tim e of 55 hours,
w ithout m ishap.
Day by day the eyes of the world are focussed
on this great, epoch m aking flight— an event
th a t will loom far larg e r in th e history books
of the fu tu re than the fam ous feat of M agellan.
T he flight of Dr. E ck en er and his crew p re­
gages a new era of progress -it has the most
vital bearing on fu tu re com m erce and travel.
All hail th e G raf Zeppelin!
WAIT BEFORE YOU DENOUNCE!
“ A nother group of b u re a u c ra ts pestering the
farm ers," and 'o n ly one m ore com m ission a f ­
fording jobs at W ashington at fat salaries to its
m em bers,” is how S en ato r G lass speaks of the
new Federal Farm Board.
T his is n o t a t all creditable to his judgem ent.
As he probably knows. Mr. Legge. C hairm an of
the F arm Board, accepted the position a t great
personal financial sacrifice, and none of the
o th e r m em bers of the board are likely to grow
w ealth y on th e salaries they get from the
governm ent.
The board is only a few w eeks old. So fa r it
h a s been m aking an e a rn e st effort to gain first­
hand know ledge of the problem s w ith w hich it
will have to deal, and its few suggestions to
various farm groups have seem ed to be well con­
sidered and econom ically sound.
We m ust w ait before passing judgm ent on the
farm board. T he board deserves a fair chance.
It can be judged only by results, and it will
n a tu ra lly ta k e som e tim e before these can be
expected.
GNR MAJOR INDUSTRY NEEDS BACKING
T he lum ber Industry is. from th e standpoint
of dollars and cen ts in revenue, th e m ost im ­
p o rta n t in the s ta te of Oregon. Sixty c e n ts of
every dollar produced in th e s ta te com es from
tim ber products of som e kind.
It is a know n fact th a t the prosperity of lack
of prosperity in the lum ber business is Im m edi­
ately reflected in all o th e r lines of business. The
lum ber dollar is a steady dollar, in th at it is not
seasonal. T he saw m ills and logging cam ps op­
erate, except for brief intervals, twelve m onths
in th e year. By fa r the biggest item of ex­
pense in lum ber production is labor and this
c re a te s a payroll w hich filters out into every
avenue of com m erce.
W hen these payrolls are menace«! the prosper-
ity of the entire s ta te is jeapordized and th at is
the situation which now c o n fro n ts the lum ber
industry.
In an effort to recognize the law s of supply
and dem and and reg u la te production to the flow
of business the saw mills and logging cam ps
th ro u g h o u t O regon and W ashington have d u r­
ing the past tw o y ears for long jH'riods operated
only five days per w eek and have otherw ise
tak e n steps to prevent an over-supply w hich
would glut the m ark ets. T his has been expen­
sive for both the em ployer and the employee.
Eor the mill ow ner it has increased I lie overhead
expense of operation, for the em ployee it lias
m eant few er hours w ork and consequently less
pay. but both have borne their part of the b u r­
den for tile m utual good th at would be d e n ie d
from it.
D uring the past year, while lum berm en in th e
their m ark ets, they have had to sit by am i ?«■«■
an increasing volum e of lum ber pouring in ¡rom
C anada and Russia. The lum ber com ing from
C anada is produced by mills th at employ largely
Chinese, Jap an ese and Hindoos. T he R ussian
com petition needs no description as it is g e n e r­
ally know n that em ployees of the mills th ere re ­
ceive w hat is approxim ately forty cents per day
and th a t Am erican labor cannot m eet such com ­
petition is a foregone conclusion.
W ith th e exception of rough lum ber, no tim ­
ber products of any kind can be shipped into
C anada w ithout paying a 25 per cent ad valorem
duty. W hen th eir m a rk e ts a re good they keep
them for them selves yet they a re perm itted to
ship th eir lum ber into th is co u n try free of all
duty and w hen o u r m ark e ts are b e tte r than
theirs, as is the case a t present, they ta k e the
business aw ay from o u r mills and we a re help­
less to m eet their com petition.
T he N orthw est lum ber m a n u fa c tu re rs are
asking for a protective tariff on lum ber and
shingles which will g uard a g ain st this influx of
cheap lum ber. Pow erful in te rests com posed of
a few concerns having tim ber holdings in C an­
ada have established a lobby in W ashington to
defeat the tariff on lum ber and to date they
have been successful, due to th e lack of support
w hich the general public h as given o u r sen ato rs
on this im p o rtan t subject. •
