PAGE FOURTEEN fEDFORP MATTJ TRTBTTNE, fEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 1, 1936 A Vote For LANDON and KNOX Is A Vote For the Return of SANE, ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT! SAVE OUR WHO PAYS LUMBER INDUSTRY In spite of the pleading of the north west lumber industry, President Roose velt hastily and without proper consid eration reduced our tariff on lumber to half of what it formerly was. Already this has resulted in cheap foreign made lumber pouring into the United States until the importations for the first seven months of this year were greater than for the combined years of 1932, 1033 and 1034. Opening our home markets to foreign lumber without asking for similar privi leges for our industry in markets from which we are barred by preferential tar iffs has made the Canadian mills extreme ly prosperous at the expense of lumber men in this country. Taking down the bars to foreign lum ber has 'given the Chinese, Japanese and Hindus of British Columbia the most em ployment they have had In years and has deprived American workmen in the northwest of hundreds of thousands of dollars in payrolls they would have other wise received. In the past when we have had no pro tection again foreign competition it has always wrecked our domestio lumber markets. It will do the same thing again. Elect men to office who will restore the protective tariff on lumber, which President Roosevelt has romoved. Elect Landon and Knox. Relief and Re-Employment Roosevelt's Promise "It is no time for dolay when 11,000, 000 of honest, industrious and willing men and women are tramping the streets and roads of our country looking for work . . . and we of the Democratio party wUl not wait."

(Hou of ntprrontntlna hfmrtnga on Ptrnt Dellrltncy Appropriation Bill. 1039) The Republican Platform ON RE-EMPLOYMENT Tho only permanent solution of the unemployment problom is the absorption of the unomployod by industry and agri culture.
