Recent organisation of the

Boiling bureau in Ronburg
hi l received publicity in
south.rn Oregon newspapers.
It wnl explained In tome de
tall at a meeting of the Sou

and Trae Farm aiioclslion in
Oranii Pan. Both bafora and
alnca that meeting there has
been considerable discussion
of ill advantage! or disadvan
tage! In lumber and logging
circle!. The following Hale
ment wai prepared for lha
pros by Karl L, Janouch.
former lupervisor of the
Bogue River national foreit,
and at present forester for the
Southern Oregon Sugar Pin
corporation, in support of the
proposed bureau. In view of
the importance of the subject
to Jackson county's multl-
million lumber industry, jBn
ouch's statement is published
In full. Space will also be de
voted to arguments against
the proposed bureau if some
qualified lumber industry
spokesman should bring them
forward. Editor's note.
By Karl L. Janouch
The lumber Industry is of uch
importance and the effect of
practice! In handling loss U so
great that I think It timely to
clear up misunderstanding
andor mln-statcmenti regarding
the Southern Oregon Selling
bureau.
The purpose of thi bureau ll
to standardize scaling of log!
and whan grading of logs li to
be conducted, to standardize thia
grading.
It li alio purpose of the pro
moter! of this bureau to secure
an Impartial agency to perform
the scaling and grading of logs.
You will note that the promot
er do not mention price for
logs nor do they mention price
to be paid to logger! for logging
timber and transporting the logs
to the marketing point.
There are several scaling bu
reau! In the northwest each of
which has iti own scaling and
grading rules. These rulea have
een drawn up to fit the condi
tion and timber characteristic
of the locality or region covered
by the particular bureau,
There were no exiting ical
ing bureau whoie scaling and
grading rule could ba wholly
applied to southwest Oregon and
reach satisfactory result,
Form Bureau
Therefore, several loggers and
lumber manufacturers In the
Roieburg region felt that an In
dependent scaling bureau that
oould service the aouthweit Ore-
fon timber Industry, Including
ogglng and manufacturing,
ihould be organized. About a
month ago the Soutliorn Oregon
Scaling bureau was organized at
a meeting of logger and wood
niHmiiHclui eri. i was ai hub
meeting and attended several
ubsoquent meeting for perfect
ing the organization, Nine true
tee of the scaling bureau war
elected. Article of Incorpora
tion and by-law were formulat
ed, Four loggen, four wood man
ufacturer and one United State
forest service representative
compose the board of trustees:
The bureau la organized and I
operating. The main office I in
Roseburg.
Scrlbncri "Decimal C" scal
ing rule wa adopted for meas
uring log volumes.
To List Rules
No grading rules have been
adopted as final rules for the bu
reau, A rules committee for
grading fir and rules committee
for grading pine are in the proc
ess of appointment. The mem
bers of these committees are to
be selected from the membership
and not particularly from the
board of trustees. It is planned
that the rules committee for pine
will largely be Jackson and Jose
phine county members. Also,
member! from both thcia coun
ties are to be selected for the
rules committee on grading rule
for fir.
There I good and sufficient
and generally understood reason
for Impartial scaling of logs.
Many loggers are satisfied with
the arrangement whereby all
logs arc scaled by the manufac
turers and there are many who
believe that audi scalers favor
the manufacturer. Manufacturers
feel the same way about logger
scalers. Therefore, an Indepen
dent icaler seems (he best an
ivcr to secure nn impartial scale
since ho Is neither the employee
of the logger nor the manufac
turer. Furthermore, both logger
and manufacturer can appeal
to an Impartial agency to set
tle any dispute or question re
garding volume scaling. The
same opportunities are afforded
the lnpger and maulacturcr
when logs are bought and sold
on grade.
"Mechanical Service"
Publicity on the organization
of the bureau stated that the
establishment of the bureau In
this locality "would have a far
reaching effect on the price of
logs." This statement la not (ac
tual since the bureau would
have no ascendency to or con
trol of transactions which In
volve price schedules for log
or logging. The bureau service
would only be "mechanical" In
nature and it would be governed

Log Scaling
by rule for scaling and grad
ing set up rjy loggers ana manu
facturers. Rule for scaling and
grading as heretofore indicated
will be established by loggers
and manufacturers to fit andor
cover local condition and tim
ber characteristics.
Prices paid for logging and
loga are therefore a matter of
negotiation between logger, id
lers and buyers. Pricei arc lolcly
controlled by market conditions
and no mechanical scaling ind
grading have any effect.
Some opponents of the bureau
state that the present price basl
for logging, buying and selling
logs is not only aatisfactory but
is most efficient. To meet this
argument and with the same
logic, I could propose that ill
grade of coffee be aold for one
price per pound and that govern

Hoover Report
The Hoover committee recom

omy, but would result In waste
and confusion, according to Con
gressional Candidate David C.
Shaw, Curry county attorney, in
an address before the democratic
veterans group at the Medford
hotol Sunday morning.
The occasion was a breakfast
Jointly honoring Shaw and the
democratic candidate for sheriff,
Delroy Aldcrshof, both of whom
are World War II veterans,
More than 40 attended the break
fast. "The change proposed by the
Hoover report would dismember
the functions of the present vet
erans administration, but retain
it a a paper agency," Shaw
said. "Its functions would be
transferred to four other agen
cies. So, instead of one agency,
it would end up with five doing
the job. Where I the economy
in this?"
'Repudiation' Charged
Shaw further said that If the
Hoover committee report were
accep'ed It would be a repudia
tion of Hoover's own policy as
president. It was Presidents
Harding and Hoover, he said,
who established one department
to handle all veterans affairs.
Aldcrshof spoke briefly on his
candidacy for sheriff. He de
clared that If elected he would
be responsive to the full needs of
Jackson county's people, and be
as diligent on behalf of those In
the rural areas who had no other
police protection as he was to
those in the cities. ,
