The other day a prominent lumber manufacturer told a gathering of lurnbermen that the man who made the price rule for log cutting for OPA was a lawyer who knew nothing of log cutting, and refused to be guided or advised by experts. Which, of course, is the way most of the confusion is being brought about. Mr. Heinz told a Congressional Committee that the men who made the rules for canning had never seen canning done, and failed to call into consultation anyone who knew anything about it. Congressman Everett Dirksen, who passed a resolution before Congress adjourned specifying that price fixing executives must be men of experience in the business whose rules they are writing,.announces that the use of inexperienced men in OPA is the rule, rather than the exception.

He says, for instanc":;". 10" nrr". executive over building materials is an oil economist; a college professor is the man in charge of iron and steel; the man fixing prices on industrial materials is a college economist; a political expert from Princeton with no business experience is executive of the paper branch; the price executive over chemicals and drugs is a Harvard economist with no business experience; the price executive over restaurants is an analyst and economist without practical experience in the restaurant line; the durable goods division is headed by an editor; etc.

It seems that these "n" ,.b.-rhat a'ffect the lives of so many Americans generally go either to economists, lawyers, or political lame ducks. A lame duck is a man who doesn't know anything and can't do anything. An economist is a man who knows everything and can't do anything. And if you want to know what a lawyer is, turn to the Eleventh Chapter bf Luke, and see what Jesus Christ said about an"*

You don't find all your good horse sense in serious writings. The other day I got a thrill from a light-hearted story by Kelland, in the Saturday Evening Post in which he makes a wise-cracking young lady make these sage remarks to some men: "What America gives you is a place to do something for yourself in. But it doesn't do your work for you. It simply says that here is a wonderful place where nothing can stop you from doing your best, and nobody puts on the brakes when you try, and the sky is the limit. There's everything for you to use to help yourself, like a ladder up to the roof, only the.ladder is no good unless you climb it yourself. Neither the world nor America owes you a living just for being around and breathing, but you have to use your own arms and legs and climb the ladder, with no one hanging onto your coattails to drag you back. ft's how I always think about this country, but not as an automatic elevator to get you to the top. But the door is open at the bottom to get on the ladder, and open at the top to get off on the roof and see the scenery. Only you got to do your own climbing."

George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin would have.said "Amen" to that kind of talk.

Mill to beMoved to Roseburg

The mill of Young's Bay Lumber Co. at 'Warrenton, Ore., which has operated there since 1930 will be dismantled, according to an announcement by Chas. E. Miller, manager, and the machinery will be moved to Roseburg, Ore., where a plant will be operated for the U. S. Defense Plants Corporation. The new mill will have a daily capacity of 350,000 feet of one-inch boards, and will cut boards exclusively.

Mr. Miller has obtained a large supply of timber. The mill site is just east of Roseburg.
