Lookins Ahead

(Continued from I'age 21) n'ar conditions is probably pa1-ing 81 per cent of its final dollar of earnings in income taxes to the federal government.

Take our own company's savings on this barker and chipper at Everett as an example. In a practical sense, 81 per cent cif the resulting substantial savings went to the government in 1942. In addition, to the extent that the resulting pulp was sold to the government, the other 19 per cent also was taken through the process now coming to be well known as renegotiation.

There exists today no incentive whatsoever for a colllpany like ours to risk $750,000 or any other sum of money to efiect cost reductions, to pursue research or bring out new products, except the hope that after the war the taxing power will be more gently exercised.

This company's present and post-Victory policies are entirely predicated upon a belief in a return of endurable taxes and a degree of business freedom commensurate with the responsibilities that we are willing to assume. We expect to continue to remold our plant facilities as new markets can be developed-markets that will utilize the wood now growing on the Weyerhaeuser-Klamath Tree Farm and on other similar areas.

In short, with your permission, we exPect to stay in business.

Scheduling of Softwood Plywood

Limitation Order L-l50, covering the scheduling of softwood plywood, was interpreted today by the War Production Board as requiring producers of softwood plywood to accept all orders for that product which meet their regular established prices and terms.

This condition, the interpretation holds, applies to the seller who regularly supplies only certain types of purchasers such as wholesalers, jobbers and retailers. He may reject orders from other types of purchasers only when it is practicable for such purchasers to obtain the merchandise required and in the quantity desired through regular trade channels.

\Vest Coagt Logr

Sellers of West Coast logs produced in a specific section of the Southern Oregon Tillamook District were authorized by the Office of Price Administration to charge Tillamook District prices for logs delivered at railroad heads or mill ponds in the Columbia River District.

The pricing procedure is applicable to logs produced in Lincoln County, Oregon, north of the Siletz River, and in Tillamook County, Oregon, south of a line running east and west through Hebo, Oregon.

Authorization to use Tillamook prices on deliveries to Columbia River District rail heads is given in Amendment No. 6 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 161 (West Coast Logs), and becomes effective August 4, 1943.
