And this demand for Early American design is creating an unprecedented call for Weyerhaeuser 4-seuARE siding.

This improved siding has become a profitable specialty for lumber dealers all over America. Once a contractor has used it, he is quick to appreciate its advantages.

Every piece is precision-cut to exact length at the mill. Ends are squared. Assembly is speeded up because little end-trimming is required on the job. Clean, weather-tight joints are assured.

Weyerhaeuser 4-seuAnr Precision-Cut Siding is available in two of the most durable species-White Pine (originally used by our forefathers on buildings which are still standing after centuries of weathering) and Western Red Cedar (famous for its timedefying properties).

Vagabond Editoriafs

By Jack Dionne

Vacation time. Vagabond season. When every man de_ velops a sort of nameless yen to go somewhere else and do somethingdifferent.

My own ambition right this minute is to go away back a hundred or so miles from nowhere; somewhere where the air is clean and fresh, where there are fish hungry for the hook, good horses to be ridden, long days for resting and forgetting, long nights for sleep, no telephones, no radio, no newspapers, no news, and only a return trip ticket dated the last of November.

pouldn't that be a grand and*glorious feeling?

They say every mai should try and take a vacation as nearly as possible the opposite of his regular routine. Then, I imagine, the members of our House of Congress should go about during their vacation saying .,No ! No ! No !',

I guess we'll just have to get through this mad political period of the next five months like we got through the past six years of depression; by laughing it off. As a matter of fact, those who laughed are those who lived through it. As Robert Louis Stevenson said:

"Away with funeral music

Set the pipe to powerful lips

The cup of life's to him that drinks

And not to him that sips."

And, since we have -"J"u loi oo".r" and philosophical, f am reminded of a four liner by Rebecca McCann. that breathes the breath of truth:

"It's not the things I fail to do

That makes me wipe this eye;

It's things I should and could have done

And simply failed to, try.,'***

Twisting rapidly from the sublime to the serious I change the subject to a very disagreeable one-taxes. I do so be_ cause f continue to believe that here is one of the most serious of subjects, and one of the least understood even by those who mouth it most. f am looking at a question in print that reads-.,Who pays taxes?" The State Cham_ ber of Commerce of California asks the question, and then proceeds to do some answering in interesting fashion.

This organization has assembled some figures that per_

tain to California, but apply to every other state as well. California has a state income tax law and therefore has available figures not attainable in all districts. The people of California last year paid about 9900,000,000 in Federal, State, and local taxes. The cry we hear so much of nowadays is "Tax the Rich." The "rich" in California, which in this case means all those who make incomes of $5,000 or over, have a total income of 320,00O,00'0. Suppose the tax man demands and collects half o,f all they make. That just makes $160,000,000, and still leaves $740,000,000 that the poor people have got .: n:t..

I have said in this column many times before, and will continue to say in the future-"The rich do NOT pay taxes; they COLLECT them." The only possible way you can put a heavy burden of taxation on the rich is via the income tax route. Any other route is wide open to a transfer of the tax to the ultimate consumer. The income tax route DOES catch him. But long years ago the wisest man who cver wrote on this subi^ct. \fa. -' ;th, who wrote .,The Wealth of Nations," warned tax makers of the pertinent and provable fact whenever a tax reaches an altitude too high to be reasonable it defeats its own purpose by invoking the law of diminishing returns. ***

Tax a man in reasonable manner, and he will pay it and continue to make money. Tax him to a point where he is simply working for the tax collector, and he quits trying. And that means injury to industry and additional unemployment. Keeping money and men employed is our problem.

The indirect tax is the tax that catches the poor man. The poor man generally objects violently to the assessment of a sales tax, because it is a tax he pays directly, AND THEREFORE FEELS DIRECTLY, and he says it is a tax on poverty. He buys a gallon of gasoline and pays the highest tax on earth and never grumbles. The price of 17 cents a gallon seems fair. If the salesman said to him, "The gasoline is twelve cents and the tax is five cents," he would raise Hades. The indirect tax is the one that grinds, but the payer doesn't know it. ***

All taxes, almost without exception, that are assessed upon industry, are added to the cost of the product and collected from the consumer. The man who owns no property and whose income is below the tax level thinks he

pays no taxes. But in reality in the long run he is the BIG tax payer. The money we have been spending in this country in the past three years; the millions that have been broadcast and the billions that have been distributed will all be paid for in TAXES; AND THE INDIRECT TAX WILL PAY THE HUGE MAJORITY OF IT. Everv pair of shoe-strings, every loaf of bread, and every pair of overalls bought in this country for the next one hundred years is going to carry its share of that load. And the man who tries to tell you differently is shouting down a well'

* r< x

During the last week of the last session of Congress they passed the new tax bill, assessing a special tax on undivided surplus. I read figures the other day showing that during the years of the present depression industry dug into its pockets and paid out of surplus something like twenty-six billions of dollars to keep going, keep the wheels turning, and keep millions of men employed during years when there were no earnings with which to pay them. If we forbid the creation of surpluses via the tax route, what will be the protection of industry and labor when trouble comes again? What will we do when the next depression comes along? What would have happened during the past six years had industry not had the twenty-six billions piled up to keep business going and their men employed?

Every member of the NOYO organization is constantly trying tobehelpful and considerate of your problems. That's our way of keeping

Several issues ago I filled the Vagabonds with a discussion of research, what it has done for various industries and products, including lumber. There was lots of kick-back from that discussion. (We even got some advertising as a direct result of it.) It brought me rhany suggestions and some very definite information as to the effects of intelligent research work with regard to lumber, particularly the seasoning of lumber. * * tr(

For instance, one of my lumber manufacturing friends who operates two big sawmills is putting an entire new installation of steam dry kilns in one plant that will handle its entire output. He said to me, "The only trouble about starting these new kilns at this plant is that the lumber will be so immeasurably superior to the lumber produced at our other plant where the kilns are fifteen years old that our customers are all going to want this new type lumber to the disadvantage of our other plant." ***

Maybe he's right. An oil magnate whom I know well, who has specialized in the refining end of the petroleum industry, told me the other day that methods improve so fast in petroleum refining that what was an up-to-the-minute plant ten years ago is absolutely obsolete today, and that the best plant that could be built today would be one hundred per cent obsolete ten years hence.

I don't think it's that bad with lumber drying, but I am convinced that methods and equipment in lumber drying are changing and improving all the time, and that because of continual research work on the part of manufacturers of dry kilning equipment they can dry lumber better this year than they could last, and will be able to dry it better next year than they can now. For kiln drying has become a science. A mill with modern equipment can dry lumber to any degree that will suit the buyer, and the moisture content of lumber has much to do with its successful use.

:F rl. *

Of course, mills with old kilns don't like to be told about it, and don't enjoy being told that they could greatly improve their stock by improving their kilns. The industry is equipped with thousands of dry kilns that simply turn hot air or hot steam loose in a chamber where lumber is piled, and let nature take its course. But that isn't kiln drying in the sense of modern efiort along that line, and modernpossibilities

In the beginning kiln drying was attended by many vicissitudes. The heat was turned on, the outside dried. first, case hardened very rapidly, while the centers were still wet, and Presto ! There was only one thing that wood could do, regardless of how good and strong it might have been. It warped and cracked. So the dry kiln research started in to discover how to dry lumber evenly from center to surface to prevent checking, warping, and the loosening of knots.

,B*!k

In the old days the famous .,Two Black Crows', had a conversation something like this: .,Boy, we raise pigs on our farm. We buy them in the fall and sell them in the spring." "Ifow much did lou pay for them in the fall?" "Four dollars." "And how much did you sell them for in the spring?" "Four dollars." ..Why, you can't make any money that way." And the one with the bass voice used to say: "No. We found that out.', And that's what the dry kiln folks did. They found out.

My old friend Charlie Williams of the Moore Dry Kiln Company says that we hear about "air conditioning" nowadays as though it were something new, whereas they have learned all about air conditioning lumber for the past ten years, doing just what the air conditioning people are now doing to buildings, that is, controlling temperature, humidity, and circulation. They have learned years ago how to create "ideal drying weather" within a dry kiln. The old style kilns had to depend on variation of heat alone to produce circulation.

*tF:k

New type kilns control temperature and humidity to an exactness, and also control and direct the speed and volume of air circulation, distributing this circulation-which is the carrying means for both temperature and humidityuniformly to both sides of every board in a kiln load, resulting in an amazing degree of uniform seasoning.

For years the Dougla, "" ,"*re said that their product could not be successfully kiln dried. When they tried it the degrade losses urere so huge as to discourage further effort, and most Fir was shipped green or air dried. Modern methods of kiln drying have proven that Douglas Fir commons can be kiln dried with even less loss through degrade than they get in air drying the same stock. Western Pine learned the same lesson. So did Redwood. Marvels have been done with Southern Hardwoods. Buyers in the North who used to insist on air dried stock how insist on scientifically kiln dried lumber with their own specified moisture content guaranteed. It was modern kilns that put the breath of value life into Southern Gum and Tupelo.

Old style kilns may easily be modernized. A Model T kiln can be converted into a t937 model, and with the same sort of improved service. The search for lumber improvement through the kiln drying process goes on. It has improved much. It witl improve still more. The law of progress is the law of life.

Forest Growth in Douglas Fir Region

How mu,ch wood the forest land of western Oregon and western Washington produ,ces each year, and how much it' is capable of prodircing under improved management, are questions that can be answered dependably, a.ccording to Thornton T. Munger, director of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station. The station has just concluded the growth phase.of a detailed survey of the region's forest resources and will issue a report prepared chiefly by W. H. Meyer and P. A. Briegleb, on "Forest Growth ,Iri the Douglas Fir Region."

The results of the regional forest survey, under the dire'ction of H. J. Andrews, which is part of a nation-wide project, show how nearly, in the Douglas fir region, the forest is holding its own against present inroads, and indicate to what degree, if present trends continue, it will still stand the inroads of the future.

The'current annual growth of the Douglas fir and other coniferous stands is found to amount to about 886 million cubic feet, or 2,30O million board feet; that of the hardWoods, 31 million cubic feet, or 72 million board feet.

'Average annual depletion for timber of all species during the decade preceding 1933 is ,calculated as 8,300 million board feet, incl'uding a 7,9& million foot cut. Measured in 'board feet, the ,current annual growth of coniferous stands is only about 28.per cent of their average annual depletion in that decade.

Potential annual conferous glowth, whi'ch under intensive forestry practice could be produced each year on the lands suitable for timber production, is found to be approximately 2,759 million cubic feet, or 8,200 million board feet.

The close correspondence of the potential growth and the depletion means that in the'Douglas fir region an annual drain on the forests such as that of the decade preceding 1933 could be equalled by their annual growth if the overmature stands were replaced with growing stands, the forest lands now idle were regenerated, and the density of the existing second growth stands were brought nearer to normal.

Lumber Manufacturing lndustry of Nation Discusses Problems at \(/est Coast Meeting

The midsummer conference of the directors oJ the National Lumber Manufacturers Association was held during the last week in July, in Seattle, Washington, and proved to be a national lumber event of great importance. It was more than a meeting of the directors of the National, for lumber folks showed up from all parts of the nation, many of them vacationing, and, with the West Coast Lumbermen's association and the Tacoma Lumbermen's Club acting as hosts and furnishing entertainment, amusement, and hospitality, they had a big time, both socially and with regard to their business conferences.

Much optimism was noted at the meeting. It was like some of the meetings of the same sort that have been held on the Coast in years gone by. To prove that lumber is not a declining industry, for example, Captain John Woods of the conservation department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, made the statement that the increase in timber resources in the United States today, by reason of tree growth, is equal to or greater than depletion of timber through cutting and all other agencies. He predi.cted a perpetual crop of timber.

J.H. Bloedel, President of Bloedel-Donovan Lumber Mills, of Bellingham, Washington, made a most interesting talk on lumber conditions in the Northwest. He said that in spite of the fact that the workers in the mills and camps of the Pacific Northwest draw by far the highest pay of any lumber workers on earth, more labor trouble has developed out there than anywhere else, and he blamed it entirely on the radical influences at'work in the labor organizations in that part of the world, and not on either hours or wages. Government encouragement he charged with much of their troubles. He spoke in favor of collective bargaining, but against the closed shop. He said that Western mills are paying double the wages of Southern mills.

f. N. Tate, of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Paul, made a grand talk on the need for and the possibilities of progressive lumber trade promotion, whi,ch was promptly declared by C. C. Sheppard, lumber stalwart of Louisiana, to be the best lumber trade promotion speech he had ever heard.

Dr. Wilson Compton told of the legal and legislative situations as developed in the recent session of Congress.

P. A. Hayward, chief of the forest produ,cts division of the United States Department of Commerce, told the lumbermen of various phases of the present lumber export situation and urged the industry to organize efiectively to take advantage of the Government foreign trade policy.

R. G. Kimbell, of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association technical service, spoke glowingly of the work the National is doing and preparing to do along trade extention lines.

The activities of Timber Engineering Company, a subsidiary of the National, created for the purpose of promot- irg, manufacturing, and distributing fabricated timber

structures, was related by two of its officers, George 'W. Dulany and Harry G. Uhl.

C. C. Sheppard told of the trade promotion work of the Southern Hardwood Produ,cers, of which he was the first president and he made an enthusiasti,c report of the things that organization has demonstrated can be done to create a mafket for lumber from unknown and unexpected sources.

J. W. Watzek, Jr. described the national situation with regard to oak flooring.

The meeting was called to order at the beginning by T. V. Larsen, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, who acted as presiding officer.

H. C. Berckes, of New Orleans, secretary-manager of the Southern Pine Association; George W. Dulany, of Chicago; Roger Sands, of Seattle; H. W. Cole, of San Francisco; Carl Blackstock, of Seattle; B. W. Lakin, of McCloud, California; J. H. M'cDonald, of New Westminster, B. C.; Frost Snyder, of Tacoma; Walter B. Nettleton, of Seattle; and C. P. Winslow, of Madison, W,isconsin, all made interesting speeches during the meeting.

Dr. Wilson Compton, of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, reminded the lumbermen that prior to l92O the United States was the first in the world in lumber exports; today it is fifth. Potentially he declared this to be the most important and most able lumber exporting country.

With regard to legislation he cataloged the new feder:al tax bill as a mathematical monstrosity. The Walsh- Healey Bill he passed over as something the lumber industry need not worry much about, as it applies only to orders for $1O,00O and upward. The Patman-Robinson bill he cataloged as so vague that it will be some time before lumber folks can hope to discover just what it means to them.

Dr. Compton reported the National to be in the best of shape, nearly all the regional assqciations being members on an equal basis, and its work being done in most progress.ive manner.

O. O: Mclntyre told one about the drunk who staggered out on the street just in time to see a dainty, aloof, lovelylooking woman sweep proudly by. He watched her go' then staggered back to the bar. "At's what makes a drunkard of me," he mumbled. "Women won't let me alone."

Which reminds me of a story that great Irish-dialect story-t€ller of the Pacific Northwest, Tom Shields, has told for many years. The circus parade was going down the street of a sawmill town in the old days when the wooden sidewalks were frequently built high above the ground.

R.ETURN FROM EASTERN TRIP

' Walter Hardwick, owner of the Dinuba Lumber Co., Dinuba, and Mrs. Hardwick, have returned from a three months'trip in the East.

They sailed from Los Angeles for New York last April, going through the Panpma Canal where one day stops were made at Panama and Havana, arriving at New York :City, May 11. They took their machine along with them ,on the same boat. They visited some time in New York and motored to Washington, Boston, through the state of iMaine to Mr. Hardwick's old home in Nova Scotia, thence to Quebec, Montreal, Niagara Falls, Detroit, Des Moines, Kansas City, Salt Lake City and Lake Tahoe, returning to Dinuba, July 20.

r Mr. Hardwick states he found business on the Eastern coast at a low ebb, and the Central West had the third failure of ,corn owing to the severe drouth and hot winds that swept Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. California was the brightest spot he found on the trip, and he was glad to 1 get back home.

This Irishman stood at the edge of such a walk, six feet from the earth, and watched the parade with all eyes. Along came an elephant, and seated in gala splendor on the elephant's back was an ornate blonde in tights and loud colored velvets. The lrishman's eyes never left her. She passed the point where he stood, so he shifted slightly to follow her, one foot went ofr the edge of the sidewalk, and down he went. He sat up, wiping dirt and sawdust from his face, and was heard to mutter: "If thim damn wimmen wud just let a man alone, he cud get along foine."

CELOTEX B'TIYS.NEW PLANT

B. G. Dahlberg, president of The Celotex Corporation, has announced the purchase by Celotex of the Metuchen, N.'J. plant of R. J. Scott & Company, manufacturers of asphalt roofing material. According to Mr. Dahlberg, this property will be used by The Celotex Corporation, for the manufacture of certain new products now under development.

"Despite the fact that the capacity of the Celotex plant at New Orleans has been re'cently increased," Mr. Dahlberg states, "it can hardly be expected to do more than care for the rapidly increasing demands for current Celotex products. The only way to provide for the development of new products was to acquire another plant and the R. J. Scott factory seems ideally suited to our present requirements and future plans." i

Frost Hardwood Lumber Co. Makes Addition To Yard

Culminating a twenty-five year period of continuous growth, the Frost Hardwood Lumber Company, located on Market at State Street in San Diego, last month completed its new yard addition, an outside lumber drying and

ten feet in the rear, has been attained by using random width knotty pine boards, the edges unevenly bandsawn and the ends rounded, and assembled upright with random spacing. Finished in antique,colonial, a final rustic touch is

storage yard which adds approximately 20,000 square feet to the plant.

Facing 18O feet on Market Street, State Highway 101 and one of San Diego's industrial thoroughfares,

No. and

added by plugging each board with three-quarter inch black walnut. Along both fences run l0O foot signs made up of 42-inch laminated sugar pine letters painted a brilliant orange, which prove an effective advertising medium.

Added safety and convenience is achieved in the new plant by carrying the railroad siding within the yard and extending it nearly the full length of the plot. The present setup makes it possible to reach within 15O feet of every lumber pile in the yard. Twenty-foot alleyways with ample turning space are surfaced with decomposed granite, with water facilities installed for keeping the rolled surfaces packed.

This last addition marks the latest in a long line of improvements since Albert A. Frost, otvner of the Frost Hardwood Lumber Company, set up business a quarter of a century ago at the foot of 9th Street in San Diego. Tn 1923 Mr. Frost moved to his present location and constructed his present office and storage building. Later, an outside shed for drying was built.

Plans now under way indicate that Mr. Frost intends to carry his improvement schedule further with an electric loading crane and facilities to be installed some time next year.

Interior aiew of uarchouse showing one of the two truck lanes. nearly 300 feet toward the Embarcadero, the new addition has facilities for the ready handling of about one million feet of stock piled on concrete-supported bearings. A distin,ctive fencing arrangement, eight feet high in front, and

Wholesaling of hardwood lumber, flooring, plywoods, Sugar and Ponderosa pine is the principal business of the company.

Madonna, I have gone the world around, Fought for blue jewels, marked tfie azure dyes Of Tyra. Great wonders have I foundI have seen nothing lovely as your eyes,

Madonna, I have sailed a hundred seas, Coasted the famous gardens of the South, Plucked roses born of fire. Yet what were these? I have seen nothing lovely as your mouth.

Madonna, I have seen a land struck white, Frozen and ice-locked from a world apart, Have felt the white-death at my throat all nightI have known nothing cold as is your heart. Theodosia Garrison in Harper's Magazine.
