IIITIIIILCOUHEIT "Our code has nothing in it diffi cult to understand for those who want to do businehs in the right way Hawley w. Wilbur, lumoer merchant of West Allis, Wisconsin, told) more than 2,000 members of the Northwoatern Lumberman's Association at its 34th annual convention in Minneapolis. "It coordinates decent ethics of business into a law and gives industry and trade an opportunity to demonstrate whether they can manage their affairs for profit to themselves, benefit to customers, and improvement of labor conditions." Mr. Wilbur joined with proprietors of small and large lumber yards in declaring that "no one who is guided by a rightful conscience need fear one word of and continued his report of a careful study of the code: "The present impasse which we call the depression is partly the result of our tendency to play the game of unrelated sets of rules rules for protection, for distribution and for consumption. The Federal Government, which first sought to faclliate rules for producers and then to coordinate those of production and distribution, is now seeking through the NRA to include the consumer in a redefinition of all of the rujes." To several who addressed the public hearings on the code for the retail lumber trade in Washington, there were difficulties which at first seemed almost insuperable.

A dealer who said he had conducted a lumber business in Cleveland for 46 years, asserted thac 90 per cent, of the lumber shipped to his city was consigned to and handled by middlemen. He stressed the added costs to consumers dnd ruinous results to established dealers. The itinerant middlemen knew little of grades. They were not interested in conservation of the Nation's timber supply. Yet regional conventions in various parts of the country have received reports within the past few weeks which have gone far toward dispelling all doubts.

One delegate at Minneapolis, where five States were represented, advised the convention: "Put the jigsaw puzzle of our code together and you find a beautiful picture." Not the lea3t reassuring note heard is the disposition to accord consideration to the consuming public ae- a-prime requisite to successful operation of codes. President Roosevelt is out after gfafters and big salaries of men, doing nothing, therefore he cancels all Air Mail Contracts and on February 20th, "Our Own Army Planes and Eilots" will start delivery the Air Mail over the routes.

It requires no mathematical knowledge of high grade, therefore, to arrive at the conclusion that he was born in 1882. The world at large took no particular notice of what was tQ be come later important historical event. The world hal other things to occupy its mind. The French were beginning to dig the Panama Canal. Professor Koch of Berlin had announced- the discovery of the tuberculosis germ, which still livos, by the way.

It is likely, even, that for-one-person yho marked the arrival of Franklin D. Roosevelt, there were a million who read with interest that the career of Jesso James, the bandit, had been terminated by a bullet. Mr. Roosevelt's beginning wr.s as- little commented upon as the advent of any other infant, but he has lived to see most the important events of 1882 -forgotten. Shakespeare was laid away at the age of fifty-two, and his work done.

At fifty two, Mr. Roosevelt's work lies him. Not everyone can share his views is the letter, yet few belittle his task or crave to take the burden from his shoulders. Reserving the right wholesome debate and liberality of speech, even his political enemies wish him well as a half-century plus a double twelvemonth wing their way above his head.
