The premier's recently issued statement in regard to the wheat situation indicates that recuperative measures are to be taken on behalf of the facilities of the wheat pools. This was the logical thing to do since the pool has built up the largest grain marketing organization in the country. Premier Bennett will be achieving a lot for the benefit of the country if he succeeds in his announced objective of bringing about 'orderly marketing of crops and definite assurance that panic conditions will not be permitted to control prices." Tfc . SPRUCE VS. OTHER LUMBERS Once airain we hear that spruce is a competitive product with other species of lumber. This time H. R. McMillan, of course, an interested party, tells us that it is. If Prince Rupert people cannot use spruce lumber in their building, it may be necessary to close down the local mill, he says. Without reopening any argument as to the merits of sprtice or any other lumber, it would seem to be highly advisable that, if spruce or any locally-produced lumber can be used at all in local building operations it should be used. The closing down of the loeal sawmill would make the local unemployment situation just thatmuch worse and, if there is anything reasonable local citizens can do to prevent the mill being closed, they BhoUld certainly act accordingly. INITIATIVE Russia's "five-year plan," which was to prove to the world that Communism is the ideal economic and political system, is gradually converting the Russian Communists to the principles of capitalism. Like Frankenstein, their own-creature has turned upoii them. Theoretical communism has decreed equality of wages on the ground that the worker, whatever he does, is entitled to draw from the common store acquired by the labor of all not what he earns, but what he needs. Orthodox communism relied on two incentives to labor, enthusiasm in the individual worker for the common good, or, where that was lacking, conscription of labor. li you wc:c to V;s.(, l,os Ange:es alligator farm the i ove strange pair would be the first to grce; you at the entrant , Teddy, the do;; and Willie, tilt 135-year-old gator Pifembers of Associated Boards Of Trade Visit Fur Farm at Ootsa Lake and Other Places BURNS LAKE, Aug. 10j On Thursday of last week the delegates to the Associated Boards of Trade convention were taken on a wonderful drive fifty miles southward to Ootsa Lake, two of the Prince Rupert delegates, H.

The Russian experiment has been forced to proceed by the method of trial and error, of scrapping dogmas that will not work for practices that will work. Years ago it discovered the indlspehsability of capital, and now it discovers the necessity of individual initiative and incentive if industry Is to function in high gear: the necessity of stimulating the individual to do his best by making it worth his while, and the necessity of a class of experts and managers even in a classless proletariat.
