He said the total cost of getting lumber to market today, not figuring overhead or comhmissions is about $40 a thou- sand feet, He said the prohibition law is caus- ing unrest among the lumber men and has failed to increase their efficiency, He called attention to the need of | reforestation and asked that every man when he goes to the polls, vote for reforestation legislation to save the forests, N.
