LITIGATION AT AN END.
But Money Is Neede to Pay for
Dressed Inmher Decision.

, a
1t is probable that there will be no more
litigation over the question of lumber
dressed on one side or one side and two
edges being classified as a manufactured
product, making il subject to an ad va
loren duty Of % per cent. before II can be
brought into the United States. That is
the decision of the United States general
appraisers, rendered at Washington City,
and although the importers nave a right
of appeal 10 the United States circuit
court. so far as known they have taken no
action.
But the litigation so far has been expen-
sive. and a move is now making to enable
lumbermen all over the country TO con-
tribute to a fund 10 pay the costs TO that
end. Frank r. Cole. secretary Of the Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association of the
Northwest, has written a letter to, lumber
manufacturers in which he says:
THE Shilling. Whitney & Barnes Lum-
Der Company. of Boston, Mass. have given
their time without charge in the prosecu-
ton OF this case. Competent legal talent
was employed, with the result OF winning
the case. The necessary expenses have
reached $4,000, which the lumbernen OF
the United States are asked 10 raise. II
view OF the w:de-reaching benefits which
the successful prosecution Of this case has
created. the president and directors OF the
Lumber Manufacturers Association Of the
Northwest have instructed me 70 ask you
TO Join in assisting to raise the amount
above mentioned. II Will be unnecessary
to recite here what this decision means TO
the lumbermen Of the United States, I will
only ask that you donate what seems just
from your company. Make rem.ttances

1UHh-A few weeks ago I stood on
tke public square N front Of
us rsoneer block n this city
and for several days saw and heard a
sale Of real estate az auction beng held
ind r the direction and order Of the court.
for the very purpose OF paving the de-
%Enquent taxes Of a great estate.
This sale was .sot for cash. but was on
terms Of one-third cash q believer and the
balance in one and two years; and IL Is a
fact that very little Of the property sold
and confirmed by the court that was not
in the business district brought its as
sessed valuation. And il Is a further fact
that all Of the bids that were NOT con-
firnled were much less than it's assessed
valuation. And in a majority Of the cases
not more than one-half Of the assessed
valuation was offered. This property was
good. irst-class resident property; net
wildcat property, and the prices offered
are A fair index OF what like property
would bring If offered for sale.
Many valuable homes are being offered
for the mortgages, or about one-half OF
their value. and there are no buyers
Why? The answer is. that taxes are S3
mills on an already foo high valuation, and
men VIII not invest their money. II is
people we want. II is manufactures we
want and need more than we wan or
need the Cedar river water plant at this
time.
Again. I myself want a home. Would
like TO own my own home. but what are
the facts: I am today renting a fine resi-
dence in the best part Of the city for less
than one-half Of what il will cost me
annually TO own IL. And l am paying too
much! The result is that as long as I
can do that ! would be 4 fool 10 buy a
home.
| say the time has come when the citi-
gems Of this city have got TO decrease
their burdens instead OF increasing them
or the result will be bankruptcy and repu-
diation.

cry voter who has the hest interest and
welfare OF the city at heart ought to vote
