WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-A
meeting Of the. newspaper publishers
association was held here to-day to di-
rect the attention OF the American
members Of the Anglo-American com.
mission to the urgent need of policy
which shall protect American forests. a
statement was adopted. to be presented
TO the commission and members of con.
gress, declaring that the honest inten-
tions which originally induced the es.
tablishment of the tariff on paper and
pulp have been perverted to further the
purposes OF the International Paper
Company. and that every newspape,
publication in the country east of the
Rocky Mountains has been placed a,
the mercy of that corporation. Within
the last week this company has acqulr-
ed fourteen additional mills and is ne
Botlating for three other properties
which represent all OF the output from
the independent mills in the territory
east Of Michigan.
According to the statement OF the
publishers. the international Paper
Company is combination Of thirty
mills. capitalized at SOL. 1000. 900 and con-
trolling so per cent of the news output
The common stock Of $4,000, 900. repre-
sents only good will. and the entire pro-
duct could be duplicated upon 4. capi-
talization of $1,000 600 so that print pa
per users In the United States are fore
ed to bear the burden OF an excessive
capitalization of S40,000.OOO and to pay
an added charge of $2000,O0O per an
mum. The statement concludes:
THAT machinery OF the government
which imposes prohibitory duty on
print paper is also placing n premium
on the exhaustion Of our spruce forests
and is adding to the destruction
wrought by forest fires and vandal
methods of timber cutting. No success
ful competition with the International
Paper Company is possible in the Uni
ted States under existing conditions.
A tax on newspapers operates indi-
rectly. as did the stamp tax of Europe.
to suppress newspapers. il is tax of
S2.0OO.OO0 per annum on intelligence. q
tax on popular education anG on polit-
ical knowledge. We. therefore urge thae
advantage be taken of the opportu-
nifty offered b. the Canadian treaty me-
gotlations 10 place pulp and paper on
The free list and thereby give @the"cnay
strong and permanent assurance 81
protection from this combination" All
the leading papers of the country were
represented at the meeting.
