Iowa and the Porto Rican Bill

Des Moines, la, March 8. - The
members of the Iowa legislature are
nearly unanimous in denunciation Of
the Porto Rican tariff bill as passed
by the house. The general opinion Is
that the bill is unjust and the passage
great mistake for the Republican
party. Iowa representatives are by
no means supported in their vote on
the bill and the hope is freely ex-
pressed that the bill will be defeated
in the senate.

A Hard Rain.

'Tt rains a great deal in the Puget
sound country" said the man from
that section. and heard of funny
incident not long ago about it. Some
chap had come from the Missippi val
ley TO take up his residence at What
com, on Bellingham bay, where there
are very high tides. When the boat
landed him at the end OF the long pier
extending over the tide flats the water
was low and the new man didn't notice
anything but a wide stretch of sand
between the boat and the town. 1t
was In the evening about dark and was
raining, and he went to the hotel on
the front street and stayed there. going
to bed without having gone out for u
walk. The next morning when he got
up he looked out and the tide was in,
the water coming up close to the hotel.
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and, throwing up his hands
in astonishment. he exclaimed, Gee
whiz, but 1t must have rained hard
last night Then he hurried down
stairs to the Office to find out If there
was any danger from the flood, and the
clerk smiled four or five times and
gave him some much-needed informa-
tion. on.'-Washington Star.

HIGHPRICE OFPAPER.
TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PUP A
COSTLY ONE.
Hay Compel Subscribers to Pay More
for Their Country Newspaper - The
Cry for Its Instant Repeal Is Very
Loud-Paper Trust Robbery.

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there IS no reason in the
interest OF American Industry that
pleads for the continuance OF these
taxes They are now simply an ele-
ment OF robbery under color of law.
and they should be sffaced from our
statutes
The paper trust IS now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers of the
country many millions. not because OF
any such actual increase in the cost OF
producing paper. but because the trust
has the power TO extort from the pur-
chasers OF paper up 70 the extent that
would make tarIff-taXed foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
nanded here. This trust has played its
scheme OF exJortiOn 10 the uttermost,
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American In
dustry and that has become only an
agent TO rob the consumers.
Two-thlrds OF the wood pulp used IN
the manufacture Of paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada. but It is excluded by a tariff tax,
and we are now rushing headlong In
the destruction OF our forests, while
Canada. with Its almost limitless sup
ply OF timber. cannot reach our mar
kets because Of the tax imposed by
the tariff
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first, that the paper trust should be
at once halted in its rapid destruction
OF our American forests by the admis-
sion OF free wood pulp from Canada;
and. second. that the present extortion
practlced BY the paper trust upon pub
fishers OF newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection OF the gov
ernmenL
The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary profits by tariff
duties must cease to be protected by
the government. Where American in
dustry needs projections 1t is reason
able to permit it. but where alleged
protection is used only for systematic
robbery. it must be oyerthrown.
We can now manufacture paper as
cheaply as any country in the world.
There is no excuse whatever for. q tax
upon the manufactured articles. and
the raw material should be free, not
only because the general principle is
correct. but because II II shall not be
done promptly our forests will be prac-
ticalIy destroyed within a few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber of
Canada from our markets.
Paper and pulp must be made free
of all taxes as the paper trust has dem
onstrated that these taxes serve. only
single purpose-that is to invite. Eob-
