STATE PRINTER sQUABBLE
Tactics Adopted Which Cause a
Postponement.

The fight on abolishing the office of
state printer has begun in earnest. The
resolution Of the chairman of the print
ing committee, Charles Harris that the
Office be abolished. has been held up by
the committee. The postponement is ac-
complished at the instance of persons
method. They have sent to the other
states for information and will try to
show that Kansas is not paying ex-
cessively for printing.
State Printer w. Y. Morgan is the
party most interested. He is reelected
for q term of two years, and the even
tual adjustment of the Office would not
be supposed to affect him But it has
been discovered that if the legislature
adopts Harris resolution little harm is
done, but when the amendment is given
ratification at the polls. as it is ex-
pected will happen in 1902 the oft1ce
would be wiped out for the balance OF
his second term. most profitable part,
because it would include the next SeS-
sion Of the legislature.
Politicians and other influences are
also at work. The Topeka printers say
the abolishing of the office would re-
duce work for men, and other printers
who have the plum in view in future
years do not like to see it shaken from
the tree forever.
While the house committee holds up
the resolution, time will be given to
adopt others ahead of it, and so get De-

Chairman Harris. of the printing COM

GROWTH OF LUMBER TRADE.

The Lumber Trade of the United
States is the title Of a monograph just
issued by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics The lumber industry and trade, il
hnds, has within quite recent years
changed from a small scale Of produc-
ton to one in which machinery, a large
outlay OF capital and a far-sighted pol
icy Of development of properties are be-
coming controlling factors. This change
is due partly to the growth Of domestic
demand and partly to the fear OF pre-
raaturely exhausting our timber re-
sources. The existence Of surplus CAPT
tai looking for new fields of investment
has had a tendency to eliminate the
small-scale lumberman; and the policy
o. European states in rigidly limiting
the annual cut Of lumber to something
like the rate OF increase In the grow h
or forest has forced European lumber
consuming interests to come to the Uni
ted States and Canada. especially for
hard woods and lumber for building
purposes As a result, the foreign luna-
Der trade Of the. United States has
g-own enormously. Within quite recent
years it has developed from a local to
Worldwide commercial movement.
In the foreign trade. the Atlantic
ports, the Gulf ports and those on the
Northern Eac1nc coast nave shared

ing shipped from these ports and from
the country as whole than at any pre-
Vious time in the history of the country
