III on lumber said $Mr. Bowling to IT h e
journal. "The people of my district are
large consumers Of lumber. and the rapidly
increasing cost of the product is felt rs a
heavy burden. Tho removal of the tariff
would lessen the price 81 thousand to the
farmer and business man. It would also be
benefit to the retail lumber dealer. 1t
would add an important item to the field of
competition in this market. and would stop
the shipment of northwestern lumber to the
eastern cities. Canadian lumber would supply
the eastern market. and northwestern
mills would sell their product in the west.
The retail dealer would get his lumber at
least 81 less on the thousand, he would have
no trouble in %procuring stock, and could do a
larger business on smaller capital. If am
elected to congress shall vote and work for
repeal of the 81 lumber tariff
