AN UNFORTUNATE BLUFF

We regret to see evidences that reci-
procity Is not being taken up in Canada
in the same spirit of fairness that has
characterized the agitation on this side
Of the line for reciprocity with Canada.
1t begins to be plain that the reciprocity
resolution lately introduced inRthe Cana
dian parliament by John Charlton, a
member of the joint high commission, is
more of a threat than friendly step
towards reciprocity. A correspondent Of
the Boston Journal says:
The resolution does not provide for reci-
procity in natural products. It provides for
rebate of 40 per cent upon dutiable goods
entering Canada from countries that admit
Carada's natural products free: and it also
provides that the tariff be increased where
necessary to sufficiently protect established
Canadian industries that would be affected
by the rebate.
This would he reciprocity with Jug
handle, indeed. While the natural prod
ucts of Canada are to be admitted free to
the great American market, the Ameri-
cans will have the advantage of reduc-
ton Of 40 per cent in tariff that will
be hoisted in advance so that the reduc-
ton will not injure Canadian manufac-
turers.
The resolution is probably thrown out
as bluff to arouse American attention to
the reciprocity question. The Canadians
probably think that If they assume a
cocky attitude we will cease to treat them
with Indifference. 1t is too true that we
have too long looked upon the Canadians
with Indifference and have neglected the
promotion Of friendly trade relations with
| them. We must. therefore, accept the
deprecating its unfortunate lack of fair
! ness, a lack that will have very de-
pressing, instead of stimulating, in
! fluence on Canadian reciprocity senti-
ment in this country. 49,,

FOREST TAXATION

While discussing the tonnage tax prop
opositfon yesterday, State Auditor Dunn
remarked that it was as unreasonable to
tax ore production instead of the. mines
themselves as to leave pine forests un-
taxed till cut. We have no dispute with
Mr.. Dunn as to the tonnage question, but
the parallel he seeks to draw is not al
together happy. Whenever the state shall
make a serious effort to secure reforesta-
ton it will have to begin by excusing
from taxation standing timber. The tax
now imposed on such timber is a pre-
MUM on it's rapid destruction The in
come from forestry as business is too
small to permit OF taxation on the stand
ing pine, which is means of expendi-
ture to the owner instead Of source of
income. He derives a revenue from it
only when the standing timber is con-
verted into lumber and logs, and it is on
them that he should be taxed-when the
object of the state is to encourage forest
raising. Even under present conditions
lumbermen think they are unreason-
ably taxed on standing pine. People
generally, and particularly those of the
pine counties, will not agree with them.
because they think that it is only by tax
ing the forests that they can get any
thing out of the large private fortunes
that are being made out of what was once
the possession of all the people. Yet
there is no doubt that the present de-
struction of the forests would not pro-
coed so rapidly and so ruthlessly If taxes
were not so high as to make it to the
owners interest to convert his trees into
lumber, and then into money, at the ear
Hest possible moment. In this connection
it would be well for the legislature while
amending the constitution to provide a
phrase or clause that will make constitu-
/ tional legislation framed to encourage re-
forestation and forest preservation
through remission of taxes onslands de-
voted to that purpose.

The FIGHT ON CONCESSIONS

The republican caucus at Washington
last night, came to no decision as to the
acceptance of the 20 per cent relief to
Cuban planters proposed by the ways and
means committee Of the house. The OPP
ponents of any liberality in dealing with
this question profess to be dreadfully
afraid lest the American Sugar Refining
company will derive all the advantage
accruing from any lowering of the duty
on raw sugar from Cuba. They profess to
be very anxious for the planters in Cuba
to clean up all the profit to be made. 1t
is proposed to head off the sugar trust by
paying the planters bounty direct and
other schemes have been evolved to pre-
vent the making of reciprocity treaty
or reduction Of the duty of $1.68A per
hundred on raw sugar. Mr.. Tawney is
conspicuously fearful of the trust which
refines cane sugar, but he is apparently de-
sirOus of sustaining the opposition Of the
beet sugar refnerers to any tariff reduc-
ton, although the head of the beet sugar
interest has declared, only a little over
two years ago, that the beet sugar men
could get along very comfortably and
pocket healthy profits, even if the coun-
try was on free sugar basis. The
anxiety lest the American Sugar Refining
company, known as the sugar trust"
will fatten on any contemplated reduc-
ton Of duties on raw sugar, does not ap-
pear to be we'll based for the price Of
raw sugar is fixed at Hamburg and the
price in New York would be the Hamburg
price with the duty of Sissy per hun
dred pounds added. Of course, the price
of raw sugar delivered at Havana or other
Cuban port would be the Hamburg price
with whatever tariff reduction is made
by congress added. The concession would
go to the producer, not to the American
Sugar Refining company, and there is no
use trying to set up that concern as a
DOGGY to prevent concessions to Cuba
TWO years ago congress knocked off 81
per cent of the duty on raw sugar as a
concession to Porto Rico and no sugar
interest has suffered from that act In this
country, and, to-day, Porto Rican sugar
comes in free of duty. Yet in all the
storming about the ruin of our sugar
interests no ruins can be found from
that cause Neither were any ruins

ALASKA IS GROWING WARMER
Chicago Chronicle.


Tacoma, Wash.-Sea captains lately arrived
from the western coast of Alaska announce
their belief that the Japan current has
changed its course in the eastern part OF the
Pacific ocean and is now running several
hundred miles to the north and east Of its
former channel.
Since the fall of 1899, these mariners hold
that this warm ocean current has been
sweeping with constantly increasing strength
toward the Alaskan shore line.
In the fall Of 1899 the western coast Of
Alaska was shaken by terrific earthquake.
Since that time Alaska's climate has been
changing 1t is believed that the Japan cur
rent was turned eastward by stupendous
submarine upheaval, which formed a new
change OF submarine mountains, throwing the
current against the shore.
At first it was cooled by sea-Ievel glaciers,
which accounts for the gradual change in
temperature. The current has finally re-
sumed its warmth and the whole Alaskan
climate has become milder. Last summer
the climate there was rainy and warm like
Puget sound, 1000 miles farther south. The
entire winter has been mild and rainy from
Nome to Juneau.
