JAPAN'S NATIONAL FINANCES.

Japan having experienced the boom
following successful war, is suffer-
ing just at the present time from
the depression which unfortunately
comes with unpleasant regularity
when a country branches out in in
tiated prosperity.
A statement has recently been pub
lished which shows the drop in price,
during three months, of leading Sc
curities quoted on the Toxic Stock
Exchange. The statistics give the
highest price in January last and
compares it with the quotation on
March 20. The slump" per share in
the securities noted follows: Toxic
Railway, $20.66; Yokohama Electric
Railway, $136.95; Nippon Yusen Kali
sha, $4705; Toxic Gas, $60.10; To-
kio Electric Light, $94; Fuji Gassed
Yarn, $1,000; Toxic Spinning,
S99.S0; Kanegafusch Spinning,
S131.5O; Beer Company, $57.75; Sug-
ar Refinery, S6S.45; Rice Exchange,
$140.50; Mercantile Exchange,
S72.1O; Toxic Stock Exchange,
$39S.10; Toxic Stock Exchange, new
shares, $397.20.
1t will be seen from this that ia
pans securities have been trending
sc heavily toward bedrock that they
have apparently been carried beyond.
With finances in such a condition it
is easy to understand the great joy
of the Japanese in securing closer re-
lations with France, not SO much for
backing in time of war as to obtain
financial support for developing and
carrying on the industries of peace.
In this connection the latest official
statement of the Japanese national
debt furnishes fruit for thought
among those interested in the re-
sources of our national neighbor. This
statement claims for Japan a present
population of 48,S64,000, which is
about the same as that of the United
States in 1879.
The revenues for the current year
are estimated at $30S, 100000 and
the national debt is reported as
2,217,722,753 yen, the equivalent, In
round figures of 100000 900.
Nearly all of the foreign loan, and a
very large part of the total indebt-
edness, represents money obtained for
the wars with China and with Russia.
Practically the whole of the interior
loan, amounting to little more than
$500, 900, 900, bears 5 per cent inter-
est. There is a foreign loan of $48,-
1915, 900 at per cent for railways
and public works. Of the foreign war
loan $1O7,3S3, 900 bears per cent,
$292,890,O bears 4 IL per cent
and $122,037,500 bears per cent.
The total foreign debt is 1911, 3d.
500. A part of the domestic loan
also represents military and naval
expenditures. In March of this year
loan of 100000 pounds at per
cent for 40 years was issued for the
refunding of the 6 per cent loans OF
May, 1904 (10,OO0,O0O pounds) and
November, 1904 (12,O00,000 pounds)

WHAT MAKES THE PRICE OF LUMBER SO H1eH7

Note that freight charges exceed The
cost of lumbenin every instance.
This means that additional cost of
constructing dwelling will be $4,000,
because the lumbermen of the Pacific
Coast are in no position to absorb the
raise in rates. The earnings of the
Hill and Hartman lines for the year
ending June 80, 1907, are said to be the
largest in the history of the roads.
The lumbermen of the Pacific Coast
believe that the public is interested in
this struggle, and that public sentiment
can induce the railroads to forego advan-
cling rates. To this end it is suggested
that all consumers write personal let
ter, protesting against the advance to
the following:
J.,J. Hill, president Great Northern
Railway, St. Paul, Mimi
Howard Elliott, president Northern
Pacific Railway, st. Paul, MINI.
E. H. Hartman, Arden, N. Y.
And also that the different CONNER
cial bodies take the matter up on be-
half of the consumers. 4
So far as the Pacific Coast is con-
cerned the new rates mean bankruptcy
to the vast lumber interests and jeop-
ardizing the employment of 1872, 900
persons. Hence the necessity flor
public protest. Sincerely Yours,

A resolution was introduced and pas
scd by Congress last winter authorizing
the Bureau of Corporations of the De-
partment of Commerce and Lumber to
investigate the cause of the high prices
for lumber. This investigation is now
under way, and the lumber manufac-
turers of this country welcome it, be-
cause they know that the real cause
will be uncovered excessive freight
rates.
Take the case of the Pacific Coast,
for example. Washington. Oregon,
California, Idaho, and Montana con-
tains 900, 900, 100000 feet of standing
timber enough to construct as, 900, 900
houses, and sufficient to care for the
wants of the entire United States for a
period of rs years. This region con-
tains over 1000 saw and single mills,
employing 1872, 900 persons, and a pay
roll of approximately $135, 10000 per
year. Last year these states shipped
by rail II, 900, 900 tons of lumber, on
which the freight charges were not far
from $3.50, 900, 900. The entire operat-
ing expenses of the Northrn Pacific is
paid by the lumbermen Of the state of
Washington alone, and the most profit
able business of all the transcontinen-
tai lines is this very same lumber haul.
Were it not for the forests on the Pa
cific Coast the entire traffic of all the
lines could be handled by one road.
The cost of producing this lumber at
the present time is about $13 so per
1000 feet, and the average Selling price
is about SIS. 90 per 1000 feet at the mill.
This does not necessarily mean that
flooring, finish, ceiling, siding, etc., is
sold at this price, because as matter
of fact the so-called upper grades bring
a much higher price, but only rs per
cent of the tree can only be utilized for
the better grades, while rs per cent is
fit only for common lumber, on account
of knots and other defects, and sells
from $500 to S13. 90 per 1000 feet, and
consequently Sis. 90 covers the average
price of the output.
Freight charges are so high that in
many cases the original selling price OF
lumber is exceeded. For example
rough lumber weighs $500 pounds per
1000 feet, and by adding the freight
charges one can ascertain the delivered
1.price per 1000 feet at the following
points:

From Pacific Coast to

After this explanation one can readi-
ly understand why, for example, the
Hill and Hartman lines own and con-
troll the traffic from the Pacific Coast
and explains the immense increase in
railroad earnings from year to year.
For example, the gross earnings of the
the Northern Pacific during the years
1900 to 1906, inclusive, were 1908, $751;
1884, the operating expenses, $685.,
579, 1854. SIS and the net earnings, $149,-
988, 709t39. During the same period
the Great Northern's gross earnings
were 1924, S9S, 1870, its operating ex-
penses were $11S, 1873, 460.59 and it's net
earnings, $116, 704, 933.2O.
Notwithstanding this prosperous con-
dition of affairs the Pacific Coast lines
have not taken care of the interests of
the shippers, probably because they
figure that the lumber is on the ground
and can only be hauled by the Hill and
Hartman lines. Several years ago the
lumbermen of the state of Washington
and Oregon petitioned the railroads for
a reduction in rates of 10 cents per 100
pounds to the Middle West, on the
ground that they were burning up an
nually SO, 900 carloads of lumber in the
woods and at saw mills because Of a
lack of market for cheap lumber. Their
request was refused, notwithstanding
the fact that that the cost of haul is
81, 200.44 per train load and the reve-
nue. at 40 cents per 100 pounds would
be Sc, 100 per train load. This waste of
timber is still going on. During the
past two years, the average time of
movement of a car load of lumber, Pu-
get Sound to st. Paul, was 120 days
and the Pacific Coast lumbermen lost
SIS, 900, 900 in cancellation of orders by
reason of the ineficiency of the rail
roads. In 1905, for instance, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific added
just one locomotive to the equipment
of the two roads, despite the fact that
the earnings were the greatest in their
history.
Now, to make it more difficult to OBJ
tain cheap lumber, Messrs. Hill and
Hartman have announced an increase
in rates of 10 cents per LOO pounds, eff
fective October LIST, which will add to
the cost of lumber just $3.50 per 1000
feet in all the territory east of the
Rocky Mountains, except Nebraska and
Kansas, where the advance will be 5
cents per 100 pounds. or Sligo per 1000
feet. The excuse for holding up the
public is the haul of empty cars. How
untruthful this statement is can be
demonstrated by the fact that the pre-
centage of empty car haul of the Pa
cifc Coast lines is 26 per cent, while
that of the Eastern roads is 32per cent.
Another excuse is the so-called high
prices of lumber, but nothing is said
about the high price of freight. The
cost of lumber under the new rates will
show as follows:
