tariff.
II. Il Tiff, OF TiHop. Ga. was before
the committee. insisting that the re-

wreck the lumber business in this
country.
Why are you people from the South
always here asking for the very high

whole United States that is asking for
so high n rate of duty as the South.

'I didn't vote that wa myself" said
Mr.. Tiff. The record shows that Mr..
Taft got over l0O00 votes in Georgia"

He should have had an overwhelm-

Judging from the attitude Of you peo-
pie on constantly asking high rates OF
duty"

in Georgia. said Mr.. Tiff The people
Of the South have 20 be educated"
Today's hearings were significant in
that Chairman Payne made IL quite
clear that he had no sympathy with the
idea OF a tariff on lumber His attti-
tude toward Mir. Tiff indicated this.
Representative Fordley Of Michigan
wanted to know II the high price OF
lumber IN the country is not due 10 the
fact that the Government has such
large areas in forest reserves.
IF the lumber in the forest reserves
was thrown on 10 the market" he asked,
wouldn't il tend to reduce the price Of
the sJUmpage2

a reduction. Nr- FOrdney, VINO Is a

the Government was getting s. a

highest price known anywhere in the
country
Sees No Good IN Change.
Mr. Tiff, in response 10 questions from
Nj Fordrey. said he doubted If the
consumer would be benefited By the
removal OF the duty on lumber. and said
the removal OF the tariff would not
conserve the forests because IL would
destroy the market for the low grade
