| thereto, and especially incident to the
wasteful destruction of hundreds of
thousands of acres of timber annual
ly, is in my judgment, due largely to
| the perniciousl effect of that class of
legislation which, by it's application,
| has placed an absolute prohibition
| on every form of agreement looking
| to conservation has placed a ban
upon all meetings and discussions
| having for their object the adoption
of the most sa1utary measures for the
preservation of this natural resources,
and the instant and unfair denuncia-
ton of every meeting of the so-called
lumber trust" which does not and
never did exist; has produced such a
condition of mind along lumbermen
that they feel that they can no longer
meet together for the general discus
sion of matters SO vitality affecting
their interests and the welfare of this
nation without Subjecting themselves
to the humiliation of a prosecution
This condition in the lumber BUSH
ness has led to the reduction of the
wage scale of hundreds Of thousands
of men, affecting many millions of
people, has left twenty per cent of
the timber in the forest to waste, and
unless we have relief, these evils will
increase and others will follow In
their wake.
Commercial Nightmare.
Attempts at compulsory compete
ton is our present commercial night
mare. Such competition is not
healthy, but disastrous and serves
only, in the end, to create the most
pernicious monopoly by destroying all
cOmpetition-it means the survival OF
the strongest and not the attest"
1t is not sufficient for all that our
resources should be conserved and
saved for all generations; is 1t right
or just that a great industry should
suffer, and generations to live here
a Sr1Y
ply of lumber, in order that a pre-
judice be indicated, and the con-
sumner of today buy his lumber at less
than cost?
And in this connection, it may be
well to say that a reduction Of our
tariff on lumber would at once bring
US into direct and disastrous competi-
ton with lumber from Canada, where
stumpage is cheaper and wages
lower, and where the consequent ten
tates corresponding disregard on our
part. Waste is loss and adds nothing
to consumption. We want greater
consumption, and. we should conserve
and reproduce, not waste.
The part played by the United
States steel corporation since its
organization, in the maintenance of
staple prices, while obtaining a profit
and not improperly using its power,
is most substantial demonstration
of the salutary effect of concentrated
control of any commodity in the in
terest of the uniform prices and con-
servatism, without inquiry to the con-
sumner, or harm to anyone.
The American people have common
sense are patriotic and fair. and
full understanding of the real condi-
tons confronting us, will appeal to
their good sense and sentiment. and
they will support any measure Of true
relief.

Reading in the open market. The
stock sold realized trifie below ITO
and cost the company around 80.
The story of the Lake Shores sales
of Reading have been supplemented by
statements that the First National
bank of New York party had taken
over a very large line of Reading. On
the other hand, it was reported that
Hartman interests had been the
chief purchasers.
These and previous sales of secu-
rites by the Vanderbilt roads mark
in the first place a new method of fin
ancing the current depression, and in
the second place the gradual decline

Shores Reading stock follows sim
liar sale of holdings of the Lehigh
Valley by the Lake Shore railroad.
The purchasers of the latter. it is re-
ported. are the same who purchased
large holdings of Lehigh for the Erie
at an average of $50 (per share) a
short time ago. The Lake Shore in
1901 purchased s3,20O.0O0 of Lehigh

CHEAP LUMBER.
Incompatible With Preservation O
Forests, Says II. A. Long.


Washington. May 14.-At the con-
Kansas City, spoke of The Conserva-
ton and Perpetuation of the Forests"
He said in part:
I want to give especial emphasis to
the statement that conservation and
perpetuation of our forests and I'M
remunerative prices for lumber cannot
travel the same road, for conservation
means to handle, to treat, to take care
of, and save in such manner as to re-
tain the use or benefit of given
product as long as possible. Perpetual
ton of forests means to so exploit the
forests as to make them continuous
and perpetual which can only be done
by spending money continuously in
planting, seeding. protecting, ETC.,
while low prices of any commodity
not be more forcibly illustrated than
by the conditions existing today, as
applied to lumber; on account of the
low prices now prevailing, the logs
making low grade lumber, secured
principally from that portion of the
stituting at least 20 per cent of the for
ests, was left in the woods to rot or
burned, because the lunlberman would
no more think Of using the raw ma
terial out OF which he could not obtain
cost, than the farmer would harvest a
crop of faulty corn out of which he
could not obtain the cost of gather
ing
This leaving of 20 per cent of our logs
in the woods, as applied to the yellow
pine industry alone.-if we market as
much lumber this year as last, means
that we will have wasted over 100000
acres of forest land, and so. in order
that the product of these low grade
logs may take their place in the lum-
Der supply of the world. and our tim
Der saved or conserved, the manufac-
turer must at least have cost for his
low grade lumber, which means a COM
paratively better price for the better
grade; and this need not necessarily
mean high priced lumber, but the price
must be removed materially from the
, prices now prevailing. and such as we
touch periodically. even in normally
rood times, for lumber is like every
other Observation-Disclosures by supply
and demand, and II we build mills
with suff1cient capacity to supply the
demand Of the country in times of ex-
treme activity, such as we had In lS0t
/ and the first two-thirds Of 1907. We VII
have capacity beyond our requirements
in normal times, and under such con-
| difions. down go the prices.
