sive plan in aid Of the unemployed is

LUMBER UP AT
TARIFF HEARING
Proposition Submitted for an
Enormous ExtentlOn
FOREST RESERVE SYSTEM
-
Duty Likely to Remain out-Majority Of
Ways and Means Committee Said
to Be Against Repeal
FOREST RESERVE SYSTEM

Washington. Nov. 2i.-The battle
over the repeal Of the lumber duty be,
gan yesterday before the ways and
means committee, and in this connec-
ton remarkable proposition has been
prepared for submission TO the commit
tee by c. w. Nibley Of la Grande, Ore.
representing great western lumber in
terests, including those Of the Mormon
church II Is that the tariff be LET
alone, but that the government condemn
and bDy all cut over timber lands. sub.
Jet them 10 scientific reforeetation, in
the mean time leasing such as are fit
for grazing to sheepmen at a rate that
will pay the interest on the purchase
price. II amounts to an enormous ex-
tension of the forest reserve system,
and would result ultimately In the gov
eminent having monopoly Of the tim
Der lands. Mr.. Nibley's proposal is ex-
citing much attention.
Strong resistance TO the repeal Of the
lumber duty has been aroused among
the lumber men. They are making a
etif organized fight against such re-
peal, and it seems certain that unless
Mr.. Taft makes struggle for IL the
duty will be kept on. In fact, it is as.
serted the majority Of the committee
Is disposed to keep the duty on.
The hearing yesterday opened with
the appearance Of Theodore NJ KNAPP.
pan Of Minneapolis, Of the National
Forest Conservation league, who spoke
for the repeal Of the humber tariff.
Along with Mr.. Knappan urging repeal
Of the duty were Arthur Rogers, NJ. j.
Seaman Of Minneapolis. and +. n.
Lynch Of ST. Paul, who was manager
for Governor Johnson's presidential
nomination campaign.
Mr.. Knappan's argument for repeal
Of duty was based on the idea that IL
was necessary to conserve the forests
He showed that the white pine indus
try was declining greatly, and that the
annual cut Of hard pine was declining.
He asserted the United States had al
ready crossed the verge OF a timber
famine" and that the beginning Of high
lumber prices had come, with yet more
rapid rise In prices to follow.
Summed up. Mr. Knappan's argu-
ment was that 20 take of the lumber
tariff would not hurt labor, would not
hurt the manufacturers, would benefit
the consumer. and would take the pres
sure of the forests of this country to
some extent
