Senator Borah, in Speech, Pays a
Warm Tribute to Roosevelt and
Taft Who Favored
Such Tax.
CARNEGlE'S TALK
Senator, Speaking of the Steel Kings
Statement That Income Tax Would
Make Perjurers, Declared That MIR.
Carnegie Did not Make the RepubIi-
can Party.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-During a
ate today Mr.. Borah referred to for
mer President Roosevelt as having
shaped the destinies of the Republican
party and said that without his lead
dership the party would have gone
out of business.
He added that without continued
adherence to these principles the par
ty will go out of politics"
"No man." h added, sis politically
so shortsighted or politically blind
as men who thinks the Steamer
Hamburg carried away the policies,
the principles, the public interest that
aroused public conscience and the
public concern which this remarkable
man bequeathed to his countrymen."
This statement was in connection
with a discussion of Mr.. Roosevelt's
suggestion favoring a graduated in"
heritance and graduated income tax.
Mr.. Borah also quoted Mr. Taft's
speech in which he spoke in favor OF
the income tax,
| FDoes the senator believe" Mr..
| Sutherland asked, "that President
Taft believed in the constitutionality
of the income tax LAWN other words
that he believed that the law pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court was in fact constitution
AL"
"I only know what he said to the
American people when he was can
didate for president" responded Mr..
Borah, chat he favored an income
tax which could be drawn to be made
constitutional. I am not willing to
believe that the president believed in
drawing an income tax law applicable
to men toiling in professions and then
| extempting the vast accumulated
wealth of the nation from taxation"
Mr. Borah advocated an income tax
as means of wiping out the treas
ury deficit as we'll as of awakening
public interest in national expendi-
lures, saying that is no more in
quisitorial than the present system
of national taxation.
Referring to Mr. Carnegie's state
ment that an income tax would en-
courage perjury, Mr.. Borah said:
"Mr. Carnegie did not make the Re-
publican party and 1 wish I was just
as sure that the Republican party did
not make Mr.. Carnegie"
Senator Beveridge in colloquy
with Mr.. Borah and Mr.. Clay, said
that he had been inclined to believe
in the constitutionality of the income
tax law, but when the supreme court
decided against it he was not inclined
to set up his opinion against the
court. Mr.. Beveridge said tariff
commission would throw vast
amount of light on these questions.

from the operations of the commodi-
ties clause. This exception was used
as basis Of attack by the railroads
on the law as discriminatory, but JUS
tice White refused to accept that
view. AS enacted, the law did not
apply to the transportation of tim
Der and it is, of course, untouched by
the decision.
Justice Harlan stated that he did not
follow the conclusion in the point
that the law does not prohibit the
railroad ownership of stock in COM
modity-producing companies.
Analyzed, Justice Whites decision
is that congress did not transcend it's
constitutional authority in enacting
the commodities provision, but it was
held that the government construc-
tion of the provision had been entire
ly too comprehensive.
AS construed by the court, the sole
object of the clause is to prevent car
riers from being associated in inter
est with the commodities transported
at the time of the transportation.
Summed up, the act only compels
companies to disassociate themselves
from the products they carry and
the government contention that the
law applies to the ownership of the
stock and prohibits the transporta-
tion of commodities simply because
they have been produced by the rail
road company, is untenable.
The effect of the decision is favor
able 10 the railroads and the govern
nent lost on practically all points ex
cept in the sustaining of the pricci.
pie involved. In holding that con
gress had not gone beyond its author

Senator Piles of Washington Makes
Plea Against Free Lumber in
Discussion of the Tariff
Bill.
FEARS CANADIANS
Because of Employment Of Orientals
Across the Border Canada Could
Supply Lumber at Less Cost Than
Could Men OF WashingtOn.-Free
Lumber Would Stimulate Canada.

WASHINGTON, May "a plea
against free lumber and story Of
Oriental labor figuring in the differ
ence of cost between the two sides of
the Canadian boundary line, was the
substance of a speech made in the
senate today by Senator Piles OF
Washington.
Mr.. Piles cnntended that tariff
sufficient to save the American man
ufacturer the United States market
for his low grade lumber and shin
giles will make it possible for him to
utilize every part of the tree. II this
market were taken possession of by
the Canadian manufacturer, the Ca
madam lumberman, he said, would be
obliged to leave a large percentage
of the tree in the forest, total loss
and constant fire menace to the
standing timber
In Washington, he pointed out, lum-
ber is the principal industry, employ
ing 10000 men with average annual
wages exceeding $6O,OOO,OOO. The
Washington state legislature, COM
mercial bodies, labor unions and
banking interests have urged the re-
tention of the duty on lumber and in
cluded duty on shingles. The differ
ences in the cost of stumpage in Brit
ish Columbia and in Washington, he
said, was about $3.50 per 1000.
While the shingle industry had de-
creased in Washington since 1906 its
increase in British Columbia has beer
phenomenal.
There was, he said material diff
ference in the cost of labor, owing
principally to the use of upward ol
Is per cent of Oriental labor in Brit
ish Columbia. Despite Oriental labor
mills of equal capacity on both sides
of the boundary employ practically
the same number of men. There was
difference of approximately 81 pei
1000 on water freight rates to Cali
fornia ports, as British Columbia car
ship in foreign vessels while Wash
ing must use American bottoms il
the coastwise trade. Logging alsC
costs more on this side, 1,100 miles
of logging railroad being necessary il
Washington.
Free lumber, he said, would stim
ulate the development of Canadian
provinces and be detriment to busi
ness interests of this country. Mr
Piles declared that practically tn
only persons seeking a lumber tariff
reduction are American owners o
timber in Canada and he presente'
an appeal from the Washington For
est Fire association against any re
duction. He exhibited an origina
proposed contract of sale that Ca
madam lumbermen had submitted t
American consumers in which the
stipulate that one-half Of the reduc
ton in duty shall be paid to them.
