OVER ZINC
SETTLED
COMMITTEE DECIDES TO RE-
DRAFT PARAGRAPH ON DUTIES
Be DutiabIe According to Amount
OF Zinc Contained.

B Washington, May 1S.-After consid.
ering for nearly three weeks the con-
troversy between zinc producers and
smelterS. the senate committee on
finance today decided to redraft the
two paragraphs of the tariff bill con-
cerning duties on zinc ore and pig
zinc. Amendments were completed
which will be introduced in the SEN
ate by Mr. Smoot.
Instead OF making zinc ore and cal
amino dutiable at one cent per pound
on the zinc contained therein. the
different qualities OF ore, according to
the amount Of zinc they contain arc
assessed proportionately. Zinc bear
Ing ore containing loss than 20 per
cent of zinc is made dutiable at one
quarter of cent pound on the zinc
1t contains; containing more than 20
and less than 30 per cent of zinc, one
half cent; between Is per cent and
80 per cent. three-quarters of cent,
and more than 30 per cent OF zinc, one
cent per pound. This amendment pro-
poses considerable reduction over the
rate as established by the house and
reported originally from the senate
finance committee. The rate on zinc
in blocks or pigs is increased from one
cent to one and onethird cents a
pound. The rate on zinc In sheets is
increased from one and one-fourth
cents to one and one-half cents. and
IN sheets coated OF plated with nickel
or other metal or solution. from one
and one-half cents to ono and three
fourths cents. No change is made on
old and worn-out zinc fit only ot be
re-manufactured which is made duti.
able at one cent per pound.
Senator Smoot will introduce an
amendment which has the endorse
ment of the committee. re-drafting the
paragraph relating TO cement. r.
makes no changes In the rate of 20
cents per ton on crude plaster rock or
gypsum. or the rates on ground or
calcing gypsum or pearl hardening.

S[',.Y|CF TO GIVE
FOREST FIRE
DATA
INVITES COOPERATION OF STATE
CONSERVATION OFFICERS.
Last Fall Forest Service Attempted to
Collect From Washington Office
Data Upon Forest Fires.

l. That the country may have the most
| complete compilation Of data on for
est fires the forest service has invit-
ed the cooperation of the members
of the state conservation and forest
Ilcommissions with forest officers, and
in a letter TO the district forester in
this city concerning this years work
In his district Forester Pinchot says:
Last fall the forest service at
tempted to collect from the Washing
ton office data upon forest fires
throughout the United States. We got
excellent reports from a few states.
but no information whatever from
many of them. This was due, In some
cases, to the failure of the proper Of
ficers to make careful reports and in
other cases to the utter lack of any
state organization to handle forest
fires and the complete absence OF any
record of them.
THE fire problem IS such a funda-
mental one that the service desires to
get as complete a statement as pos
sible this coming season and we feel
that time and money are we'll spent
for this purpose The best results
doubtless will be secured by localiz
Ing the work as far as possible and
making a large number OF officers
and organizations each responsible for
reports upon small territory.
There are now conservation COM
missions in theirty- eight states and
territories. These commissions are
anxious to promote forest conserya
tion in any way they can and in the
states which do not contain national
forests We will take up the matter OF
fire record with them. In national
forest states better results Will,
think, be secured IL the district for
esters gather data from every possible
source and also cooperate with the
state conservation commissions.
Il shall therefore ask your district
to take the responsibility for the com
pilation of as complete record as
possible of all forest fires during the
coming season, both on and off the
national forests. in Utah and Nevada,
and in Idaho and Wyoming so far as
they lie within your district.
This record should be comparable
with the one made solely for the ma
tional forests, and | suggest that 1t
follow the same lines. 1t should. if
possible, be compiled by counties.
Some assistance can undoubtedly be
secured from county clerks, county
surveyors or other county officers,
Wherever there are local fire wardens
reports should be secured from them.
1T will be we'll for you TO work out
n definite plan of action with the
conservation commission early In the
season. In the case OF Utah, and to ask
this commission to do as much work
as 1t can. The Importance OF getting
the machinery started for securing the
desired information before the fire
season starts Will. 1 know, be realized
by you.

BiIly's Latest Gift to the Republic

The Honorable Billy Lorimer, of the Chicago
stock yard district, having elevated himself to the
honored United States Senate, has nominated to the
vacancy thus created in the house of representa-
tives the Honorable Mr.. Monkey of the honorable
butterine business.
Monkey and Billy were first thrown together
when driving street in the pre-Yerkes of
Chicago's growth. While prodding nags up and
down Blue Island avenue, swapping runs and
comparing tastes to the relative merits of Climax
and Battle AK, personal friendship deeply
founded AS consequence of that personal friend
ship the United States is to enjoy the services,
of the makers of it's laws and of the sovers
of the great social problems which press you and
us, of an excellent maker of imitation butter.
The consequences of this close connection be-
tween Billy and Monkey have been evident before
1t Billy who headed that futile fight against the
law to color and tax all imitation butter 1t
Billy who opposed the date on all cans. 1t was Billy
who tried to head off the cattle shipping set-the
act to compel the watering and feeding of the ami
mails on their way to market 1t Billy who tried
to kill the June food law and who opposed the rate
law and other Roosevelt policies Finally it Bill
ly who FASTENED on to Washington at the behest of
Nelson w. Aldrich, to givehs sanction and his vote
to the recent tariff act
But we dgress. The record of ''Our Billy pro-
vokes to unnecessary length. The chief point was
to imitation butter and the influence of the beef
trust on our national affairs.
Billy's old friend Moxley! Endorsed by dear old
Billy. We wonder now how he would vote if it were
law to curb the packing trust regulate the
frigerating lines? We wonder where the peo-
