JOKER IS DISCOVERED
IN LUMBER SCHEDULE
Much Has Been Said in Senate About Duty on Rough
Timber to Keep Mind of Public From Tariff
on Finished Product

Der which the Payne bill and the
Aldrfch bill impose, but there has, until
now, been silence on the subject of fin
ished lumber. Senators Nelson, Nc
Cumber, and other apostles of free lum-
Der take the position that rough lum-
Der Is far more expensive than finished
lumber, since II costs stiUre to transport
the rough lumber They point out that,
as a matter of fact, rough lumber Is
not transported in any quantity nor
used in any considerable quantity.
whereas finished lumber IS. The i'm
portant thing for the lumber interests,
therefore, is to keep a high duty on
finished lumber, and this Is what they
have succeeded in doing ~ TO date,
though there has been a great outcry
on the subject of rough lumber.
Another feature Of the lumber sched-
ule that is beginning TO attract notice
ls thdt a distinction of 30 cents per
thousand is made in favor Of lumber
planed on two sides as against that
planed on one side. Nov, It is charged
that as matter Of fact with the mod
ern planning machinery II makes no diff
ference whatever In c0st whether a
board IS planed on one side or on both.

Flgures are given by me advocates OF
rree lumber TO show that rough lumber
actually costs more laid 1own at the
same place after shipment then finished
lumber does. and that a cut Of 81 per
thousand in the duty on rouSl, lumber
Will AFFORD no relief whate.ea to the
man who must use finished lumber,
which is what nearly everyone has to
use in building.
It Is likely there will be a sharp con-
troVersy over this feature of the ium-
Der schedule before that schedule Is
nnaIly threshed out IN the Senate.
The Washington times., 1909-04-30

That the lumber schedule contains one
of the chief jol1ers of the tariff bill is
the assertion now being freely made by
Senators and Representatives who are
in favor OF free lumber or lower lumber
duties.
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota dwelt
upon il in the course of his address in
favor of free lumber. Senator McCum-
Der and other believers in free lumber
feel the same way about IL as Senator
Nelson.
In substance. It is declared the high
tariff lumber people have been kicking
up a great dust over the reduction made
in the duty on rough lumber, from 81
to 81, for the purpose Of distracting at
tention from the much more Important
question of the duty on finished lumber.
The tariff bill as Il now stands imposes
a duty of 81 per thousand on rough lum-
Der and additional duties on pIaned and
finished lumber. This ranges from 80
cents to $1-50 per thousand additional
Now II is maintained that no relief
can be afforded TO consumers. such as
far ners and others who use lumber, so
long rs the duty on finished lumber is
kept well up and that the lumbermen
really do not care about having the
duty on rough lumber cut so long as
they can prevent reductions in the ad-
ditionaI duties imposed on finished lun-
Der.
Consequently a vase deal has been
heard about the 81 duty on rough lum-

superb music throughout the evening.
