The young people eloped last Mon
day and were married in Colon, as
already told in the World. After a
brief honeymoon, they have returned
to Panama, the bridegroom at once
resuming his official duties.
Guyant is the youngest man of his
grade in the consular service, being
but twenty-three. He is a native of
decatur ILL.,, and went originally to
Panama as a clerk and stenosrapher
for the Isthmian canal commission, in
1906. He was transferred to the CON
sulate in 1908 as clerk and promoted
to his present post last March. The
post of vice and deputy consul gen
eral to Panama carries with it no
salary, but Guyant is on the payroll
Of the State Department as a clerk

ly white pine has also been superseded
by Douglas fir, so that now it occupies
third place.
Washington has been the principal
single producing state since the use
OF red cedar shingles became general,
and it supplied three fifths of the total
output of shingles last year. Among
the other shingle producing states.
Michigan, Louisiana. Maine and Cali
fornia were the most important. The
shingles cut in Michigan and Maine
are chiefly of white cedar, those in
Louisiana or cypress, and those in Cal
ifornia of redwood. Lath are generally
by product of lumber manufacture,
and are made to some extent from al
most every wood that is cut into lum-
Der. Among the kinds of lath which
are most prominent are white pine,
Douglas fir, spruce, yellow pine, sy-
press and hemlock.

THE GERMAN
NORWEGIAN
Berlin Manufacturer Says That
He Is Better Off Than His
Brother American.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The World
has the following dispatch from Ber
lin:
The tariff situation at Washington
is being watched with the keenest in
terest here. The. World today OBJ
tanned views on the subject held by
the chairman Of the Berlin Manufac.
turers' Guild, the most representative
and influential authority in Germany.
Don't forget our adage: Soup is
drunk much cooler than it is cooked,
he said. THAT which looks threaten
ing now will at close quarters lose
much of it's ugliness. What Ameri-
cans do not or cannot make we will
send to you, despite any tariff If it's
revenue that America wants she is
going the wrong way about 1t. Our
chemicals, woollens, gloves, musical
instruments, toys, cheap ornaments,
jewelry, cheap colored plates and such
ware cannot be manufactured i'll
America within the present genera
ton. You will hit us, but you are I'M
wise in thinking that We cannot hit
you; but it is certain that it will not
come to that Things will be regu'
lated by the wisdom of your and our
statesmen.
"The indignation Of Senators De
pew and Aldrich over the low wages
paid by German employers is wasted
for our workmen, with state insurance
against old age, accident and sick
ness and a host of other social advan
tages, are far better off really thar
are American workingmen with higl
wages.
1--WE do not fear the new tariff, be
cause the countries are needful to eacl
other and must live in commercial
peace"

WASHINGTON, June 21.-During
the year 1908, 1921 sawmills in the
United States manufactured 33,2S9;
100000 feet of lumber according to a
preliminary report just issued by the
Bureau of the Census. These mills
also cut 12,1O6,4S5,OO0 shingles and q
9S6,6S4,00 laths. Lumber manufacture
ing like every other industry, felt the
effects of the business depression
which began in October, 1907. Conse-
quently the production in 1908 was be-
low that for the previous year. In
1907 the cut of 2S,S5O sawmills was
40, 256, 154,OO feet, the highest produc-
ton ever recorded. Notwithstanding,
therefore, that in 1903 reports were
received from eight per cent more
mills than in 1907, the decrease in
lumber cut reported by them was
slightly over seventeen per cent.
Washington, as for several years
past, still ranks first among the states
in lumber production, its cut in 1908
being 2,915,92S,00 feet--a decrease of
22.S per cent over the cut in 1907.
Nearly all the lumber manufactured
in Washington is Douglas fir, the
market for which was seriously affect
ed by the panic. Louisiana ranks
second, with 1922, 421 900 feet, a de-
crease of 25O,OOO,OOO feet or S.4 per
cent over the cut in 1907. Louisiana is
first in the production of both yellow
pine and cypress. Cypress is a par
| ticularly useful and valuable wood,
and apparently, the manufacturers of
! it did net suffer as severity from dull
times as did the manufacturers of vel
low pine and Douglas fir, Mississippi
was the third state in lumber produc-
ton in 1908, with total of 1,S61,'
! 016,000 feet-a decrease of eleven pei
cent from the cut in 1907. Arkansas
ranked fourth, with 1,656,99100 feet
aSdecrease of nearly seventeen pei
cefA over the previous years output
and Wisconsin fifth, with 1913 ,315,00(
feet against 2,OO3,279, 900 feet in 1907
In Texas, where the lumber industr.
is confined almost exclusively to vel
low pine, the falling off was yer
heavy. The total cut of the state il
1908 was ,524 ,0OS,OO0 feet-a decreas
of 31.6 per cent over the cut in 1907
Eight other states manufactured NOR
than one billion feet each of lumbe
last year. In the order of importanc
they were: Michigan, Oregon, Mime

THE Timber CUT OF THE
United STATES IN 1908

sofa, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alabama,
North Carolina, and West Virginis.
California and Maine, other states
which reported more than one billion
feet each in 1907, went just below that
figure in 1908. The totals for few
states were greater in 1908 than in
1907, but this was chiefly due to the
larger number of reports secured in
those states in 1908. In Georgia, for
instance a particularly close canvass
increased the number of mills report
ing nearly one-third, while the result
ing increase in reports Of total produc-
ton was only six per cent. In Massa-
chusetts, 610 mills reported a cut of
3S4 $4,000 feet in 1908 as compared
with a cut of 64,231,OO0 feet by SIS
mills in 1907. In Colorado, 254 mills
cut 1S2,036,O0O feet in 1908, while in
1907 23O mills cut 1929, 600 feet. A
particularly large gain in mills report
ing was made in oklahoma. In 1867
1913 mills in that state cut 140,015,000
feet. while in 1908, pa mills cut 49,
756,000 feet.
While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States, the
small mills far outnumber the large
ones, and it is particularly interesting
to note how many Of these small
mills there are in the states which are
not now of first rank in lumber pro-
duction. The statistics for New York
were collected by the Forest, Fish and
Game Commission of that state, which
| secured reports from 2,291 mills. In
Pennsylvania 1924 mills reported to
the Census, and in Virginia, 1887
mills. In North Carolina reports came
from lao mills, and in Kentucky
from $50 mills. The number of mills
! reporting from Tennessee was only
forty less than from Kentucky. In
West Virginia, Georgia. Missouri, Ohio
and Indiana between 1000 and 1,10C
mills each were engaged in cutting
lumber last year. The average out
put per mill was 100000 feet in New
York and 100000 feet in Louisiana
These two states presenting nearl!

, and large mills.

WHAT THE Income TAX
PLAN IS EXPECTED TO Do

NEW YORK, June 21.-The World |
has the following on what President
Taft hopes to accomplish by his in
come tax recommendation:
President Taft expects to accom-
plish by his recommendation for tax
on the net income of corporations and
his recommendation for constitu-
tional amendment, allowing an income
tax for purposes, which otherwise
would have to be put through Congress
by separate bills with fight on each.
These are:
l.. Revenue for the government
amounting to $50,000,000 year.
2. Supervision of corporations, in
asmuch as it will be necessary for the
government to go over all the books
of each corporation to know what the
net income really is. This will give
the government a behind-the-scenes in
sight into the methods of each cor
poration examined.
3. Encouragement of OVERCOMING
of corporations. This was one of thu
points made in the speech of accept
ance of Mr.. Taft, and he intimatet
that special legislation would be neces
sary to accomplish it. But under tn
bill to be introduced to tax the ne
incomes of corporations the practic
of bonding a corporation to its ful
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-06-21

value will become so dangerous that
many of the bonds now held will be
reconverted to stocks, that the bond
holders may maintain active control
of the corporation.
This is because the value of the
bond is based on the prosperity of the
corporation, and it is the idea of the
government that the law will not only
prevent overbonding, but the watering
of stock, as the waterers have, as a
rule, found their refuge in bonds. AS
one member of the administration ex
planned today, a bond is nothing more
than a note.
The note is all right as long as the
giver of the note is solvent, but be-
comes worthless when the signer be
comes insolvent. So bond is good as
long as the corporation is good, but
| becomes of no value when the corpor
alton fails.
In other words, the new law is ex
pected to discourage the milking O.
corporations by the men who, whil'
posing as creditors, really are tn
corporation.
4. The administration has not
doubt that the income tax amendmen
will be accepted by three-fourths o
, the states, and that the income Ia
| will be a reality within tire years.
