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.

That the lumber schedule contains one
of the chief Jokers OF the tariff bill is
the assertion now being freely made ry
Senators and Representatives who a e
in favor OK free lumber or lower lumber
duties.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota dwelt
upon II in the course of his address in
favor of free lumber. Senator McCum-
Der and other believers in free lumber
feel the same wsy about 1t as Senator
Nelson
In substance. f. is declared the high
tariff lumber people have been kicking
up a great dust over the reduction made
In the duty IL 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 it now stands imposes
duty OF 81 per thousand on ough lum-
Der and additional duties on planed and
finished lumber. This ranges from 30
cents to 31-50 per thousand additional
Now II is maintained that no relief
can be afforded 10 consumers, such as
farmers and others who use lumber, so
long as 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
ditional duties imposed on finished lum-
Der.
Consequently a vase deal has been
heard about the 81 duty on rough lum-
The Washington times., 1909-04-30

ber which the Payne bin and the
Aldrtch bill impose, but there has, until
now, been silence on the subject Of fin~
ished lumber. Senators Nelson, Nc
Cumber, ana other apostles of free ium-
Der take the position that rough lum-
Der is far more expensive than finished
lumber, since 1t costs lIIUre to transport
the rough lumber. They point out that,
as 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
nave succeeded In doing up 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
IS that distinction Of 80 cents per
thousand Is made In favor of lumber
planed on two sides as against that
pianed on one side Now, II Is charged
that as matter OF fact with the mod
ference whatever In cost whether
board is planed on one side or on both,
as II Is a single operation.
Figures are given by tiie advocates Of
free lumber TO show that rough lumber
actually casts more laid down at the
same place after shipment than finished
lumber does, and that cut of 81 per
viii AFFORD no relief whatever to the
man who must use finished lumber,
which Is what nearly everyone has to
use in building.
1t is likely there will be a sharp con-
troversy over this feature of the ium-
Der schedule before that schedule Is
hnaIiy uireshed out in the Senate.

A program Of light and familiar num-
bers, interspersed with songs Of their
native land, was given by the Con-
stabulary Band of the Philippines yes
ter5ay afternoon in the Belasco Thea
ter under the direction of Capt Walter
Loving.
The work Of the band is interesting
in the extreme at all times, for the lit
tie brown men from the far-off islands
are musicians. They are more, for un-
der the direction of their American
leader they present many familiar
writings In an entirely new guise, and
these, more than anything else. com
manded attention at this concert.
The Scharwenka Polish Dance No.
is a composition rarely to be found on
band or orchestral program, but II
is one Of the favorites of the Ftlpinos.
Tue number is exceedingly distinctive
in itself, but was made materially more
so under the baton OF Captain Loving
Its second movement was in great
contrast to the savagery Of its initial
drawing and again TO the third ripping
theme.
"Sons of the Philippines"
Escamilla's Sons of the Philippines

Dance of the Serpents, by Boccalsri,
a fantastic and distinctive composition.
