SAYS LUMBER INDUSTRY
is TREATED UNFAIRLY

Seattle, July S0.-Edward Hines,
of Chicago, the newly elected presi-
dent of the National Lumber manu-
facturers' association. just returned
from Alaska. said: "The lumber in
dustry is treated unfairly by congress
leaders by rejecting the senate tar
iff rate of $3.50, and substituting
s1.25 for rough lumber. If all indus
tries are forced to stand proportion
ate cuts the party pledge would have
been kept. but as it stands the lum-
Der industry has been sacrificed and
singled out and made the center OF
attack from the start" He said the
result would be greatly increased ship
ments from Canada.

PLANNING TO LOCATE
BIG COLONY IN UNION

Union.-General Manager R. H.
England of the Central Railroad Of
Oregon, is in correspondence with a
prominent, st. Paul real estate COM
pany. who are in the market for
from 10000 to 100000 acres of land
in this section.
This company, which is capitalized
at $1,500,000 has been making a spe-
cialty of buying large tracts of both
improved and undeveloped lands and
selling them out again in smaller
tracts under the colonization plan, and
have a system that has proved very
successful.
Could they secure lands here it
would be a great boon to this section,
and would mean a largely increased
population in a short time and would
give this locality a great deal of ad-
vertising which would shortly bring
good results.

the tariff bill this afternoon charge
that the rates average from one to
three per cent higher than the Dingley

the previous situation.

change in the wording of the section
would obviate possibility of trouble.
The offices that have been exempted

that score, no misunderstanding. If
each Office not exempted was likewise
mentioned there would be no room for
controversy or pretext for candidate

Four.Year Term

1t is to be hoped that the General
Assembly of Tennessee will devote a
part of its energies to the constitutional
amendment which proposes a four-year
term for Governor instead of two. In
cluded in this should also be the two
year county offices and the election
should take place simultaneously with
national elections. In other words, we
should have a respite of four years be-
tween political campaigns. As it is
now, we have elections of some kind
every year, and business of every kind
is more or less Handicapped on account
of it, enterprise is paralyzed and social
ethics are greatly disturbed.
While there may be some argument
in favor of short terms, the reasons for
four-year terms are multitudinous and
many of them of sufficient importance
alone. In all the States there is ten
dency toward the four-year terms. In
the Southern States where new consti-
buttons have been adopted the four-year
term prevails. Governors now hold term
for four years in Alabama. Arkansas,
California, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Wash
ington, West Virginia and Wyoming,
If Congress would also pass a consti-
tutional amendment making the term
of Congressman four years instead of
two the benefits would be equally advan-
tageus. The advantages to members

The Lake.

Representative McDade, of the Reel
foot Lake investigation commission, in
forms us that the West Tennessee Land
Company has never offered to sell the
Reelfoot Lake land at all; that the com
pany offered to sell only the hunting
and fishing privileges, including the lake
and abutments. In that case the COM
pany is practically seeking to transfer
the royalties account from the hunters
and fishermen to the State, PROPOSE
ton which is very problematical.
We do not take much to the theory
that Reelfoot Lake is navigable. There
must be some commercial value in nav
igation, and in its present shape the
plying of water crafts on Reelfoot Lake
could hardly be made profitable The
cost of dredging and preparing for navi-
CATION would be out of the question.
Hence to set up the claim that the lake
is navigable, therefore not subject to
private ownership, is in all probability
not tenabIe
The way it occurs to us is that the
lake is subject to private ownership, but
that the titles are not as clear and well
established as they should be. We be-
lieve the courts have decided with the
best authority they have, but that the
titles have not been as thoroughly in
yestigated as they should be; either this
or they are not susceptible of accurate
tracing.
We are taking a disinterested view of
the matter wholly, and in view of these
facts and those which were brought out
in the Nightrider troubles, menacing
the peace and actually demoralizing the
social and business relations of the
county, there should be in the wisdom
and fairness of the land company a
sense of obligation to their neighbors
and to the public, all of whom are mu-
tually interested to certain degree,
prompting them to dispose of these
holdings for a reasonable sum.
We believe the land company should
be willing to sell this property to the
State, and we are positively sure that
the State would make no mistake in
buying, even at the figures named as a
price of the hunting and fishing rights.
The offer to sell these rights is very
indefinite, and the question of buying
them has never been considered by the
people or the General Assembly.
