VIEWS
Says Removal of Tariff
on Lumber Would Not
Reduce Price

Washington. March IA removal
of the tariff on lumber would neither
reduce the price to the consumer, nor
preserve our forests, according to the
opinion expressed by Clifford Pinchot,
chief OF the United States forest ger
vice in a letter to Bcrano E. Payne,
chairman OF the house ways and
means committee, made public TO-
night.
Mr.. Pinchot holds that the funda-
mental question is forest conservation.
There Is only one way TO save our
forests" he said "That Is to see that
they are kept at work growing new
crops Of timber as the old are cut
away"
Mr.. Plnchot says that most of the
lumber we now import comes from
Canada as most of 1t would If the duty
were taken off We are now import.
ing from Canada only about per cent
as much lumber as We are cutting
from our own forests, 1t is not likely
that under free lumber. more than
per cent as much would come from
Canada as We would cut at home.
Canada, as compared with the United
u
Her total amount of standing timber
is probably not more than one-third of
what is the amount of ours. In the
end, the Canadians Will undoubtedly
require for home use all the timber
they can produce. Imports from Can
ada therefore would not be enough to
eliminate the cutting OF our forests OF
to reduce the price OF lumber In any
important degree
The waste In logging according to
Mr.. Plnchot. Is already enormous, be-
ing several times larger than our I'm
portation from Canada.
The chief forester thinks IL highly
important that we should have free
pulp wood In the future as In the past,
and that Canada should impose no eX-
port duty upon pulp wood. In this-re'
spect. he continues: "The pulp and
paper making industry Is In a different
position from the other great wood
using industries of the United States.
The latter can he supplied wholly from
our own forests, while the former
must have free access 10 the Canadian
chief pulp wood"

should bet admitted free, provided It
comes from a country which does not
In any way restrict the expectation OF
! wood pulp OF ground wood. and that
there should be reduction In the duty
on news paper providing that it comes
from country which does not In any
way restrict the expectation of pulp
wood, wood pulp or printing paper"
Mr.. Pinchot places the first duty for
conserving the forests upon the lum-
bermen themselves, saying:
'If the lumbermen do not make the
, most of this opportunity. legislation is
coming and coming very soon, which
will force them to do clean work in
the woods and to leave their cut-over
lands In a condition to produce a sec.

SEWAGE PROBLEM DEMANDS
AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION

New York, March 12-Shad fisher
les are decreasing SO rapidly that
they will soon die out II the sewage
problem is not dealt with al once, ac-
cording to Charles H. Robinson. d.
rector Of the New York aquarium. In
an address last night at the American
Museum OF Natural History. he said:
THE sewage in our rivers, harbors
and lakes Is serious menace not only
to health but to the preservation or
our fisheries. The shad fisheries, tho
oyster beds and the aQuariums are
all harmed by the excessive sewage
in New York harbor In Worcester,
the cloth industry was practically
eliminated through the same cause.
Lowell and Plttsburg have had fatal
and costly epidemics of typhoid from
the same reason. Seven hundred miles
OF the Ohio are polluted by OPEN sew

ernnent should do Is to protect health
and property from this danger. There
is no legal Justification for the pol

TO STUDY
TARIFF
BILL
Republican Senators of
the Finance Com
mittee Interested

Washington, March 12.-The Repub-
lican senators of the committee on
finance will begin systematic study
OF the new tariff bill as soon as copies
are obtained. They feel the import
ance of pressing the measure TO a
speedy termination, and Senator AID
has said that he would make an effort
to have the bill reported as soon as
possible after its passage by the
house. 1t is considered that many
changes will be made in the senate
and that most Of them will be sug-
gested by the finance committee. In
the senate the smaller states have a
greater proportionate representation
than in the house, and IL the bill as
II comes from the house, should fail
to give what is considered adequate
protection to some of their industries.
there would undoubtedly be strenu-
GUS effort by the senators from those
states to restore the desired eQuili-
brium. The thinly populated states of
the west are especially interested In
the protection Of WOOL hides. fruits,
lead, ore, copper. etc, and will un-
questionably resist any effort to dis
crimlnate against them, and they
would regard as such effort the plac-
ing of these articles on the free list.
While Senator Aldrich's hope Is to
have the bill In shape to be reported
as soon as IL comes from the house.
much will depend upon the character
of the house measure and the jisposi-
ton of the members OF the finance
committee Unquestionably. the con-
trolling desire in the senate will be
to make the bill a distinctive pro-
tective measure. and 1t is not believed
that the Republican senators will per-
NIT even their desire for haste 20
cause them to sacrifice this feature OF
