The Evil Lumber Trust.

Editor National Trfhnne siYou call for
postal card expressions of your readers
on the coming revision of the tariff.
Please consider this my postal card:
1. ''Shan the tarIr schedule be re-
vised ?" Yes. sr
2. IF revised, what revisions are
needed % First, place all lumber on
the free list.
8. What duty seems too high III your
locality?" Lumber; the most obnox-
ious and against the interest Of nearly
every citizen of the State, except lum-
bermen and the owners of pine land,
who have corralled nearly every acre of
pine-producing land. who have an or
ganiZed trust, which owns nearly every
lumber-selling yard in the State and
fixes the price at which every agent
must sell. The Lumber Trust of Mime
sofa Is by far the greatest menace to
the people and industries of all other
combinations and trusts in existence. 1t
Is often asked why the so-calleI Trust
Buster of Minnesota and the Govern
ment do not turn a part Of their at
tention to the Lumber Trust of Minne-
sofa, instead of the so-called Oil Trust
of New Jersey. While one has reduced
the price of oil SO per cent. the Lumber
Trust has raised the price of lumber
more than 100 per cent. Lumber Is
used and is necessary to more indus
tries and the building UP of more
homes than any other commodity; hence
the high price caused by this combina-
ton of lumber men is a great detri-
ment to nearly every industry as well
as trade.
I can think of no industry that de-
serves more encouragement than the
beet-sugar industry; but think of no
way of doing SO but for the Govern
ment to pay a bounty as an encourage
ment.-A. II. Reed. Glencoe. MINI.

The Source of wealth.

Editor National Tribune: AS you have
requested opinion in regard to the tariff
take the liberty to express a thoi
or two. All wealth emanates from the
forest. field and mine. All taxes are
paid from those natural resources. One
portion of the people creates the raw
material from those natural resources.
another portion manufactures the raw
material into articles required by the
whole people. another portion trans
ports and another distributes the Great
ed wealth of the Nation
Any system that discriminates or
gives any one of those great factors of
our National economy the advantage
over the others Is inherently wrong and
unjust. This Is the irrepressible con-
flict of our civilization. Since we have
competing manufacturers In Europe,
and all of us have to pay for being
governed, II is no hardship to pay that
money thru "a tariff provided the tariff
is SO arranged that II will bring the
largest amount of revenue with the
least protection, even IL it does help our
poor. starving. emaciated infant indus
try, the United States Steel Trust.
No doubt the policy Of granting that
empire of public land to induce men to
build railroads into the unsettled West
was good policy. The land was public
property, and all were taxed alike to
pay interest on seven or eight billions
of watered stocks that have nothing
back of them whatever but their ability
to absorb created wealth, and 1t Is just
as wrong and unjust as q high protec-
tive tariff. To- m
1t is only another phase of our ire
pressible industrial confiict.-A. d.

HELP FOR ITALY.
The Splendid Benevolence, OF the United
States for the Stricken Land,

The festivities of the holiday season
here were marred materially by the
horrors of the earthquake catastrophe
in southern Italy. Congress emphasized
It's beginning of the New Year by speed
lily voting an appropriation of $5e0,00O
for the relief of the sufferers. The plans
for making the appropriations and for
distributing the relief in the form of
food and clothing occupied the atten-
ton of the President, the Secretaries of
state and of the Navy, as well as of the
leaders of Congress. all OF whom CO.
operated to the fullest extent
"A magnanfmous suggestion OF send
ing the battleship fleet, now on the way
thru the Suez Canal to Messina, at
tracted much attention. 1t was thought
that the $4,000 jackies on the 16 battle
ships might be of assistance in policing
the stricken district, in maintaining or
der and in caring for the sick and
wounded. The President has already
announced that if the King of Italy de-
sires the presence of the warships they
will be sent there.
This offer in itself demonstrates very
strongly the friendly spirit of the Amer
lean Nation toward Italy. The invita-
ton may or may not be accepted, but in
all probability so much of the rescue
work will have been done by the time
the ships could reach Messina that the
CoutiiDutiOH OI congress IOr supplies
and clothing will be most needed. The
appropriation was voted by Congress
Monday in short order, after a special
requestiong action had been re-
ceived from the President. He had pre-
communicated with Speaker
Cannon about the matter and also with
Senator Hale. Chairman of Senate APP
These two visited the
White House offices on the Presidents
invitation. to advise and consult, and
the legislation was all arranged before
hand. so that the formalities of voting
the money might be put thru without
delay or hindrance.
Probably the ships of the American
Navy have never appeared in the eyes
of foreigners on a more humane mis-
sion. For whether the battleships go 30
Messina or continue on their voyage
thru the Mediterranean and into the
home waters of the Atlantic, it is en-
tirely probable that large supplies of
food and clothing will be taken from
the supply ship Celtic, now on the way
from New York to Gibraltar, and the
supply ship Culgoa, which is accom-
panying the fleet. The President planned
at first to turn over 100000 Navy ra-
tions from these supply ships, as soon
BIS they could be on the scene. That
may be modified somewhat, but at least
4 portion of the supplies will probably
go to the needy Italians.

Measures of Relief,

Measures Of Relief.
Never in the history of the world has
there been such a spontaneous and Law
ish contribution to the relief Of strick-
en- people. 1t is greatly to the pride of
America that we have led In this, and
our contributions made on the instant
will far exceed those of any other coun-
try. The United States has added much
to its fair fame by the immediate con-
tribution of unusually large sums COM
ing from every city and community. The
churches have Wed with the CONNER
ciaf and other bodies in the generosity
of their help, and every agency in the
country has been moved to immediate
action for the relief Of the victims of
the awful cataclysm. Our ships now
coming thru the Strait of Suez into the
Mediterranean have been ordered to
Sicily to aid in the work, which no
doubt our gallant sailormen will enter
upon with most willing hearts The
American ambassador at Rome has
been conspicuous in his prompt and ef-
fective assistance, in which he properly
represents his people. The King and
Queen of Italy have won the hearts OF
their people, by their promptness and
efficiency in heading the measures for
relief. They have gone personally to
the scene, and braved every danger that
came to the others in carrying succor.

sENAToR-ELECT BURTON.
Much Interest Felt in the Promotion
From the House of the Able Chair

From the House of the Able Chair
man.
One of the most interesting men Of
the week here is Representative Theo-
dore E. Burton. who has just returned
from Ohio. His election as Senator to
succeed Joseph Benson Foraker is now
assured. He will take his seat March
4. and thereby the House will lose one
of It's very ablest members. He has
often been mentioned as a strong pos
sibility for the Speakership, but has had
no chance for an election to that Office
as long as Mr.. Cannon cared to re-
tain it.
There is very general regret in off,
cial circles at the Capitol that Senator
Foraker should be retired to private
life, but there is hardly an Ohioan who
|could be more acceptable here as his
successor than Mr.. Burton. His career
in the House has been one of party
loyalty, but withal a career of inde-
pendence and fearlessness in advocat-
ing what seemed to him just and right.
He has been a great Chairman of the
House Committee on Rivers and Har-
bOrs, where he more than any other
one man has been responsible for the
elimination of old iog-rolling methods
in voting money for the improvement
of waterways. He was one of the first
to champion the Panama Canal route.
popular for any Representative to speak
out in favor of that route Mr.. Burton
and Mr.. Cannon came to the front and
led the fight that resulted in the House
abandoning the proposed route thru
Nicaragua. Mr.. Burton has been very
forceful in opposing the extravagances
of the Government in recent years. His
fund of information about economic
and governmental questions is unusually
large. He has made special study of
finance, and two years ago, when the
Eouse Banking and Currency Commit
tee needed new blood, was made one of
its members. He demonstrated his
strength there, and at the close of the
last session was made Chairman of the
Monetary Commission, composed Of
Senators and Representatives.
The success with which he has waged
his campaign for q toga in the face of
what was supposed to be certain defeat
has increased his prestige in Washing
ton. Then he stands forth as the fore
most party leader in Buckeyedom, ex-
cepting only the President-elect. and, of
course, is respected accordingly both in
Ohio and Washington. He comes into
his new Office without being under OBJ
legations to any coterie of men. That Is
very gratifying to him, for it will enable
him to pursue the same independent
and fearless course in the Senate that
he has pursued in the House.
