other tree which may be satisfactorily
converted into pulp by the grinding
process. The domestic consumption
of print paper amounts to 100000
tons annually. The total consumption
of spruce wood for paper purposes In
the United States amounts to 400,
600 cords per annum. One third OF
this amount comes from Canada, the
remainder from American forests. The
government forest service estimates
that there are 100000 of acres OF
spruce forests east of the Rocky noun
tains. The spruce on the Pacific coast
is more valuable for lumber and is
used only in limited quantities for
paper making. Computing the exhaust
ing of these spruce forests on the
basis of present consumption for
paper purposes, Forester Pinchot esti-
mates they will be exhausted as fol-
lows:
Names in twenty-eight years; New
Hampshire in twenty-five years; Yer
mont In eleven years, and New York
In eight years. He also estimates that
Minnesota with her great forests OF
black spruce cannot continue to sup
ply her present output and have any
left at the end of nine years. Mr..
Pinchot also testifies that 1t will be
impossible to avoid the exhaustion
by reforestation for the reason that
spruce trees require from seventy-five
to 100 years to reach a diameter OF ten
inches.
Senator Brown drew the following
conclusion at the end of his argu-
ment:
"Our pulp wood supply is nearly ex-
hausted.
"The pulp wood supply of Canada is
apparently inexhaustible.
Free pulp would tend to conserve
our pulp wood.
"The production cost of print paper
is less in the United States than 1t is
in Canada.
"a ton of news print paper costs In
Canada $24.54 to manufacture; in the
United States it costs $27.74 per ton.
"The print paper market is controll-
ed in the United States by combina-
ton and whatever duty the law may
fix will assist the combination in that
control in violation of the law in COM
petition to the injury and outrage OF
the public.
"By reason of such control, the cost
of print paper to the consumer has
been arbitrarily advanced to an I'M
reasonable and unconservable profit to
the manufacturer.
Print paper advanced from $3S In
1907 to $42 and $50 per ton in 1908.
1.-The importation of print paper for
all time has been neglible.
"The proposed duty on pulp and
print paper is, therefore, not neces-
sary for protective purposes nor USE
full for revenue purposes. 1t is, there
fore, an outlaw duty ard should be
stricken from this bill"

Resolution Suggested by Taft.

gress shall have power to lay and
collect direct taxes upon incomes with
apportionment among the several
states according to the population"
is the subject Of an amendment to
the constitution proposed in resolu-
ton submitted to the senate by Sena-
tor Brown. The resolution provided
for the submission of the question to
the legislatures of the several states
for their approval as suggested by the
president. 1t was referred to tho
committee on finance.
Senator McLauren of Mississippi,
suggested that If the reference to d.
rect taxes was striker out it would
accomplish the object sought and at
the same time would permit the levy
ing of other taxes on the same line
instead of combining it to incomes
alone. Agreeing with the MISSISSIPPI
plan, Mr.. Brown said his purpose was
to confine the tax to incomes.

Of President Taft recommending the
incorporation of a provision in the
tariff bill for the taxation of the earn.
ings Of corporations and the adoption
Of resolution looking to an amend
ment of the constitution so as to per-
NIT the levying of an income tax
without interference from the courts
which was received by the senate yes
terday, was generally regarded by SEN
ators as of such Importance as to
tanning strictly to the schedules of
the tariff bill.
The message was received in the
afternoon and after brief discussion
of the method of proceeding, 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on finance.
Senator Gore attempted to have the
committee instructed to report on the
income tax feature of the movement
by next Friday, when under general
agreement, the income tax question is
again to be taken up for considera-
ton. His motion was, however, voted
down and for the first time in many
weeks the division was strictly along
party lines, all the republicans voting
20 lay on the table while all the demo-
Gratis cast their votes against that prop
osition. Senator Bailey gave notice
that he would demand that provision
be made for graduation OF any In
come tax that might be provided for
and intimated that much time would
be necessary to get through a propo-
sition which did not carry that quail
fication.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 17.-Miss
Anna Owen, the stenographer who
was slugged in her office here last
night and the record of the police
investigation stolen from her, was i'm
proved today. Her skull was not frac'

Mayor Critteen today offered per-

Kansas City, Mo-, June 17.-Miss
Annie Lee Owen, official stenographer
in the police investigation, was slug

Stenographic notes, representing testi-
mony of the witnesses In the hearing

unconscious and he supposed she was
dead. The police commissioners, Thos.
K. Marks, was called, and she regain

Captain Walter Whittsett, 1nspec'
tor Edward Boyle and several detec'

soon separated to hunt the girls as
sailant. The investigation which has
been in progress for two weeks has
brought to light much disorderly ga
loon business and alleged collision
by high police officials. Police Com
missioner Marks, under whose direc
ton the inquiry is being made, said:
81 can only suppose that this is
move of the system which this police
investigation has been exposing. II
shows more desperation than we sup
posed was possible. Her stenographie
notes were not very valuable for we
have heard the testimony and a man
could have stolen the notes from here
without such brutality"

committee. The most drastic finding
is that affecting the Mercantile and
Metal exchanges, as follows Under
present conditions, we are of the opin-
ion that the Mercantile and Metal ex-
changes do actual harm to producers
and consumers, and that their char
tiers should be repealed"
Concerning speculation in general,
the committee declares that 1t may be
wholly legitimate, pure gambling, or
something partaking of the qualities
of both, that in some form it Is nee
essary incident of productive opera
tons; that it tends to steady prices
and that for the merchant or manu-.
facturer the Spectator performs a
service which has the effect of insur-
ance. "In law" says the report, spec
ulation becomes gambling when the
trading which it involves does not
lead, and is not intended to lead, to
the actual passing from hand to hand
of the property that is dealt in.
"The rules of all the exchanges for
bid gambling as defined by this opin-
ion; but they make so easy technical
delivery of the property contracted
for, that the practical effect of much
speculation, in point of form legiti-
mate, is not greatly different from that

The committee closes with review
of the experience of Germany in re-

today between Senators Bristow and
Smoot as to whether 1t raised or low
