WOOD PULP POLICY
Province of Quebec Turns Deaf
Ear to United States

WASHINGTON, April 27-Efforts of
the United States to have modified in
some way the new pulp wood policy of
the province of Quebec have been un-
successful.
This measure prohibits the exporta-
tion of timber cut on crown lands, ex-
cept in manufactured form such as
pulp and commercial lumber.
Considerable loss to American paper
mills will be caused by the new law,
which goes into effect May /, because
they will have to buy manufactured
pulp instead of raw wood. as hereto

SEGREGAI { TAXES
REALTY MEN URGE
Representatives of State 0rgani-
zation Make Plea for Amend
ment No. 1

Boosting the segregation of county
and state taxes, representatives Of the
associated realty boards of California
addressed a meeting of bankers and
real estate dealers in the committee
rooms Of the chamber of commerce last
night. The speakers of the evening
were Alexander Brown of Stockton,
chairman of the state board of equal
ization; Col J. r. Howell of San Fran
cisco, member of the firm of Baldwin &
Howell, and w. L. Atchison of San
Jose.
The three members of the association
left san Francisco Monday on tour
Of the state in an automobile and have
visited Sacramento, Fresno, Bakers
field and almost every town in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.
They will go to San Diego today and
viii return to san Francisco by the
coast route, speaking at Santa Barba-
ra, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz and
San Jose.
The object of the tour is to arouse
public sentiment in favor of the pas
sage of amendment No. 1 at the No
vember election. The amendment pro-
vides for the complete segregation OF
county and state taxes and the assess
ing public service corporations on their
gross receipts by the state, eXempting
them at the same time from county
taxation. 20,

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-FolloWlns were s"S
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-23

that the amendment was of great value
to the real estate owners and dealers,
and in reality would be an equalizer
of the taxes of the state.
"The Wells-Fargo company" said Mr..
Brown, furnished probably a good ex-
ample of what this amendment would
do for the state. Under the present
laws it merely pays taxes on a horse
and wagon in the smaller towns and
cities, whereas under this amendment 1t
would pay a tax on it's immense reve-
nues accruing from these smaller
places"
The tour of the representatives of the
realty board is intended to be a cam
paign of education on the benefits of
the amendment should it be adopted.
Mr.. Brown said last night that the
amendment practically has met with
no opposition in his canvass of the
state, and that 1t had been indorsed
by the realty board, of which the asso-
ciated realty boards of California is
practically an aff1liation.
