BUSINESS In BAD SHAPE

Edward Hines, Before the House Com
mittee, Asserts There Has Been
More Failures Since the Passage of
the Payne Bill Than for Several
Years Before-BIames Retailers for
Increased Price of Lumber.
Washington, Feb. 6.-The National
Association of Lumber Manufacturers
Of the United States, through their
president, Edward Hines, protested to
the ways and means committee of the
house against the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill as threatening disaster to the
lumber manufacturers of this country.
The gravamen of Hines complaint
was that the proposed trade agree
ment permits of the admission into
the United States free of duty of wood
for the manufacture of wood pulp, but
stiM excludes logs for the manufac-
ture of lumber. He said that there
are billions of feet of pine timber on
the Canadian side, in close proximity
70 America. that the logs can be float
I'd down stream into American terri
tory, but that they are excluded by
prohibition of the Dominion provin-
ciaI government
When Mr.. Hines suggested an
amendment to the pending bill to in
sluds free admission of logs for the
manufacture of lumber Chairman
Payne of the committee suggested
that any amendment of the bill would
simply mean killing the bill.
Mr.. Hines wanted the committee to
wait until next Thursday to hear a
delegation Of lumber manufacturers
from the Pacific coast, but the COM
mittss will take up later the question
Of extending the hearing.
Rscites Lumbermen's Wees.
Mr.. Mines complained Of bad busi-
ness to the committee In behalf Of
the lumber manufacturers. He said
duties of 37h per cent carried by the
Payne bill, which had wrought great
distress to the trade, and they wanted
- come before the committee and tell
how the proposed trade agreement
With Canada would further hurt the
humber affairs of the United States,
but the lumbermen could not possibly
Get here before next Thursday.
Mr.. Hines said there had been more
failures among lumber manufacturers
ofAcs the Payne bill went into effect
than for several years before. He
went On In this strain for some time,
rsciting a rate of higher cost OF labor,
higher cost of horses, supplies for the
men and all that sort of thing.
Champ Clark looked up from a copy
Of the Pike County News, which he
was perusing, to ask in his blunt way
how 1t was that the price of lumber
had increased.
I'VE hadn't got out of town." grum-
bod Mr.. Clark, before the price of
humber jumped up dollar thousand
although we had reduced the duty"
This sally led to quite discussion,
uatu Mr.. Hines finally got out by lay
1ng the blame on the retailers, who,
~ said, were not controlled by his
association at all.

News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers
SENATE KILLS CONGDON BILL
Reapportionment Measure Killed Be
yond Hope Of Resurrection at
This Session.

BY a vote of 27 to SO the Congdon
reapportionment bill, drafted by the
house committee, was killed in the
state senate. Then, in order to make
its demise still more definite, a mo-
tion to reconsider was put and lost,
thereby ending all chance for reviv-
ing it at the Thirty-seventh session.
The fight on the bill was spectacu-
lar. It's death had been predicted,
was known to be imminent and yet
friends of the measure packed the
available standing room and filed the
galleries back of the presidents chair.
Tonnage tax was killed in the house
by a vote of 70 to 4S. This is the
third time measure of this kind has
been considered by the legislature.
The Henry Bjorge bill was killed in
1907 by small majority. Two years
ago measure fathered by the same
member was passed and vetoed by
Governor Johnson.

A Chicken Bill.

DR.. Houge's bill making the steal
ing of chickens gross misdemeanor
has passed the House. This will
make glad the hearts of chicken
raisers, especially those who are en-
gagged in the business in a small way
in the villages and cities. For one to
raise bunch of thorough bred fowls.
watching over them and caring for
them almost like children. and then
when they have reached the "fryer"
stage to see them disappear one by
one. fills the soul with rage. If these
chicken raisers were in the legislature
they would have made chicken stealing
a capital offense.
Morris tribune., 1911-03-24

The curious feature of this vote
was the number of members that
voted and spoke for the measure two
years ago that voted and spoke against
it this year. If the men who voted
for it then had voted the same this
year, together with the new members
that favored it, it would have carried
it by a good majority. The attitude
of these members reminds one of the
famous remark of John Allen made in
Congress some years ago when he said :
"Whenever legislation comes up in
volving great financial interests. some
member change their minds for good
and sufficient reasons-and some
change their minds.
Those favoring the measure made
weak presentation of their case and
those opposed made still weaker
one.
The Democratic members trotted
out Governor Johnson's veto message
and while they spoke it seemed the
House was holding eulogies over the
late Governor rather than debating a
great taxation measure.
Governor Johnson was great Gov
ernor. he wrote strong message on
the subject of the tonnage tax upon
which he had strong views.
He had equally strong views on
other subjects which he expressed
with equal clearness and vigorosity.
notably on Reapportoinment and Wo-
man Suffrage. Yet most of the men,
bers of Democratic faith who eulogize
his views on the tonnage tax will de-
sert his standard when it comes to
these other matters. They only hold
Ghost Dances when the ghost dances
to the tune that they are fddling.
The real. vital, fundamental objec-
ton to tonnage tax was never men
toned by the opponents of the mea-
sure and that is: it is directly con-
trary to the true theory of taxation,
that every dollars worth of property
should pay an equal amount of state
taxation and be assessed, collected
and distributed in an absolutely uni
form manner. Special taxation is the
most vicious form of taxation and
shorld never he resorted to except
in cases of great emergency as in
time of war. There is little question
in the minds of the we'll posted that
the Iron mines are escaping consid-
cradle portion of their just taxation,
but surely our high priced Tax Com
mission ought to be able to devise a
method of compelling them to meet
their just taxation obligations without
the electmentary principle
of taxation.

Charge of Larceny Fails.

Adolph E. Gegndt, former night
watchman at the Shubert theater at

bring in a verdict of not guilty. Lar

UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
Minnesota Can Secure Next National
Corn Show.

Minnesota will secure the national
corn show of 1912, providing the
state legislature appropriates enough
money to erect the 100000 agricul-

The guaranty of $4,000, it was an
nounced, has already been cared for
by the Twin Cities. G. H. Stevenson,
manager of the exposition, and general
secretary of the Corn association, told
the committee that the show is al
ready to come to the Twin Cities if a

it. Plans for the proposed agricul-

TWO BIG QUESTIONS IN
LEGISLATURE.
Eddy Comments on How Mem
bers Have Changed Their
Minds, but Says Tonnage Tax
is Wrong.-Both Parties Ig-
more Plat forms in Killing Re-
apportionment Bill.
By Frank M. Eddy.

st. Paul. Last week was the most
spectacular one of this session thus
far. Many minor bills were passed
and the two most important measures
brought before the legislature this
session were killed, (reapportionment
and tonnage tax), the funeral orations
pronounced and they were laid away
in their little graves not to be resur-
rected until 1912, unless the COVER
nor should make up his mind to call
an extra session in attempt to compel
bhe Legislators to keep party pledges.
Extra sessions are not popular Ell
ther with the members of the legis-
lature or with the people. At the
present time the Legislators are paid
by the year and if they were conven-
ed in extra session they would be
compelled to come at theirown ex-
pense and pay their own bills while
mere. The people are not fond
of them. for shadow of apprehension
always rests over the state while the
Legislature is in session, for no one
can tell just what they are going to
do. The Governor would hardly be
justified in calling an extra session
unless he had reason to believe that a
different action would result and the
vote was not decisive in the Senate
that there is little ground for such
belief.

Representative Frankson of Fillmore
county came up as special order last
Thursday and the entire afternoon was

same. 1t never had ghost of show
of passage but even those who were
opposed to it did not look to see it
defeated by so overwhelming ma
iority.
While the bill was we'll handled by
Representative Frankson and J. N.
Johnson it fell below Representative
Bjorge's mastery management of the
same meausre two years ago.

When Mr.. Hill found his young
son, he was in pancho Vi'ia's
command in President Madero's
army, encamped opposite Ciudad
Juarez. The youngster was
armed with a Mauser rifle and a
six shooter and had two cartridge
helts strapped around him. He
appeared to be ready for any of
the emergencies of war.
This young soldier of fortune
has been living with an aunt in
FL Paso and attending the public
school for the past three years.
The fighting blood of his ances.
tors made a call too strong to be
offset by the tanner sport of at
tending school, so he enlisted,
and soon was able to render valu.
able service through the practi.
cal knowledge of drilling which
he acquired in the public schools.
When his disappearance wa:
reported to Mr.. Hill. he went
Immediately to FL PasO and
secured the services of detectives
who located the hoy in Presidenf
Madero's camp.

FIRST GRADUATING
CLASS IS LAUNCHED
Auditorium Filled to Listen to
the Fine Program
ROOM WAS BEAUTIFULLY
DECORATED WITH ROSES

The high school auditorium
was filled Friday evening for the
first commencement exercises
ever held by the Alamogurdo
high school. The wall az the
rear of the rostrum was a solid
a...k of -osca and fsf"s. !, rss
a most beautiful sight.
The program. though short in
numbers. was an excellent one.
The Class of 1911 was small
one-only one mem her. Miss
Hazel Inez shelton. What the
class lacked in numbers, Miss
Shelton will make up as the
future shapes itself. She ac-
quilted herself in a very able
and pleasing manner. Her ora
ton, Motives Of Success"
which we give in anothercolumn,
was a most scholarly effort and
contained some very high ideals,
we'll worth the consideration IT
every hearer present. Her car
riage was graceful and her deliv-
cry perfect. During the even
ing she was the recipient of Q
large basket of exquisite roses.
The first number on the pro-
gram was a song, Autumn"
by the Girls Chorus.
j Rev. G. Fl. Givan pronounced
the invocation and he was follow
ed by a fine selection entitled
college Life by the Oliver
Sisters on violins and mandolin
and Mrs. Oliver at the piano.
After Miss Hazel Shelton's
. Grafton, came the Glass Address,
by Rev. Ed. lie Breton, who for
about 80 minutes held the closest
: attention Of the audience. His
: remarks we're to the point aud
very valuable-nOt to the gradu-
ate alone, but the entire audi
ence. He showed the value of
{ education, and also how neces-
( sary it was to have God too.
His text was taken from Mat
thew 6 :33, But seek ye first
, the Kingdom of God and all His
righteousness; and all these
. things shall be added unto you."
He told a little story dur
ing his address how it took 200
years to grow . good oak, but that
9 squash could be grown in four
] months. This was cleverly used
r to show how long it might take
D to really complete an education.
Life is too short to do it. Get
ing the right start" was the
: main point in his discourse, and
a like the others, had q good many
r bright thoughts connected with
!, it. He proved conclusively that
y the boy or girl who does not lay
hold of an education in youth, is
: going to miss 9 whole lot of good
q things when they are grown.
! His story connected with this
last assertion was very amusing
I and brought down the house.
D The Girls Chorus followed
with another pretty song entitled
: Fairy Moonlight" after which
4 in a few we'll chosen remarks,
T Hon. ,. L. lawson presented
!, to the graduate Miss Shelton,
y the much coveted diploma. His
: words to the young lady, the
D teachers, the faculty and school
patrons we're most appropriate
and worthy Of serious considera-
s tion by all.
