WILL BENEFIT
NEBRASKA
LUMBER AND TIMBER PRODUCTS
ALSOFlSH
Benefits Accruing to the State of
Nebraska by the Proposed
Reciprocity Agreement.

The reciprocal agreement places
timber, ordinary sawed lumber, wood
en- slaves, paving posts, railroad ties,
telephone, electric light, and trolley
poles, and pickets and palings on the
free list, The United States fur
ther agrees to cut the present duty
on laths of 20 cents per thousand
pieces in half, and reduce the duty
on shingles from so cents to 30 cents
per thousand On all lumber planed
or finished the present duties are
reduced by $1,25 per thousand feet.
The state of Nebraska produces no
lumber of commercial importance,
hence these sweeping reduo tions In
duty on all grades of lumber and
timber should prove of the greatest
value to the state. The United Sta
tes found IL to its advantage to i'm
port lumber from Canada in the fis-
cal year 1910 to the value of nearly
$24,000,000 with the present duties
in duty become effective, this amount
could be increased almost indefinite
ly as Canada is probably the rich
est country in the world in its resour-
ces of timber and area of ferest.
The Dominion Statistician has esti-
mated the area of standing timber to
be more than a million and quarter
square miles. As Nebraska is now
compelled to purchase all the lumber
necessary for her industries and
building construction outside of the
state, the proposed reductions In
duty can but rebound to the advan-
tage of all interests within the state,
with no industry adversely affected.

Fish


The proposed reciprocal agreement
places fish of all kinds, fresh or
in any manner, on the free
list This provision should be of
material Importance to the state OF
Nebraska, inasmuch as only a negli-
gible quantity of fish is obtained from
the waters within the state. The
value of fish as an article
of food has been long recognized and
their consumption in the United
States is rapidly increasing 1t Us
estimated that fish to the value of
nearly $50,000,000 are annually con-
sumed in the United States The
imports of fish and fish products have
practically doubled during the last
decade, amounting to $13 3,S36, 900 In
the fiscal year 1910 This clearly
indicates that American fishermen
are no longer able to supply the
home demand for fish.

Little Rock, July 20.-At meeting
 the State apitol Commission to-
 ey final settlement was made with lillian Miller and Sons, the contrac-
 rs who did the last work on the Rpitol- They were paid about $1S,- DO, and there is still about $30,000 eld in escrow that is in controversy pr various reasons As rapidly as
 hese claims are adjudicated, they Flll be paid. The commission also |ettled with Lewis & Kitchens, os Kansas City, who installed the heat pg plant paying them $37,9O0 for the Plant, out of the $75,OOO deficiency appropriation passed early in the |egular session. There are no furth- Pr funds available for work on the eapitol save the $3O,OOO specifically appropriated for the removal of the Ptate treasury and the supreme court, end it is not likely that these will be moved before Jan. 1, 1912. The funds Perived from the regular capitol tax ebout $18O,O00 a year, must be per- nltted to accumulate in the treasury Until another legislature can appro- priate it.

WILL NOT TEST THE
 AUTOMOBILE TAX LAW

Little Rock, Ark, July 20.-It ap- pears unlikely that there will be any test of the automobile tax law in Lit tie Rock. The question has been rais- ed of the right of the city to tax auto mobiles in addition to the state tax provided by the Hughes act, and some of those who had at first expressed a determination to resist the city tax have decided to pay it. They look upon it, however more as a free-will contribution to the city to keep the up the streets, and say they could defeat it in the courts. The new state law becomes effective August 13, and already 1SO automobile owners have taken out the tax of $5. Helena sent in 23 applications ill one mail, and yesterday twelve came from Marian ma. This is less than one-fifth the total number in the state, however, and the secretary of state urges that owners send in their applications at once, with the money, so there will be no delay.

Harvard Professor Advocates Plan Fol
Perfeoting Races.

Harvard Professor Advocates Plan For
Perfeotins Races.
Professor William G. Farrabee of
Harvard university thinks that the
great thing for Americans to do is to
improve the race in this country. This
need of improvement, he says, is due
to the fact that in the past Americans
have been lax not only In allowing un-
fit immigrants to come here, but also
in permitting unfit natives to marry,
and thus multiply the number of pau
pers and criminals.
He says: I'VE have had an unex-
ampled opportunity here in America to
produce a perfect race of men and
women. We have failed to do this
because we have allowed the unfit to
come here, and we have allowed the
unfit, both native and foreign, to in
crease and multiply. If we started
now to eliminate the unfit we might
in another generation see results that
would approximate perfect race"
