.OEFERs VOTE ON
RECIPROCITY PACT
Measure May Occupy Two Days
More Consideration in House Be-
fore Reaching Final Vote.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-An at
tempt to fx a time for the final vote
on the Canadian reciprocity bill in
the house failed today, when the
measure came up again for debate.
Mccall (Rep., Mass.), tried to make
the bill the order of business tomor-
row-Calendar Wednesday-but there
was immediate objection. Carnder
(Rep., Mass.), then tried to move TO
dispense with calendar Wednesday,
but was ruled out OF order by Speak
er Cannon.
Leaders for and against reciprocity
admitted today that the measure may
occupy two. more days reconsidera-
ton In the house before reaching a
final vote. AS matters stand now
there is unlimited time for general
debate. BY Thursday night It was be-
lieved. that the reading of the bill
would begin.
Rep. Oscar Underwood (Dem., Ala
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee Of the next house, spoke in
favor OF the bill today. He scored
the Payne-Aldrich law, declaring that
the present reciprocity arrangement
was result OF the failure of the max

measure.

WARNS AGAINST
TIMBER TRUST
Commissioner Of Corporations Says
Vast Sections Are Tied Up
For Private Gain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The as
sertion that q vast timber trust

Is In the making, and startling statis-
tiles showing how the government
has lost millions In disposing of tim.

report sent to congress today by Her

corporations.

cific Co., the Weyerhauser Timber Co.
and the Northern Pacific Railway Co.,
(including their subsidiaries) together

per cent OF this privately owned tim.
ber
These three holdings" the report
says, have enought standing timber
to build an ordinary Ave or six-room
frame house for each of the sixteen
million families In the United States
In 1900. II sawed into lumber and
placed in cars, the timber would load
train about 100000 miles long.
The largest holders are cutting
little Of their timber. They thus re-
serve to themselves those incalculable
profits which accrue with the growth
of the country, the diminishing tim
ber supply and the further control
thereof. Many of the very men who
are protesting against conservation
and the national forest system be-
cause OF the tying up Of natural re-
sources are themselves deliberately
tying up far more effectively for pri-
yate gain"
The report declares the timber now
standing will last only about 55 years.
':Rich concentration in standing
timber Gfhe report states;-'ff permit
ted to continue and Increase makes
probable a final central control OF the
whole lumber industry. A few strong
interests ultimately holding the bulk
OF the timber can set the price OF
timber and its products.
When the timber has been cut the
land remains. There has been Gre
ated, therefore, not only the frame
work of an enormous timber monop-
oily, but also an equally sinister land
concentration In extensive sections.
Finally, to timber concentration
and to land concentration Is added, in
our most important timber section, a
closely connected railroad domination.
The formidable possibilities Of this
combination In the Pacific northwest
and elsewhere, are OF the gravest pub
lie Importance.
"The impossibilities OF power in
volved in such concentration OF land
ownership, irrespective OF the timber,
hardly require discussion. The danger
of abuse OF that power In the absence
of restrictive regulations Is obvious.
This danger, moreover, Is greatly null
tiplied because a few Of the largest
owners Of land also occupy dominat-
ing positions In railroad transporta-
ton over great sections Of the coun-
try"

BY w. @. SHEPHERD.

NEW YORK, Feb. i4.-As soon ss
Theodore y Vail had driven the teie
graph company out OF the telephone
field he began to plan for the estab-
lishment OF a national telephone com
pany.
He encouraged the organization oi
local companies In all cities. He travel
ed about himself extensively among
the cities, helping In this organization.
He boosted Bell telephone stock until
one day II sold at $1,000 share.
Each one OF the local companies, or
ganized under Wallis encouragement,
was forced, of course, ia pay liberal
royalties for the use OF the Bell pat
ents. In this connection Vail played
his shrewdest trick.
III you can't pay royalties In cash,
you can pay us In stock" said Vail.
This meant that each local company
that was formed watered It's stock, In
large measure, In order to gain sur
plus stock with which to pay the Belt
Telephone Co. Wallis company was
thus gaining a hold on the various To-
cal telephone companies Of the country

rates because Il was necessary for the
local companies to pay dividends on

pose Of trying to convince the alder
men and estimators that the Detroit
teachers are entitled to more pay.
I'VE expect to have the schedules
ready In few days." said Miss Dow
ney to The Times, Tuesday. I'VE
have written to 20 Of the large cities
for information concerning the sal
aries paid their teachers, and we ex-
pect early replies. In some Of the
big cities we already know what ID
being paid. For instance. Cleveland
pays the schedule we are asking. The
Cleveland elementary teachers start
In at $500 year and get an ANIMAL
increase q 500 until they reach the
maximum, $1,000. AS II Is now. We
get an increase of $50 year and the
maximum IL $500 year.
1T should be remembered, too, that
II takes q teacher a long time TO reach
the maximum salary. She has TO
spend about IA years preparing her.
self In publics school and academic
work for the teaching profession; |;
then II takes her nine years to work
up to the 5000 mark after starting In
at the minimum salary of $500 year,
with an increase OF only $50 q year.
There are 1900 teachers In the city
and 1900 of them are I'm the eiemen-
tary rooms. In the high schools the
minimum salary il 500 and the maxi
mum $1,000 for all teachers who are
not principals; the principals get
more, OF course.
The teachers certainly need more
pay. They give up all their energy
and ability to the teaching Of the chill
dren, and they work continually in
and out of school for the welfare OF
the pupils. The teachers are con-
stantly planning and exercising their
brains In every way possible to devise
ways and means of advancing the In
terests OF their pupils. The teachers
are also under quite an expense In
adding to their education by travel
and study for the benefit of the chill
dren. This Ia an item which is not
generally taken into consideration by
the public. The average teacher. too,
has more than herself to keep; she
usually has others dependent on her.
I'VE realize that the increase We
are asking for will mean an addition
OF $4,000 year to the pay roll,
about 20 cents per thousand added to
the taxes. but that. surely. Is not ask
Ing too much. At least, we trust that
the aldermen and the estimators will
be favorable to US, seeing that the
board of education has approved OF
the plan. We are going to make an
effort to see each alderman person
ally, for we believe much good can be
accomplished for our cause In that
way"
Miss Downey said that she and the
other teachers OF the city greatly ap-
preciate the effort The Times made
for them a year ago, when they tried
to get an increase In salary. and were
also deeply grateful for the papers
work in their behalf at the present
time.
