VIEWS ON The TARIFF
Doubt as to Effect the Mea, ure
May Have.

The following i from a news letter
FROM Washington. b. q. Democrat
ic majority leader Underwood, whose
name the new tariff bill hears, when
asked to answer the query OF the
critics as to- what progress has been
made by congress towards lowering
the cost Of living. aud when these
reductions would be made, said
"'rO point out in detail the reduce
tions In the tariff bill. which passed
the house, that will reduce the cost
OF living, would take many hours.
Rut will say that we have either
placed every foodstuff on the free list
or halved the present tariff upon II.
Meat and bread are paced On the free
list. These are commodities Ia which
the ma ses are certainly interested.
The tariff on sugar has been
reduced 25 per cent. and II the bill Is
passed 10 the form In which IT went
to the senate will be entirely elimi-
mated within. three years. This

Protect Idaho's Forest.

Forest resources Of Idaho are of
material importance directly or in
directly to every citizen of the state.
Idaho has l29 billion feet of
merchantable timber besides a vast
amount of young timber too small to
be considered merchantable but
which will grow to merchantable size
by the time the present logging tim
Der is cut.
In the manufacture of a thousand
hoard feet of lumber SIS is spent for
labor, So is spent for farm and store
supplies and an average of 81 is spent
for freight. In the manufacture of
the present stand of 129 billion feet
of merchantahle timber $l,032, ,000,-
600 will be spent 10 the state for
labor, $258, ZOO, 900, will be spent for
farm and store supplies and $803, 900,
600 for freight. 10 concrete form the
manufacture of this great resource
would pay 10000 men each ST. 900 per
year for labor for 100 years; 10000
farmers and merchants would get
$3.50 per year for 100 years for farm
supplies, and 5000 railroad employees
could be supported at 1000 per year
for 100 years on the freight rates.
| $4,000 people could be supported for
the next 100 years by the manufact-
| ure of the present stand Of merchant
able timber. By its proper use and
protection from fire this timber can
be made continuous resource for all
time and at the end of the present
cut of 129 billion feet new crop of
! timter will be ready for the harvest.
AS the forest fire season approach
es it behooyes every citizen of Idaho
whose occupation or leisure takes him
into the forests to use every precau-
tion in the handling of fire. Every
citizen should do all in his power to
protect the vast forest resources Of
the state by reporting fires to the
proper authorities; by lending his aid
il possible to fight fires, and by using
his Influence against public indiffer-
ence and carelessness 10 regard to
fire.
Every citizen should be conyersant
with the fire notices of the state land
board and the forest service and their
warnings and directions in regard to
fire. Special care should be used by
people clearing stump land, as this is
one of the bad sources of forest fires.
Probably the greatest agency in set
ting fires, outside OF lightning, is
carelessneSs in the use OF matches
and tobacco % smoking in the woods.
The Pacific coast people have a
slogan which could well be used n
Idaho. "A match does not think
with its head, when you use 1t your
head has to do the thinking. Don't
trust the match not to fall where ii
nay start a fire and make you re.
sponsible. The progeny of matches,
cigarettes or cigar stubs and camp.
fires have no heads at all. So don't
trust them either, Do your own
thinking. u. w. COOK, assistant
forester, U. of I.

Morton and Columbia avenue last night

proved that he is capabl of keeping

MAN SHOT
At TOlLESTON

Albert Jahnke, 40 years old, one of
the pioneer citizens of the Tolleston
district of Gary and closely related to
many families in this county, is dead
as the result of gunshot wounds re-
ceived while hunting Saturday near
Clarke Station. 1t is believed that the
wounds were self-infiicted.
Jahnke was hunting with young
John Foss of Tolleston. The two be-
came separated for a short while.
There was a report of a gun and when
young Foss ran to where Jahnke was
he found him with the side of his face
blown Off The dying man was remov-
ed to the Mercy hospital, where he died
early Saturday afternoon AS far as
Coroner Smith can determine at the
present time the shooting with
suicidal intent and not accidental, al
though there is a difference of opinion
in the matter.
Jahnke is survived by a wife and
five children. His wife was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Koepke, the
pioneer settlers of Tolleston.
Funeral services will be held from
the home in Twelfth avenue tomorrow.
Interment will be at the Tolleston
cemetery.

Some Steel News

The United States Steel corporation
recently announced it's wage increase
plan which provides for an increase of
81, 000,000 per month, or $12,000,000 a
year. The statement issued by Chair
man Ebert H. Gary follows:
I'm accordance with the recent an
nouncement made by the chairman re-
speeding an advance in wages, many of
the subsidiary companies of the United
States Steel corporation have made up
their schedules, which together aggre-
gate an increase in wages of about ST.
100000 per month, commencing about
Feb. 1. These benefits largely apply to
the workmen receiving the lowest daily
wages. Some of the mining companies
are not included. for the reason that
wages have been heretofore adjusted
by those companies and are now above
the average"
The increase in wages is In lire with
the policy adopted yesterday by f. H
Gary and the management of the corr
poration to advance wages when condi-
tions justified such action. Chairman
Gary has always advocated fair and
reasonable wages for the workmen OF
the Steel Corporation. and it is dus
largely to the position taken by hin
that United States steel has experience
ed no labor difficulties to speak of since
the great strike shortly after the cor,
poration's organization. Certain share
holders, at times. have made the claim
that the employees were receiving more
than their proportion of the corpora
tons income. but the policy pursued
seems to have been a wise one in sc
far as the establishment of harmoniou:
ployers and employee is concerned.
Hope to Hold Advance.
Should the steel industry experience
a depression that would tend to for
