OFFICIALS OF TREASURY DEPART.
MENT DON'T KNOW JUST WHAT
CONGRESS INTENDED.
EFFECTS TREATIES OF OTHER NATIONS
Goods imported on American Ships
Get Per Cent Reduction While
Treaty Agreements Guarantee
No Determination.

Officials Of the treasury department
are at sea to know what congress &C.
tually meant by the provision Of the
new tariff law allowing per cent
reduction Of duties on goods imported
in American ships, with the condition
that the differential should not be con-
strued to abrogate or impair any ex-
listing treaty between the United States
and foreign nation.
Literally interpreted, it Is declared
the provision would give per cent
decrease to goods in American bottoms
and automatically grant the same priv
ilege to the same ships Of the many
nations whose treaties with the United
States guarantees no discrimination
between their vessels and those OF
America.
This construction, which would be a
horizontal reduction Of 5 per cent in
the tariff of importation from most of
the great countries Of the world, in
wolves probably $10,000,000 in revenue
for the government, creating deficit
instead Of surplus in the treasury,
as has been estimated by the tariff
trainers.
The question undoubtedly will be re.
ferred to President Wilson and Attor-
ney General McReynolds and ultimate
" will reach the United States SUI
preme court.
Hits Twenty-Three Nations.
The state and treasury departments
are in consultation over the effect Of
the provision, the first snag struck in
the new law. Avoiding q literal con-
struction, some officials contend that
congress meant q reduction should be
allowed only in cases where the United
States did not have treaty which
would interfere.
Whatever the Interpretation Of the
provision for nations with these guar.
antees Of equality. it is pointed out
other serious questions arise as to %
nations whose treaties with this coun
try do not guarantee against discrim
nation. The countries which thus will
be charged the full Underwood duties
In any event are Brazil, Chile, China
Dominican Republic, Ecuador. France
German Empire Except several Ger
man states); Greece, Guatemala, Hay
tt. Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Persia

Venezuela.
| Also, the treaty with Great Britain
does not guarantee equality Of treat
ment for vessels of her colonies, sucf
as Canada and Australia.

same intensity as the previous one and
covered practically the same area, with
the central point of the disturbance
about 100 miles from Panama City.

FIRST TIMBER SALE
Government Sold Georgia Farmer 81
Worth of LOGS.

Washington, April 5.-The United
States has made its first timber sale
on the newly purchased Appalachian
Forests, and the voucher that estab
llshed the fact has been an object OF
interest in the hands of the officials
of the Department of Agriculture
who have had occasion I'd handle it.
The voucher itself does not show
what the character Of the sale was,
but inquiry has drawn forth the in
formation that the material disposed
OF was 81 worth of logs, bought by a
Georgia farmer to use In building a
barn. This apparently insignificant
transaction is regarded as foretaste
of the future when the Government
will be taking in tidy revenue from
the forest lands which ii is now buy
ing in the east,
These lands are being bought pri-
marily to protect navigation. Con-
gress held, in providing for their
purchase. that the Constitution pro-
hibits the Government from buying
lands for these eastern forests eX-
cept at the headwaters of navigable
rivers, and for the purpose of regu-
lating steamfow and preventing the
sitting up of the channels Of com
merce Yet the production of tim
Der will also be made one of the OBJ
iects of applied forestry as the Gov
eminent will practice it on these
areas The latest purchase, made
last February, was of $4,000 acres in
North and South Carolina and Geor-
gia, on the headwaters of the Savan-
nah River, and brought up the total
which has been bought to 100000
acres. OF this 100000 acres are in
the Southern Appalachians, and So
600 in the White Mountains. Y
Not all of the land is well timber
ed now. for the Government in many
cases can not afford to pay the value
of land and heavy timber together.
Consequently most of the land ac-
quired has been culled or cut over
or else is sold to the Government
with the reservation by the owner
of the right to cut and remove the
timber under methods prescribed by
the Forest Service. Nevertheless,
sales of material will doubtless be
made from time to time, and will in
crease in number and value as i'm
proved forests grow on these areas,
under the stimulus of proper forest
management and protection from
fire.
