Says Section Suggested by
Him For Charter Embodies
Business Principles.
THAT NOT MORE THAN
oNE-TENTH OF ONE PER CENT
SHOULD BE SET ASIDE ANNUAL
LY FROM GENERAL TAXATION
AND USED TO ENCOURAGE
MANUFACTURING PLANTS AND
STEAMSHIP LINES.

This city should set aside a fund
from general taxation annually to be
used only in encouraging nanufactur-
ing, industrial and commercial plants
to locate here, as well as to induce
railroads and steamship lines to come
to this city, Is the belief of c. E. Dob
son, president Of the Pensacola Com
mercial Association, who recently sug-
gested such a clause to the public
meeting at which a form of new char
ter was discussed. Speaking of the
matter last night Mr.. Dobson explain
ed his ideas as follows:
That the commissioners OF the city
of Pensacola shall annually set apart
from general taxation in said city. an
amount not less than one-fortieth Of
one per cent, nor more than one-tenth
of one per cent of the assessed vaIua-
tion of all real and personal property
taxable in said city: which fund shall
be used and expended under the di-
rection and control of the commission
ers of said city and the directors Of
the Pensacola Commercial Associa-
tion or its successors, under such
rules and regulations as they shall
prescribe, for the purpose of aiding
and encouraging the location of manu-
featuring, Industrial, and commercial
plants in and near said city, the en-
couraging Of the building of railroads
and the securing of the coming in of
steamship lines thereto, and for such
other purposes as will, in their opinion,
increase the population, value of prop
erty, and business of said city.
NO EXTRA TAXATION,
This amount Is not to be raised by
extra taxation, but it is provided that
It be allotted from the general fund.
1T is to be used to get railroads.
steamship lines, faotories-anything
that viii increase the population,
value OF property, and business of the
city. Are not these proper objects for
which to spend the city's money? Is
not this what we all want?
I'VE, as a city. are in competitive
business, We are striving to get the
industry and trade which are being
sought also by energetic and wide
awake rivals. 1t behooves US TO use
the most m66ern and business like
methods to attain our ends. It Is very
much the city's business to promote
its own growth. This is one Of the
most approved methods Of doing It. It
permits the doing, directly, Of what is
done time and again indirectly.
'It Is provided that the Pensacola
Commercial Association join with the
In the expenditure Of
this fund, because they are working
to the same end. They have studied
methods. They are prepared to advise
and cooperate. 1t is an old, but no
less true proverb that in union there
is strength
This section seems to me to embody
a sound business principle I hope
that 1t will be adopted"

BALKAN CRISIS
NEARING END
THE PoRTEs' REPLY WILL PROB
ABLY BE MADE TO THE BALKAN
DELEGATES TOMORROW - RE-
SUIT STILL UNCERTAIN AND
LOOKS LIKE FIGHTING WILL BE
RESUMED.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 19.-The portes' deci-
sion to call a general assembly on
Tuesday to take under advisement the
Balkan situation probably heralds fur
ther concession on the part Of Tur-
key, 1t is believed here.
The Balkan delegates do not believe
the portes' reply to the note of the
powers will be such a fiat refusal as
was foreshadowed. If Turkeys answer
is still unsatisfactory, the allies will
ask the powers whether they have the
means to compel Turkey to comply
with their wishes and if not the allies
will Immediately resume war.
In such event the allies will regard
all concessions made heretofore as
void.

Washington, jan 19.-The conceu-
tration into the hands Of few power
fui interests Of an enormous percent
age Of the timberlands OF the United
States has created a problem 50 grave
for the nation in the judgement Of
Luther Conant, Jr., commissioner OF
corporations, that today he recon-
Inended to President Taft that the
cSisting national forests not only be
retained by the federal government,
but increased as far as practicable.
This note OF warning was sounded
by the commissioner In forwarding to
the president the full text OF part / Of
the bureau Of corporations investiga-
tion OF the lumber industry made by
direction Of congress. AZ summary OF
this report, showing the extent OF con-
eenirated control OF timber lands was
sent to the president and published
nearly two years ago.
To increase government ownership
OF forest lands the commissioner urges
tEat the forests Of ALASKA be included
in reserve. as well as all timbered
lands recovered in forfeiture suits. He
sdvises q further searching inquiry
into land grants of the past with the
view of instituting additional for
feiture suits if the facts justify the
procedure.
ATTEMPTS CONTINUE.
Mr. Conant warns that attempts are
still being made to secure the trans
fer of public timberlands to private
owners under the same pleas of set
tlement which in the past often proved
wholly specious and insincere."
Much of the timberland still re-
naming in public ownership con-
tiHues the commissioner, ''is adapted
euly for timber purposes All that
eouId be properly asked by a bona-fde
sett1er Is the surface of arabic land
after the timber has been removed,
but too frequently back of the argu-
ment made In the name OF the settler
is the desire to acquire the timber
or other natural resources rather than
Athe soil itself. It seem desirable. there
More. to direct public attention to the
fundamental difference between dis
posing OF agricultural lands to actual
settlers, whose industry contributes d.
reetly to the material and social up
building of the community, and the
alienation Of virgin timber lands,
which do not require, and, indeed,
hardly permit of, Improvement by pri-
vate owners, and the value of which is
the supply and the increase in popu-
latlon. The public service involved in
the more speculative holding Of this
timber for an advance in price, under
present conditions of settlement of the
country, is practically negligible. When.
moreover, such lands become concen-
trated in comparatively few hands.
there Is, instead of q public service,
serious ri11oiic danger
Without entering into discussion OF
possible solutions of certain grave prob
lens involved in the present concen-
tration or timber ownership, it may
be pointed out that the government
today still owns, exclusive of the for
ests Of Alaska, about one-fifth of, the
country's total supply of merchantable
standing timber. It is the agency best
adapted to practicing reforestation on
a large scale.
