ARB0R DAY ON
APRIL oath
Governor Clarke Issues Annual Arbor
Day Proclamation, and Advises
the Planting of Trees
TEACHERS SHOULD GIVE AID
Plant Trees on the School Grounds
and Keep Record of Planting
for Future Generations.

Gov. George w. Clarke has issued
proclamation naming April Oath as
Arbor day. 1t follows:
"ln an article in the Register and
Leader of Feb. %, 1914, entitled The
Forests of Iowa. Mr. H. G. Evans, of
Des Moines, said: There is an old elm
in the yard of the j. J. Selman home in
Bloomfield that is probably the larg-
est tree in the state. The writer has
had intimate acquaintance for over
| fifty years with another old elm few
miles northeast of Bloomfield. This
tree was monarch of the forest ere
the white man set foot on Iowa soil.
1t was known to the Indian and the
wild beast hundred years before the
| independence of our country. 1t is
probably 800 years old. 1t reached ITS
splendid proportions through great
weather. We have seen it's splendid
branches whipped almost to the break
ing point by terrific winds. 1t stands
so high above surrounding objects
that twice it has attracted the light
ming and it is SCARED from tip to base
For more than sevent years children
have found playground beneath its
shade. 1t has withstood droughts ana
storms, the rigors of many winters,
the assaults OF men and nature-and
has not it's fellow in beauty and
grandeur for miles around. There is
majesty and gripping pathos about a
great tree. There is mystery about
it's everlasting silence, it's tranquil
patience
How fine, how great a thing it
would be to plant tree to withstand
the storms and beautify landscape and
shelter and refresh by it's shade for
centuries. Plant trees on the school
grounds of Iowa. Keep a record of
the planting-when and by whom
that future generations may call your
name blessed. All is for the future.
Remember that and contribute some
thing to make life in the coming years
desirable, beautiful, great. Fail not
to do so in many ways, but plant trees.
"In the hope of encouraging the
planting, l do hereby designate Fri
day, April oath, as Arbor day, and
recommend that it be generally OBJ
served, but more especially by those
in charge of our schools, in such man
ner as may be deemed will best sub
serve the purposes of the day.
(, I'm testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal of the state
Iowa this 29d day of February A. D.
1914.

Double Duty on American Goods.

| Paris, Feb. 24-The American cham
Der of commerce, which has been as
sisting Ambassador Myron T. Herrick
in assembling information desired by
Secretary of State Bryan upon which
to negotiate new trade treaties with
countries which discriminate against
the United States has furnished a
large number of interesting instances
from which it appears that France Of
ten charges twice as much duty on
certain American products as upon
the products from other countries.
Salmon canned in Canada pays the
equivalent of 04.S2 per metric hun
dred weight, or 22O pounds, which if
is precisely double, of O.64.
Vegetables canned anywhere except
in the United States may come into
France for 61.4O on the hundred
pounds, while if they are from the
United States they must pay $210.
A set of paper-making machines
from the United States must pay $751;
GOO in duty as against $4,000 if the ma
chinery comes from Germany.
Sulphur comes in free from other
countries, while from the United
States it must pay 70 cents per metric
hundred weight.
Cheap watches made in Germany
pay at the French border the equiva-
lent of Is cents each in duty, while
the cheap watches from the United
Staes must pay dollar duty. Watches
and clocks of the cheapest sort cost
about fifty cents to make in America
and the duty therefore is about 220
per cent of the value. In some CLASH
fications of waches and clocks the
duty on American made ones amounts
to 300 per cent or six times the duty
on the same sort of watches and
clocks coming from European coun-
tries. The consequence is that the
cheapest American made timepieces
are excluded altogether from the
French market.
Scrap iron from the United States
pays the equivalent of $4.24 per ton,
while from other countries the duty
is the minimum rate of $3.50. Car
per hundred pounds, while if they
are from Germany or any other Euro
pean exporter they pay s1.O5.
Senator James H. Lewis, of Illinois
has been here inquiring why Ameri-
can meats cannot be sold in France.
They are excluded on the assumption
that they are diseased, but there
could be no explanation given to Sen
ator Lewis as to why paraffine was
produced in large quantities in Chica-

while paraffine from other countries
need pay only 500 per metric hun

All classifications of American shoes
pay the maximum duties while their
competitors who ship into France tar
if. The consequence is that American
shoes, although they amount to about
Z per cent of the French shoe imports,
make their way under heavy handi-
cap. 1t is probable that if American
footwear were admitted at the same
duty as English made footwear the
United States would be able to take
the whole French market for foreign
made shoes, or almost the whole OF 1t.
The details of French discrimina-
ton against American products made
a long list and besides specific adj
verse treatment in the custom houses
on goods imported direct from the
United States sur taxes are laid up
pom imports direct from America
which find their way to France by way
of other countries. The object of these
sur taxes is to compel the importation
of American goods in steamships run
ming to French ports.
All these determinations, however,
apply only to about one-fifth OF the
imports from the United States, the
remaining four-tifts being either raw
materials such as cotton, copper. pc
troleum or manufactured articles that
are guaranteed equitable treatment
by existing commercial agreements.
