LUMBER AFFECTED
BY THE NEW RATES
ON RAILROAD FIGHT.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 5.-Every
manufacturer using lumber in his
product, and every person who is
building or contemplates building
with lumber, will be adversely affec.-
ed by the new intra-state freight rates
proposed by the railroads Of Georgia.
il the Railroad Commission allows
the railroads to put them in effect, ac-
cCrding to figures given out by the
Statistical Bureau of the Georgia
Shippers. Association in this city.
The Bureau makes the following
comparison between the present in
translate freight rates on common
lumber in carload lots and the new
rates proposed by the railroads in
their petition now on file before the
Railroad Commission:
The present rate for distance of
Is miles is 1888 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of 8
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of so per cent. Under the present
rate, the cost of shipping a 10000
pound carload of common lumber 25
miles is $1,000. Under the proposed
rate the cost would be $500.
The present rate for a distance OF
80 miles is 4.16 cents per 100 pounds
The railroads propose a rate of SIS
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of Sc per cent. Under the present rate.
the cost of shipping a 10000 pound
carload of common lumber so miles
is $12.4S. Under the proposed new
rate the cost would be $3.50.
The present rate for a distance of
100 miles is 6,25 cents per 100 pounds
The railroads propose a rate of $50
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of Sc per cent. Under the present
rate, the cost of shipping a 10000
pound carload of common lumber 100
miles is $1S.75. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $3.50.
The present rate for a distance of
$50 miles is 1928 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of IL
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
OF so per cent. Under the present rate,
the cost of shipping 10000 pound
carload of common lumber $50 miles
is $21.S7. Under the proposed new
rate the cost would be $4,000.
The present rate for a distance of
200 miles is 1888 cents per 100 pounds
The railroads propose a rate of 1850
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
O. so per cent. Under the present
rate, the cost of shipping 10000
pound carload of common lumber eco
miles is $500. Under the present new
rate the cost would be $3.50.
The present rate for distance of
300 miles is 9.72 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of Il
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
OF 81 per cent. Under the present
rate the cost of shipping 10000 pound
carload of common lumber 300 miles
is $29.16. Under the proposed new
rate the cost would be $500.
AS pointed out by the Bureau, in
creased freight rates on lumber can
not be paid by Georgia manufacturers
Of lumber, who compete with manu-
facturers in other states, and conse-
quently the increased freight rates
will simply be added on to the price
of lumber, so that the consumer of
lumber will pay the freight.

companies. 1t is intended that this
appropriation shall be in addition to
whatever amount may now be appro-
priated for health work.
AS the taxes from life insurance
companies are only small part of the
receipts from insurance as a whole,
each state could easily afford to divert
these funds to the work of health au-
tnorities, according to the Southern
States Life.
For the year ending December 81,
1914, as shown by statistics prepared
by the Southern States Life, the life in
surance companies paid to the states
in taxes the sum of $1O,55O,S37, an
average of $215,329 per state.
In the same time these states appro-
priated to the support of their health
departments 1926, O2O, or an average
eff $70,766 per state. If all CT this life
tax fund could be put out for health
advancement, says Mr. Moore, it would
give fund in most ways adequate to

DOOM IN AUSTRIA.

The volume of Princess Catherine Radziwi1I, entitled ''The Austrian Court From Within is a work of re- Inarkab1e interest at the present time. It aims to be the result of a careful study of German politics for more than 40 years, which has led to the conviction that Austria all through that time has been a pawn in the hands of her powerful neighbor and Is bound in the end to become absorb ed in Germany.
 The Austrian soldier is not a cow H1 d, he is well trained and equipped, and their arrna1ne mt is excellent yet they have never been able to beat their enemies singlehanded. The au- thor attributes this 10 the want of in te1Iigence in the Austrian nation and the inordinate vanity of those who are entrusted with the mission of leading it. It is the same with her states men. The r1isfortunes of Austria are the faults of those who have led her politics for 40 years and have given to them such a false direction that she is a mere satellite of Prussia. At the present moment the Austrians live iu perfect security as to the future. confederation, Germany will set her teeth together and suffer in silence and prepare for revenge, but Austria. will immediately fall to pieces.-Lon- don Globe.

 "Extended intercourse bNtween the leaders of the respective communities mot of their secretaries and em- pIoyes-wouId do more good to foster and augment international commerce than any number of conferences or publications
 we are seeing the extraordinary proportions reached lately in the trade between the two countries; and, although much of it doubtless owes it's existence to war conditions, great part of the vance has been the result of closer personal investi- gation and of the exercise of more vigorous efforts on the part of Ameri- can manufacturers than previously were put forth.
 Still, since my stay in the United States I have seen in the columns of the press an undercurrent of suspic ion and mistrust, with more than one open reference to the necessity for official protection, even by force, for American investors in South Ameri- can countries. Speaking for my own the great and close relations built up by Europe with the Argentine Repub- lie have been established principally on the basis of mutual confidence; and unless the Am ericans are prepared to show the same confidence as has been shown by the financial and mer- cantile communities of Europe"a confidence justified by long experience they had better not waste their time or their money in the effort to capture a larger share of our trade.'

Atlantic City, N. J., June 9-The New York State Bankers association meeting here yesterday, was addressed by Carlos A. Tornquist, of Buenos Aires, who said that American bank CTS might easily obtain in the Argen- tine Republic a great part of the busi- ness hitherto enjoyed there exclusive ly by European institutions.
 Eighteen months ago. he said, ''the dollar exchange was of the most nominal character and practical 1y non-existent in South America To- day, although in it's infancy, it is an established fact. There is no reason why the United States should not be placed on a footing of equality with Europe in relation to Argentine f1- nance and business if the necessary notifications of your Federal banking and trade laws are made on lines which would more largely facilitate banking and commercial operations between the United States and the Ar genuine. For instance, why should not the United States receive a large share of the $25O, 100000 or $30o,O00,0O0 which ordinarily, every year, go into the coffers of European accepting mercial and financial credits?
 These financial credits naturally strengthen the exchange of the coun- try which grants them. Thus, with the increased stab +lity which would be given to American dollar exchange if the Federal Reserve act of this country permitted such operations, trade and other payments on the ba- sis of the dollar exchange would be greatly facilitated, and. as a logical consequence, additional stimulus would be given to the commerce of the two countries.
 Trade Follows Capital.
 ''The experience of the foreign banks in the Argentine Republic has exploded the theory that trade fol- lows the flag The results obtained there show that trade follows capital; and even in these early days of the | investment of American capital in Argentine issues and enterprises there | is ample evidence of the truth and | soundness of the latter theory. But l in order to convert this theory into Il practical form there are other essen Il tials to be considered.
 There must be closer personal con tact between Americans and Argen- tines. I want to see the inaugura.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Financing the trade of the United States
business men with South American mer-
chants is the most important phase in the
present commercial relations between
North and South America The manager
of the foreign department of San Fran
cisco bank thus described the situation
after visit to South America:
Steamship facilities are badly needed
Had it not been for the fact that the United
States placed at the disposal of the COM
mittee of American business men the
cruiser Cleveland it would have been i'm
possible for that committee to visit all the
countries in the time granted Tt would
have taken from six to eight months. While
this shows the need for better steamship
facilities, the South and Central American
republics are chiefly concerned about the
methods which will be adopted by the
United States to finance the new trade
with Latin America This financing has
always been done by London. but it must
now be done by the United States, if this
country is to replace. Great Britain in latin
America. The Central American repub-
lies are keenly alive to the possibility of
opening new financial connections neces-
sary to the expansion of their vast natural
resources. They want market in the
United States for their responsible ma
tional, state and industrial bonds We can
not look for solution until at least part of
the financing in foreign countries is cared

CENSUS OF MEAT-PAcKING

Reports have been received and compiled
in a preliminary statement issued by the
census bureau from 1879 establishments
engaged in slaughtering and meat packing
in 1914, producing products the total value
of which was 81 ,651, 765, 424, or gain of
$296, PC, 1893, or 21.8 per cent over 81, 1885,
544, 49, the value of the output Of 1921 es-
adjustments reporting in 1909.
That the south is not measuring up to its
opportunity in this important industry is
indicated by the fact that out of 1879 estab-
lishments reporting in 1914 only oil are
located in the southern states.
There were slaughtered for food in
wholesale establishments in 1914 Z, 149, 042
beeves, 2,019,0O4 calves, Ii, 1851, 800 sheep,
lambs, goats and kids, and -, Al ,913 hogs,
and in 1909 STA, $50 beeves, 2,504,728
calves, 1925, 725 sheep, lambs, boats and
kids, and 33,870,616 hogs. The figures for
beeves and calves show decreases of 119
per cent and 1914 while, respectively, as
compared with those of 1909, while an in
crease of 1913 per cent appears for sheep,
lambs, goats and kids, and an increase of
II per cent for hogs. These figures do not
include 377, 937 beeves, 243,360 valves,
1888 sheep, lambs, goats and kids. and
2,S9o,994 hogs slaughtered in the estab-
1lshments covered by the census but owned
by other establishments, to which the car
cases were returned for sale
The decline in the number of beeves- and
calves slaughtered, with the corresponding
decrease of 1876 per cent in quantity of
fresh beef pdveal, but increase of 1853 per
cent in value, is attributed in part to the
outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in
the fall of 1914, which resulted in thousands
OF cattle being destroyed to prevent the
spread of the disease.
