MINNESOTA SENATOR
AGAINST HIGH TARIFF
Senator Nelson Compares FOrdncy
Tariff Bill to "A Kicking Gum

Disapproval of the Fordney Tariff
bill was voiced by Senator Nelson
(Rep., MIMI along the same line of
Democratic opposition that in order
to buy our goods Europe must havee
chance to sell her own. Among
other things the veteran Republican
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee said
1--WE are anxious to build up trade
and commerce with Europe. We are
all anxious to have a market for cur
products. and to get paid for those
products either In cash or in valid
securities. But, Mr.. President, mere
is one question that stares me in
the face: With those devastated coun-
tries of Europe rendered almost help
less by the Great War. financially
embarrassed, and seeking gradually
to rehabilitate themselves, how can
we hope that those people will have
any money to buy our goods unless
we give them little chance to sci
their own products in this country?
To my mind, there ever was more
critical time for preparing a tarin
bill in this country than there is
now
"S'nce the days of the Civil War
economic and financial conditions In
Europe never have been as they are
today; and if you proceed with a
tariff bill along the old lines, as the
situation was when everything was
booming and in good order in Europe
I fear it will be like kicking gun.
Therefore, in view of these facts,
/ think the committee on finances, In
framing the tariff bill, ought to take
into consideration the question have
in this brief manner suggested.
think it is very important that they
should bear in mind, when they frame
the tariff bill, that they must leave
an opening, a door. for the farmers
of this country to get in and obtain
some protection"

days in Olympia to be destroyed by

morning when a small frame building
on Main street, corner of Twelfth,

ernor of Washington, was burned.
The house, which contained eight
rooms, had just been vacated and
was about to be moved of the ground
which is part Of the capitol park.
The state recently sold 1t to J. D.
Mansfield who transferred 1t yester-
day to Adolph Schmidt for 800.
The house was not insured.
Origin Unknown
The origin of the fire is not known.
The rear of the structure was badly
burned, the house being damaged be-
yond repair. The blaze gave the fire
department two-hour battle.

FINALLY SECURES WITHDRAWAL
OF S0CKEYE-SALM TREATY
Receives Announcement This Morning from Senator Jones
That President Harding Will Heed Protest Of
Of Washington State

standing directly between those two
commonwealth and particularly
without the Necessity of q treaty
which would take the control Of the
fisheries of this state out Of state
hands.
Code Provides Legal Machinery
The pending approval Of the SOCK
eye salmon treaty was one of the
things which caused Governor Hart's
hurried trip to the national capital
several weeks ago while attending
the Western governors conference at
Denver, Colorado. The necessary
legal machinery to deal with the
sockeye salmon question was pro-
vided by the civil administrative
code, passed by the 1921 session Of
the legislature, and sponsored by
Governor Hart, which created the
state fisheries board, clothed with
absolute power to say how. when and
where fishing operations may be car
ried on in the state of Washington.
One Of the strong reasons for the
creation of the state fisheries board
was the power vested in 1t to deal
with the sockeye question and OBJ
viate the necessity of an international
treaty which would take the control
OF the more valuable fishing grounds
in this state out Of the states hands
and place them in the hands of the
federal government, which would
function through the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, and the Ca
madam government.

Conditions in Western Washington

The fire situation in Eastern
Washington is still very bad though
not a great deal of valuable timber

Pape, state supervisor of forestry,
said ON his return from the north
eastern part of the state where he
has been for the past ten days.
In Stevens, Pend Oreille and Spo-
kane counties the fires have burned
steadily and, spread by the high
winds which have come up every
afternoon, have defied the usual
methods of firefighting; sparks be-
ing carried over trenches to start
fresh fires in the timber beyond.
boundary Fire Menacing
What has been known as the
boundary fire, in northern Stevens
county, has become an international
affair, having spread across the bor-
der into Britiah Columbia. Forest

efforts. The fire has not reached
any big timber as yet. but is burning
in very heavy growth of small tim
ber and will ultimately reach the
larger timber If the spread continues.
The month of July was the hot
test in 80 years in the regions where
the fires are raging, Mr.. Pape re-

IQe long uSut CdTTIoO Ou ny dOV-
ernor Louis F. Hart to secure the
withdrawal of the so-called Sockeye
Salmon treaty would seem to have
been practically terminated by the
announcement from Washington, D.
c., received by the governor this
morning from Senator Wesley l..
Jones in which the senator states that
President Harding will withdraw the
salmon treaty today. Many tele-
grams have gone back and forth be-
tween the executive ofices OF the
state of Washington and Secretary Of
State Charles E. Hughes in the last
few days.
The telegram which brought final
action by the president for the with
drawal of the treaty was an answer
by Governor Hart to the secretary Of
state on August 11th in which the
governor stated that Ratification OF
the sockeye salmon treaty is q con-
fiscation of all of our salmon fish
cries and any amendment Or change
in the proposed treaty would grant
no relief. II this treaty is ratified
It simply means the abandonment Of
the fisheries in the waters of Puget
Sound.
Treaty Must Be Withdrawn
'Unless the treaty is withdrawn
within a few days it will take twelve
years to reestablish the run of sal
mon in our waters as the British Co.
'lumbia authorities will not act so
long as this treaty is pending. 1t Is
useless to repeat the statements OF
the British ambassador that British
Columbia cannot act. It has done so
for several years and will gladly re-
sumo functioning II this treaty is
withdrawn or fails of ratification.
This telegram was sent in response
to telegram from the secretary OF
state asking II the governor desired
to submit suggestions for an amend
ment to the pending treaty. Follow
ing Governor Hart's refusal to sub
NIT suggestions for an amendment
to the treaty, Secretary Hughes re-
piled that he was recommending TO
the president the withdrawal Of the
sockeye-salmon treaty and suggesting
to the president that it be made the
subject of further negotiations by the
high commissions of the British Co.
lumbia and American governments to
the end that the features objection
able to the state of Washington be
eliminated and a new treaty drawn
which will recognize the right OF the
state Of Washington to legislate to
make effective agreements which may
be arrived at with the Canadian gov
ernment or the provincial govern
ment of British Columbia.
On receipt OF The telegram from
Secretary Hughes announcing his
recommending of the withdrawal,
Governor Hart wired United States
Senator Wesley l.. Jones urging that
citizen of the state Of Washington
be placed upon the American high
commission. Governor Hart pointed
cut that this state is the only one OF
forty-eight states in the Union inter-
ested in this treaty, yet in the nego-
tiations extending over sixteen years,
Washington has never been permitted
to have a representative on the
American commission.
Throughout his efforts to. secure
the withdrawal Of the treaty, Cover
nor Hart took the position that as
tn sockeye salmon question affected
only the province of British Columbia
and the state OF Washington. 1t Is
one that can be handled by an under
