BIG INFLUENCE BY
LUMBER INDUSTRY
Is First in Number of Employees and
Second in Invested Capital.

WASHINGTON Jan. 27.-Lumber
and wood using industries in the
United States represent an investment
Of $12,000.000.000 and employ approx
imately one million people, being first
among the nations industries in the
number OF employees and second in in
vested capital and in the annual value
Of their products, according to an esti-
mate recently made by Frederick J,
Hasl<in, the well known writer and
economic authority. Other students
differ somewhat in the arrangement
Of these estimates but no one doubts
that next to agriculture, the lumbe
and wood-using groups most vitality
influence our national life. And shar-
ing with agriculture the fact that their
products are heavy, bulky and of
prime necessity wherever men live,
lumber and the wood using Industries
are absolutely dependent upon the ele-
ment of transportation as affecting the
cost of their products to consumers.
Within the past few months there
has been a spontaneous and nation
wide demand for a reduction in freight
rates upon the products of the soil and
Tor the OLnef IunuaTnenLal require
ments of the public. including Jumbo
and wood products. Lumbermen de-
clare that the chief element in the cost
of building materials is freight. Tht
nation is waiting to start upon a pro-
gram of home building but in many
places builders declare that freighi
rates have enhanced material costs to
prohibitive levels.
At a conference of shippers in
Washington December IA, last, a gen
eral committee was appointed to pre-
sent the matter to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and hearings be-
fore that tribunal are being held this
week in Washington. Uniting with
lumber are representatives of such or
CARNATIONS as the American Farm
Bureau, Ohio State Industrial League
American Association Of Nurserymen
National Gamers Association. Illinois
Dairymen's Association, etc. It is ex
pected that the results of the hearing
will be made public within the mex.
few weeks.

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

VI ESiNSF AGCs
Oh, wonderful stream is the River OIL
Time.
AS it flows through the realm OF
tears.
With fauluess rythm and a musical
rhyme,
And a broad'ning sweep and q surge
sublime
AS it blends with the Ocean of Years.
How the winters are drifting like
flakes of snow,
With the summers like buds be-
tween,
And the years in their sheaves-how
they come and they go
On the rivers breast. with it's ebb and
flow,
AS it glides in the shadow and sheen!
There's a Magical isle up the River of
Time,
Where the softest of airs are plyin:
There's a eloudless sky and tropical
CLINE,
There's song as sweet as vesper's
chime
And the Junes with the roses are
straying.
And the name of the isle is the Long
Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
here are brows of beauty and bosoms
OF snow;
there are heaps of dust!-Oh. we
loved them SO!
There are trinkets and tresses of
hair.
here's fragment OF song that no
body sings,
And a part of an infants prayer;
here's a flute unswept and a harp
without tsrings,
here We're broken vows and pieces OF
rings.
And the fragrance she used to wear
there are hands that are waved when
the fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the
turbulent roar
Sweet voices he heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river is
fair.
oh, remember for aye be that beauti-
full isle
All the day OF life until night.
md when evening comes with her
beautified smile,
Nnd our eyes are closing to slumber
awhile,
May that Greenwood" OF souls be
in sight!

METHODIST QUOTA
NOT YET REACHED
Fund for Support of Schools Main
tanned by Schools Must Be
Pledged Soon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-If
southern Methodists are going to sub
scribe in fun the amount asked for in
the late drive for Christian education,
whereby $50 100000 was asked for the
support and enlargement of the 81
schools and colleges maintained by
Methodist Episcopal church, south, the
amount which the funds lacks of com
pletion must be pledged before May,
1922, according to Methodist leaders
here.
Or. StonewaIl Anderson, secretary
Of the board of education, which fos-
tered the intensive campaign. is of
the opinion that Southern Methodists
will complete the great task, and that
when general conference the supreme
authority Of the church, convenes in
May for its quadrennial meeting, the
financial objective Of the Christian ed
ucation movement win be in sight.
Although the $33000.000 fund lacks
S12, 000, 600 Of attainment, It Is said
the southern Methodlsts are greatly
gratified at the result of the Christian
education movement. Other detectives
included in the movement were mo e
than realized, notable among these be-
ing the enlistment of 5000 young peo-
pie for various types of Christian
service within the jurisdiction OF the
Methodist Episcopal church. south. DR..

OF the movement. In a recent report
states that the 5000 goal has long
since been passed and the number OF
enrollments Is approaching the 5000

all previous records of any denomina-
ton for volunteers for Christian serY
ice.
Another pleasing result of the move
ment Is the new spirit and attitude of
the church toward Christian educa :
ton, it is said. College presidents re-
port their institutions crowded to ca
pacity and hundreds being turned
away for lack Of accommodations.
Regarding the financial status of the
movement, leaders claim that the
pledging of more than s20,o00.000 for
Christian education in the face of de-
moralized business conditions through
out the territory of the church was a
truly remarkable achievement, and
they are confident that the whole
amount asked for viii yet be raised.
Owing to the economic stress at the
time the financial drive was launched
many churches have not yet made the
every-member canvass for pledges,
with mind to work, coupled with
faith and hope and courage, we shall
yet do this thing" said DIR. Anderson

BUILDERS EXCHANGE
PROF OSE CUE In WAGES

At a recent meeting of the Pensa-
cola Builders Exchange it was de-
cided to bring about a reduction in the
wages of brickmasons and plasterers
which will correspond to reduction in
other trades, such as carpenters, paint
ers and laborers. The new scale will
Ibe at so cents per hour. and the ex-
change made this reduction in order
to aid in stimulating the building
business in the city. With this item
and the general tendency of building
materials to drop it is hoped that at
no distant date the construction bust
ness here viii be booming again.

BLIZZARD AND THE
SHANTUNG MATTER
BLOCKS CONFERENCE
Yet Confident That Conference
Issues VIII Be Carried
Forward to Solution.
CHINESE PROBLEM MAY
BECOME DIFFICULT ONE
Shantung Question Awaits Me-
diatory Effort of President
to Have Its Effect.
icy Tho Associated Press,

WASHINGTON Jan, 2s-The Shan
tung tie up and the near blizzard that
paralyzed traffic and communication
in washington combined to again
block the progress of the arms confer
ence today. but the delay did not dim
prevailing confidence that all the con-
ference issues soon would be carried
forward to solution.
SO far as Shantung was concerned,
# was wholly day of waiting for the
mediatory effort OF President Harding
70 have it's effect at Picking and Toxic.
All indications pointed to a decision
early next week, and all the delegates
appeared confident that the decision
would be for a settlement along the
lines of the compromise supported by
the president.
Both OF the meetings planned for to-
day by subdivisions Of the conference
were cancelled because OF the storm,
the delegates deciding it was imprac-
ticable to attempt TO pillow their way
through the snow to their committee
rooms. One Of these meetings was TO
have brought the Japanese and Chin
csc delegations together TO begin draft
ing a Shantung treaty, and the other
was proposed session of the sub
committee considering the Chinese
eastern railway
The postponed Japanese Chinese meet
ing, ii was explained, had nothing TO do
with the Tsingtao- Tsinanfu Railroad issue
over which the Shantung negotiations are
deadlooked, but merely was to have put
into treaty language the agreements al
ready reached on collateral subjects. IL
was said this work could be delayed until
Monday without delaying the final wind
up OF tho negotiations, since experts on
both groups were busy on their own ac-
count getting the treaty text into shal e.
In the Chinese eastern railway dis
cussions which are apart Of the Far East
ern committee negotiations differences OF
view have developed which In any case
seem likely TO delay decision for several
days while the various powers fully de-
tormine their respective attitudes The
Chinese have objected to the plan Of
international financing for the road,
worked out by n group Of experts and
also to the proposal for policing the line
with japanese guards.
II was said tonight that the Chinese
eastern problem might become one OF
the most difficult OF the lesser issues Of
the conference, because Of the situation
OF the road. partly In Siberian and partly
in Chinese territory. The present system
Of administration by an inter-allied board
seems certain to be perpetuated, but the
financing and policing proposals far from
settlement.

To The Taxpayers
OF Pensacola

The Executive Committee of the mass
meeting held at the Court House January
18th, asks your careful perusal and considera-
ton of what follows:
WE CHARGE that Commission Govern
ment, as conducted during period of over 8
years, has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting; has been tried in the public
forum and found GUILTY of the crime of
failure to administer our Municipal Business
with judgment and economy.
In spite of the fact that the total Tax AS
sessnlent during the past eight years has in
creased nearly million dollars, the millage
instead of being reduced in proportion as the
assessment rolls have increased, has increased
on an average of one mill each year, or, from
thirteen (13) mills in 1913 to twenty-one cd
mills in 1921. The bonded and floating debt
has increased in the same period something
like 1886, 900.
This debt has been increased by the very
simple fact that the City has spent the public
money very greatly in excess of it's revenues.
To meet this growing deficit money has been
borrowed from year to year. these loans grow
ing successfully with each year, the City
Hedging unpaid tax certificates as collateral
The volume of these unpaid taxes is growing
larger and larger each year, because tax
payers are increasingly reluctant or unable
of these Tax Certificates is bound to decrease
as their number and amount increase, and at
this rate of decrease in their value, banks or
other money lenders will regard them as
doubtful collateral. And when that happens,
what will the City borrow on?
DID YOU KNOW: ....
That there was a loss in the WATER
WORKS OPERATIONS during the last two
years of over SIS, 000 that there was WASTE
in water pumped during last year alone Of
$40 MILLIONS OF GALLONS =? You cannot
escape paying your part of these losses.
That there was nearly 100000 dropped
in negotiating the 100000 Dock Bonds?
That the FLOATING LIABILITIES alone
are over 100000?
That it is costing US, outside of Paving,
Sewering and other extraordinary expenses
over S415, 900 year for just current expenses?
Does this not look like BAD MANAGE
MENT, POOR SYSTEM, and GROSS IN
EFFICIENCY?
If the City gets to the point where it can
not pay it's way it will sooner or later default
on it's bonds. And when that happens, each
one of you property owners will hear from the
bond holders to whom the taxable value of
your property is irrevocably pledged to meet
principle and interest of the bonds.
We further charge that this Commission
Government as it has been conducted for 8
years is not democratic, is not representative
that the wishes of the people are fouted de-
fed ignored. Let US give you few in
stances:
Q) In 1915 you wanted audt-asked for it. Did you
get Yes but only by direction and command of Governor
Park Trammell

command of Governor Sydney Cats.

selves provided the Charter when the Commissioners
