APPLEBY FOR SUBSTITUTE
To COPPER MEASURE
By GEORGE Ii. MANNING
washington Correspondent of The
Perth AmhOy Evening NewS.O

Perth Amboy Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, FeD. 81 With
he Capper bill, amending the fed
eral reserve act to allow a large per.
centage OF profits % be paid to
member banks as dividends, now
before the House banking and cur
rency committee, Representative I
Frank Appleby of New Jersey, Is en-
| deavoring to secure a substitution OF
bill introduced by hIm last year
in place of part Of Senator Cappers
bill.
The Capper bill, which is n OF
the farmer-relief bills just passed by
the senate, contains a section
amending the federal reserve act
This section provides that, in ad-
dition to the 8 per cent dividend
now received by members of the
system, an extra dividend not to ex-
coed 3 per cent, shall be paid when
the profits exceed IL per cent.
Some time ago Mr.. Appleby intro
duced a bill increasing the dividend
from 8 to s per cent, Governor
Harding of the federal reserve sys-
tenn, objected to this on the ground
that an 8 per cent dividend might
lot always be warranted in short
years. To this defect, Mr..
Appleby offered a second bill, this
time providing that after payment
of the regular dividend and the re-
quired amounts into the surplus
funds, all profits in excess of 10 per
cent, should be divided equally be-
tween the member banks and the
United States treasury.

SCHOOL BILL
NOW PROBLEM
What interests Are Backing
Dater's Measure is Ques-
ton Asked

TRENTON, Feb. 5.-What inter
ests are backing the bill introduced
by Assemblyman John Y. Dater to
do away with the State Board of
Education and place it's powers In
the hands of the commissioner?
This is a question that John P.
Murray, member of the State Board
of Education from Jersey City ask
ed State Commissioner of Education
John Enright here at the regular
meeting of the body Saturday after
noon. BY implication at least, Mr..
Murray charged that Mr.. Enright
vas more than interested in the
measure and was grasping for that
great power that now is administer
ed by the state board.
IF the legislature thinks we are
inefficient" declared Mr.. Murray,
they a pas a resolution asking
The members of the state board for
their designations. II the legislators
are manly that is the course they
will pursue in preference to the sub
terranean method now being en-
ployed."
Commissioner Enright was also
the target for criticism when the
Jersey City board member revealed
to the rest of the members the fact
that the commissioner is now hold
ing two jobs, both from which he
receives compensation.
Mr.. Murray said that fact was
called to his attention during the
past week and he did not know
whether it was true or not.
I'm going to ask that question
direct and right now in plain
words" said Mr.. Murray facing Mr.,
Enright. care you at the present
time holding two jobs and receiv-
ing compensation therefrom? I ask
you Is it the truth or 1t is an un-
truth ?"
1T is true" was the answer of
the commissioner.
Mr.. Enright declared that In al
dition to his position as commits
sioner of education at a yearly SAL
ary of $4,000. he as secretary of
the State Teachers Pesion Fund re-
ce1Ved an annual salary of $4,000.
He added that the salary has only
been attached to the position during
the past two years and that he was
serving only at the request Of the
Board of Trustees of that fund.
VII murray then spoke at length
declaring that as long as he hes
been a member Of the State Board
of Education it has been the policy
Of that body to oppose any person
aff1liated with the state school sys-
tenn to hold down two jobs at the
same time. The Jersey City man
recfted a recent case when a Mon
mouth county teacher was refused
appointment to a certain position
by the state board because she
held n job.
Commissioner Murray denounced
the action of Mr.. Enright in holding
the two positions because it wal
setting a bad example to the teach
ers and because it was in direct
conflict with the policy Of the state
board He also told the commission
er that his duties were So extensive
In his position as state commission
er to require his entire time.
After discussion lasting for more
than twenty minutes Mr.. Murray in
a resolution which, if pass
ed, would have put the State Board
OF Education on record as oppos-
ing the action of Mr.. Enright in
occupying the pair of Jobs. How
ever no one eve seconded the
measure and 1t was not acted upon,

FOREST EXHAUSTION
BRINGS HIGH PRICES

Denver, Colo, May 21, 1923:
Lumber production in the United
States has been steadily decreasing
for 13 ears, and this in the face of
a need unparalleled in the history of
the country. According to a bulle-
tin just published by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture, of 81 east
ern and southern lumber producing
states, SO showed a decreased cut
and only one a slight increase in
1920; while Pacific Slope States all
report substantial increases, show
ing that the center of Production is
shifting to the Western States, the
last of our softwood reserves.
Thirty years ago after the depict
ion of New York and Pennsylvania
white pine sections, the American
lumber market was drawing its sup
ply from the Great Lakes States.
When the source in those sections
became exhausted and the forests
no longer able to supply the demand
or furnish enough to keep the mills
in operation, the industry moved to
the Southern Yellow Pine region,
and is rapidly duplicating the same
procedure there. The inevitable re-
suit follows that within the near flu
ture we shall be wholly dependent
upon this reserve of all purpose
softwcods, the Pacific Slope. Not
only is this the only remaining do
nestle source of softwoods, but a
recent survey of the worlds supply
of this commodity discloses the fact
that there are no foreign forests of
this character that we may draw up
on when our own are exhausted.
These figures and facts suggest
several questions that touch the wei
fare of every individual in our grow
ing population. What will be the
effect when our timber is gone?
What will be the several stages of
adjustment? What steps should be
taken to meet the national needs?
What is being done in this respect?
The average rate of decrease over
the last IS years has been about
. per cent per year. The figures for
1920 are about 81 per cent lower
than the high production peak that
was reached in 1907, when we pro
duced about 46 billion feet. We
have passed the high point and the
present tendency downward is per
manent. Since this is the case there
must be some active steps taken to
insure permanent local sources of
timber for the future.
The bulletin just published dis
cusses this problem with great clear
ness and sets forth figures based on
facts. The material presented In
this bulletin is of supreme import
ance in considering the attitude that
shall be taken toward our remain
ing timber This attitude
must be the reflection OF public opin-
ion. For this reason the bulletin is
available for general distribution.
that the public may have the opport-
unity of familiarizingl themselves
with the developments of the past
decade and may understand the vi

junct to continued prosperity.
