:. NEW YORK. October 30.-The third
statement of the series prepared by
John W. Davis, Democratic candidate
for President, for the purpose of sum
; ming up outstanding campaign issues
q was made public today. 1t was con-
fined exclusively to a discussion of
the Fordney- y-McCumber tariff bill,
which the candidate has declared will
be rewritten if he is elected and is
given the support of a Democratic
Congress.
In renewing his promise for lower
r schedules, Mr.. Davis made it clear
; that he harbored no resentment to-
!, ward legitimate business fairly con-
Quoted, but would withdraw the invi-
tation extended in the form of eXorbi-
- tant rates of duty. to profit through
monopoliStic control of production,
markets and prices"
"PubIic Must Pay"
The statement follows, in part:
81 believe that the Fordney Nc
Cumber bill is bitterly wrong. Those
who profit by it are enjoying an un-
just eXaction. The owners of a few
industries may enjoy undue prosper
ity, but the public at large must pay
the bill and | do not believe that
there can be permanent prosperity
direct and indirect is for the benefit
of all the people and not for a favored
few.
The Fordney- -McCumber bill was
both fence and an offense. 1t was
a fence against normal trade with
other nations and it was a grievous
OffenSe against every consumer in the
United States, and especially against
the farmers who were left outside
the scope of its apparent benefits.
1t might have been appropriately en-
titled An act to obstruct our foreign
commerce, to increase the prices OF
what the farmer buys, and to reduce
the price of what he sells
Democratic Tariff Bill.
THE Democratic Underwood-Sim
mons bill was the only tariff since
the Civil War to be passed without
suspicion of unfairness or partiality
Under it industry fiourished and en-
ployment grew. The country enjoyed
an era of prosperity unexcelled in
all its history. There were IA per
cent more men employed in August,
1914, under the Underwood tariff than
there were employed in July, 1924,
under the Fordney bill
THE FOrdney- -McCumber act has
inflicted hardship and sacrifice upon
all the people of the United States,
and has made the burden heaviest for
those least able to bear it.
Pledged to Maintain.
1T is this law that the Republican
administration pledged itself to main
tain. The Democratic party proposes
to reform the tariff by revising down.

TIMBER CONSERVATION.
President Coolidge. Says Consumption
Must BE Reduced.

Must BE Reduced.
At the National Conference on Utili-
, cation of Forest Products held re-
Gently in Washington, President
Coolidge declared the nation faces
timber exhaustion, and the situation
must be met by diminishing waste
and increasing the supply.
About $4,000, 100000 cubic feet
of timber is left in this country he
pointed out and against this supply
there is an annual drain of %, 000,-
100000 cubic feet, while the annual
timber growth is only 5000, 100000
feet. In the face of this situation, he
declared, the nation must turn to the
problem of growing wood from the
soil, like any other crop.
"To bridge this fatal gap between
cut and growth" however, Mr.. Cool
idge said, sufficient action had not
yet been taken, and the country must
consequently adjust itself at once to
a reduced per capita consumption.
The President saw hopeful signs"
in federal legislation as enacted in
the Clark McNary bill passed at the
last session of Congress, making pro-
vision for fire protection and reStora-
ton and in the Weeks law authoriz-
ing government purchase of numer~
Gus forest tracts. These must be
supported he declared, by a policy
which will "in the hands of private
individuals and of public officers,
tend to the further advancement of
this already we'll defined and securely
adopted principle.
so vast an enterprise as the for
est-using industries must not be al
lowed to decline for lack of raw ma
terial," the President continued. 1--WE
have abundant soil to produce it. We
have the energy and the intelligence
to learn to use our forests without
waste. This conference ought to lay
the foundation of far reaching and
effective effort for forest thrift.
THE coming struggle for timber,
economic survival among the forest
industries will depend on economic
fitness Economic fitness will be
measured by good management and
good technical processes. These
qualities come from research and
from training; and the forest indus
tries to reach a high level of skill,
must make a full use of both these
tools of modern industrial progress.
Hitherto the diversity, the geo
graphical isolation and the small
average size of our wood using in
dustries, coupled with abundance of
raw material, have kept them from
advancing as rapidly in improved
methods as some of our more highly
concentrated industries. But timber
shortage will force competition in
better methods.
Much is already known OF better
methods and the time is already here
when this knowledge can be profit
ably employed. Many companies
have in fact made notable progress
in waste reduction and are furnish
ing examples of what can be done by
careful management and expert
planning. 1t seems possible that the
individual industries by banding to-
gether can overcome their handicaps
of isolation and collectively employ
more experts to work out better
processes.
I'VE hold the resources of our
country as trust. They ought to

Teachers salaries are usually paid
monthly or semi-monthly during the
school session, and teachers are ex-
pected to save enough during the
school term to pay their expenses
during the vacation. This usually in
wolves no inconvenience, but oc-
casionally instances of hardship have
occurred as a result of the practice.
An increasing number of cities have
therefore adopted the plan of making
