DEFENDS EXPORT
TAX ON PULPWOOD
Canadian Scores Protest of
American Publishers as
Propaganda.

ny ~he --hsotialtu L ItsS
MONTREAL February 3.-Edward
Beck. secretary of the Canadian Pulp
and Paper Association, yesterday de-
Tended a proposed special tax on all
pulpwood expectation and branded
as propaganda" the recent protest
filed with Chairman Borah of the
Senate foreign relations committee at
Washington by the National Publish
erS' Association.
The American publishers he said at
a luncheon of the Canadian Pulpweod
Association, had, with their protest,
taken the initial step to stampede
the public of the United States and
Canada by brandishinE the DOGGY of
International hostility should the
Canadian government undertake to
restrict the expectation of unmanu-
featured pulpwood." Dominion paper
manufacturers have no Interior mo-
tive in their campaign to have the
Canadian government place a, tax on
all expectations, he said, adding:
THE last thing in the world they
desire is to bring ruin upon the
American paper manufa cturers and to
make 1t more difficult for their Amer
lean customers to obtain paper or to
prevent the owners of freehold pulp
wood in Canada from obtaining a
fair American price for their wood.
Depletion of Resources.
"On the other hand, they view with
great alarm the rapid depletion OF
the pulpwood resources of Canada
and believe that the time has arrived
when these should be conserved for
the benefit of the Canadian people
and the continued existence of the
paper industries of this country"
Ralph Bell of Halifax and Angus
MacLean of Bathurst, New Bruins
wick, said they did not favor an en-
barge. Such a move, Mr.. Bell said
would impair the market for the
small holder of the woodlands, while
benefiting no one except Canadian
pulp and paper interests, which
would be able to buy in a non-com-
petitive market at their own prices
Mr. MacLean contended that impo-
sition Of an export tax would be, in
effect, an embargo, (which would
work an injustice to the maritime
provinces, and the private owners
would be at a great disadvantage il
deprived of the United States mar
ket."

CIVIL SERVICE BAR TO
GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIENCY

The average employe of the local.
state or national government does
not labor as earnestly as the private
employee under the eye of his en-
ployer, according to DR.. Hubert Work
secretary of the Interior, and this is
the reason for the statement that the
government only gets sixty cents
worth of value for every dollar ex-
pended for public improvement. In
speaking at Cincinnati, recently, on
the subject of road improvement,
Secretary Work said:
at has frequently been stated
that the government gets only sixty
cents for every dollar it spends fo.'
given for this is that employees VIII
not work as diligently for munich
pality, a county, a state, or the ma
tlonal government, as for private
employers under the EYE of the mas
ter 1t is also maintained that en-
ployes, particularly under the nation
al government, are cloaked with
Civil service protection and are not
required to exercise individual init
ative or personal enterprise. With
employees in private business a diff
ferent situation exists"

A NEW SUGGESTION

The New York World, ardent advo-
cate of the EMERY of the United States
into the League of Nations, and in
to the League Court without reser-
vations, or with as few as possible
suggests editorially that, since the
French debt conference at Wash
ington broke down, the whole ques-
ton of our debt to France, be re-
ferred to an impartial tribunal for
settlement. That the United States
accept what this tribunal recon-
mends, as payment for the debt, and
that France agree to pay the sum
named
Statesmen opposed to the EMERY
of the United States into the League
Court are declaring that this is the
opening gun of drive to throw the
debt question into the League Court
for adjudication. They are declaring
that this is another reason why the
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1925-10-15

United States should not adhere to
the court. 1t is their belief that in
regard to the debt question there are
but two schools Of thought, the Amer
lean School which demands a fair
payment, and the European school
which il interested in sending as
little money as possible to America.
These statesmen declare further
that in any tribunal, League Court
or otherwise, in which European
membership predominated, Uncle
Sam would get scant consideration
for his debts, and they cite this as
another reason why he should stay
on this side Of the Atlantic.
Those opposed to the entry of AM
erica into the court declare also that
the temporary breakdown of the debt
nations here has strengthened. the
hands of the irreconcilables, and hurt
the chances of the United States adj
herring to the court.
Whether or not their predictions
are true remains to be seen, but 1T rs
at least certain that there will be an
interesting struggle over our inter-
national relations in the Senate when
Congress convenes, and one which
may become as memorial as the fight
over the League of Nations.

TODAY IN WEST VIRGINIA
By E. f. MEREDITH.

The greatest compliment ever paid
secret order in the history of West
Virginia, and possibly, in the entire
country was when the Fairmont Trust
Company offered to cash checks Of
visiting Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
at the state meeting in Fairmont
this week without Identification. The
high standing of Odd Fellows and Re
bekais is generally conceded. Indi-
vidually the members of all |. o. o..
f. orders are recognized as honest
folks but when bank comes out and
offers to cash the checks of all men,
bers of the order it is tribute to Odd
Fellowship which is unique. The
visitors ia Fairmont who stand high
in Odd Fellow circles and attend
meetings of the sovereign grand
lodge and the West Virginia grand
lodge commented at length on this
and felt that it was an appreciation
of Odd Fellows which deserves to go
down in history.
Judge George A. Vincent says:
"Odd Fellowship, is a moral, not
religious organization. The re-
ligeous world is divided into many
sects, each intent upon the promotion
of its peculiar plans and interests,
and Of consequence wanting in that
unity of action so essential in every
secular institution to the securement
of those great results which illus
trate the triumph of benevolence and
charity. This want is, in a degree
met by the employment of an agency
not amenable to such disability,
and in which many sects and creeds
may cordially cooperate and labor,
upon a. common ground, for the re-
lief of human suffering. Such an in
stitution is Odd Fellowship. 1t does
not array itself against the church,
nor presume to arrogate its functions,
or to supervise its teachings. It's
lodges are not the council rooms of
enmity to religious, civil, moral or
social organizations. Far otherwise;
all it's oracles and instructions in re-
lation to these grave subjects find
their warrant and authority in the
divine law, under the inspiration of
which it proclaims the golden rule as
the sublimest illustration of the law
of love"
