,o00os ....... .... a va1,Jrslsl ill ms TARIFF BILL LAST ELECTION PROVED PUBLIC DEMAND FOR PROTECTIVE TARIFF Washington, July 8.--The house got under way today in its consider- ation of the Fordney tariff bill. Fol- lowing reading of the bill, Chairman Fordney of the ways and means com- mittee in a speech of nearly two hours, developed the first phase of the Republican argument. Criticis- ing the position of the Democrats, Mr. Fordney said they had accused the Republicans of drafting a meas- ure which would &apos;cut off, rather than encourage trade when the cardinal pol- icy of his committee had been to build a set of Schedules which would restore commerce and industry to health. The committee's work always was actuated, he declared, by the knowledge that business now was in a slump and should be given protec- tion which would save it from the in- roads of foreign competition. Compromises necessarily have been put in: the bill, the speaker said, add- ing that all such contested points would be put before the house for its approval or rejection. At any rate, he informed the house, the committee did the best job of which it was cap- able and he was willing to stand be- hind it to the finish. The last election influenced the Republicans in the house to launch into tariff legislation, according to Mr. Fordney. He said he believed the people knew when .they had what they wanted or (lid not want, and that the overwhelming majority last fall was witness that the people were rongly for protection. RASPBERRIES HAVE CANE GALL Supervisor Robinson of the horti- cultural division of the state depart- rnent of agriculture reports that cane gall has nade its appearance on Cuthbert raspberries in various parts of Western Washington, the canes being affected both above and below ground. The only treatment is to cut out and burn every infected cane at once. In every instance the history of the infected canes show that they have come from nursery stock which has never been inspected. The habit of getting stock from other growers, without inspection, is responsible for the spreading of many diseases af- fecting fruit. The ony safe why is to insist on having nore but nursery stock that has undergone thorough inspection by the district horticul- tural inspector. i ' HARSTINE 1 • :* , .:.

LU31BERMLN COMPARED WITH THE FARMERS If a sane man could show 'other sane men how by spending $4 or $5 annually they could create an annam raceme of $150 he would have li{tle trou[' in incresting invesi,)vs. It must be long rows of ciphers on the end of his figures that prevent the umber and timber owners from grasping and putting into execution the plans outlined by Prof. Burt P. Kirktand of the university forestry department. Prof. Kirkland in the Forest Club Annual, under the heading "Land De- velopment in Westm Washington," says there are approximately 12,000,- 000 acres of land in forests and suit- able for reforestation in Western Washington. That is not crowding the agricultural interests--it is giv- ing.them 3,000,000 acres, scarce a I fourth of which is yet under culti- [ration. He estimates that a cost of [under $500,000 annually the present I cut  timber need never be diminish- ii ed, and that the annual stumpage cre- ated would amount to over $15,000,- 000. Prof. Kirkland very frankly puts it up to the timber interests. He points out to them that the farmer "given even a 'fair market for his product will develop his plant un- aided by subsidy of any kind." He proves by government statistics that the farmer is doing that veIT thing in Western Washington at the rate of about $5,000,000 a year, and that he is doing it from a business the gross returns from which is 20 to 30 millions annually, and suggests, if the farmer can do that, the lumber- men can surely spend from $400,000 to $500,000 annually for the develop- ment of their plant from a gross in- come of nearer 80 millions. We are not going to quote more of Prof. Kirkland's article. We want timber and stump land owners to read it for themselves. It seems to The Vidette he points out a way to perpetuate the lumber industry, and to perpetuate he fortunes yet to be won from lumber--a surer way, in- deed, than the men we now envy when th'ey 'began to purchase timber 30 or 40 years ago. Timber .products are becoming more ;aluable evm'/year.

"When tie Code had been passed by the almost unanimous vote of the legislature and the emergency clause had been upheld by the Supreme Court, the Appropriation Committee of the Legislature cut from the ap- propriation bill items of administra- tive expense aggregating $610,000. This represents the initial saving the Code made for the State and the taxpayers. MiStakes Incident to Haste "The Code has been in operation less than four months. From the time of its final enactment until the date of its inauguration less than a month remained, in which to reorgan- ize and rearrange the entire adminis- trative f0rces of the State. Directors had to be selected for the ten depart- ments the Code had created and sub- ordinates had to be chosen. It is al- leged in some quarters now that mis- takes have been made both in person- nel and other directions. That is pos- sible. It would be strange-if perfec- tion should have been achieved over- night. Some errors have been correct- ed and others will be as time and ex- perience develop them. "The Code took some 77 bureaus and commisisons, all dealing with ex- ecutive administration, classified them into ten main departments, and centralized control and direction, with the idea of eliminating waste and providing better and more efficient service at less cost. Centralization as an essential in lowered cost and greater efficiency is axiomatic. Some criticism has been made be- cause there are nearly as many em- ployees at .Olympia as under the old order "of things---but the fact is over- looked that nearly one hundred era- employees with offices or headquar- ters located elsewhere about the State have been eliminated, which means a saving to the State in wages, rent and office expense of approximately one hundred thousand dollars a year. The Governor's Automobile • " .... • , - 0 0;Th3 r Leg] s laatol:l o%P pc ° Parldat a pIpg: nance for the Governor. The kind of a car to be selected was a matter of individual taste. If Governor Lister chose a Cadillac, I chose a Packard, some other might choose a Fordit is a matter of personal choice." Last year California had 325 state- owned automobiles, Oregon 155, Washington, 147, and now this state has 159, of which 121 are Fords. g The Governor referred to the $1,.o0- :pair Of high-top boots" bought for use in visiting the storm zone of the Olympic peninsula, and hehl it was a necessary expense. However, he ad- mitted the spending of $.450 for en- graved Christmas cards, though fol lowing the practice Of fol;mer govq; nots, was hardly justifiable and would not be repeated. He also de, nied that lie now hld any interes in the Jones, Hart companv, which wrote a number of bonds' for state officials, and explained the wrecking of certain rooms in the new state building as necessary to build a safe vault for the keeping of valuable state securities; Other Charges Trivial. Except to claim credit for devising the plan and putting it into execu, tion for reorganizing the ,Scandina, vian American Bank of Seattle and protecting the depositors without call- ing upon the state guaranty fund, Governor Hart did not refer to any of the other charges which have been made reflecting on the state admin- istration, and in closing, said: "Open as I always am to the coun- sel and advice of public minded citi- zens, yet let it be remembered that final decision in the State Adminis- tration rests with the Governor and n these he must be guided by his :onscience. He alone is respo{sible, as he ought to be, for those who serve under him, and that being true he can not--and I shall not---shift that re- sponsibility to any one." , O&.TT- ]0, SIDS TO  TOZG]['Z ]1,0 a'n.

AUTO TIRE FAVORS WILL BE STOPPED Statehouse gossip, of which there is an unusually abundant 'crop this year, has had it that Ed Meath, for- mar state treasurer, has been selling the state all the automobile tires it buys, Ed beinga renresentative of] the Sound.

Nobody but the man who i buys tires for the state knowg howl many Ed has sold, or whether his l I firm has actually been favored on the ground that it is a state industry, or for any reason. ._ W]mtever may have been the case, it is going to be different hereafter as the department of business con- trol has called for bids to supply state tires, not only for the state capitol fleet of cars, but for those operated at state institutions as well.
