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 '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.

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

GOVF2dqOR REPLI00 ,
TO CODE CRITICI00S
(Continued from page 1)
months' operation under the Code.
"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

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.

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." ,

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. Tire Company, a Tacoma
msUtution. 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.
Bids are to be opened July 28. Some
