Mr. Humphrey Shows How Re
port on Lumber Tariff Ig
nored Testimony.
FLAGRANT INSTANCE CITED
Views of Manufacturers Omitted, but
Statement Made That "lumber
men on Coast" Regard Tariff
Effect as Negligible.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May C. Representative Hum
phrey, of Washington- openly charges
the Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Red
field, with deliDerate misrepresenta
tion in the report he sent to Congress
several weeks ago on the condition of
the lumber and shingle industry of
the State of Washington. In that re
port Secretary Redfield said:
"The effect of the removal of the
duty on lumber is almost universally
conceded to be negligible: at least it
Is so considered among the lumber
men on the Pacific Coast."
Source of "Information Not Given
This report of Secretary Redfield was
based on information given him by
several representatives sent by him to
investigate the lumber Industry of the
State of Washington, following Mr.
Humphrey's charge early in the Winter
that many mills had been forced to
close because they could not withstand
Canadian competition under the Under
wood tariff. Mr. Humphrey called at
tention to the fact that neither the
agents nor the Secretary himself gave
the name of a single lumberman or
other individual from whom informa
tion was gathered.
"These agents did not interview the
lumber and shingle manufacturers," as
serted Mr. Humphrey. "They talked
with the politicians, and the dearth of
evidence they produced is perhaps due
to the fact that a Democratic politician
is a scarce article in my state. It
now appears that when they did, by
accident, come across a lumber or shin
gle manufacturer they suppressed his
evidence.
Manufacturers' Data Suppressed.
"I call attention to a flagrant case
of this kind, and I do it because the
Secretary has been pleading for more
honesty in talking about the condition
of business and the industries through
out the country."
Mr. Humphrey then read to the
House a report prepared by a specially
appointed committee representing the
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' As
sociation to furnish information to the
ngents sent out by Secretary Redfield.
That committee even submitted a writ
ten report to the agents and the agents
deliberately suppressed the report. It
was not even alluded to In the re
port made by Secretary Redfield. Mr.
Humphrey asserts that the written re
port was by far the most important
testimony the agents gathered in their
entire Investigation.
Report Hold Tariff to Blame.
Mr. Humphrey then read from the re
port: "The primary factor causing the pres
ent demoralized and unprofitable con
ditions In the lumber Industry is the
direct result of the effects of the re
cently enacted customs tariff bill. The
committee is of the firm belief that
the new tariff law is responsible for
The present low prices. Any factor
which tends to lessen the demand for
lumber will most naturally cause
reduction in prices exactly as an in
creasing demand causes them to rise.
"It is impossible for the committee
to conclude that the country at large
can possibly be benefited by any law
which has a tendency to increase its
imports when it has the raw material
and che necessary labor to produce such
articles in satlslactory volume and
quality. The entrance of such products
lias no other errect than to lessen the
requirement of so much labor as may
De represented Dy the articles Im
ported."
Mr. Humphrey concluded his speech
by snowing that even, according to
the Redfield report, immediately after
i ue present tarirr law went into ef
fect. 80 per cent of the shingle mills
of the State of Washington closed, and
immediately Del ore it went into ef
feet the mills that had been closed in
British Columbia opened and began
running to full capacity and are run
ning at full capacity yet.

SETTLERS' AID PLANNED
STATE IMMIGRATION COMMISSION
HOPES TO SAVE LOCATORS' FEB..
Area Declared Smaller Than Public
Generally Understands and Lum
ber Companies Are Active.
How to help prospective settlers on
lands recently eliminated from the
Paulina and Deschutes National for
ests in Central Oregon will be the
problem confronting the Oregon State
Immigration Commission at a special
meeting today.
J. W. Brewer, field agent for the
Commission, recently made a careful
cruise of the lands in the elimination,
and today will be prepared to report tq
the Commission on his findings.
It Is understood that many home
seekers are entering the central part
of the state under the impression that
all the land recently eliminated from
the forest reserves will be open for
entry. As a matter of fact, all but
about 35,000 acres of the eliminated
area has been withdrawn for reclama
tion purposes is held by prior patents
or Is included In irrigation projects
being developed under the Carey act.
The Commission wants to help set
tlers locate on these remaining 35,000
acres and - to place them on land, if
possible, without subjecting them to
locators fees.-
It Is understood, furthermore, that
the Reclamation Service will relinquish
its rights on a considerable portion of
the land that it has withdrawn for
reclamation purposes. How to make
this land available for legitimate set
tlers and keep it out of the hands of
timber-grabbers is another phase of
the question that the Commission must
consider.
It is reported that several crews of
timber cruisers now are carefully
measuring all the timber in the affect
ed area and that some large timber in
terests are preparing to procure pos
session of the land for its timber value
as soon as it is opened for entry.

Statement Recently Made in Run
ning; Debate Concedes That Ma
jority of Constituents Are in
Favor of exemption.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 6 senator Lane, of Ore
gon, who has not yet made up his mind
how he will vote on the canal tolls re
peal bill, is no longer listed among the
Senators certain to support the Presi
dent. There have been evidences of late
that the Oregon Senator is undergoing
a change of mind on this subject, and
he is now being listed by some as
among the opponents of the AdminlS'
tration bill.
In the absence of a positive declara
tion by the Senator it Is unwise to list
him otherwise than as doubtful.
Signs of Wavering Detected.
When the House was considering the
tolls bill, senator Lane, while declar
ing he had not made up his mind how
he would vote, gave Indications that
his predisposition was to stand by the
President and his intimation was re
sponsible for his being listed as in fa
vor of repeal. Recently the Senator
has made some reference to this ques
tlon. and that reference, while non
committal, has carried the impression
that he is now disposed to vote in fa
vor of free tolls.
In the course of a running debate on
the tolls question in the. Senate recent
ly. Senator Lane discussed the position
of his constituents.
Constituents Favor Exrnptioa.
"I wish to say that the majority of
the people whom I represent are in fa
vor of exemption of tolls for coastwise
shipping." he said, "yet I have waited
for the evidence before deciding what
I will do. I am entirely independent
and free in the matter, and feel myself
so, and said in my campaign that 1
would be; that I would vote for what
I thought was right, quite regardless
of my future political fate or anybody's
objection to my course."
That statement did not commit Sena
tor Lane one way or the other, but it
conveyed the impression that he had
learned something of the prevailing
sentiment in Oregon and public senti
ment will influence many Senate votes
on the canal tolls question.
