On trains and Newe Stands S cnM The Lumber Tariff THE senators of the northwestern states are claiming a great victory in getting a three dollar tariff provision in the pending senate revenue, bill. We r fail to see where there will be very much benefit to the lumber industry from the tariff but maybe there will. Lumbermen seem to want it. - Tariff items have no place in a taxation measure. Tar iffs and taxes should be considered seoarately. The fact that by ganging up with oil and copper and coal senators the tar , iffs could be forced through doesn't Teflect very creditably upon bur method of law-making. Considering the lacttnaz we are a mmuer exponmg u f tion by a large margin, the chance of getting much benefit from the three dollar tariff looks slim. During the five years from 1925 td 1930 the average value of annual exports of sawmill products was $100,000,000 and imports $56,000,000. Moreover the ratio of exports to imports has been gaining rather than decreasing. For the preceding five year-period the average for" exports was $84,500,000 and for imports $63,000,000. What the lumber industry needs chiefly is a revival of the building industry in. this country. It needs more than three dollars added to the price to make the industry prof itable. The trouble go deeper than foreign competition In the home market. We are all vitally concerned with lumber's prosperity, and perhaps for that reason are willing to grasp . at a straw of a protective tariff. Somewhat similar statistics are true with respect to exports and imports of copper, coal and oil. This also is true of oil and copper that the chief importations are in the crude or unrefined state giving considerable employment to Amer . ican refiners, for further exportation. It is also true that copper and petroleum imported belong largely to companies owned by United States capital.
