MACON, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1908 DAILY, 87.00 A YEAR. TIFT ASKED FOR SADIE SCHEDULE Georgia Lumberman Op poses Free Entry of Lum ber Into America. WOULD NOT CONSERVE THE AMERICAN FORESTS He Declared Creation of Forest Re serves By the Government Had the Effect of Increasing the Price of Stumpage—Asked That Duty Be Left ndisturbed, Saying That Con sumers Would Get No Benefit of Re duction In Prices—Talks Politics, Stating That aft .Would Havo Made a 'Better Race in Georgia With An Active Campaign. 4 ‘WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—The tlm- • her Schedule waa again under discus sion beforo the house ways and means committee for a'short time today. H. H. Tift, of TIfton, Ga.. who appeared at tho request of the committee, said the creation of forest reserves by the > government had the efTect of Increas ing the price of stumpage. He de clared the government gets the high est prices for what it sells. Mr. Tift asked that tho lumber schedules bo left undisturbed, saying the free entry, of lumber would not tend to conserve the American forests and that the consumers probably would get no benefit in the way of reduced prices. He admitted that he would be satisfied with the retention of the tariff in the low grades of lum ber. Chairman Payne asked Mr. Tift wKy the people of the south come before the icommitteei and ask for higher dutiea than the people from any other section and then voted for a low tariff - In the national election. Taft In Georgia. “Taft got 40,000 votes In Georgia, 1 * remarked tho witness. "Yes, but ho should have gotten a majority.” “There was no campaign made for him,” rejoined tho witness. John H. Finney, representing the Appalachian National Forest Associa tion, urged the committee to take tho +■ duty off certain white plno seedlings, ‘ • which he said were needed for- refor- • cstatlon, as this typo of treo doea!fi*t reproduce itself. Cotton Schedule. Mr. McLea, of New York, argued for a readjustment of tho cotton schedule, claiming that It should bo simplified. He declared that If any changes arc made in the rates of duty on cotton goods, they should be made gradually. International Harvester. '■J The testimony of E. D. Metcalf, of • Auburn, N. Y., representing the In ternational Harvester Company, was similar In many respects to that of Judge E. H. Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, yesterday. . Mr. Metcalf said the company which ho represented is bo well entrenched in tho agricultural implement business • that It does not need the tariff and that it Is immaterial to them how tho tariff is changed. IIo did not deny that the International Harvester Com pany manufactures over 50 per cent of tho harvesters, mowers and reap ers made In this country. "Cam you manufacture cheaper than the English and French manufactu rers?” asked Representative Crum- packer, of Indiana. “I think we can, from the fact that wro can sell our goods Jn their coun tries. We havo improved methods in all lines of manufacturo in this coun try which benefits us In tho manufac ture of our goods.” “You haven't suffered any ns a re sult of the tariff on steel and Iron ore?” Inquired Judge Crumpacker. Tariff Doesn’t Hurt Steel. “I can’t see how. tho tariff can be held responsible for the fluctuation In tho prices of steel and iron. It is duo to the demand and supply.” Mr. Metcalf disagreed with tho. tes- . tlmony of H. R. Miles, of tho National Association of Manufacturers, nnd the* complaints of several manufacturers of agricultural Implements that the cost of materials entering in the man ufacture of their products has In- . creased. The witness declared that the prices of these raw materials had steadily decreased. Champions Small Manufacturer. Representative Crumpacker cham pioned the cause of the smaller manu facturers of agricultural Implements, claiming that these small producers can not compete with the International bk. Harvester Company for the foreign 'business. He said the amount of their busi ness did not Justify their making use of the drawback provision of the tariff. N. P. Worth, of Coatesvllle, Pa., a steel manufacturer, asked for free scrap Iron, the duty now being 14 a ton. He also desired a reduction In the duty on Iron ore. Duty on Automobiles. W. C. Durant, of Flint, Mich., asked that the duty on automobiles be re duced from 45 to 20 per cent and that the duty of 45 per cent on automobile parts be reduced to 50 per cent. He claimed that tho demand of othtr manufacturers of automobiles for a 45 per cent duty was not for the bene fit of American labor, but was be cause of “extravagant management and enormous profits.” He asserted that In a $1,400 machine the cost of labor Is S10O. and that other manufacturers had really asked fur a duty of (0 per cent on th# finished produet for the sake of labor.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT’S BIG STICK INCOMPARABLE WITH JEFFERSON’S IN STEERING GOOD SHIP OF STATE Compares Early History With That of Present Political Regime TAKES ISSUE WITH BACON AND QUOTES FROM RECORD Writer Asks If the “Attempted Dic tation of tho Decisions of tho Courts," as Charged to tho Presi dent, Would Xot Palo Into Inslg- nlflcanco by Comparison With Thomas Jefferson's Action in Ac complishing Party Purposes, Through a Subservient Congress, by tho Abolishment of a Term of tho Supremo Court—Not Defend ing Roosevelt or Jefferson; Just Comparing History, ATLANTA, Ga., Dee. 19.—Presi dent Roosevelt’s "big stick” Is a hollow mockery when compared with the blunt bludgeon Thomas Jeffer son tried to use, metaphorically speaking, according to S. Guyt Mc Lendon, chairman of the state rail road commission. In a letter to Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, Mr. McLendon de clares on the authority of history that had Roosevelt ever made such bold attempts to control the Judi ciary of the nation and establish a one-man power as were made by tho founder of the Democratic party, tho president would havo been im peached by congress.

The senator says: “Another fundamental democratic doctrine is that conitltutlonal lim itations shsil be maintained, and that the three departments of tho government, legislative, executive and Judicial, shall bo kept separate, with each In the enjoymnt and ex ercise of its full powers, without In terference with, or usurpation by either, of the functions and powers of tho other.” Haring In mind recent hlatory, the senator further sayi: “This system of ono man power has of late, under republican rule, been so defiantly and even boast- (CenUnutd on Tact Two.)

BRIEF IS FILED BY STANDARD OIL Is Argued That Law Docs Not Authorize Review By Supremo Court WASHINGTON Dec.' 19—The stan dard on Company’s brief in tho pro ceedings of tho United States against that company on the chargo of ac cepting rebntes from the Chlcngo and Alton Railway Company In which the United States district court for the northern district of Illinois Imposed a fine of $29,240,000. was today filed In the supremo court of tho United States. The case comes before tho court on a petition by tho government for a writ of certiorari bringing It up for revldw tor tho .dedlsion of tho United StatcH circuit court of appeals for the seventh circuit, by which court the district courts decision was re versed, Tho brief antagonizes the pe tition and this order based principal ly on the ground that tl«o law “Does not authorize a review by tho supremo court on nn application of, tho gov ernment of a Judgment of the circuit court of appeals In a criminal case by which a writ of error of defendant Is'sustained and disposed of by re versing tho Judgment and sentenco of tho trial court.” Contended that In a case of this character, a writ of certiorari Is equiv alent to a writ of error and that “Tho policy of the law T* against the review of a Judgment in favor of the ac cused In a criminal case at tho in stance of tho government." Brief Largely Technical. Much of tho brief Is technical In character, but there aro occasional passages which depart from that char- actcrlzitlon. It Is pointed out that sjx cents was tho lawful rato on petroleum for all shipments from Chicago to East St. Louts, except from tho stations at East Chicago, Hammond, Indiana Harbor and Whit ing or other suburban switching points In Indiana. From these points tho government contends that tho railroad was required to ehnrgc eighteen cents per hundred, or three times the Chl cngo rate and that therefore the Stan dard Company which shipped from the suburb of Whiting at tho Chicago rato was properly mulcted by the district court In sum of $29,000,000, "For not shipping at and paying a prohibitive of three times as mcuh as the Chlcngo rate.” Contention Is made that due effort was made on behalf of the Standard Company to discover the legal rate, and It Is urged that tHe company should not be held responsible for Its failure In that respect. Urges Point Overlooked. Continuing the brief says: “Counsel as well as the trial court have over looked the obv'ous consideration that the controlling purpoee of tho acta to regulate commerce is 'To promote and facilitate commerce and not to ham per or destroy It.' Counsel argue the construction of the Elkins amendment as If congress. In pissing It regarded the shipment of commodities in In terstate commerce as fraught with evil or danger to the safety or morals of soe'ety and that It was therefore to be burdened with penal restrictions and that shippers are to be held to a rulo of diligence In knowing that the rates at which they ship are *.he current lawful filed and published rates, such as has been In extreme cases applied to dram shop keepers selling liquor to minors or druggists telling po'sons. If shippers were required to carrv on business under such a rule as to mako diligence the 'Equivalent of knowledge* st the risk of criminal prosecution end seven* penalties. Interstate comroerra would be greatly restrained and Cl- m'nlshed. If not destroyed. What la said In the opinion of the circuit court of appeals Is apt on this quest Ion." In conclusion It Is urged that the granting of the writ would not be Jus tified.

Many of the older citizens of Pike, persons who recalled the detnlls of tho crime, protested against the pardon “to tho last, saying tho negro should have been hanged at the time, and that to pardon ono guilty of such an of fense would bo fixing a dangerous pre cedent.

He snld the crime was too serious and the evi dence too conclusive for Childs' re lease to be over Justified. Others Released.
