STRICT ENFORCEMENT
OF NEW GERMAN TARIFF
Heavy Responsibility Imposed on
Importer in Declaring Goods.

The future handling of the new Ger
man customs tariff. reports Joseph J.
Lager, United States consul at Solln-
gen, Germany, TO the Department of
Commerce and Labor, will place more
responsibility on the importer than
heretofore. The law provides that every
importer must make an exact and specific
declaration as to the goods to be in
ported. which will be strictly enforced.
The only exception is made when the
importer asserts that he is unable TO
make reliable declaration. in which
case, however. the clearing of such goods
is delayed and any inspection on proba-
tion excluded.
The changes as to the new tariff con-
sist chiefly in tariff rates themselves
and the official invoice appertaining
thereto. These being more specialized
than heretofore, will necessitate a more
detailed declaration as well; particularly
as TO textiles, hardware, machinery. etc.
For instance, as to tin, the thickness
must be given; in machinery, the kind
must be specified and the weight Of each
machine given; in cotton goods, thread
and relative weight must be specified.
This will not only simplify the official
inspection. but facilitate it as we'll.
In the case of goods subject to vari-
Gus rates of tariff according to the coun-
try of origin, the importer must state
the country of origin in his declaration,
and while, as a rule, this would take
the place of further evidence as to the
origin of the goods. the customs authori-
ties may demand specific evidence in
doubtful cases.

HOT WEATHER IN IOWA
Effect on the Crops of the State
Worth a Million Day,
Says Wilson.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, July IA Des Moines special
to the Record Herald says:
Secretary Wilson says this weather Is
worth a million dollars a day to the farm
ers of Iowa, and he smiles when other
people complain Of the heat. The corn
crop is backward. The area planted is
larger than ever, surprising all records,
but there was so much rain in the spring
that the farmers were late in blowing and
planting, and, generally speaking, the
corn is about two weeks behind. However,
a few days OF this sweltering heat will
bring 1t up to where 1t ought to be at
this time Of the year.
q ''Y esterday,'' said the secretary, when
we were coming thru the great corn belt,
Captain Merry, vice president of the ILL.,
nois Central railroad In Iowa, declared he
could hear the corn grow. He says that
when corn grows rapidly it makes d Pc
culiar cracking noise which he can dis
tinguisIl above the rafting Of the trains
and the hooting Of the whistles
Captain Merry has charge OF the Iowa
corn crop and is looking after 1t very
closely this Year. He says the crop will
be 100000, 00G or $50. 600, 900, 900 bushels, I
forget which, and any one who knows
Captain Merry Of Manchester will vo,ich
for his accuracy,
Secretary Wilson, who was born in
Scotland and belongs to the Presbyterian
church, is quite as certain about the size
of the crop. barring fire, war and pesti-
lence, and figures it out about 10, 900 900
bushels more than Captain Merry.
