TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS

The new tariff law. in section re-

imposed upon the President the response
bility OF determining prior to that date
whether or not any undue discrimination
existed against the United States and its
products in any country OF the world
with which we sustained commercial re-
lations.
In the case Of several countries in
stances Of apparent undue discrimination
against American commerce were found
to exist. These determinations were re-
moved by negotiation. Prior to April /,
1910, when the maximum tariff was to
come into operation with respect to i'm
portations from all those countries in
whose favor no proclamation applying
the minimum tariff should be issued by
the President, 1874 such proclamations
were issued. This series Of proclamations
embraced the entire commercial world,
and hence the minimum tariff OF the
United States has been given universal
application, thus testifying to the salts

Advantage to Our Commerce.


Marked advantages to the commerce of
the United States were obtained through
these tariff settlements. Foreign nations
are fully cognizant Of the fact that un-
der section 2 of the tariff act the Presi-
dent is required. whenever he is salts
fled that the treatment accorded by them
to the products of the United States is
not such as to entitle them to the bene-
fits of the minimum tariff of the United
states, to withdraw those benefits by
proclamation giving ninety days notice,
after which the maximum tariff will an
ply to their dutiable products entering
the United States. In its general opera
ton this section of the tariff law has thus
far proved guaranty of continued COM
mercial peace. although there are, how
ever, unfortunately instances where for
etgn governments deal arbitrarily with
American interests within their turisdic-
ton In manner injurious and ineQuita-
BILE.
The policy of broader and closer trade
relations with the Dominion Of Canada
which was initiated in the adjustment Of
the maximum and minimum provisions
OF the tariff act of August, 1900, has
proved mutually beneficial. 1t justifies
further efforts for the readjustment Of
the commercial relations of the two

countries and be commensurate with the
steady expansion of trade and industry
on both sides of the boundary line.
Canadian Reciprocity.
The reciprocation on the part of the
Dominion government of the sentiment
which was expressed by this government
was followed in October by the sugges-
ton that it would be glad to have the
negotiations, which had been temporarily
suspended during the summer. resumed
In accordance with this suggestion the
Secretary of State, by my direction, dis
patched two representatives of the De-
partment of State as special commits
sioners to Ottawa to confer with repre-
sentatives of the Dominion government
They were authorized to take such steps
for formulating reciprocal trade agree
ment as might be necessary and to re-
ceive and consider any propositions which
the Dominion government might care to
submit.
Pursuant to the instructions issued
conferences were held by these COM
missioners with officials Of the Do
minion government at Ottawa in the
early part of November.
The negotiations were conducted on
both sides in a spirit of mutual ac-
commodation. The discussion of the
common commercial interests Of the
two countries had for it's object a salts
factory basis for a trade arrangement
which, offers the prospect of a freer
United States and of Canada. The con-
ferences were adjourned to be resumed
in Washington in January. when it is
hoped that the aspiration Of both gov
ernments for mutually advantageous
measure Of reciprocity will be realized.

Every effort has been made by each

this in order that Congress may under

LinwOod School

The pioneer in this f1ew era of
rural high schools is the SPLENDID
new stone structure standing on the
hill just off the graded road about
three miles northwest of the city
Linwood school.
The building is large enough to
accommodate several hundred pu-
pills and as many as eight grades.
The school is young but it has a
history; about two years ago Arbor
Place and Oak Ridge schools two
country schools were brought to-
gether on halfway ground.
Mr.. Sidney Clair decided the trus-
tees 5 acres of land ON the hill in
front of his entrance to his country
home with the promise of more land
I if wanted for agricultural purposes.
The hearty corporation of Wr. j.
M. Barentine, A. j. Sword and 9TH
ers a fund Of $1,000 was raised,
The county board gave another
81 900 and furnished the building
when it was completed.
A board of trustees composed of
Sidney Clair, j. M. Barrentine, A.
j. Sword and w. A. Evens was cleo
ted and the first year 100 pupils
attended the school. This year the
enrolment will be much larger.
Prof. Fred W. Ball, principal, grad
uated at the State University with
distinction and was offered the
chair of assistant chemist. He is
ably assisted by Misses Daisy Moey
and Bessie Roberts who have charge
of the lower grades.
The school is thoroughly modern
in is methods, and up to the 10th
grade offers as good facilities as the
city schools.
The people of that school COM
munity are as enthusiastic as the
people of any Georgia town. They
have been both liberal and enterpris-
ing in organizing and building this
school which marks a new epoch
in country schools.
