duty on the estimated value OF the
animal.
But If. some big circus manager
should bring into this country lot
of lions, and tigers and elephants,
and other menagerie exhibits, no
duty at all would be assessed.
Just after the new tariff law
went into effect an American circus
consisting of tanned dogs and ponies.
which had been performing in Can
ada, tried to come back to the Uni
ted States, into the state of Wash
ington
1t was confronted bythis peculiar
language of the tariff bill, and it
looked for time as though the own
ers would have to pay duty on every
horse and pony and dog. connected
with the show The local collector
OF customs, however, permitted the
animals to return to this country
without assessing duty. Now, near
ly a year after, the Treasury De-
has approved that collec-
tors action on the same grounds as
will be applied in the case of race
horses and other animals sent to
Canada or Mexico for exhibition
the further argument be-
ing made that there would be dis

animals were they not allowed to
