Washington, April 2.-One of the
most far reaching and engrossing sub
jects which this administration will
attempt to bring about during the
course Of the present fiscal year is a
complete glossary, or encyclopedia, OF
the American tariff. It will include
within its scope an investigation OF
all the large industries of the United
States engaged In export trade with
foreign countries. and to perhaps a
larger extent, the entire manufacture
of articles Of trade coming into this
country. The purpose of this import
ant work is to acquaint congress, the
president and the people of the Unit.
ed States generally with the cost OF
manufacture of articles of export SO
that the legislators, executives and
the people may have complete and
intelligent idea of the valuations OF
articles OF commerce and industry.
Heretofore, congress and the presi
dent, in endeavoring to work out a
tariff Just and equitable for the Unit
ed States In comparison to like rates
existing in other countries, have un
dertaken job which, to say the
least. has been on they did not fully
understand. In other words, experts
of the government in this line say
they have been dealing with a subject
which the majority knew very little
about. Several hundred lawmakers
from various parts of the country in
determining tariff rates for the Unit
ed States, are only familiar with the
conditions that obtain in their respec
tive communities. The result is thai
when a tariff bill has been completed
great dissatisfaction has been appar
ent in one section OF the country Of
another Should glossary be com
piled showing the cost of manufac
ture of articles of export, it is pointed
out that all lawmakers who are in
terested, can be made fully acquaint
ed with conditions obtaining in thu
United States at once, and after due
| consideration can handle their subjec
with intelligence.
Work on this glossary or encyclope
dia has already been commenced b!
members of the tariff board which II
composed of A. HI. Sanders. H. G
Emery and J. B. Reynolds. The plal
on which the work will proceed hal
been mapped out and its genera
scope provided for.

Grafton of congress has been sought
and according to the advises Of a higl
government official, congress will no
refuse it. 1t is proposed by Presiden
1 Taft to ask congress for an appropria

erence. Other quarters will be OBJ
tanned as it Is considered that the
offices now occupied in the treasury
building are inadequate.
When the work is well ON its way
and the initial appropriation obtained
from congress appointments to the
new branch of the government ser
vice will be made by the tariff mem
bers themselves, irrespective, 1t is
said Of congressional influence. The
object is to obtain men unbiased po-
litically, who will send absolutely
correct reports OF their research so
that positive statements can be made
and the glossary be rated as stand
ard work. These men will be high
class experts and will be employed
by the tariff members at different
times. They will be assigned to some
particular work, and when that is
finished, to another. The places will
not be permanent however. They will
also have rowing commissions, being

to complete.
In summing up the number of in
dustrial articles of export which will
be subjected to this research of valu-
alton and cost. it is estimated sthat
there are about 5000 or 1000 now
listed in the Payne-Aldrich tariff

cording to the duty required at the
port of entry. OF this number 4S1
numbers are on the dutiable list
representing about $500 articles OF
commerce upon which Uncle Sam re
quires duty. 237 numbers" are
on the free list and represent the
classification of articles which were
formerly taxed under the Dingley
! pay duty.
| For the purposes of starting this
work of recording the various articles

! tariff board members have elected tt
take up the question of investigation

way in which they are grouped under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff schedule
Thus for instance, paints, oils and ma
terials of this character will first be

production ascertained. In this wa,
1t is believed the work will progress:
in systematic way.

DIVERSIFIED TIRES FAVORED
BY AUTO MANUFACTURERS

''I suppose you have noticed" said
w. d. Newerf of the w. d. Newerf
Rubber company yesterday, "the grow
ing tendency among automobile man.
ufacturers as we'll as motorists to
equip their cars with oversize tires.
More than one company boosts over
size tires as an added advantage of
the 1910 equipment of their cars.
ST am very glad to see this. because
it is a practical recognition of a prin-
ciple for which the makers of the
Goodyear tire have been contending
for years past. The Goodyear people
were pioneers in establishing the over
size idea, and now all Goodyear de-
tachable tires are made Is per cent
oversize.
"The gain in easy riding, longer
wear, avoidance of rim cutting and
other costly tire troubles Is so great
it seems to me that the Goodyear over
size idea must come to be universally
recognized"

AUTO SHOW HAS
GREAT RESULTS
BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS
REAP BENEFITS
INEXPERIENCED PERSONS MAY
STUDY MACHINES
Plenty of Opportunity Given for Com
parison of Several Makes of Cars
with Plenty of Time to
Inspect Them
BY P. H. Greer, Mitchell Agent


l believe the annual automobile show
is an excellent thing for the industry
as we'll as for the automobile buyer.
Every purchaser reads of the motor car
exhibits of the east and desires to at
tend one. A show gives the mex
perienced man a chance to see all the
machines together on one floor, and the
opportunity of making a comparison
could not be better. Every car is look
ing it's best and the purchaser has an
excellent chance to decide on his
favorite and close the deal without
much trouble.
For the experienced man. the show is
also a good thing. The man who knows
doesn't want to visit every agency and
examine the cars. That takes too much
time. At show this examination can
be made without much trouble.
The man who is not interested goes
for the amusement of seeing the
crowds and enjoying the many spec
tacular features offered. Such a per-
son naturally becomes interested
There are so many people talking
automobile and SO many purchases
being made that there are few people
who do not come away with the desire
to own a car. From that standpoint
show is a great thing for the dealer.
Aviation Week a Criterion
To substantiate the above argument
we can take Aviation week. Thousands
went out of curiosity and came away
firmly decided to buy one when prices
go right.
1t is business for dealers to hold a
show. We always succeed in interest
ing many people who had no intention
of buying.
And then the progressive dealer
should not hesitate showing his goods
in competition with his rivals. 1 know
for our company we are only too will
ing to line our Mitchells up against all
the cars in the land. A man should
not sell cars unless he has that con-
fidence.
Everybody gains by an automobile
show, and L believe everybody should
take advantage of the opportunity to
attend.
The motor car business now consti-
tutes one of the greatest industries in
America. The amount of money in
vested in plants and cars is stupen-
dous. Los Angeles is the greatest mo-
tor car center of the world, and 1 be-
lieve the attendance at our show will
rank with the crowds in any of the big
cities.

CLUBS SHOULD HAVE
TWO MAIN OBJECTS
Automobile Organization Can Perform
important Function by Work.
lug for Both OBJ
jects

The two main objects of live, up-to-
date automobile club should be:
First, to secure good roads, and sec
ond to assist in upholding the law.
There are many other important func-
tions of such an organization.
To secure good roads the club must
keep up a constant agitation, opening
their campaign with a convention of all
the authorities in it's vicinity, having
experts who thoroughly understand
road problems address the meeting, and
in this way stir up enthusiasm to Sc
cure cooperation. Live matter deal
ing with all sides of the question should
constantly be supplied to the local
newspapers, which will undoubtedly be
found willing to support any effort to
secure highway improvements. Then
the club should turn it's attention in a
businesslike manner to the improve
ment of the main highways in its dis
trict, and should contribute literally of
its funds to assist in such improvement.
In almost every section the supervisors
will be found ready to cooperate to
the extent of their ability-tn so per
cent of these districts it will be found
that the condition of the highways is
due to the lack of funds.
One or two instances of improving
roads with the clubs financial assist
that district but will make the citizens
realize that the organization is a valu-
able asset to the community, and Will
stimulate a desire on the part of the
public for more improved highways. To
sit idly by and swear at the supervisors
and others who control the roads with
out digging into your own jeans" to
assist them is to neglect, in my estima-
tion, the most important work that an
automobile club has to do.
While upholding the law and com
pelling the motorist to comply with its
injunctions, the club, on the other
hand, should defend any member who
is unjustly prosecuted for an alleged
offense, of which it's officers believe the
accused to be innocent: and it should
let it be known that the organization
will fight to the last ditch for the rights
of it's members. In other words the
motto of every club should be, "A
square deal for all users of the high
ways"
Each club in the state should be
affiliated with the Pennsylvania Motor
Federation for the furtherance of the
good roads cause in our state, the Sc
curing of good roads legislation and
the enactment of fair laws for the au-
tomobilist. Every motorist in Penn
sylvania today owes allegiance to the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation for the
passage of the automobile law of 1903.
Membership in the Federation carries
with it membership in the A. A A.,
which is now concentrating it's efforts
to secure uniform automobile laws
in all states and federal registration,
which will enable a man to travel
throughout the country on the license
issued in. the state of residence.
