tends to decrease revenue through I'M
der-valuations, and, second, that as
prices advance. the ad valorem rate
increases the duty per pound at the
time when the consumer most needs
relief and the produce can best stand
competition, while If prices decline
the duty is increased at the time when
the consumer is least burdened by the
price and the producer most needs pro-
lection.
Another method of meeting the
difficulty of taxing the grease pound is
to assess specific duty on grease
wool in terms Of its secured contents.
This obviates the chief evil of the
present system, namely, the discrim-
ination due to different percentages,
and thereby tends greatly to equalize
the duty. The board reports that this
method is feasible in practice and
could be administered without great
expense.
"They should be reduced and so ad-
justed to the rate of wool as to bear
their proportion to the real rate levied
on the actual wool imports.
"The duties on many classes Of wool
manufacture are prohibitory and
greatly in excess of the difference in
cost of production here and abroad.
1.-THE findings of the board show
that in this industry the actual manu-.
featuring cost, aside from the ques-
ton of the price of material, is much
higher in this country than abroad
that in the making of yarn and cloth
the domestic wooden or worsted manu-.
facturer has in general no advantage
in the form of superior machinery OIL
more efficient labor to offset the high.
er wages paid in this country. The
findings show that the cost of turning
the wool into yarn in this country is
about double that in the leading com.
peting countries and that the cost OF
turning yarn into cloth is somewhat
more than double. Under the protec.
tive policy great industry, involving
the welfare of hundreds of thousands
of people, has been established despite
these handicaps.
In recommending revision and re-
duction. therefore urge that actor
be taken with these facts in mind, tc

REDUCE WOOL DUTY
President Recommends Revision,
Leaving Rate 10 Congress.
Believes Difference Between Cost at
Home and Abroad Is Proper
Basis for Tariff.

Washington, ID. C.--President Taft
sent a message to congress Thursday
recommending downward revision OF
the tariff on wool. Accompanying the
message was the report of the tariff
board. Neither the message nor the
report attempts to fix the rate of duty,
but the president recommends that the
proposed revision adhere to policy OF
protection based upon the difference in
cost of production at home and
abroad.
The message says that the present
method of assigning the duty on raw
wool operates to exclude woods OF

Moscow The current number of
the Chicago Packer, fruit journal,
contains an item purporting to come
from Spokane, which says: "The

cable to the royal family of Denmark,
at So. 10 f. o. b. Medford.' -
President Herman N. Wilson, of
the chamber of commerce of Moscow
said: "This kind of misrepresenta-
ton is unfair, untruthful and in my
judgment was done Intentionally, as
the item above quoted is dated Spo-
kane, December Z, and the facts must
have been we'll known. The facts are
that the Medford car was defeated by
both the Moscow and Occur dale ne

the Moscow car had won most every

charge of the exhibit and was on the
ground from start to finish, said
Every exhibitor and every reader of
the Spokane papers for radius of
over 200 miles of Spokane, and the

GIRLS sARrseso FOR GOLD.


Los Angeles Declaring bitterly
that the local Russian colony Of 5000
Is marriage market wherein young
girls are bartcred by their parents
like 20 many cattle. Elsie Navikof
braved hundred pairs of eyes in
Judge Wilbur's court and screamed
that she would bare the secrets Of her
people rather than submit.

sturdy American, who served five
years In the navy and to whom she

wants to marry her. She is IL, edu-
Gated. Americanized and pretty. the
daughter OF John Navikoff, and she
asserted that her father and mother
had sold her for $500 gold to man
she had never seen. 80 she ran away.
That is why she was before the judge
In the juvenile court.
The girls testimony constitutes as
sensational chapter as any ever
heard in local court. She asserted
and offered to prove, that there are
600 young Russian girls for sale here
At an average price of $500 to men
wanting wives; that their parents are
the sellers and the highest bidders the
buyers; that the personal charms Of
girls are inventoried like the points of
livestock and constitute the criterion
Of sale.
Her frail form shaking with the in
tensity Of her feelings. she flung the
denials OF n score Of Russian patri-
archs present back into their teeth.
Judge Wilbur continued the case and
thorough investigation of the colony
will be made.
Officers of the court declare the
girls statements are true.

viding the year at the close
of those months when 1t was no longer
possible to keep cattle out doors
This was made quite fete and In
the sixth century was merged into
the feast OF st. Martin. November IL.
on which day the opening Of the New
Year was celebrated.
While In Germany Martinmas and
the New Year were Identical, with
the introduction Of the Roman calen-
dar the celebration was gradually
transferred to the first OF January, and
with 1t went many OF the jolly Martin
mas customs.
Tracen of these old New Year OBJ
servances and supersltions can still be
traced in the way the season is kept
in different lands.
Our decorations Of greens, for in
stance. are a relic Of the old Roman
superstition OF presenting branches Of
trees for good luck In the coming
year
The giving OF presents has also come
to US from the Romans. They outdid
even the generous Americans, for they
used to ask for gifts, If not received.
until one Of the emperors forbade his
subjects demanding gifts save on the
New Year.
One of the favorite New Years gifts
after pins were invented in England, In
the sixteenth century, were the rough
handmade pieces of metal that took
the place of bone and wood skewers
Later pin money was substituted.
A gift that must never be omitted
was an orange stuck with cloves to
grace the wassail bowl Apples. nuts
and fat fowl were popular offerings OF
the season.
Gloves and glove money is a very
old New Year custom which is still
kept up in the increasing use Of gloves
as holiday gifts.
Even more curious are the old New
Year customs. Many of these are still
observed by old-fashioned people who
cling to the old traditions.
The old-fashioned Englishman will
formally open the outer door of his
house on New Years eve just at the
approach OF midnight. This is to let
out the old year and usher In the new.
The Scotch make much OF New Year.
1t Is generally ushered In with hot
pint" brewed at home and drunk by
the family standing around the bowl
just as midnight strikes.
After hearty greetings to the New
Year. the hot pint" with bread,
cheese and cakes, is taken to the
houses of the neighbors. The first to
enter another's home on the first OF
January bestows good luck on the fam
| lily for the year.
In many of the Scottish regiments
even yet the ushering in of New Year
is most picturesque. At five minutes
