Proposes Increase Of Duties on
American Goods.
TAX WOULD Be PROHIBITORy
Bill Backed by Leaders Proposes to
Increase Existing Rates by One
Hundred Per Cent.

st. Petersburg, Dec. ga legisla-
tive proposal to provide for tarif war
schedules applicable to the United
States at the expiration of the Russo
American treaty of m and
navigation of 1882 has been introduced
into the duma by eX-President Ouch
koff and other %signers, representing
the O~ctoberist and Nationalist parties,
which control a majority of the duma.
The bill proposes to raise existing
Russian duties by 100 per cent and
also to impose a duty OF 100 per cent
on articles which are admitted free
under the present Russian tariff. Be-
sides these impositions the bill pro
poses also to levy double the gross
weight tax established by the law OF
June u, 1901, on merchandise arriving
by sea, and to levy a double tonnage
tax. Should the present American
tonnage tax be raised to the disfavor
of Russian vessels then the Russian
tonnage tax will be oorrespondingly
increased.
To Be Submitted to Commission.
IT is said that the schedules are to
be applicable to all countries which do
not grant TO Russia the most favored
nation treatment in m and
navigation. The proposal viii be sub
mitted 20 a financial commission.
The necessity for the proposed legfs-
lation is explained in an accompany
ing declaration in which it is stated
that the regular American tariff SEIZED
ules which will be applicable to Rus
sian goods at the expiration Of the
treaty OF commerce and navigation OF
1882 will be so high as 10 have a pro-
hibitiye character and that they great
Iy exceed the Russian normal tariff
and navigation taxes. which would be
naturally applicable to American goods
in the absence of the treaty.
In the long declaration accompany
ing the bill. the signers deal fully with
the Russo merican situation and re-
count the formal steps taken by the
president Of the United States.

W RATE ON
WOOL FAVORED
President Makes Recommends
ton to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 21.- President
Taft sent to congress the long await
ed report of the tariff board on SEIZED
ule X OF the Payne tariff act and with
it a message recommending that the
rates on wool and woolens be materi.
ally reduced.
The report shows that the existing
duties on many classes of wool and
wool manufactures are %prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the difference
In the cost Of production here and
as to keep out of the United States
entirely woods of finer qualities which,
If imported, might be used to displace
the cheap substitutes now employed.
President Taft calls attention to
these points and urges that a revision
of the schedule be proceeded with at
once.
He characteriZes the report of the
tariff board as the most complete and
exhaustive statement of a difficult and
complicated subject ever presented to
a legislative body. He pronounces 1t
a monument TO the thoroughness, In.
dustry, impartiality and accuracy Of
the men engaged in Its making. He
also dwells with emphasis upon the
fact that the report is a unanimous
one and asserts the belief that il will
convince all Of the wisdom OF making
the tariff board permanent.
Neither the president nor the board
proposes definite rates on duty, Mr.
Taft holding that the function Of the
board merely is TO present findings OF
fact on which rates of duty may be
fairly determined in the light of ade
quate knowledge and in accord with
the economic policy to be followed,
President Taft recommends that the
proposed revision adhere TO a policy
Of protection based upon the difference
In cost Of production at home and
abroad.

BIG SLUMP IN IMMIGRATION
Falling OF of Thirty Per Cent at Port
of New York,

New York, Dec. 23.-One OF the
greatest slumps in immigration ever
recorded at the port of New York is
being written into the records at Ellis
island during the closing days of the
year. Already the records show that
nearly 800, 0e0 fewer immigrants have
landed there up TO the present time
than for the corresponding period In
1910 and indications are, Commission
er Williams states, that there will be
a reduction OF 30 per cent or more
from 1910 figures for the year.
The incoming tide of h~pnlanity is
lower o than at any time since
1903.

ousting by the Persian parliament Of
their American treasurer, W. Morgan
Shuster, it was said at the state de-

many questions and took notes on the
arrangement Of the farm and methods
used. Each farm was carefully mapped
out and records made showing the
methods Of handling it.
Data regarding yield of crops and
money made from various sources were
furnished by many farmers, and the
students compared methods used by
different men and the profits made by
each. Every farmer was interested in
the work and did all he could to help
the class. He in turn received much
good from the suggestions and questions
asked.
This work has encouraged the young
men to return to the farms.
One Of the class has already purchased
a farm since taking the course. With
one or two exceptions the other mem
bers of the class have made arrange
ments to work the remainder of the
summer for enterprising farmers and
after graduating from the college of
agriculture, they will enter into active
farm work.

The Way the Fabric Is AduIterated to

The Way the Fabric Is Aduterated to
Increase Its Weight.
If properly handled silk is the strong
est and most durable of all textile ma
terials. but the various processes Of
manufacture that remove much of the

an amount of its weight that unscrup-
ulous dyers and manufacturers resort
to loading" dipping the thrown silk
into a solution of bichloride Of tin.
Some are not content with restoring
the original weight Of the raw silk, but
load it until its weight is multiplied
three or four fold. This operation
makes the skeins more valuable. but
it destroys the durability of the fila
