KNOX HELPS CURTIS.
He Offers Suggestions to the Senator
Regarding a Bill.

Washington Dec. 19.-Secretary Knox
has written to Senator Charles Curtis,
of Kansas, a letter giving information
compiled by the government, which, In
the opinion of Mr.. Knox, would justify
legislation to provide a graduated
means of meeting various discrimlna-
tons by foreign countries against
American commerce
The senator has framed a bill, calcu-
lated to meet the situation as it arises.
The problem Secretary Knox said,
lis to provide for the removal. so far
as practicable, of such features in for
eign practice as may be found ad-
verse to our export trade development
and of serious import to those AInerl-
can enterprises directly affected.
Tn the opinion of the department
this problem may be solved through the
medium of an amendment to section two
of the act of August 5, 1909, whereby
may be afforded a sufficient degree of
elasticity in the imposition of tariff
rates suited to the Offenses intended
for correction"
Secretary Knox cited some of the more
important instances to which the at
tention of the state department mas
been called, but which properly may
not be considered as falling under the
classification of undue discrimina-
tons.
..There have been developed in recent
years. he wrote, numerous instances
of tariff and administrative dlscrlnl-
nation against products of the United
States" Many of these, and indeed
the most important as they then ex-
listed, were removed or equallzed Dy
compensation in tariff rates granted by
other countries through the negotla-
lions following the enactment OF the
tariff law of August 5, 1909
some instances of discrimination
could not be removed by negotiation and
because of their minor character when
in the relation of a COM
merce thus involved to the entire com
merce of rhe United States with the
particular offending countries, they
were permitted to remain. Since the
of these negotiations other
instances have developed in the way of
practices. both with re-
spect to capital investments of Amer1- |
can citizens in foreign countries and
IN regard to measures in the admins |
tration of foreign tariffs adverse to the |
interests of the United |
States"

ADVANCE UNOPPOSED
Italian Army in TripoIi Now Numbers
$4,000 Men.

London, Decem Der 19.-The continued
advance of the Italian troops toward
the interior of Tripoli without meeting
serious resistance seems to prove the
correctness of recent information that
the Turkish troops and their Arab
allies have withdrawn to the hill
They are practically, it is reported,

The Italian forces now concentrated
in the former Turkish province of
Tripoli number $4,000 and military
experts think that when their means
of transport have been perfected there
will be apparently nothing to prevent
the effective occupation of the annex

casions and the officers are required
to extend their efforts
The members of the other organiza-
tons deny that they are receiving con-
tributions that are intended for the
Salvation Army, but persons who
thought they were contributing to the
latter have given their offerings TO
some of the other people.
Captain Myrtle Sanders, who is in
charge of the Salvation Army work
in Topeka asserts that her organ1za-
tion has more trouble in getting eS-
tablished in Topeka than any other
city in the country. This IS brought
about by the work of the other or
CARNATIONS some of which are not con-
Quoted. she says with the spirit which
prevails in the Salvation Army. She
does not make any charges against the
other organizations but says she per-
sonally believes that the members OF
the other organizations resort to I'M
scrupulOus conduct.
Prize Bread Given Away.
Two hundred and fifty loaves of
bread which were entered in the bread
baking contest which was conducted at
Fraser Brothers store on West Sixth
avenue by the Eagle Flour company,
was turned over to the Salvation Army
after the judging was completed and
given to the poor people of the city.
These poor people received it with APP
probation and the officers of the Sal
walton Army could have given away
large quantity if they had received it
for disposal.
A number of other organizations are
making an effort to make Christmas
distributions but have not a systematic
which will permit them to
meet with the success of the Salvation
Army The Salvation Army has fur

TAX PAYING EXTENDED
Five Days More Granted Before Add
ing the Penalty.

Matt Weightman, county treasur-
er. was yesterday afternoon allowed five
days extension of time in which to
issue receipts for the Decem Der taxes
without exercising the penalty as
prescribed by law. This extension of
time will apply only to remittances
by mail and Weightnan is permitted
to close his office the morning of De
cember 81 and remain closed until
the morning of Decem Der 26, that re-
ceipts may be issued to a small army
of taxpayers who have responded by
mall
Several weeks ago the county board
issued an order to the effect that no
receipts covering rebates would be al
lowed after December 20. This has
caused an unusually heavy rush this
yeear at the treasurer's office and at
the present time the office is swamp
ed with work The former order was
rescinded by the board when it was
found that it would be entirely out
of the question to handle the great
stacks of mail remittances in the
time prescribed in the first order.

 It is located in Yuma county, two miles west of the Planet mine. on the Bill Williams Fork. and com prises thirteen claims. About 5000 feet of underground work has been done on the property. which has un- covered large deposits of copper and iron. The ore runs about 40 to 60 per cent of iron and there are mil lions of tons of it. The great de posits of iron are what largely in- fluenced the Detroit man to pur- chase the property.

on languishlns and the construction

engage in the foreign trade has en-
tirelS ceased. It's the American cost
of labor both in the shipyard and

handicap of American tonnage in

and therefore it is perfectly evident
TO everybody that such competition

until such time as this difference in
costs is in some way made UP 10 the
American shipowner. That can be
done by paying the difference TO the
shipowner out of the public treasury,
