WOOL REVISION
DOWNWARD URGED
IN TAFT MESSAGE

n this is near to the average of the
great bulk of woods that are imported
from Australia, which is the principal
source of u imported wool.
"These determinations could be over
come by assessing n duty in ad valorem
terms, but this method is open to the
objection, first. that ii increases admin
istrative difficulties and tends to de-
crease revenue through u~ndervaIua-
tions. and second. that as prices ad-
vance, the ad valorem rate increases
the duty per pound at the time when
the most needs relief.
Another method of meeting the diff
Guilty of taxing the grease pound is to
assess a specific duty on grease wool
in terms of it's secured content. This
obviates the chief evil of the present
system, namely. the discrimination due
to differnt s~hrinkags. The board re-
ports that this method is feasible in
practise and could be administered
without great expense.
Cost Higher Here.
ut is found, however, that taking all
varieties In account, the average cost
of production for the whole American
clip is higher than the cost in the chief
competing country by an amount some
what less than the present duty.
1.-THE report shows that the duties
on oils, wool wastes and shoddy. which
are adjusted to the rate of SO cents on
secured wool are prohibitory in the
| same measure that the duty on secured
| wool is p%rohibitory. In general, they
are assessed at rates as high as or
higher than the duties paid on the
| clean content of woods actually I'M
ported. They should be reduced.
THE findings f fact by the board
show ample reason for the revision
downward of schedule * in accord
with the protective principle. I recon-
mend that such revision be proceeded
with at once"
In brief, the board would assess duty
on scrubbed wool-not wool and grease
combined-and suggests a graduated
scale of ad valorem rte or cloth.
1t costs so per c more in the
United States to cor 1t tops into yarn
thar 1t does anywhere else. On yarn,
from which cloth is woven. the present
duty is prohibitory. because it keeps
out all except the finer grades.
100 Per Cent. More.
1t costs 100 per cent. more TO make
cloth from yarn in the United states
than in England or France.
The board takes a suit of clothes re-
failing at $23 and wholesaling at 1880,
as worn by the average American. The
farmer receives for the wool 1923 and
his profit is IS cents: the manufacturer
of cloth receives $4.7s and his profit is
% cents: the wholesale dealer receives
$3.50 and his profit is s2.1S: the re-
taller receives 1923 and his profit is
$3.50.
Investigation establishes hat 1t costs
more to grow wool in the United States
than in any other country; that the
merino woods required in such great
volume by our mills are the most ex-
pensive of all woods produced; that the
highest average cost of production of
such wool in the world is in Ohio and
contiguous territory. and the lowest in
Australia.

PROMINENT EASTERN AP-
PIE BUYER IN CANON CITY

J. w. Thorn of New York City, one
of the largest apple buyers in the me-
tropolis. is a visitor in Canon City,
having stopped on here while on his
way home from a business trip thru
the horticultural sections of idaho.
Washington, Oregon and other states
in the northwest Mr.. Thorn is regard
ed as one of the best posted men in
the United States in relation to or
chard products, especially apples, OF
which he handles an immense guam
tity annually. Every year for thirty
years he has made trips into all o,
the more prominent horticultural Sec
tions of >the country for the purpose
of ascertaining at first hand the ex-
tent and value of the crop and his
familiarity with the frat growing in
terests, is, in consequence, very
great.
Mr.. Thorn is handling about two
hundred and fifty cars of Colorado
grown apples this season. some Of

though 1t is the first time he has done
SO for fifteen years He buys largely
in Idaho, Washington and Oregon, as
well as in New England and middle
states. and is prominent in New York
City as an exporter of American
grown fruits. According to Mr.. Thorn
and his observations are borne out By
the government bureau of statistics
at Washington, the American apple
production is diminishing from year
to year. although consumption is In
creasing at an astonishing rate. The
national output of apples in 1892 was
36.625,000 barrels and in 1895, which
was an exceptionally prodigal year
for the orchardist. 1t Was 69.070.0o0.
From that time to this the output has
constantly diminished; the crop last
year being only 22,7s5.oo0 barrels.

that DR.. Pretiss had gone crazy on

WILL INCREASE FORCE
OF MEN IN A few WEEKS

The United States Zinc Products
company, which several months ago
leased the plant of the old United
States Reduction G. Smelling company
in Prospect Heights for a long term
of years, and which for some time
past has been working about thirty
men, expects by the first of the year,
or very shortly afterwards. to double
its force of employees.
For nearly a year Sewall Truax, an
expert chemist, has been carrying or
\ series of experiments and has
evolved a most successful process fer
the extraction of zinc oxide, which is
chiefly used as an ingredient in the
manufacture of plant pigments.
For two or three months the smelt-
er has been running on a small scale
extracting the metal from the dump
about the plant with such success
that the indications now point to the
resumption of operations in more
extensive manner.
Important changes and alterations
have been made in the buildings. ma
chinery and general equipment 10
the plant during the past summer at a
considerable expenditure of money,
the completion of which within, the
next two or three weeks will enable
the lessees to begin the handling and
treatment of native ores. The new
system of extraction is said to be far
more efficacious and economical than
anything heretofore in use and will
permit of the handling of ores that
have defied reduction by other pro-
cesses. Robert A. Shaler of Brookline,
Massachusetts,, is president of the
new company and W. F. Booking of
this city general manager. The ext .n-
sion of operations at the South Canon
smelter will be a matter of consid-
erable satisfaction to the people of
the community.

crowd-life and music and gaiety and
good things to eat have stopped

But nobody ever accused the AL
bany Hotel people of being Sunday,
School outfit. And don't think they
are. Well when went up to my room
found a brand new Bible .on my
dresser. thought at first that some
preacher had had that room and had
overlooked his Bible. I opened it up
to see If his name was on the inside
but it wasn't.
"On the inside OF the cover was a
printed label which said that that
Bible was placed in that room by the
"Gideons" which Is a religious order
of commercial travellers. and it stated
also that such Bibles are being placed
in the rooms of N the leading hotels
of the country. On inquiring 1 found
lit to be true and they are now in all
the principal hotels of Denver.
This label gives some other very
good suggestions. 1t says:
'If trade is poor read Psalms 81
John Is. rsf
IF you are losing confidence in men
read Corenthians 13.
"If skeptical read John $40; John
~; Phil 2. to IL.
"If very prosperous read Cor. 10.
IL to 1S ff
IF you can't have your own way
read James 8.
Young Man. most of us don't read
the Bible often enough. We get out of
the way OF it. don't read it enough
myself. But that night when the music
was going on down stairs and the gay
theatre crowds were coming in to get
their midnight lunch and to have
their little tete-a-tetes over something
to eat or drink l sat up in my room
and read the book of Proverbs
through.
do you know sir, that there are
some wonderful gems of wisdom in
that book? Read it, Young Man, and
you will know more than you do now.
And it has some smart things to say
about the woman question too-things
you might read with profit"
And so 1t seems that DR.. Prentiss
has been vindicated and that the Cid
con Bibles in the city hotels find
some readers who do not read the
J Bible much at home.
