Perfumery More Than Luxury,
Says Mr.. RiCkSecker.
OBJECTS TO HIGH TARIFF
Witness at Committee Hearing on
Chemical Schedule.
UNTIL JANUARY 81
Witnesses Are Being Kept as Close
ly as Possible to Their
Allotted Time.

The first witness today at the second
hearing on the chemical schedule before
the House ways and means committee
was Theodore RickSecker of New York.
who bespoke the opposition of the Manu-
featuring Perfumers' Association to the
transfer of distilled and essential oils used
in perfumery preparations from the free
list to a ~ per cent ad valorem duty. He
said he regarded it as a mistaken notion
that perfumery was luxury and that
he had known of working girls who spent
much of their wages for it,
Mr.. Ricksecker made a plea that I'VE
are all entitled to a slice of happiness. y
and that perfumery was virtually neces-
sity for servant girls. as we'll as a neces-
sity for womankind generally.
The manufacture of dry coiors i'm the
United States was taken up. with Arthur
S. SOmers of New York a witness. He
asked for an equalization Of the tariff
reductions on coal tar dyes and on dry
colOrs.
Are you in sympathy with the idea of
tax on raw materials that enter into
American manufacture" asked Repre-
sentative Payne of New York. former re-
publican chairman of committee.
NO, said the witness.
For Duty on Paris Green.
This is no pipe dream" declared Mr..
sormes. eff you put paris green on the
free list You will wipe out every paris
green factory i'm this country. Canada
has 10 per cent duty shutting out our
manufacturers, and. without protection.
the Canadians would drive us out of
business
THE general opinion is that you're rob-
Der barons,' suggested Representative
Hill of Connecticut, smlingly.
II don't see why. There is the greatest
competition in the paris green business.
p. III. Callahan of Louisville, Ky,
speaking for the National Narnish Asso-
citation. representing about 50 per cent of
the industry. said the varnish industry
could stand a free trade basis. He de-
clared he asked no protection and pro-
tested that removing the duty on sugar
and putting a tax on non-competitive
varnish raw materials would mot i'm
prove the situation at all.
To Continue Through Month.
The hearings are to continue until jan
uary 81. the time being divided between
the tariff schedules taken up in sequence.
The committee is keeping the witnesses
as closely as possible to their allotted
time, allowing each a fifteen minute
Roadway for uninterrupted argument fol-
lowed by more or less close eXami-
nation by the committee.
Failure Of awitness to appear at the ap-
pointed time forfeits his right to speak.
though one is permitted to file supple
mental brief The plan of Chairman
Underwood is to get through with the
hearings as eXpedtiously as is consistent
with the policy of allowing all interested
an opportunity to present views.

Allerton D. Hitch. William H. Douglas.
Joseph Purcell and J. J. Slechta of New

The committee is working under a

Started New Line.
Mr. Storey detailed the movement of
New Orleans business men to estab lish a
new line of steamers to South America.
In June, 1912, the Pan-Amercan Mail. he
said, in which no one owned more than
500 worth of stock, was started with
three chartered ships
I'VE have been compelled to withdraw
our line because the ships came back
empty Mr. Storey declared
Before the line was started he said
some business men declined to invest in
the project because they believed the
European lines which also ply between
the Americas would prevent the new
ships from getting cargoes from Brazil to
the United States
Await Emancipation.
The witness declared South American
shippers were anxiously awaiting
emancipation from the alleged mo-
nopoly of European lines but feared TO
support American ships. Brazilian
shippers, he added, believed commerce
between the United States and South
America never would be developed
while European lines monopolized bust
Europe.
Strict regulation of steamship. lines |
the witness said, would get American
commerce into South America. He de- |
clared that a 80 per cent prefential duty
on American flour was practically Swal- |
lowed up by the discriminating rates of
the European steamship monopoly"

tenn plan to be recommended to Congress
as substitute for the one proposed by
the national monetary commission. a sub
committee of the House committee on

will continue several weeks.
Bankers and financial experts from all
parts of the country have been invited to

ers: Victor Morawetz, a writer. and
Leslie NJ Shaw, former Secretary of the

Representative Glass of Virginia. chair
man of the subcommittee. expects to con-
clude the hearings in time to frame
currency bill before the end of the pres
ent session. There is no promise of the
passage of any such legislation at this
the committee propose to have their plan
worked out and bill prepared for the
next Congress.
Hepburn Is First Called.
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the board
of the Chase National Bank. was first
called. He said he was committed to the
national monetary commission plan of
currency reform. which he regarded as
an intelligently and carefully considered
system. which, if enacted into law, would
result in great good to the country. He
added. however, that he did not regard
the Aldrich bill as the last word in cur
rency legislation.
Il think you gentlemen can be assured
at the outset he said, that you Will
have the sympathetic cooperation of the
banking and business interests OF the
country.
Mr.. Hepburn urged the necessity for
central bank similar to the one proposed
in the monetary commissions plan.
Three Cardinal Defects.
There are three cardinal defects in
our currency SYSTEM said the witness
want of elasticity, want of market
for credit. and competitive rather than
cooperative operation of our reserves.
There should be great reserve reser-
voirS in the business centerS of the coun-
try said he. ''These should be under a
general altruStic control. | mean under
a government influence.
If necessary, he added. he would favor
a central bank with the United States
government owning 81 per cent of the
capital stock. AS an alternative for the
central bank idea Mr.. Hepburn suggested
dividing the country into clearing house
districts. He insisted, however. that
central bank was what the country was
coming to as the only final remedy.
