FIND new METHODS.
Assistant Attorney General Proposes
Acceptable Tariff Amendments.

Washington, May 10.-An amend
ment to the tariff bill to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to pro-
claim values of imported goods for the
purpose of assessing ad valorem tariff
duties, irrespective of fluctuating for
e1gn markets, thereby approximating
the ad valorem system to the advan-
tage of specific duties, was proposed
today to Chairman Simmons of the
finance committee and Chairman IN
derwood of the ways and means COM
mlttee by Assistant Attorney General
benson and Assistant Secretary Cur
tbs. Both leaders looked on the pro-
posal with interest and the tariff bill
may accordingly be amended in the
finance committee before the measure
enters the senate.
an amendment would cut down litigation,
take much work from the board of ap-
pralSerS and is believed by it's proponents
to be absolutely necessary for the work
ing of an ad valorem tariff bill.
Another amendment proposed would
up on contingent fee basis appeals from
appraised valuation. Assistant Attorney
General Den1son said today that the
amendment with the provision already in
the bill requiring fee of 81 for all pro-
tests and appeals would curtail customs
litigation so per cent.
The proposed amendment, which injects
practically new feature into the admin
lstratlon tariff law, was conceived by AS
sistant Attorney General Denison who
sion that investigated the board of gen.
eral appraisers several months ago The
recommendation of the commission for
sweeping changes in the present method
recently submitted to congress by Presi-
dent Wilson.

PLANNING FINAL FIGHT
Republicans of Senate Have One Hope
Left.

Washington, May 10.-With the
senate in adjournment until Tues
day, the Republican fight against
consideration of the tariff bill by the
finance committee without public
hearings will be continued, the Re-
publican leaders endeavoring to win
votes for the Penrose amendment to
instruct the committee to open it's
doors.
Some Democrats are reported as
disappearing the decision not to hold
hearings and upon them the opposi-
ton bases its hope to override the
majority. Senate Democrats are plan
ming to caucus on the tariff bill in
the near future to thresh out the
much-disputed wool and sugar sched-
ules and other features that have de-
veloped isolated party opposition.
There also will be settled the ques-
ton of excusing senators from sup
porting any particular section of the
hill

south Side Booster Nfeetinr.

Notwithstanding the rain an enthusiast
tic gathering of South side boosters met
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Radcliffe
Lee, 1920 West street, last night the oc-
casion of the regular monthly meeting of
the South Side Civic Improvement club
The proposed issuance of $125, 600 in bonds
for the installation of sewage pumping
plant at the dixie, and without the con-
sent of the people, was informally dis
cussed, and the consensus of opinion was
that the enabling act passed by the leg
islature was an outrageous usurpation of
the prerogatives of the voters and tax
payers of Topeka.
An effort will be made to secure por-
ton of the park appropriation for the
improvement of Lakewood park this sea-
son, the South siders realizing that they
are without the limits of the Improvement
zone in the park department They be-
lieve they are entitled to a park and
Lakewood offers the first opportunity to
get one.
The main topic of the evening was the
sidestepping of the promise by the To-
peka Railway company to extend its line
on South Kansas avenue, and a resolu-
ton was finally read that reflected the
sentiment of the meeting. There was
not dissenting voice when the discussion
of the resolution was closed.

Friends of Tariff Leader Booming
Him for President in 1916.

Washington, May 10.-Representa-
tive Oscar w. Underwoods friends
have started to boom him for the
presidential nomination in 1916. They
claim that tariff bills have made
presidents and that Underwood will
come to the front on the bill that
passed the house.
While it is recognized that Presi-
dent Wilson is in a commanding posi-
ton to secure the nomination, they
are backing Underwood in the belief
that President Wilson will abide by
the intent of the Baltimore conven-
ton platform, which declared in favor
of a single term.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseases portion of the ear. There IS only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf med con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the rssult, and unless the inflammation can be talk en out and this tube restored to its nor- nal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

ele world: also. that while the COM
bnerce OF the United States has been
going in an easterly and westerly di
rection in the past. this condition is TO
be altered and commerce will flow in
q large measure to the gulf ports
Now, the question il, TO what extent
does Pensacola realize this, and what
henefit is Pensacola going to receive
from il with the preparation being
made? Also, what is that prepare
ton? Briefly. the Louisville & Nash
Vile railroad has greatly increased its
facilities by extending its Yards i'm
proving it's wharves and II is under
stood that this road will construct a
new dock. Two new railroads are in
part constructed, and part of their
terminal facilities are ready for use,
and both have extensions under way.
This much has been accomplished and
exists for through business.
What is Pensacola doing TO increase
her own business? The city has un-
auestionably dressed herself up with
paved streets, etc. She has voted
bonds for a public dock and belt rail-
road, and she owns a large amount of
water front unused Has she done
anything else? If not, can she hope
to successfully compete with other
cities that are operating steamship
lines to the trade territory in Central
and South America, and sending trade
commissions to foreign lands? Again
j ask, is Pensacola taking advantage
of her opportunities ?" and. rs she
going to receive the benefits she should
from the southwark swing OF com
