OFFICIAL LIST OF QUALIFIED VOTERS
 IS INCOMPLETE

The publication by the probate judge tors has caused no small amount of worry to probably 2000 men who con- sider themselves as entitled to vote, but whose names did not appear on the list. These names were left off for various reasons, but 10 days will be allowed from the time the list was pub lished for the correction of all errors or for the explanation of any apparent defect in the title of any man to cast a ballot in the county. Unless this correction is made prior to the ex- piration of the 10-day limit, at which time a supplementary list will be pub lished. the right to vote in the coming primary will be lost.
 In discussing the situation yester- day Ben F. Ray, registrar of Jeffer- son county, said: Many men who registered and considered themselves entitled to vote did not find their names in the published lists. If they are really due vote, the matter can be cleared up by going to the probate court One large class consists of men who have registered, but who came to Alabama after they were 21 years of age. Even if they have paid every year they have been in the state, their names were not on the lists. They must ap- pear before the probate judge and state the facts in the case and make affi- davit that they resided in another state the year or years they did not pay poll taxes. There are also quite number who have paid one or more years poll tax in some other county. This matter will also have to be adjusted with the probate judge during the 10-day limit before the second list is published.
 Another large class of men whose names were left off the list are those residing in the city whose address could not be located. Sometimes there might have been an error in the ad- dress, but the probate judge was forced to leave the name off unless the ad- dress could be located. This can also be remedied by appearing at the pro- bate office before the time limit ex- pires. There are also some errors due to incorrect initials or incorrect spell ing of the name. These errors should be corrected at once in order to pre- vent losing the right to vote and to keep down any question the day of the primary"

 General Gaviras statement was made in connection with the announcement of Major General Scott, chief of staff of the army, that the purpose of the expe- dtionary force would be considered ac- complished when the Villa bands were dispersed or as soon as the troops of the de facto government are able to relieve them of the work.
 we have more men than enough now, v said General Gavira. 'If we were able to overcome Villa when he had 10000 men, over 100 cannon and plenty of sup plies, we ought to be able to dispose of him now, when his numbers have dwin- dled down to few hundred. But it is a big territory to operate in and a single man has more chance to escape and hide than large force would have. However, on account of Villas wounded condition, we think he will be taken soon. If not it is hardly likely that. without proper surgical care. he will sur yive for long,

REDFIELD REPORTS
 ON THE TARIFF LAW
tContinued from Page One,

the value of imports as compared with the value of domestic production and on expenditures for wages in various indus tries before the war began. One chapter is devoted to statements of import and export values in other countries.
 The nine months period before the war began, while normal period, MT. Red field declares, is much too short for adequate statistical study of the tariff 8 effect. For several months preceding and following a tariff change, he points out, trade movements are disturbed; if re- vision is down the tendency is to hold goods for import until the lower rates are effective and if revision is upward the tendency is just the opposite.
 The report calls attention ot the close correspondence between estimated re- ceipts under the Underwood Simmons act. Estimates said the bill would pro- duce the first year from SPAS, S,OO00O0 to $25S, 100000. It actually produced the quar- ter immediately preceding the outbreak of the war $63000,000. At this rate the annual revenues would be 254,0O00O0.
 Exports are shown to have increased enormously under a heavy demand from Europe because of the war.
 The report says actual competition with foreign manufacturers is met by few American factories because imports of manufactured goods amount to less than per cent of the total of American manu- factures. A study of the relation of wages to the value of products, it con- tinues, shows that in industries repre- senting one-fifth of the total manufac- tured product of the country the labor cost is less than per cent of the value of the product. Another fifth shows wages represent to 15 per cent of the cost; another fifth from 15 to 20 per cent. Wages in most of the remaining indus tries represent from 20 to 30 per cent
 A comparison of the wage cost per- centage of products in 109 industries with the average rate of duty on all imports shows, the report says, that in nearly half the industries the percentage spent for wages was less than the cost of duties
