DEMOCRATS HEDGING ON
:. .DYESTUFFS TARIFF,

Washington, Mar. 15.-(Special.)-
American dependence upon Ger.
many for dyestuffs has been demon.
strated, and the urgent need for the
permanent establishment of a dye in.
dustry in this country is universally
recognized, the Democrats in Congress
show little evidence of willingness to
legislate for "America First"
American manufacturers wishing to
make dyestuffs will not undertake that
industry without assurance of protec-
ton from the syndicated competition
of Germany after the war. Represen.
tative E. j.. Hill, Republican membe,
of the Ways and Means Committee,
has introduced a bill carrying rates
of duty on dyestuffs which meet the
approval of the American Chemical
Society of the United States, made up
of Democrats and Republicans alike.
Indications r that the Democrats in
Congress will not stand behind the
bill.
Congressman Hill declares: Tf
every penny of the specific duty which
it is now proposed to add to the reve-
nue. rates of the present law should
be added to the price to the consumer,
it would take one hundred years of
that burden to equal the losses which
the existing famine has brought upon
the country in the last ~ MONTHS"
The chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, in a public
address to the Chemical Club in New
York, four months ago, declared that
"the total loss, direct and indirect, now
being borne by American users Of dye
stuffs and dyed wares amounts to not
less than $1,ooo,ooo a day."
The scarcity of dyes affects the
whole country. Seventy per cent of
the cotton consumed in this country
in making cloths, passes thru the dy-
ers' hands before it reaches the con-
sumer If steps are not Immediate
ly taken to encourage the making of
dyes in this country, by means of a
protective tariff, the price of cotton
will fall as a consequence. It costs to
color wool five times the cost Of COL
loring cotton. Nearly all the wool
used by us is colored. Silk, leather,
paper, and fur requires dyes in their
manufacture, and the representatives
of these great industries, utilizing the
labor Of hundreds of thousands Of
men and women, all declare that the
supplies of German dyestufs are near
ly all used up. Without the dyes the
industries must suffer, and so must the
laborers.
Another interesting phase of the
dyestuffs situation was brought out in
the recent hearings before the Ways
and Means Committee Of Congress;
DR.. Bernard Hesse, Chairman Of the
chemical and dyestuffs committee Of
New York, stated: eff we did have a
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-03-16

complete self-contained coal tar dye
industry in this country we would
have an adequate equipment which
could, with comparatively little delay
be converted into a device to manu-
facture explosives, and we would have
the nucleus of a trained body of men,
workmen, if you please-foremen and
superintendent, who could, with very
little time added learn how to make
these explosives properly, and they
then begin to act as a nucleus for an
accretion or growth of the men nee
essary to do the work."
Any reasonable man would think
that the Democrats would seize on this
as an excuse for establishing protec-
tive rates Of duty on dyestuffs made in
America. It is a matter of prepred-
! ness, also. But they continue to back
and fill and sidestep the issue, and
meanwhile, the loss to users of dye
stuffs continues to be 100000 daily
to accept the figures of the Democratic
officeholder.
Advocates of "America First"
should get after their Democratic
representatives in Congress and urge
them to vote for a protective tariff on
.dyestuffs. The condition which faces
us is a dyestuf famine. The theory
is the discredited Democratic tariff
policy. It is time to wake up!

That there is an unprecedented de-
mand for the bort cars in Minneapolis
and the northwest is verified by. the
fact that a solid trainload of these
popular priced carr has just been re-.
ceived by the La Crosse Auto Co., 921
Hennepin Ave.
In business nine months and ship
ping cars by the trainload to single
distributors; this is an enviable re-
cord of the bort Motor Car Co., of
Flint, Michigan, manufacturers of the
bort $3.50 Touring Car.
A search back over the annals of
the industry fails to reveal any SINH
lar instance of rapid production in
crease.
1t is all the more remarkable when
one considers that on the first day of
May, 1915, the bort factory at Flint
was shipping only two cars a day.
The credit for this remarkable show
ingwhich is almost without equal, is
due to the indomitable will of j. D..
bort, president of the bort Motor Car
Co., and to his two able executives,
John D. Mansfield, sales manager and
to D. M. Averill, general manager, in
charge of the production of cars
1t goes without saying that the final
judge of all automobiles, the public,
! was quick to set it's seal of approval
on the bort as a car of unusual ex-
c%ellence, at a price that was well with
in the reach of the average buyer.
To those who know the building of
motor cars, and the many obstacles
that the raw material market has pre-
sented to any such increase of produc-
ton that the bort has been able to
show during the past nine months, the
record made by the bort officials is
almost beyond belief. All join in Civ
in these men credit for doing some
thing that a year ago the veter-
ans of the automobile industry would
have, without a single dissenting vote
acclaimed impossible.

Train1oad bort Automobiles
Received by La Crosse Auto Co.
Immediate Deliveries Assured

B. R. Kelly of the La Crosse Auto
Co., 921 Hennepin Ave-, the distrib-
utor for the bort in Minneapolis, re-
ports that the first solid train load of
Dorts shipped this year moved on
Thursday Of last week to Minneapolis
This was a solid train load of IS a r
loads and contained some 200 odd bort
Touring cars. The freight charge
alone on this shipment was over 81 900
Consider what this means in the at
titude Of the men who sell bort cars
toward their car and their belief in
its sales possibilities. Here is one of
a number of dealers who is putting up
over $135, 900 in cash to pay for a sin
gle shipment of cars into his terri
tory.Men who have accumulated this
amount of money in their businesses
do not put up sums of this size unless
it has been demonstrated to them that
they are makinga satisfactory invest
ment. These men know what they are
doing, they know that they can move
many times this number of bort a
during the coming spring and they are
not going to take any chance of a pos
sible shortage-and it is known there
will be a shortage in many lines of
cars this year.
"I have contracted for about 1000
cars" said MI. Kelly, II wish I could
get the factory to allot me twice that
number, for I know 1 could move
them with very little trouble. The
bort with it's sturdy construction is re-
markedly we'll adapted to our country
roads, and will stand any amount of
punishment and day in and day out
hard work that one would not believe
possible. I have been very successful
with it, because it has made good ev-
erywhere and it is honestly built all
the way through by a factory that has
had 80 years of experience in building
one of the most popular lines Of bug
gies and farm vehicles that has ever
been manufactured,

IN TAXES ON REAL ESTATE
Make Horizontal Cut In Valuations
i'm all Cases Except Where Fixed
BY State Commission.

At the meeting of the Board of
Equalization last week, to hear re-
quests of property owners for a
change in valuations, an order was
entered exempting twenty-five widows
from taxation.
After careful consideration the
question of valuations in this county
in comparison to similar property in
other counties the Board came to the
conclusion that the conditions war
ranted horizontal reduction of
twenty per cent in the assessment on
all real estate and improvements in
Churchill county. The decision took
form in the following resolution
which was adopted and made part
of the minutes of the proceedings of
the Commissioners sitting as county
board of equalization:
1T appearing TO the satisfaction
of the board that the assessment of
the real estate and improvements
throughout the county was too high.
it was ordered that the assessed val
uation throughout the county on real
estate and improvements be reduced
twenty per cent, except in cases
where the valuations are set by
statutes or the Nevada Tax Commits

FEDERAL court DECLARES
CITY ORDINANCE INVALID
Solicitors for Firms Outside State
are Exempt From Payment of
Peddler's License.

By a decision rendered in the Fed
eral Court at Carson last Saturday,
by Judge Harrington, that part of
the Fallon city ordinance prohibit
ing peddling except upon payment of
city license of SIS, was declared
invalid, as it conflicts with the in
terstate commerce law.
The case was brought before the
court through the arrest of ". E.
Mccullough, who with his eompan-
ion have been soliciting for alumni
mum cooking utensils for several
weeks past in Fallon. Last week
he was arrested by City Marshal
Smitten for peddli1g without a
/ license ard fined SIS in Judge Jones
court Mccullough refused to pay
the fine and was released from Gus
tody on writ of habeas corpus

him to appear with Mccullough at
Carson before the Federal court.
City Attorney Winters was dep
utized to accompany the defendant
and prosecute the case for the City
of Fallon Attorney A. L. Haight

company TO defend theirlagent
The effect of the decision is that
anyone may sell goods, while acting
as an agent for concerns loutside the
State. by the showing bf samples,
taking orders and making subsequent
deliveries without being subject to
the payment Of license for peddling.
Judge Harrington held that such
an ordinance was clearly contrary to
the federal statutes providing for
free trade between the States. How
ever. the ordinance is in full force
and effect insofar as it concerns firms
within the State and would only ap-
ply to interstate commerce.

through Fallon Saturday morning in

of 1898 miles over the Lincoln High

Quite a large crowd assembled in

OF Fallon, and did not arrive here
until 2:30 Saturday morning, leav-

nearly midnigh when DR.. Lehners,
who had met the travellers at Sand

racer and an exchange OF parts was
made, which enabled them to con-

opinion that far better purpose
could be served by expending the

time across the continent could be
reduced to all users of automobiles
and to the physical comfort of those

indications point 10 a heavy increase
in their number, the Panama-Cali-

However. it is a fact worthy Of
general notice throughout the Mid
