TARIFF COMMISSION

The United States Tariff Commits.
sion. which was organized for vori
April /, 1917. has just submitted u
Congress its first annual report. Tn
Commission is charged with the in
vestigation Of the administration and
the fiscal and industrial effects Of th<
customs laws of this country. including
their relation not only to the Fedora
revenue but to the industries of the
country. 1t has power. further. to in.
vestigate commercial treaties, pre-.
ferential agreements and economic
alliances, and the conditions and caus-
es affecting the competition of foreign
industries with those of the United
States.
The Commission submitted, during
the extra session of this year. to the
Committee on Ways and Means Of the
House of Representatives a report
which recommended that Congress
should take steps analogous to those
which other countries have taken. and
which are there known at paddock"
laws, whereby proposed increases in
duties and taxes should go into ef-
feet before the enactment of new
revenue laws. but subject to their be-
ing FINALLY passed. The method
adopted by Congrss to attain the
same end in the war revenue act of
this year is to follow taxable articles
into the channels of trade. But this
does no treach smaller retail stocks
and it has the further objection that
it suddenly imposes great burdens and
responsibilities on the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. The commission re-
peats its recommendation for perma-
nent legislation on this subject.
The Commission has undertaken the
task of drafting a revision and codifi-
cation of the administrative laws re-
latinc to the customs, in order to re-
move the existing Implications, con-
tradictions and antiquated provisions.
1t has invited suggestions from
Treasury officials, others in the pub
lie service and business men and at
torneys The Commission hopes to
present to Congress revision which,
if approved and enacted into law, will
result in clearness and simplification
in the form and substance of the Gus
toms administrative laws, increased
efficiency and greater convenince for
the public, and substantial saving of
Government expenditure. In this con-
nection the Commission is also in
vestigating tire question of free zones
in ports as a means Of expecting ex-
port trade and overcoming demurrage
in ocean commerce.
The Commission has undertaken to
establish a catalog of tariff informa-
tion, somewhat in the nature of an
encyclopaedia, which shall contain as
far as possible data for each important
article affected by the tariff The
data will include statistics on inn
ports, exports, production, prices and
cost of production, processes Of manu-

saeture and competitive ooaditieas
This cstalog is to be kept coatinususly
up-to date. A part Of tie general
plan will be the establishmeat Of .
tariff library in which will be kept
books, pamphlets. letters from pro-
ducers and importers, etc., classified
and arranged for ready esasHltaties
n connection with the catalog.
Tie Comnission is making special
survey of the chsaical Industry and
expects to present to Congress . de-
tailed report showing the development
of tie industry and especially Of thsse
branches which have been most stinu-
lated by the var. The investigates
carried on by the commission will be
especially devised 20 ~ to provide the
information necessary for . Legislative
readjustment to peace conditions. BY
direction Of the President the Commis-
sion is taking the special census Of
chemical products made necessary by
section ,01 Of the act Of September g.
1916.
War disturbances, such as the ef-
feet of the war on the supply Of raw
materials, tendencies developing in
different industries. new and increased
establishments< changes in processes,
and plans tor readjustment after the
war, are being specially considered by
he commission.
The enrance Of the United States in
to the European war has brought the
activities of the Commission, A. those
of every department Of the Govern
nent, into closer relations to war prob
lens and conditions. Both our allies
and our enemies are considering the
possibility of commercial warfare,
commercial neutrality, and commercial
alliance. The Central Powers are con-
sidering the arrangement of a necon-
omic union for Central Europe. I'M
perial preference has been actively
discussed in England and in her self
colonies. Far-reaching
possibilities are suggested by the re-
suits of the Paris Economic Confer
ence which met in June, 1916. and
which provided for a differential
treatment between allied countries,
neutral countries, and enemy count
ries. In the act creating the Tariff
Commission, the Commission was spe-
officially empowered ITO investigate
organizations and arrangements in
the Paris Economy Pact and similar
Europe" The Commission is prepar-
ing an extensive report on bargaining
tariffs. commercial treaties, and econ
omic alliances. The United States
has never had consistent policy with
reference to bargaining tariffs, where
as the countries of Europe have work
ed ont several different systems. The
Tariffs Commissions rcport will pro-
vide the facts upon which Congress
may find a method for using the bar
gaining power in American tariffs,
and also upon which American COM
mercial treaties may be adjusted to
meet the conditions of the modern
world.
In all that it has undertaken the
Commission is working in harmony
ith other departments of the govern
ment. thereby avoiding duplication of
effort.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Aua. 2l.-Thc greatest
battle of the world was being fought
today.
From the seacoast to the Swiss from
tier-over ABS miles-the allied forces
were flghting n practically continuous
offensive.
Frances great assault at Nordun, still
driving on today, completed the chain
Of battles which were welded In the
forge Of war into one gigantic action
Of unprecendented extent and power.
The great battle started with the
Anglo-French offensive in Flanders, ex-
tended 10 the British offensive at Lens,
thence to the French attacks around
ST. Quentin. then to tho French Of
fenslves at Chomin Des Danes, Moron
villcrs and Nerdun and concluded with
heavy artillery lighting in Lorraine and
Alsace down 90 Switzerland.
The western front has never seen
such an extensive battle nor has the
Allies superiority everywhere been so
asserted
With three more months Of fighting
weather this year Germanys hold on
the western front may become pre-
carious before winter.
Perfect and co-ordnated strategy
underlles the English nnd French at
tacks They have been so timed as TO
convert all tbe lighting into one great
battle.
Once before the Allies timed such 4
blow. but not in the force Of that
which was pushing with terrific power
today On April 16 the French at
tackled tho southern pivot OF the Hin
denburg line a week after the English
attacked the northern pivot.
Today the French ere attacking tho
southern pivot where the German
lines hinge on their famous retreat
position. The drive comes exactly
two weeks after the English attack in
Flanders threatened the German
northern hold on the coast
While these two huge oliensives de
veloped today the battles around len:
Arras. st. Quentin along the Aisne an
at Moronvillers continued with unabate
intensity
Germany made her supreme effort Il
concentration Of men and Of artiller'
in the 1916 assault on Verdun No of
/ fensive had ever reached the INTENSITY
of this one But the French assault
Of today in tie identical sector ha,
surpassed it,
The combined French and German ar
tillery brought into the play of deatl
is probably the greatest concentration
Of weapons for a single attack the who'll

FRANK DERREL THE
HUMAN FLY TONIGHT
VIII Climb Marion Hotel at
7::3) and May Try Court
House Tomorrow

Frank Derrel, "the human fly" will
give an exhibition of his skill this
evening at 1880 by climbing the
Marion hotel. Derrell is the only real
genuine human fly, outclassing all
others in his line, who are only gnats
and mosquitoes in comparison. He
climbed the radio tower at San Diego
as one of his stunts, and this is trip
up an almost smooth wall for 600 feet.
He has climbed the most difficult
buildings in the United States, and can
outclimb anything in existence except
the wolld-be society women who are
forced to climb a purely imaginary
family tree. Derrel requires something
more tangible than that, hence CON
cedes the society danes can beat him.
He intends to climb the court house
tomorrow, if he can get permission of
the coualy judge, which he expects to
do today, and will make announcement
at his climb tonight as to whether or
not he will make this one, and if so
the hour. Derrel is said to be the most
persistent human fly in existence
sticking to wall like a real fly to
the smooth I'D of bald headed man
and apparently having no more diff
Guilty in negotiating a wall than the
house variety of fly has in scaling the
parapet ard dancing on the hurricane
deck of n hairless victim.

Russia VIII Reject
POpe's Peace Proposal

Washington, Aug. 2O.--Rejection by
Russia Of the pope's peace proposal
was forshadowed in an official state
ment issued this afternoon at the
Russian embassy. The statement fol-
lows:
fThe answer to the vatican s peace
proposal has not yet been formulated
by the Russian government, but there
is feeling in Russia that the proposal
has been made with some inspiration
from the Central Powers. 1t is con
sidered in Russia that the very basis of
the vatican 3 proposal is inconsistent
with the democratic aims of the Rus
sian people in this war and monaco
ceptable from that point Of view"
1t was explained the Inconsistency
of the vatican's proposal is that it
recognizes the right of Serbia and
Belgium to independence while leav-
ing open the argument at the peace
conference disposition of Alsace-Lor-
raine and the liberty Of the Juogoslavs
and such other nationalities as may ex-
press d desire for autonomy or inde-
dependence. The vatican's proposal,
it is said, ignores the most vital
principle proclaimed by Russia--the
right of each nation to determine its
own destiny and thus leave the fate Of
certain subject nationalities in tho
hands If other powers.

force the demand that 1. w. w. held in

Spanish American war veterans of

SALEM WILL Line Up
FOR ONE DELIVERY
1t Is Not the Delivery System
But the Abuse Of 1t Needs
Correcting

This it what one of the real progress
sive merchants of the city said this
morning: ''Salem may be trifle slow
and inclined to look with suspicion on
everything new that is proposed, but
the chances are it will line up on the
national movement in regard to the de-
livering Of packages. 1t is not the
delivering of packages, but the abuse
of the delivery system that should be
changed. 1t is quite often that fam
lilies require from the same store, three
to four deliveries day.,
At the meeting of the Business men $
league Tuesday evening, this delivery
abuse proposition will be taken up.
There seems to be general agreement
that under the present war conditions,
everything that, can be done in an
economic way should be done, and one
of these is the reducing of the over
head expense of useless delivering
One of the plans is to provide eacf
house with at least one delivery day
In some lines, such as meat markets
an early morning delivery and 2
0 clock in the afternoon delivery will
probably soon be established The
grocers may also fall in line with this
system, although there has been no
meeting to arrange for uniform sys-
tenn of delivery. This will be discussed
at the meeting tomorrow evening
The Meyers department store is fall
ing in line with the national movement,
initiated todav in Portland hv making
two deliveries in the morning and two
