TYREE-YF4R-OLD MOTOR CAR
is VALUED AS NEW ONE.
Customs Official Find General Con-
dition of This Automobile War
rants Full Retail Valuation.

Canadian cnstoms authorities have
i.st paid a -year-old motor ca
which has already seen l. 500 mi es
of se7vice-:.h: unusual compliment
of az appraisal at the present market
price as q. new car. They proposed
to enter it in Canada witt only the
regulation 18 per cent discount, anu
an additional 20 per cent for deprecia-
ton, just as though it had undergone
only a few months of service.
The number Of the car, which is
Dodge Brothers, is 653, indicating
that it was built late in 1914, less than
a month after Dodge Brothers began
manufacturing motor cars. It's owner
at sault Ste, Marie, Mich, attempted
TO drive it into Canada recently, for Il
prospective sale there. According TO
customs rulings, depreciation would
have been more than so per cent for
a three-year-old car. However, after
the officials had made an inspection
of bearings, the body finish and gen.
eral appearance, they ruled that II
was practically a new car, and baseo
its entrance valuation on the present
retail price. This, it is interesting TO
note. is considerably higher than the
price which prevailed when Dooge
Brothers car No. 653 was built.
While the owner Of the car was
,gratifed. in one sense, with the GUS
toms ruling, he was not in another.
For the valuation made the duty 50
high that prospects of making a used
car sale in Canada were so remote
that he abandoned the thought. How
ever. be had little trouble in making
a sale in Michigan.

nothing was done.

In his statement today Mr.. Blease
points out very forcibly why the con-
vention was silent upon State issues.
"That convention he says, mo more
represented the people of South Caro-
lima than would a convention held in
: f"r9'gn state. ard anv utterance
made by Z vcoa Ste Issues wc-lc
have necessarily been an outspokeA
condemnation of their administration
in State affairs during the past three
and one-half years. Hence the neces-
sity to dodge and to side-step."
AS to the failure to take any action
looking towards the purifcation of the
primary, the public will find no diff
Guilty in reaching conclusion. 1t was
all partisan-bitterly partisan, even
as was the convention of 1912, when
the people the following summer ex-
pressed themselves in no uncertain
terms.
The convention which met here yes
terday, however, has resulted in
clarifcation of the senatorial en-
broglio. Mr. Levers chances to get
into a second race. if there should be
a second race, have gone glimmering.
Senator Tillman's stout maintenance
that the rumors as to his physical
condition are untrue was contradicted
by his feebleness, but he has solidi-
fed the Tillman wing of the anti
reform faction against inroads from
Mr.. Lever. and had definitely placed
the senatorial race between himself
and Mr.. Blease. He scored Mr.. Lever
for surrendering the chairmanship Of
the great agricultural committee of
the house to try to oust him from the
chairmanship of the naval affairs
committee of the senate. and said that
he was in the race to the finish.
This Craftsmanship business has
proved to be boomerang in the anti
reform ranks which has done deadly
destruction. Prior to Mr.. Levers an
nouncement it was urged that Senator
Tillman should not be retired because
the State would lose the chairman

as the nava? committee of the senate.

Mrs. Jeter was one month past her

wrap the American flag around them,
claiming that they are the only ones
who are loyal, and have attempted to
hide behind the flag, making a rich
mixture of patriotism and politics.
They are absolutely silent as to edu-

warehouse system and asking assist

establishing a graded system for
wages in all government plants, and
many other matters which are Of i'm
mediate and pressing importance to

sTheir silence upon these issues,
however, is not hard to understand.
That convention no more represented

Ship Programme
Cost Up $500, 100000
Through Wage Rise
Labor Board Admits Policy
May Necessitate Further
Increases
By Theodore NJ. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Oct 28.-In order
ing an increase Of wages which will
Increase the cost of the shipbuilding
programme by about S20O,O0O0OO the
Shipbuilding Labor Board frankly ad-
mits that such increases are the in
evitable parents of later increases.
1t is the policy Of the board to ad-
vance wages twice year if the cost
OF living advances 10 per cent or more,
but, says the board: "The advance in
shipyard wages which we are now
making because of the ascertained in
crease in the cost of living, and the
advances which are being made con-
tlnuously in other industries, will in
evitably cause further increase in the
cost Of living" This means that lit
tie later on the board will have to ad-
vance wages again because it advanced
them this time, and so on The board
seems to despair of ever catching up
with this revolving process, and it
seems to doubt whether it's periodical
readjustment OF wages for the purpose
Of prom oting stability in war indus
tries is of much value, for it says:
Unfortunately every readjustment
of wages is Of necessity itself cause
OF widespread unrest and loss Of eff
clcncy,' which seems to be equivalent
to saying that, though it readjusts
wages to attain stability. the readjust-
ment process itself causes instability
However, the board sees no way out
but to continue the game of chasing
the cost of living with increased wages
and pursuing increased wages with
higher cost Of living around circle
whose diameter gets larger and larger
And so it says:
Until such time as the President
may determine that national interest
requires suspension of the policy of
advancing wages of laborers. helpers
and journeymen in the basic skilled
crafts to correspond with general and
material increases in the cost of living
we shall deem it our duty to be guided
in future readjustments by such ascer
tanned increases"
The shipyard schedule, which is for
the first time made practically uni
form throughout the United States,
an eight hour day, meaning by that
men receive that much and then the
scale above and below is adjusted
spondingly. While the board
finds that within the last year the
cost of living has advanced 20 per cent
on the Pacific Coast and Is per cent
on the Atlantic, it makes the basic in
creases Is per cent all over the coun-
try; the better paid men DO not get all
of Is per cent, but the men at lower
wages may get even more. Laborers
will henceforth get As cents an hour
on the North Atlantic Coast and So
cents an hour on the Pacific. AS over
time is the rule most everywhere, this
means that common labor has now ar
rived at a wage of $5 a day or more
One class Of skilled men, the heavy
forgers. get $1.49 an hour, and with
overtime may earn as much as S23.6S
day. Carpenters get sc cents an
hour and calkers 80 cents
The new schedule does not affect
the piece rate crafts, whose compen-
sation is now being considered by .
conference of the representatives of
the shipyards and the men.

Pacific Trade of
u. S. Shows Gain
Commerce Through Atlantic
Ports Falls OFF Seven
Per Cent

Gains in this country's foreign
trade recently reported have virtually
all been made through Pacific Coast
ports. A compilation by the National
City Bank shows that exports to the
Far East during the seven months end
ed July 81 showed an increasc of 70
per cent over the corresponding period
Of 1917, while those of the Atlantic
ports showed reduction OF about ii
per cent and those of the Northern
ports loss Of T per cent
In the imports the gains Of the Pacific
ports were also striking, showing an
advance of about 80 per cent over last
year, while those Of the Atlantic re-
veale6 loss OF per cent Gulf Of
Mexico ports showed gain of 20 per
cent in exports, but slight decline
in imports. The City Bank adds:
"Whether any considerable part of
this gain in the business of the Pacific
is due to a mere disposition Of COM
merce to keep away from the areas in
tested by the submarines can be better
determined by a study of TIE trade
with the principal countries and grand
divisions. In the trade Of the United
States with Europe the figures show an
actual falling oif in imports and ex-
ports. In the trade with South Amer
lea the imports show marked decline
but the exports a slight increase, while
in the trade with Asia and Oceania
both imports and exports show start
ling gains.
The recorded exports to Europe in
the seven months are but S2,20S, S,000,-
900, against $2,460, 900, 900 in the same
months of last year. while the imports
from that continent fell from. S2G4,-
100000 in the seven month sof 1917 to
S204, 100000 in the same months OF
the current year. To South America
the gain in exports is S9000,000 and
the fall in imports S30,00000G but to
ASIA there IS a gain Of S34, 100000 in
the seven months when compared with
those of the same months Of last year,
while the imports from Asia show a
gain of SS9,000,000 for the same COM
parative period. With the Oceania CON
dltlons are even more striking, the ex-
ports showing q gain of $1,O00,0 900 in
the seven months of 1913 and the i'm
ports therefrom an increase CT $50
100000 over the corresponding period
OF last year. Imports from Asia show
gain of 20 per cenl and .hose from
Oceanla over 100 per cent, while eX-
ports to Asia show gam of Is per
cent and those 90 Oceania az increase
OF over so per cent.
