JUDGING GOODS

In the present day of hibh prices
the fact develops more plainly than
it ever did before that few people are
judges of quality, They go according
to price in most instances, as many
Harrison merchants will tell you, and
they have as general rule very little
knowledge of real value.
1t is not always the case that the
highest priced goods give the best
wear. Other things than wearing
quality enter into price.making. A
pair of hose costing five dollars may
be cheap at the price, all things con.
sidered and still not wear as long as
a pair that cost dollar. And If this
is true of wearing apparel how much
more so is 1t true Of thousand and
one other commodities, especially
household goods, Then too, there
seems to have grown up around prices
sort Of myth-a belief that the more
a thing costs the more it is worth and
the more readily it sells the better It
is. Just as il the price had anything
to do with either the beauty or the
wearing qualities of the article in qnes.
tior.
When our mothers and fathers went
to the store they aid not look at the
price. they looked at the wearing quail.
ity of the goods. Today few peor'e
look at the quality Of the goods--they
huy more according to the price And
as result there are more complaints
about the poor quality of goods now
than there used to be. However,
there are still left lot of people who
have the right idea-and that is to
consider both quality and price before
making any purchase.

CAPITOL CHATTER

WASHINGTON Feb. l9-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall gets rather tired, some
times of the interminable chatter in
the senate that leads nowhere. Every
so often the senate will start off a
tangent, get completely away from
its order of business, and spend hours
Just talking, like crows of village
wiseacres around the stove in a cross
roads grocery store This sort of
thing il is that led Marshall to say
recently that he is fed up" on the
senate
The other day, after one of these
oratorical excursions into realms far
afield from the business of the day,
some senator who wanted to get back
asked Marshall what the order of busi-
ness was.

yawn, "the good of the world, guess" !"

Marshall isn't a candidate for any
)thing so two stories about him won't
raise the suspicion that he has a press

so adept at reeling off the patter in

Somebody suggested to him that he
would save himself a lot of work by
getting a talking machine record made

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Com-
plete revision of the revenue and
tariff laws, one Of the most difficult
problems ahead of congress, prob
ably win not be accomplished until
several months after Preiden1-e elect
Harding takes Office, the majority Of
congressman who have returned to
Washington believe.
The question republican leaders
must settle when congress recon
venes December sixth is whether
| business depression calls for amend
ments to relieve some of the war tax
burdens or whether nothing should
be done until a complete tax revision
can be made. A conference of the
senate finance and the house ways
and means committees probably will
be held during the first few days of
the session to decide.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
senate financial committee, has taken
the position that no amendments
should be made until the entire reve-
nue. and tariff systems are revised.
The demand for some amendatory
action of the revenue laws is grow
Ing stronger, however. Otherwise it
is pointed out little relief from some
taxes that are considered burden
some could be had until next April
or May.
Because OF the present business
conditions finance leaders here are
being asked for deferment of the in
come and excess profits tax pay
ments due December Is. These taxes
are >on large profits made during the
calendar year 1919.
Another demand already appearing
will be for repeal of the taxes on
ice cream, soda water and theatre
admission which probably affect a
greater number of people directly
excess profits and income tax re-
turns also win be asked.
A suggestion advanced by Senator
Hoke Smith, Georgia, is that the sec
retary of the treasury determine what
part OF future tax payments are for
of government bonds and
then allow the tax payer to pay that
percentage of his tax on Liberty
bonds at par.
An emergency tariff measure sug-
gested by some returning congress
men is an anti-dumping bill. The
claim is made that with a high tariff
in prospect, under the new republi-
can administration, the country
would be flooded with the products
of cheap foreign labor to be stored
in the hope that their value would
rise when the new tariff becomes
effective.

The commission is project of

Its proceedings are entirely in
formal. Jane Adams, of Chicago,
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, and
Frederick Howe, former immigration
at New York, were
among members participating in the
opening sessions.
Because Of refusal Of the British
embassy here to send representa-

be entirely one sided. For this reason
the commission has decided to limit

tions or events which they know of
