obligations of the government to the
railways. encouragement to develop

in production, and research and edu-

The witness said that he and Mrs.
Stillman and her two children made

According to local contractors

OPINIONS VARY
ON HIDES TARIFF

With the adding OF Is per cent.
tax on hides imported into this
country by the House yesterday.
local leather manufacturers are di-
vided on their opinions as TO the ef-
feet such a tax will have on the
local leather industry. One manu-
facturer said such a tax would cause
an increase in the price OF leather
used FOR shoes, while another manu-
facturer said the import tax will act
as a stabilizer
Taking hides on the free list will
probably raise prices a little, but not
much" said Charles Beadenkopf, Of
the charieg Beadenkopf Company.
II is per cent duty is placed on
hides imported into this country. I
can't see where il will raise prices
to more than an infinitesimal degree
that viii hardly be noticeable. with
hides selling now at 10 cents a pound
1 can't see. in my opinion, that il
will raise prices any more than a
cent and a half a pound. and there
isn't a pound OF sole leather in a
pair Of shoes. II will have a good
moral, helpful, stabilizing effect on
the leather market and I am in favor
OF it,"
James I. Ford, OF the Wilmington
Leather Company. expressed the be.
lief that the tariff action would re.
suit in considerable price increases
both in shoes and other products.
without doubt, leather goods. par
