IN easy victory, some OF the Rotary
players being burdened with too much
avoirdupois to get around quickly
enough for such a spirited contest.

everything that goes with picnic life,
After supper the eighth grade CON-
peted with the seventh grade in
games. Some poppy songs and yells
were given and then the homeward
trip began. Arriving in town the
cars and trucks formed a circle ar
ound the flag pole, and gave a vocal
demonstration of Rotary and school
life. Rotarians. Rotari-annes, teach
ers, and pupils had one of the great
est and most congenial times Of their
lives, and the finest spirit of friendli-
ness and cooperation was fostered
among all forces represented.-Clay-

AMERICAN VALUATION PLAN
BRIEFLY EXPLAINED BY
TWO SIMPLE ILLUSTRATIONS

Washington, Oct. ll.-Considerable
confusion exists in the public mind
as to what is meant by the Ameri-
can valuation plan in connection with
the pending tariff bill. 1t can best
be explained by one or two illustra-
tons:
An American manufacturer, recent
ly returning from Germany, brought
with him a small package consist
ing of a nail file, a knife and scis-
sors, made OF first-class material and
OF good workmanship. He purchased
this pckage in Germany at the re-
tail price of three marks, which, at
the present rate, OF exchange. is a
little less than three cents Ameri-
can money. He also brought with
him a small package of handy tools,
consisting of a screw driver, nippers,
a puncher and a cork screw. The
retail price he paid in Germany for
this package was four marks. or a
little less than four cents American
money.
When previous tariff bills were
written, foreign exchange was norm
al and tariff could be assessed upon
foreign valuation Of goods without
injury to American industries. II
this plan were used at present in
the above two instances, and a tariff
of 100 per cent ad yalorem were as
sessed on the German articles men,
toned. on the basis OF their Ger
man valuation, il would increase their
cost to six and eight cents, respect
lively. Inasmuch as, under the scale
of wages paid in the United States
and the cost OF material in this coun-
try, duplicates of these articles could
not be produced at the factory for
less than IS to 90 cents the retail
price would, OF course. be consider
ably higher. In view OF this, a tariff
of even 100 per cent on such i'm
oortS, based on foreign valuation,
would be useless as a measure o.
rejection. The same illustration could
be apDlied to hundreds OF other ar
made in Germany, IS well as
~ o.he- European countries where

pressed in terms of American money.
