.O|L PRODUCERS IN MEXICO ASK
 LOWER TARIFF
American Producers Contend Rates Should Be Raised,
 Not Decreased

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Varying duties on crude oil were proposed be- fore the senate finance committee to- day by spokesmen for mid-continent producers and all duties were opposed by American producers operating in Mexico and representative of various classes of oil consumers in this cOun- try.
 Renewing the fight for a tariff levy
 which was lost in the house by an
 overwhelming vote, Senator Harold,
 Republican, Oklahoma, said he was
 satisfied with the original rates pro
 posed by the ways and means con-
 Tittee, 35 cents a barrel on crude
 and 25 cents barrel on fuel.
 A duty of $1 a barrel was urged by
 Harry H. Smith of Tulsa, Okla, sec retary of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas association, who said this would Gqualize the difference in cost of pro- duction in Mexico and in the mid continent fields.
 w. H. Gray of Tulsa, representing tne National Association Of Indepen- dent Oil Producers, urged that the president be empowered to assess a duty equivalent to the combined i'm port and export levies imposed by Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, from which the chief American i'm ports come.
 Spokesmen for the domestic produc- CTS said, and some members of the ! committee agreed, that the m1d-con- | tinent industry was in a bad condi- 1 tion at this time. Smith said that 1 100000 small wells could not continue 1 in operation at present prices and a tariff ought to be enacted as a pro- | lection and a conservation measure. Opponents of a duty on oil said a tariff protection was no: necessary
 and would serve only to increase the 1 price to consumers. They laid partic- 1 ular stress upon what they said would 1 be the effect on the farmers, mer- l chant marine, the navy, the consum-
 CTS of manufactured gas, railways ana i industries using oil for fuel, and upon
 tine users of automobiles, trucks and | tractors.
 They also argued that higher priced
 Gil would increase the cost of and re- tard road building and building oper- | ations and that since the government aided in constructing the roads, it
 would have to pay part of the duty. This also was true, they said, with re- spect to oil used by the navy.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Sears, Roe. buck & Company today reported the sale to Joseph Rosenwald, president of the company, certain of It's Chicago real estate for S16,000,000, and the gift of 50,000 shares of stock from Rosenwald, thus permitting the com pany ito go through this period of readjustment with it's capital unim- paired and with a small surplus"
 Rosenwald already has made the first payment of 25 per cent, or $4,- 60,000, on the real estate in cash and Liberty bonds.
 Rosenwald's gift to the company of 5G,000 shares of it's common capital stock, having par value of s5,OOO,- 900, is on condition that the said shares be not sold for less than par, ant that he be given the option, for period of three years, to purchase these shares from the company at rar, for cash.

 "The price which MT. Rosenwald paid for the property reflects the value as determined by independent appraisal, which, by reason of appre- citation over many years, is far in ex- cess of book value. No expense in the transaction was incurred by the company for bonus, commission or brokerage. The company will have the use and occupancy of the prop erty for 20 years and, no doubt, for as much longer as 1t may desire"
