The American Boy Tariff Victim

A"S AHSiNoh DOy Adiiu NiStIu
A tariff bill of the Fordney type
does not wait until the man is grown
in order to mulct him, but levies its
tribute even upon that most patriotic
of patriotic Americans, the American
boy. As Representative Jones says:
"Pocket knives which are essential
to the happiness of every American
boy, are given levy of forty per cent.
That is enough to break the heart of a
boy who has been saving his money
for the purpose of buying a pocket
knife.
"Here in another place we find fish
hooks, rods, reels and artificial bait
with thirty-five per cent ad valorem
tariff. When the American boy wants
to go fishing he must pay for the
privilege"
Representative Jones also points
out that the boy who buys a bicycle
must pay thirty per cent duty and
that even the privilege of education
is taxed by twenty per cent duty on
books. The boy who covets watch
must pay $O.75 to $1O.75 ad valorem
for the privilege of buying one and
knowing what time of day it is.

Intelligent Republican Press Against
FOrdney Bill


No newspaper in the United States
is better index of how the most in
telligent members of the Republican
press regard public affairs than the
Boston Transcript. Here is what the
Transcript thinks of the Fordney tar
iff bill as it passed the House:
GAS it passed tine House the Ford
ney tariff bill was not as bad as it was
at certain stages Of the debate. Hides
and skins were placed on the free list,
as were oil, long staple cotton and as
phalt. On the final vote the agricul-
tural block was badly split. But at
best, even with theGe changes, the
Fordney bill is much too bad even to
become law by the act of party
that expects to be continued in pow
er. Tariff laws far less unpopular
than the Fordney bill have been un-
popular enough to cost the party that
passed them the control of the Lower
House of Congress at the ensuing
election" astat..

Democrats and Tax Revision

The tax revision bill will probably
be reported some time in the latter
part of August when it is expected to
rush it through the House under the
same gag rule preventing amendments
by which the tariff monstrosity was
passed. After its passage by the
Senate it is planned that Congress
shall take recess, following which
the Senate will take up the tariff bill.
It is not the intention of Democrats
in Congress or of party leaders to an

ditional cost.
"Table knives are given the penalty
Of sixteen cents each, so that when the
housewife buys dozen table knives
she must pay $1,92 for the privilege of
furnishing her table with silver knives.
An additional amount is levied upon
forks, spoons, tablewares, etc. If she
buys a pair of scissors she must pay
three cents each, plus thirty-fve per
cent ad valcren.
"Here is the furniture schedule
which levies from twenty-five to fifty
per cent on furniture, so that the
American home will be penalized when
an effort is made to secure the neces-
sary furniture for the operation of
the home. Carpets are given a levy
of from one to five cents, plus twenty
to thirty per cent ad valorem. 1t
seems that on some Of these articles
they were ashamed to state all of the
levy in one form, so they doubled up
in the form and thus got them from
two different angles.
"The housewife must pay for her
clock thirty-fve per cent ad valorem,
and if she secures a clock with jew.
els, an additional amount of 81 to SO
for each clock is added.
Electric light bulbs and lamps are
given a thirty-five per cent levy, so
that those who use electric light for
the purpose of reading and working
or for amusement must pay for that
privilege"
These tariff taxes are in addition to-
what the housewife must pay in taxes
on food, clothing, shoes and wearing
apparel generally.

CHANGE in COUNTY ASSESS
MENT URGED BY TAX
COMMISSION
Second Biennial Report Recommends
the Elimination of the Town.
ship Assessor and the Es-
Enlistment of Coun-
ty Units.

Jefferson City, Jan. 13.-Elimlna-
ton of the township assessor and the
establishment of county units as a
more equitable method of assessment
is recommended in the second blen-
NAL report of the State Tax Comm's-
sion, made public here today. Men,
hers of the commission are: II.
Choutcau Dyer, St. Louis; Roy y,
Dalymeyer, Jefferson City.
The report calls attention to the
fact that while land i'll Worth County,
in the northeast section of the State
is assessed at an average OF we per
acre. land in Harrison County, which
Immediately adjoins it. has all aver
age assessment. OF $40 per acre.
1t shows that the average assess
ment OF town lots i'll Worth County
H. $50 and OF the same class ct
property in Harrison County is S22I.
II is also shown that the average as
se5sed value of sheep in Stoddard
County is $lI.lo, while just across the
line in Scott County the average is
$500. The report caustically COM
ments: IF the farm lies part in one
county and part in the other, it well
behooves the owner thereof to see
where he takes his sheep to pasture
on the first day of June"
Although the commission recon-
mcnds equitable assessment it
does not recommend an assessment
based on the full cash market value Of
property, as provided by law. The
general practice is to assess at about
onc-half or one-third the full value
and increase the tax rate
The total assessed valuation of all
taxable property in the State for 1920
is $4,000, 286,o66. according to the re-
port. The total of town lots is Civ
en- at $1,14o.5Sr.7I7 and the total Of
lands is given at $7oo.667.333. The
total of personal property assessed is
$3.50. 364.422 and the total assessment
against public service corporations is
S222672,5o4.
The total assessment in st. Louis,
as reported by the local assessor was
S77I.S47,68o. The Tax Commission
reduced this amount Sroooo7o,'.

State Park Site.

Jefferson City, Jan, l,,-The mem
bers of the legislature have been in
vited to visit Ha Ha Tonka in Cam
den county. the, purchase of which
will be recommended to the general
assembly for a state park.
Representative Chalfant OF Camden
county announced that plans Here be-
ing made to take the members to the
site of the proposed park in automo-
biles. He said that arrangements Tor
their entertainment would be made by
I. B. Dunlap of Kansas City, repre-
senting the Snyder heirs. the owners
of the 5.2oo-acre tract which COM
poses the park.
Governor Gardner in his farewell
message to the legislature recon-
mended the purchase of the entire
park if it can be bought at reason-
able price. The state recently was Of
fered a part of the park for sec, 900
and the remainder at $4,000. 1t Is
not believed the legislature will ray
as much as $780, 900 for the land mas
much as it has been Offered at less
figure at previous sessions of the leg
islature.

Farm Topics.

When one sees folk pay ten cents
for an apple which costs the retailer
less than two cents, it is easy to think
OF America as billion dollar coun~
try.
A few minutes given at definite
time each day will keep a record Of
the farm business, and with accurate
figures at the end of the season a
person can see at glance where
money is being made and lost.
Ninety billion pounds of milk,
which would make river of milk,
one hundred and thirty-seven feet
wide and one inch deep encircling the
earth at the equator were produced
in the United States last year. At
the average price of milk in the coun-
try this milk was worth two billion
dollars.
To prevent chapped hands, use the
following easily prepared mixture:
Mix the strained juice of two lemons
with one ounce OF glycerin and add
20 drops of carbolic acid This wili

Cost.

Milwaukee. Wis. Jan. I3.-James
|P. Orr. Cincinnati. was reelected
president OF the National Shoe Re-
tailers' association. Other officers
included Charles Williams, St. Louis,
fourth vice president.
The cost of hides from which the
leather for shoes is made. is now
down to the level of before the war.
L. D. H. Weld of the commercial re-
search department of Swift 4 Co..
stated Thursday in addressing the
meeting.
Citing examples of how prices of
hides have fallen, Weld said one
grade which sold for so cents a pound
a year ago now brings only about IS
cents, and calf skins. from which the
"uppers" for shoes are made. have
fallen from 81 a pound to about IS
cents.
Weld said since the demand has
fallen off. packers have had to keep
on buying cattle, hides have accumu-
lated in large quantities and are now
on their hands.
