DRAFT OF TARIFF BILL
is NEARING COMPLETION
Display Determined Opposition to
American Valuation Plan Pro-
posed by House Committee.

Washington, D. C-Administrative
provisions, including the American
valuation plan and scheme for pro.
noting reciprocal trade arrangements
with other countries, form the chief
features Of the permanent tariff bill
awaiting approval Of the republican
members Of the ways and means com.
mittee this week.
The American valuation plan will be
approved by almost a unanimous vote
of the republican members. Only one
Representative Green, Of Iowa, is un.
derstOod to have opposed the plan In
view OF the fact that all the other re-.
publican members appear to be lined
up for it, he is not expected to carry the
fight to the floor 1t Is his position
that the present plan OF assessing ad
yalorem duties ON the foreign valua-
ministrative difficulties in prospect
in changing the century old custozn
to the assessment Of duties on the
American wholesale selling price.
AS drafted the American pan is to
become effective on all commodities
on which ad yalorem daties are i'm
posed and without any additional time
being allowed beyond the date when
the new rates OF duty go into force.
1t provides for the determination of
the wholesale selling price in the prin-
cipal markets OF the United States on
the dates the goods left foreign ports.
While opposition TO the American
valuation plan may be expressed on
the floor Of the house as a result Of
the determined fight being waged
against the scheme by importers, a
serious attempt to eliminate it prob
ably will not be made until the bill
reaches the senate. Predictions are
made by opponents Of the plan that
the senate finance committee will re-
ject il.
Various provisions for reciprocal
trade agreements with other countries
and for authority by the president to
bargain with other countries will be
included III the BILL, but TINT these
will be entirely satisfactory tp the ad.

G. 1. BROWN is NEW PRESIDENT
United Telephone Co. Elects Ohicsrs
For Coming Year

The United Telephone Co., at it's
annual meeting Friday elected @. L.

Wareham, Manhattan, vice presi-
dent; J. o. Wilson, Salina, chairman
Of the board; Fred Coulson. Abilene,

ming and much Of Its development
to one Of the leading companies OF

FIFTH DISTRICT TO CHANGED
Redlstricting Plan Said to Affect Its
Territory

The Salina Union says the inside
dope Is that the Fifth district vii
be materially changed when Kansas
eliminates one Of its eight congress.
men.
The redistricting plan divides the
state as follows:
First-As at present, except fol
the addition Of Marshall and Wash
ington counties.
Third-As at present except that
Cowley is detached and added to the
new Fifth.
Fourth-This district will be In
the middle Of the state, including
from Coffey to Mcpherson county on
the south and Clay, Riley and PottO-
watomie on the north.
Fifth-Sedgwick Sumner, Har-
vey. Butler, Cowley, Greenwood
and woodson counties.
Sixth-As at present, plus the
addition Of tier of counties on the
east from Republic to Saline.
Seventh-Unchanged.
This would put Congressman
Strong in the First district as he
lives in Marshall but It does not
mean that he would lose place In
congress. Marshall county has the
best political organization in the
state and by 1t has held the congress-
man for thirty years, except one
term, and is likely to for thirty
years more. 1t will be a force as
usual. Mn Strong Is fighting to.
keep the district as 1t is, as 1t means
permanency for his place without
much effort as the district now
stands.
The district in which Dickinson
would be contains these counties:
Fourth district-Clay, Riley, Pot
Dickinson, Geary. Wau-
baunsee, Usage, Morris, Marion,
Chase, Lyon and Mcpherson.

RAILROAD FARE WAS $607,173
And That Wasn't All 1t Cost to
Move Funston Troops

1t cost in actual railroad transpor.
tation charges $807.173 to move the
troops from Camp Funston under
the recent order Of the war depart
ment to abandon the Kansas canton
ment. That is revealed through the
testimony of Gen. w. D. Conner be-
fore the house appropriations COM
mittee in response to questions by
Representative Anthony Of Kansas.
This covers, as pointed out, mere
ly the rail charge. While no other
cost was given, Representative An
thony said that the. operation en-
tailed thousands Of dollars Of addi-
tional cost. in getting the quarters
at Meade in shape to house the new
troops. He estimated that the
change cost the taxpayers around
100000. This incident is typical
of the reasons the army has be-
come such an expensive institution.
Changing Minds" Cost Millions
Both Camp Pike and Camp Meade
were available when the troops were
ordered originally to Camp Funston.
But the general star decided the
troops should 60 to Funston. Then,
months later, they, changed their
minds and ordered the transfer to
Pike and Meade with a cost Of more
than 100000 for railroad expense
alone. without taking into consid-
GRAFTON the original cost Of sending
the troops to Funston. When
changes Of minds as to policy cost
more than one-half million dollars,
In this one incident, It can be seen
on what Is based the claim Of MEM
bers Of congress that business ad-
ministration of the war department
can save millions annually to the
government. H
Concerning the abandonment Of
Camp Funston for Camp Pike as q
divisional camp for the 7th corps,
General March, chief Of stan, was
asked why the Arkansas post was
preferred by the department. The
testimony shows he said Pike was
chosen because the cavalry officers
at Fort Riley asked to have the
whole reservation turned over to
them for the cavalry school In view
of-the Intention OF enlafging the
school. As the government owned
Gimp Pike. as well as Funston. out
right. the department decided to use
Pike for the division.

reaus, experts, offices and clerks
which overlap those Of the states
aud require the collection Of many
dollars from the taxpayer to one re-

Capitalization Of power here In
Washington which Is unwise and
dangerous to our Republic.
Those who are expecting to Sc
cure the positions to be created In
the federal bureaus under these
new measures are sending out pro-
paganda urging the people to insist
on them, disregarding the fact that
the states could inaugurate and con-
troll these measures and thereby save
millions to the taxpayer. Take ply
steal education for example. Zach
state could pass law requiring the
local school board to hire physical
directors thereby securing immed-
late results with local control adapt
ed to local conditions.
81 am inclined to vote for the
and child welfare bills as
they can be administered by exist
ing bureaus and require but a few
but other bills now sug-
gested will cost hundreds Of mil

more than its income.
