SCORES IMPORTERS
FOR TARIFF FIGHT
Fordney Charges Misleading
Propaganda Is Designed to
Prevent Legislation
DEFENDS VALUATION PLAN
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 21.-Charges that
importers, through misleading propa
ganda, were attempting to delay or
defeat" tariff legislation, and to ac-
complish this end we're centering an at
tack on the American valuation plan,
were made today in the House by
Chairman Fordney, Of the Ways and
Means Committee, who declared that
American valuation was the 'logical
solution Of the present day economic
conditions.
Opposition to the pending tariff
measure is readily traced" asserted
Mr.. Fordney, mot to the American
producer, not to the man who deals
chiefly in American made products, but
10 tho man who produces abroad and
the man whose chief interest is in
bringing the product of cheap foreign
labor to the American market.
"Those interested in importing enter
prises are well organized and spending
large sums Of money in an effort to
make you and me believe that what
they seek is for the countrys general
welfare.
Defends American Valuation
THE importer Is working to delay or
defeat tariff legislation, and to accom-
plish his end he is centcring his criti-
cism on the American valuation plan,
without which. on account of present
chaotic world conditions. it will be most
difficult to write tariff measure at
this time that will afford the slightest
degree of protection against countries
where protection Is most needed"
Declaring that he had examined the
propaganda in opposition to American
valuation, Mr.. Fordney contended that
a valid argument against the principle
involved is lacking"
"The whole opposition is founded on
the question of rates and on alleged in
creases of prices to the consumers they
predict will result from the new rates, "
the House was told.
Mr.. Fordney declared he had "dis-
covered that the department store
that is leading the fight against Amer-
can valuation, and Is zone of America s
largest importing establishments, re.
tailed at $5 each, knives bought in Ger
many at nine cents. Tremendous profits

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

There is one thing-and perhaps only one-for which the editor of a newspaper may always be thankful
 There is one time of the year when an editors heart rejoices and his heart sings and the whole world looks brighter. There is a season of the year when the mocking birds warble on the ridgepole of an edit ors heart and he huns as he works and whistles as he walks, as he thinks what a lovely world this is, and that is when income tax time comes. He never needs to worry about that. What he makes is al ways less than the exemption. There is no such thing as an income tax in his young life.-Douglas Island News.

 Germany is unable to carry on much trade with Russia now because the Germany industries have not re- covered from the war. France will have nothing to do with the Soviets. As the United States has taken the same attitude as France the only other nation that is equipped to carry on trade with Russia-Great Britain -has stepped in and is in fair way to secure at one stroke the whole immense Muscovite import trade. Even if the Soviet government falls, to be succeeded by a real Russian re- public, the canny British merchants will be on the ground and will un- doubtedly be in command of the Rus sian trade.

DECISION AGAINST
 HIGHWAY DISTRICT
us. SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF TWO ARKANSAS
 RAILROADS.
NO DEFINITE STANDARD
Is Declared That Discrimination in Little River County Is PaIpable and Arbjtrary-Benefits From Local
 Improvements Must Be Estimated

Washington, D. C.-The United States Supreme Court has reversed the Supreme Court of Arkansas and decided against an Arkansas road dis trict in the first of these cases to erach the court.
 The decision was made in the case of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company ys. Road Improvement Dis trict No. 6 of Little River county. Ar kansas.
 The railroad companies objected to being assessed by road commissioners for the construction of a gravel road 112 miles long. The commissioners had assessed the companies on ba sis of S7o00 mile for 9.2 miles of track coming within the taxable zone, total of s67900
 The decision, which was unanimous, was handed down by Associate Justice McReynolds.
 The statute under consideration ,rescribes no definite standard for de- termining benefits upon proposed i'm proYements,' the decision read. and we think the discrimination is palpa hle and arbitrary and amounts to a denial of the equal protection of the law
 They divided the farming lands into five zones determined by dis tance from the highways, and as sessed uniform benefits within the -;t n,I ments or market value.
 Town lots were assessed at S10, $15. $20 and s25 each, according to location.
 "A pipe line, a telephone line and ! telegraph line were severally as sessed at s25O. $500 and s35G per mile without any designed basis.
 Petitioners duly maintained that the assessments upon their property was unequal. arbitrary. unreasonable. and in violation of due process and the equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth amendment.
 The state courts held to the con. trary and in effect declared the stat ute providing for the roads improve ment district authorized the action taken by the board and so considered it was valid enactment The va. lidity of the statute having been ade- uately challenged, the cause is prop erly hereupon writ of error and the petition for certiorari will be denied.
 Benefits from local improvements must be estimated upon contiguous property. according to some slanuard which will probably produce approxi- mately correct general results.
 'To say that 5 : miles of railroad in a purely farming section treated as an aliquot part of the whole sys- tenn, will receive benefits amounting to $67,955 miles of gravel road. seem wholly improbable If not impossible. Equal protection of the law must be extended to all"

MAY PERFECT GAS WARFARE
British Expert Declares Chemicals
Less Cruel Than Other Weapons
of War.

London.-Sir William J. Pope. pro
fessor of chemistry at Cambridge uni
versity and president of the Society
of Chemical Industry, asserts in The
Chemical Age that chemical warfare
has come to stay, and pleads for an
open recognition by the government Of
poison gas research.
He says that in the war poison was
less fatal and far less cruel than any
other weapon; and points out that it
would be simple to devise high explo-
sive shells which would liberate large
quantities of carbon monoxide, against
which all known protective measures
are useless.
mo reason" he says, exists why
chemical should not be made which
does not kill, but produces local an
aesthesia, causes violent sneezing for
a few hours, or leads 10 some form Of
intoxication which may
prove Of great military value.
