that therc are none beside Dbregon

Obregon's Difficulties

That conditions are bettering in
Mexico is an inference to be drawn
from Mexico's recent absence from
the news. The decision Of the Mex
can Supreme Court about the non
retroactivity Of Article XVII Of
the Mexican Constitution is now ac-
cepted as definite forward step.
1t does not settle Inc recognition
question, but it has greatly helped.
Adequate evidence that American
and foreign life and property arc
safe in Mexico IS not yet furnished,
bat there is clearly a better spirit in
Mexico.
That the chanqe proceeds slowly
Is natural. Political cxigencics for
bid any action that might wound the
sensitive pride of the Mexicans. But

Under the S,lrface

The city's registration for 1921 is
1868, ,364, OILY 105,5O9 short G. The
record registration of 1920. TIE
municipal campaiqo THIS year has
been dull compared with the cam
paign Of 1877, 1913 or 1909. There
has been little surface excitement.
But the unusual registration total
indicates that the voters are taking
seriously the issue between lea Ser
ship Of the Clrran type and leader
ship of the Hylan type.
Are we becoming more interested
or less interested in the benefits Of
good local government? Have the
voters Of to-day more pride IN the
outward aspects Of city life and
more concern for cleaner streets, bet
ter city planning, better police and
fire protection, more adequate school
facilities and the reduction of living
costs which would follow an i'm
provement Of railroad and port ter
minal facilities than they had ten
or twenty years ago?
They are more intensely concerned
than they were, according to many
signs of the times in politics. This
sharpened sense Of civic duty is more
appreciable to-day, when women
vote, for women lack the partisan
traditions which used to control so
largely even in municipal campaigns.
They have little love for Tammany
or for any organization as such.
They know that wherever the city
government touches them they are
far from getting out of that contact
what they ought to get.
This year 572,306 more voters
are registered than were registered
in 1917. That is one of the most
encouraging aspects of the aituation
The 1917 election turned on personal
frictions ana antagonisms. To-day
the city is calmly preparing to elect
Mayor, not to punish anybody, but
to carry out policies which major
ity believes to be to the common in
terest.

Closing a Factory
Manufacturer Waits for Tariff Based
on American Values
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

! To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Washington asks: "Why this
unemployment"
First -Undervaluation that costs the
United States $100,0O000 each year.
What is the cause? We are Importers
We do not have to swear to the invoice
price Of the goods we import. If We
buy a dozen gloves for $50 francs we
can invoice at 1870 francs and pay the
duty on the 120, and the government
loses. 1t is simple. Pay cash in Eu-
rope, have an agent ship tho goods at
any price. The dishonest importer
knows that the appraisers cannot keep
informed, from day to day. as to the
wholesale prices in 10 countries, and
it has always been absolutely impos-
sble for them so to do.
Both Democratic and Republican ap-
praisers arc IN favor Of American
valuation, because it Is so much easier
to administer tariff founded on
wholesale prices OF commodities In the
United States. This means to the ap-
praiser that the present difficulties
arising from the fuctuation in fore gn
exchange will be eliminated. 1t also
means doing away with the discrimi-
nations and securing an equal amount
Of duty Oh the same commodities, from
whatever country imported.
1t will put Japan, which pays Is
! Y,l
equal basis with Canada at SO day
and Germany at So a week. For ex-
ample, If Japan makes ton OF stee!
costing $40, Canada $18 and Germany
$l2, they would all pay the same duty
on an American valuation Of $40, what
ever the rate on the tariff bill; say 10
per cent; each country would pay So
duty 8 ton.
American valuation Is only admins
trative, has nothing to do with rates
and does not make things cost more,
but makes all pay their honest duty
It will mean 81 less in taxes to every
nun and woman in the United States.
One hundred and eight million pairs
OF gloves have been imported in the
last year The effect is that we, for
the first time in twenty years, have to
close our factory within the next fif-
teen days for an indefinite time. The
emergency tariff pat duty on hair on
Spanish raw skins of 10 cents q pound
or about So dozen, but charges the
German leather dresser only $l35 a
dozen on finished leather. We pay
S1.65 more duty. German wages are
SIS a week. We pay s25 for less work.
Germany pays 80 cents to 60 cents for
nnilines, we 81 to $1.45. Do you see
why our factory must close?
Under this tariff we are helpless. At
the recent Chicago convention Of manu-
facturcrs, which / attended, the manu-
facturers from every state were
unanimous in the opinion that we can
not go on or start up our factories
until an adequate tariff bill founded on
American values, is passed. With its
passage a million and half men will
be put to work in our factories alone
and this will furnish mployment to
railroad men, miners, clerks and arti-
sans of every trade
