Ad Valorem Duties on Do

Proposed.
TEMPORARY TARIFF
PLAN ABANDONED
Tax and Customs Pro-
gram to Be Discussed
With Harding.

Proposals to enact q temporary
tariff bill revising rates Of duty
upward at the beginning of the
special session of Congress sched-
uled for April IL were definitely
abandoned yesterday.
A decision was reached. as a COM
promise, to rush through both
houses an anti-lumping bill and a
measure providing for the Ievying
of ad valorem duties on the do
nestle valuation instead of on the
foreign basis of valuation, as at
present.
Protection in EDergeney.
These two measures are designed
to give emergency protection to
American manufacturers. the for
mer by preventing foreign manu-
facturers from dumping goods in
this country below the cost of pro-
duction and the latter by eliminat-
ing the advantage given to foreign
goods by reason of the present eX-
change situation.
A permanent tariff bill will be
drafted at once by the House Ways
and Means Committee, probably be-
ing given precedence over tax re-
vision. but SO far as possible the
tariff and tax revision will be press
ed concurrently.
The program was considered at
a conference attended by Republic
an members of the Senate Finance
Committee and of the House Ways
and Means Committee. Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon and a half
dozen Treasury experts also were
present.
VIII Consult Harding.
The decision of the conference was
definite in SO far as the abandon
concerned and also in the case of
change In basis of valuation.
As to the precedence OF the per-
manent tariff bill and the measure
revising tax laws. a definite. de-
cision will be announced tomorrow
following a conference between SEN
ator Penrose, chairman of the Sem
ate Finance Committee, Represent
ative Fordney. chairman of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
and President Harding.
An informal vote of the Senators
and Representatives present at yes
terday's conference showed a pref
erence for going ahead with a per-
manent tariff first, but to expedite
tax legislation also. II this pro-
gram is approved by President
Harding, announcement of the def
mite decision will be made at once
and Chairman Fordney will then,
with the Republicans of the Ways
and Means Committee, without de-
lay, draft the tariff bill.
Tariff Data in Hand.
Representative Fordney expressed
the belief that the tariff bill can be
prepared so that it will be ready
for introduction in the House soon
after the convening of Congress in
special sessio on April IL.
Tentative decision to go ahead
with the permanent tariff was due
to the fAct that the House Commit
tee on Ways and Means already has
completed hearings on the tariff and
can draft a bill with the least delay.
The tariff bill would be reported
to the House soon after the middle
of April and passed possibly by the
end of the month. The Ways and
Means Committee then would begin
hearings on tax legislation and
probably report a tax bill to the
House some time in June.

And Eyes Bright.

DUBLIN, March 14.-Six Irishmen
paid the extreme penalty for fight
ing for Irish freedom at Mountjoy
prison at daybreak this morning.
During the executions 10000 men.
women and children chanted the Of
fees for the dead, outside the pris-
on walls.
They died like the heroes they
WERE" said Canon Walters. the
Roman Catholic priest who, admin
istered the last sacraments to the
~ Affairs Erected.
The scene about Mountjoy prison
was the imost impressive witnessed
in Dublin in many years. The kneel-
ing mourners in the roadways re-
sembled a huge religious service.
Rude affairs erected just outside the
prison walls were surmounted by
burning candles. while priests min
gled with the throng leading in the
singing of hymns and the reciting
Of rosaries.
There was no dry eye in the great
multitude and a great cry of an
guish went up as the nearby church
bells tolled the fatal hours-six,
seven, eight.
Canon Walters was the only man
present who discussed the last
scenes. He declared that the men
were unmoved and their eyes were
bright, and that they were glad to
die in the cause of Irish freedom.
Not one OF them finched, he said,
when the black caps were placed
upon their heads and all walked to
the eallows with firm step.
Work Suspended.
There was a total stoppage of
work in Dublin until after IL
o'clock. Even the postofice and
the government employees and
schools Joined in the universal
mark of sympathy.
Premier Lloyd Georges refusal to
be moved by appeals for reprieye
which came from all parts of Eng
land and ireland over the weekend
stirred the popular emotions to such
an extent that extensive reprisals
on the part of the Sim Feiners are
feared by the military authorities.
Immediately after the executions
Dublin Castle ordered all soldiers
confined to their barracks for an
indefinite period.
Guards on Duty.
During the hours that the mul-
titudes were watching at the gates
of the prison, armored cars full of
soldiers guarded the prison walls
and an aeroplane droned overhead
from sunrise on.
The men who were executed were
Patrick Moran. Thomas wheian,
Frank Flood, Bernard Ryan, Thomas
Bryan and Patrick Doyle. All
were accused of participation in
ambushes which resulted in the
deaths of members of the British
Intelligence ONCE.
When the warders of the prison
posted the notices that the execu-
tions had been carried out the
crowds outside the walls maintained
absolute silence for several min
utes.
Wife Collapses.
The wife of Patrick Doyle two
weeks ago gave birth to twin sons.
One of the babies died and was
buried today. She was not told of
her husbands doom until Saturday,
and she visited with the surviving
twin on Sunday to bid him goodby.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

There are arguments for and
against the plan for daylight saving.
Ap investigation of the countrywide
controversy on that topic reveals this
fact-that daylight saving is general
ly opposed by the farming elements,
while the people in the cities favor it.
But after giving the subject some
consideration, in it's aspects as they
would affect Bennington, the Banner
concludes that the suggestion of L. Fl.
Nichols, which was embodied in his
communication that appeared in
Monday evenings issue of this news
paper, conveys the correct idea, name
| ~, that Bennington should be put on
the daylight saving schedule.
| From the viewpoint Of health alone
daylight saving should interest the
man or the woman who is employed
in factory Office or store The hour
Of sunshine in the evening, which
daylight saving extends to those EN-.
lployed in combining occupations,
should more than counter-balance any
Inconvenience - if Inconvenience
there be-in the daylight saving
Ischeme, No less an authority that
Dr. Copeland, late head of New York
lCity's health department, is emphatic
in the statement that daylight saving
makes for better health among people
employed in the industries. This be-
ing SO. The Banner indorses the plan
and urges that it be adopted by the
village trustees.

Nine Leon is the daughter of Count
