VALUATION OF IMPORTED
GOODS.

Editor News-Times:
At the present time, when our
government has taken the lead in
matters Of disarmament and univer-
sal peace. the same enlightened pol
icy would seem opportune in tariff
legislation and customs rules. The
American valuation plan proposed in
the Fordney tariff, under which the
customs authorities would be
clothed with arbitrary powers, has
met with such general disapproval
that il will probably be Withdrawn.
Similarly, the recent ruling that con
signment shipments are 10 be asses
sed on the basis Of the American
selling price, while outright pur-
chases are TO be valued at the mar
ket price abroad, seems unfair and
should not be upheld. II would pen

The peouple of Birmingham should rejoice that regular symphony or- chestra has been formed here" said J.. s. Wilcox, "a splendid musician him. self and one who can always be count ed upon to uphold every move toward musical advancement.
 ''The value of great orchestra com posed of well trained musicians is in- ,calculable, and 1t is greatly to be hoped that the people of Birmingham will not only fully appreciate the ef- forts of those who are behind this en- terprise, but that they will take suf- ficient pride to give it the hearty sup port that it certainly deserves" s9
 Birmingham has great future. As the city continues to grow and prosper, so will its orchestra, which in a com paratively short time will do as much as, if not more than, anything else that could have been conceived to put the city in the very forefront. Besides this, we must take into account not only the great pleasure that 1t will af- ford to all music lovers. but the tre- mendous advantage that will be afford ed to all students of music.''
