WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, July 20.-Following
their established methods of proceed
ure during this administration of put
ting the cart before the horse. the
Republicans are now in the act of de-
batting and passing tariff bill when
the entire business interests of the
country are \clamoring for revision
of the tax laws.
The bill is well-named the Fordney
bill, for "Uncle Joe" Fordney is the
Grand Panjandrum of the tariff. To
him the tariff is panacea; it cures
corns, warts, bunions and chilblains;
prevents falling out of hair. strength
ems the kidneys, cleanses the liver, and
is good for what ails you whether any
thing is the matter with you or not.
1t is fashioned on the old lines Of
the Payne-Aldrich bill, only more so.
1t is being passed under a gag rule,
which prevents amendments except on
few schedules, the House delegating
its legislative function to the Ways
and Means Committee. The "joker"
in the bill is the American valuation"
clause, by which the value of the ar
ticle is fixed at the port of entry and
not at the port of shipment. This will
make the tariff rates much higher than
they appear to be under the schedules
of the bill. For instance. as the Phila-
delphia Record points out:
If foreign article is valued at 81
and the same article here is valued
at So and the duty. say. is 100 per
cent, the value of the foreign article
thus becomes 81 duty paid. The
American manufacturer could raise
his price to SO or even $3.50 and un-
dersell his foreign competitor and the
treasury would get no revenue WHAT
ever. 5U,
Representative Garner (Dem., Tex9
who made the principal speech against
the bill, declared that under American
valuation the present Underwood bill
would yield more revenue than the
Fordney bill.
Using the duty on straw hats, which
under the Payne-Aldrich bill was so
percent and 81 2-5 per cent under the
Fordney bill as computed by him, as
basis Of comparison, he said that the
same scale ran through the entire 346
pages of the bill. ~s4.
That the bill will continue, if not in
crease, the high cost of living, is more
or less obvious from even cursory
glance at the schedulesjiin addition to
which it is predicted that it will dis
arrange the entire eeohomics of the
country.
The agreement by which the bill is
to be voted on July 81 means only that
1t win pass the Hodse on that date by
almost a strict party vote, but it may
web be doubted if the bill becomes a
law before the regular session of Con-
gress this winter, first, because pro-
longed debate is certain in the Senate
with radical revision of the bill as
passed by the House, and secondly be,
cause it is probable that the Senate
will take up the tax revision bill as
soon as it comes from the House and

of the company and the splendid ex-

of the company and the splendid ex-
ecutiye ability of its officers. Hart
said that the purpose of tse. meeting
was to acquaint the stockholders, with
the status of affairs and to arouse
their enthusiasm, cooperation and
loyalty to the company, thus produc-
ing a stabilizing effect, enabling them
to carry on>business under the new
contract.
1t was further brought out in the
testimony that in a number of cases a
stakeholder who bought stock with
the understanding and contract that
he was to be store manager had de-
manded the return of his money or
the fulfillment of his contract because
the store had never been established,
and that the wages paid for "a store
keeper were based largely upon his
initial investment in the corporation,
and that in many cases the family of
the storekeeper were employed in va
rious capacities at salaries which pre-
cluded possible profit.
Hart admitted that while it was
not the policy of the company to post
pone the establishment of a store af-
ter sufficient stock had been disposed
of in that community to warrant its
opening, the financial condition Of the
stores then operating was such that
it became necessary to use the surplus
funds for the general good of the
company. He asserted that. due to
the general merchandising depression,
all the stores were operating at a
loss,

Disgruntled Shareholders

At the time that the petition in
bankruptcy was filed there had been
numerous suits brought aggregating
an amount of about $4,000 by dis
gruntled shareholders, and in some
instances judgment was obtained
against the corporation on the ground
that money was obtained because of
certain promises made which were not
fulfilled.
Specific details, Hart said, would be
shown by thorough examination of
the books, which has not as yet been
made, although contemplated by the
trustee and his attorney. The cost of
auditing the books would be about
$4,000, the trustee said.
The company's assets, according to
Bentrup, are 100000, with liabilities
amounting to $2,50O,000, $2,250,0OO
of the latter sum representing stock
investments.
In his examination LASTLY pointed
out that at the time of the stockhold-
>ers' meeting at which Judge W. M.
Pearson read the resolution indorsing
the executive conduct of the affairs of
the company, it was operating at a
loss of 100000.
The examination begun Monday of
the officers of the $20,000,000 Della
ware corporation will be deferred I'M
til September 10, in order to allow the
attorney. for the trustee to make an
examination of the books. The hear
ing follows the company's bankrupt
proceedings, after an attempt OF its
officers to establish a chain of 800
cash-and-carry groceries in small
towns of Missouri and adjoining states,

Commission MEN
IN CHICAGO MAY
NOT CUT RATES

In letter received by the
secretary of the New Mexico Cat
tie Growers association yestor-
day, the Chicago Live Stock FIX
change deplored the fact that
the state cattle growers, in a res
olution adopted at their conyen-
ton here, had taken the stand
that present commission rates
were: most excessive and en-
tirely out of proportion to the
existing market prices and con-
ditions,' without first investigat
ing the case.
Little hope of relief by a re-
duction of the recent commission
rate increases was held out by
the secretary of the department
which is handling the question,
who brought out the idea that
the same fine service was given
the growers regardless of the
price which the goods brought
on the market. ..
The inability Of the commits
sion men to do business on a
smaller commission was also
mentioned and it was pointed ou'
that it would be better for the
grower to pay the present rate.
than to suffer losses through deal.
ing with insolvent commission
men,
Stockmen at their convention
here a few weeks ago, discussed
the present rates at length ant
after investigation, claimed tina
they were entirely out OF proper
ton for the present status of tn,
cattle industry, which is critical
due to the reconstruction periot
which presents low market price

sion charges and feed prices.
