BUILD TARIFF BARRIER
AGAINST GERMA NMARK
Otherwise United States Would Have
To Pay Duties On Its Own
Importat0ns.

Washington, d. C - Explanation of
the provisions in the emergency farm
tariff bill which takes up the differ
ences in international monetary ex-
change so that the United States may
not loose by exchange rates what it
seeks to gain by protective tariff du-
ties, is made by Chairman Fordney, Of
the Ways and Means Committee. He
says.
Section PA Of the bill is calculated
to equalize foreign exchange values
for custome purposes. Under existing
laws all duties are liquidated on the
basis of the currency the invoice or
appraised value. If that currency be
found to be deprecated, the duties are
assessed on the exchange value of
such deprecated currency as found on
the day of expectation The exchange
value of the currency of such foreign
countries importing goods into the
United States is in some instances so
low that the amount of duty collected
is very small. 1t is the practice of
some foreign sellers to pay for their
goods in American dollars, and to
state in their invoices that the home
value is ia lower unit price stated
in the deprecated currency of that
country. If the price paid by the
American purchaser were converted
into the currency of the exporting
country on the basis of the standard

which, when exported to and delivered
into this country, are valued at and

currency is limited as provided for in

Under present conditions, while the
importer pay duty only on the depreci-
ated mark and the goods are so in
voiced, he, in fact, frequently pays the
foreign seller a much greater price
because the export price is much
greater than the foreign home market
value. Where the invoice is in Ameri-
can currency and the importer enters

deprecated value of those marks"

particulars. through the broad, intelli-
gent liberality and splendid tact Of the
temporary chairman, which was
brought to bear to keep the discussion
in bounds.
Perhaps the most significant Incl
dent of the meeting was the enthusi-
asm and heat developed because of
certain remarks OF Mr.. B. w. Crouch
of Saluda and a brief colloquy with
Mr.. j. Z. Derham Of the tax commits
sion. .s.a
Il came to this conference" said Mr.
Crouch, rising to his feet appropos ol
nothing in particular, "supposing tina,
the purpose was to reduce taxes; but
from all l have heard here 1t appears
that the sole object is TO raise more
taxes. l am not interested In raising
more taxes. What | want is relief from
the terrible burdens that have already
been loaded upon us" &c
The declaration came out we#dorful-
~ clear-cut and sharp and II hit the
spot. There was an involuntary burst
of applause, handclapping and cheers
the first Of the day except the perfume
tory compliments to the presiding Off
Ger and the keynote speaker.
"The plea on which the tax commits
sion was erected" went on Mr. Crouch,
books millions of dollars of property
that are now escaping taxation"
"And II has done it," said Mr.. j. z.
Dcrham, rising to his feet.
Yes, you have done it," came back
Mr.. Crouch, but you tod us that the
addition Of this property would reduce
the levy and make the burden lighter
on us. In 1912 the levy was "a mills
and the apr opriations We're little
less than S2,000,000. This year you've
got our levy raised to II mills, and you
are making Us pay $6.5e0,00Q. What l
want is to get back TO pre-war appro-
priations." [Applause].
But the tax commission does not
make the appropriations said Mr..
Derham. 1T only puts the property on
the books and the legislature does the
appropriating."
Mr.. Crouch assured Mr.. Derham that
he meant nothing personal in his re-
marks; that he merely meant to en-
phasiZe how the increased assessed
valuation and the increased mill levy
had been increasing the burdens of the
people and he wanted relief.
Mr.. Derham. still directing his re-
marks to Mr.. Crouch, said:
"But since we have the increased
valuation and the increased levy, and
the 10 SO idi bSiS VA NAo''iS ~
erty, are you not in favor of adopting
means whereby this burden can be re-
distributed so as to put a part of it on
people who are not now carrying their
pfoportionate part? That is the pur>
. pose Of the action we are considering
now"
Mr.. Crouch repeated his previous
disclaimer of intention to be personal,
indicated sympathetic acquiescence in
the purpose OF the meeting with regard
to'more equitable distribution OF taxa
tion; but again emphasized his desire
to get rid of so many unnecessary in
stitutions with which the people had
been burdened. He wanted TO get back
to old time conditions.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing the executive committee got to-
gether with a view to agreeing upon
plans for educational work in the fur
therance of its pans.
