Importing Impossible.
Not content with taxing imported
seeds and plants this Congressional
bill makes this unheard of stipula-
tion, viz, that the valuation for tax
alton shall not be based on European
costs but upon an American compel
tive cost. Thus the importer is not
only doubly taxed but moreover he is
kept in the dark as to what this
American valuation, which, of course,
is not fixed matter, shall be. He,
has no concept as to what
his goods will cost him delivered in
his store. Indeed, the whole aim Of
this bill seems to make all importa-
tion impossible-regardless of how
necessary this Importation may be for
the public welfare.-N. L. Willet in
