HIGHER OLIVE OIL
TARIFF |S0PPOSED
Figures Cited to Show U. S.
Produced Less Under High
Duty Than Low One.

Opposition to an increase in the
tariff on olive oil is being expressed
by the Olive Oil Importers Associa-
issued by the organization showing
that the American industry has pro-
duced less under high tariff than un-
der a low one.
I'm 1920" says the statement, Cali
fornia produced about 2 per cent of
the amount of olive oil consumed in
the United States. The highest
amount that they have ever produced
was in 1916, and this was about Az
per cent of the amount consumed. the
average importation being about A.
900, 600 gallons of edible oil.
THE following is quotation from
washington paper, April 16: Pro-
lection would enable the California
and Arizona producers to expand their
business and provide competitive con-
ditions. thus stabilizing prices We
ask why the production Of olive oil
in California remained around 100000
gallons in the years Of 1907 and 1912
when olive oil received the Payne
Adrich tariff of 40 and so cents a
gallon? We wish to advise that the
highest production of olive oil in
California was in 1916. when 2O0,260
gallons were produced and this was
during a low tariff year.
VIII Raise Fish Cost.
If the duty is raised to so and 70
cents it will mean that the California
fish Gamers will increase the cost of
operation by $500. 900 per year for the
amount of olive oil they have to use,
which must be passed on to the con-
sumer."
The California packers of sardines,
it is declared by the Olive Oil I'M
porters' Association, use three quar-
ters Of a million gallons of olive oil
yearly. which is imported.
1T is known in some cases for olive
trees to bear in approximately eight
years. but these olives cannot produce
the desired grade of olive oil the
American public demands. and in
most cases the olive oil which is i'm
ported from Europe comes from trees
not less than fifty years old. and in
many cases there are records Of olive
trees bearing at from 800 to 400 years
of age" continues the statement OF
the importers.
An increased duty to so to 70 cents
per gallon. as demanded by the Cali
fornia Olive Association. would tax
the consumer for the next fifty years
approximately $10e.000,O0O. This
500. 100000 is almost four times the
present value of the entire olive in
dustry Of California"

ANCIENT WAR SITE
T0BE UNEARTHED
Relics of Biblical City Of
Beth-shan to Be Sought
by Explorers.

PHILADELPHIA. May 4.-Relics of
seven or more cities which success
lively stood on the same site and of nine
different civilizations are expected to
be uncovered by the excavation of the
biblical city Beth-shan, in Palestine,
which is to be undertaken in June. The
work will be done under the direction of
Clarence S. Fisher, curator of the
Egyptian section of the museum of
the University Of Pennsylvania. Off
cial permission to undertake this work
has been received from the government
OF Palestine.
Beth-shan is now known as Beisan.
1t is situated in the valley of Jezreel,
just west of the Jordan and not far
south of the Sea of Gallilee.
More great battles are believed to
city than, perhaps, on any other spot
known to history. The investigators
hope to find there the keys to the whole
history Of that section of the world
written either on marble slabs contain
ing the laws, decrees. treaties and other
written in clay with cuneiform char
acters.
Strategic City.
Beth-shan was a strategic point of
value to any OF the great military
leaders Of ancient times who aspired
to try his hand at world domination.
1t was on the route of all the build
ers of ancient empires. BeginnT g
5000 years ago, 1t suffered the blt;
of the armies of Sargon, Abraham,
Hammurabi, Sennacherib, Nebuchad-
nezzar, Thothmes. Saul. David. Alex
ander. Pompey and Napoleon. Joshua
led his troops against shan, but
could not take it, because its de-
tenders used iron chariots-forerun-
ners of the tanks OF the world war.
The crusaders made Beth-shan a
point of attack in their vain efforts
to conquer Damascus. When the AS
syrians came down like a wolf on the
fold. Beth -shan was one Of the places
they took and it has been dominated
in turn by the Greeks. Romans and
Arabs.
Uhe investigators expect to find
there the strata of perhaps more than
seven cities, each built upon the ruins
of the other, as successive waves of
invasion swept over and destroyed
it. 1t is within sight of the Mount of
TRANSPORTATION. the scene of battles
between David and Saul, and the
Witch of Endor who recalled the
shade of the prophet Samuel to en-
tighten Saul, had her home near this
