VALUATION
IMPORTS CRITICIZED
BY WESTERN BUYERS
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, March 29-Protests
Republican leaders to provide for tar
if taxation at American instead of
foreign valuations are being received
by members of the senate finance and
house ways and means committee.
That inequalities and injustices would
result. especially to consumers of i'm
ported wares in the middle section of
the United States is declared by busi-
ness concerns objecting to the new
valuation plan.
Those criticising the American valu-
alton system, adopted to increase tar
iff returns and also, in effect, to raise
tariff rates and provide more protec-
tion for American industry, contend
that American values of merchandise
differ at Boston, New York. San Fran
cisco, New Orleans and others ports
of entry, and that no inflexible stand
ards of valuation are feasible. The
price difference, 1t is contended, would
be more in the middle country because
of the transportation distances from
the seabcard.
Admit Bad Features.
Prominant Republicans of the con-
gressional taxations committees con-
cede that there is some merit in the
objections to the valuation legislation
but believe that it's benefits would be
much greater than any harm which
would result. Objections raised. the
Republican leaders say. can be met
by provisions under consideration to
give the treasury appraisers authority
to equalize valuation differences at the
different American ports of entry.

MILLIONS RETAINED
RESUlTTAX DECISION

WASHINGTON, March 29.-TTeas-
ury officials in studying today the de-
cisions handed down i'll the income tax
cases yesterday by the supreme court
expressed the belief that regulations
under the revenue laws by which taxes
have been collected since 1916 had
been greatly strengthened:
The decisions holding that any gain
derived from corporate securities, or
corporate assets and any. increase in
the value of capital investment when
realized is taxable as income, will
mean. it was said that the treasury
will be enabled to retain funds esti-
mated at several hundred million dol
lars involved in litigation, Or paid
under protest pending a decision by
the supreme court.
It will be some time before officials
can give an estimate of the actual
amount Of money involved in the de-
cisions because auditing Of tax returns
by the treasury is far behind, returns
for the calendar year 1917 not yet
having completely checked. Officials
said, however. that they expected soon
to be able to state the direct effect OF
the decision on the treasury depart
ment's revenue policies.

ALL EARLY FRUITS
DAMAGED, EXTENT YET
UNKNOWN, SAYS kUTH

Cali early fruits, such as peach,
apricot. cherry, plum and pear, un-
doubtedly are damaged to some ex-
early to determine the exact amount
said Stephen Kuth today.
Many buds were frozen solid this
morning, said Mr.. Kuth, who had diff
ferent fruit buds under the micro
scope for the purpose of determining
the damage. There was ice in the
not yet grown warm enough to bring
out the color change in the buds
which would show the freeze.
Cold Penetrates Buds
It was the duration of the cold snap
which was the worst feature rather
than the low temperature, according
to the fruit man. He stated that this
gave the cold time to penetrate to
a shorter time would not have driven
the cold insofar and the fruit might
have come through.
The temperature went down to 2O
degrees according to the recording
thermometer at the pumping station,
while W. E. Moore, with instruments
in a more exposed position, reports a
minimum of II degrees. The tempera,
ture was below freezing from 6 o'clock
yesterday until this morning while
KIth reported freezing weather as
early as 1 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Clover Causes Worry.
Milo Brown of Fountain City said
that plums and peaches were badly
damaged on his farm, though it was
still too early to estimate the extent
of the freeze easily.
Clover seedlings which are just ur
are causing farmers uneasiness on
account of fear that they will be
wiped out.
Walter Ratliff states that though
buds which were caught by the freeze
Monday night are undoubtedly killed
dormant buds and those slow in com
ing out, may still make a fair crop OF
peaches and cherries, and that there
will probably be some plums. Apri
cots are all gone according to him. but
apples and perhaps the bush fruits
are unharmed.

WASHINGTON, March 90 The
railway situation held first place in
cabinet discussion today. President
Harding calling for opinions from his
circle of counsellors preparatory to
the framing of a general administra-
tion policy.
1t was indicated that the question
of railway legislation probably would
be touched on in the presidents mes
sage to the special session of congress
next month. To prepare for his rec
Mr.. Harding will con-
fer with the chairman of the inter
state commerce commission and the
railroad labor board in the next few
days.
President Impressed
The administration has been in
touch with railway executives and
railway labor leaders and the presi-
dent is understood to be much impres.
sed by the present situation in which
the carriers are operating at loss at
the same time that shippers are com.
planning that rates are too high. The
wage reduction element in the situa
tion is understood to have been
touched on at the cabinet session but
Mr.. Harding attempted to reach NO
decision pending his conference with
the government agency. which deals
with railway conditions.
Freight rates were said to have been
particularly under consideration by
the cabinet although the suggestion
was made that present passenger

Richmond is fortunate in the
character of its retail merch-

Richmond has an unusually
large number of retail establish

THE stores of Richmond are
good to look upon and within.
They reflect progressiveness in

windows which carry the mes
sageS within.
These stores and shop win.

They are attractive and have

give an impression of real up
to-date merchandising.
And best of it, they give the
city a metropolitanism that i'm

They are but the fore-runners of
