IN kANAWHA STREET
Two Are Held-FoIloWS Gen.
eraI Fight.

Charleston, Sept. 16.-Reece

stantly killed in the street near the
Chesapeake and Ohio depot at Kay

The shooting is said to have follow
ed a night of disorder.

dead mans father, heard the shoot
ing, and reached the scene immed-
lately afterWard When he saw his

\ Filipino resident OF HononIru
has succeeded in solving one phase
Of the il. C. H. problem and in
beating profteering landlords out Of
potential gains at the same time.
A year ago the citizen in ques-
ton, who may be designated by the
Filipino version Of John Doe, 81
which is Juan de Ia Cruz, returned
from work one day to find that his
wife had left the family rooftree
Taking philosophical attitude,
Juan saw in this occurrence Il
chance to reduce living costs; so.
in company with his five year old
son, he moved into a cave left by
workmen under paved road in the
Iwilei district of Honolulu. Here he
was found recently, serene in the
knowledge Of a growing bank ac-
count and apparently perfectly hap
py IN his somewhat cramped quar-
tiers. The apartment measures ten
feet by six and is comfortably il
not sumptuously Furnished. Juan
says that he intends to stay il not

United States import duties.

The puzzle picture is in this last
clause, "deducting therefrom Uni.
ted States import duties.
Takinf our automobile apain. and
assuminf that the ad valorem rate
on such automobiles will remain al
As per cent, we shall have to plunge
into mathematics.
First we observe that though
$4,000 is the figure we must take as
the cost of the car in the United
States, it is not the figure on which
we reckon the As per cent duty Be-
fore we can apply our As pre- cent
we must subtract from SO 600 the
amount of the duty.
Sounds like curious proceeding,
doesn't subtracting the amount
OF our duty before we know what it
is? But it can be done
When we have subtracted the
amount of the duty from $4,000 we
will have the amount on which the
duty is calculated. Therefore,
$4,000 must be the amount of the
duty plus the sum on which the
duty is figured
This sum is 100 per cent of itself.
The duty is As per cent of it. There.
fore, $1,000 must be las per cent of
the sum we are looking for One

be the 145tr mart Of $4,000, or S2O.6s

VALUA TON PLAN rs
EXPLAINED FOR THE PERPLEXED

Because of numerous inquiries
concerning the American valuation
plan proposed in the tariff bill now
pending, the following explanation
is presented. Ii we have included
explanations OF elemental facts and
arithmetic with which, as we are
well aware our readers are thor
oughly familiar, it has been out of
excess of caution, so that no point
could possibly remain in doubt.
What is meant by the American
valuation scheme proposed as a
basis for calculating ad valorem du-
ties on imported goods?
An ad valOrem duty is customs
charge fixed at a certain percentage
of the value of the article. For ex-
ample, an American importer
brings in a French automobile val
ued at $1,000. The tariff act now in
force imposes an import duty of 40
per cent ad valorem on such auto
mobiles. Therefore, the importer
pays Uncle Sam As per cent of
$1,000, or 5000 in duties.
In fixing ad valorem duties,
question arises before law makers.
snail the duty be percentage of
the value OF the article IN the coun-
try from which 1t comes, Or shall it
be percentage of he value of the
article in the United States?
1t Is Gear that this makes DIT
ference. FOR II an automobile cost
ing $1,000 in France can protitably
be imported into this country It
must De worth mere at least $1,000
Pias the freight and the tariff. II
must also be worth here as much
mere as the cost Oh building such
mdcnlne IN rance IS less than it IS
III the United states.
Let us say taat this car, which
soSls 92,00O IN France, cannot be
nuit ana sold wholesale in the
Z uilej States Tor less than $4,000.
men ITS value here is SO 600.
Under the present tariff act ad
Haiofem duties are calculated on
tne cost OF the article in the coun-
u$ rom WhIch 1t came. Hence, on
inns french automobile the import |
er pays 40 per cent of $4,000, or
