Mr.. Burgess disputes estimates OF

quired under the Fordney bin, be-

TINDER the American valuation
~ plan, as proposed in the Ford
ney Tariff bill, an cqualizing
effect upon the commerce OF the
United States with all nations with
which we trade would be one OF tie
first and most desirable results, ac-
cording to William Burgess, meinb r
Of the United States Tariff Com
mission.
A similar article sold in Japan at
50 cents. in Germany at 90 cents in
England for 81, under the present
foreign valuation plan means, at a
tariff rate Of SO per cent, that Japan
would have TO pay rs cents In duty.
Germany so cents and England so
cents. Under the proposed American
valuation, Mr.. Burgess points out
that the Importation OF this article
would cause each OF the exporting
countries to pay exactly the same
amount of duty, regardless OF cost
of production.
Thus, he shows, the present dis
elimination in favor OF low-cost
countries would be removed. This
also would result in helping our
debtor nations to pay their debts to
US. iOur debtor nations ere Great
Britain, France and Italy.
How are we going to help these
nations to pay their debts by charg-
ing them a greater amount OF duty
than we charge Germany and Japan"
Mr.. Burgess asks. !,
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on iui-
ported merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods.
ave the real opponents Of the Ameri-
can valuation plan. the tariff expert
declares.
He answers the argument that
American manufacturers could raise
illeir prices so as to compel importers
20 pay higher amount OF duty by
citing the following example;
Assuming a foreign article to be
worth 20 cents and the American
article is selling at 81, Il would re-
CURE 3Oe6 of the American selling
price to equalire the difference be-
tween the foreign and domestic val
ues. Now, II the American manu-
facturer raises his price 20 $l.2S,
3ON duty on this value would be
37X cents, the foreign value remain-
ing at 20 cents, the landed cost would
be 20 cents plus JH cents, which
gives the foreign article the advan-
tage OF 1877 cents in this market.
The American valuation plan places
an automatic check on American
manufacturers doing this very thing.

Freak Shift Of Water From
Flood Deposits Large
Tract.

MEMPHIS, Tenn June S.-The city
Of Memphis would like to know what use
it can make of 500 acres Of land which,
the Mississippi River, through one Of the
freak shifts in its channel. has just de-
posted at the city's back door," The
gift land, swimmed from the upper
reaches Of the Mississippi, has been de-
posted in the form Of an island whose
nearest shore is not more than 100 yards
from the city's western limits, the banks
of the river. Thus far 1t has proved to
be little more than a white elephant"
Formation of the island, now known
as Mud Island was begun several years
ago upstream from the city's old boat
landing, which is just a few hundred
yards from the very business haSrt Of the
town. The slight shift in tie rivers
camel which caused it to drop its silt
apparently is a permanent change, for
the island has been growing steadily un-s
til row 1t is big enough for half a dozen
good sized farms. Efforts Were made at
the beginning to blast away its edges so:
that the river would eat it out, but the
attempt was fruitless.
1t was expected that the record high
waters of this spring, continuous
through March, April and May, would
move some of the obstruction, but since
the river has receded the engineers have
found that a big area, almost 400 yards
In width and twice as long, has been
added to the southernmost end.
1t now is several blocks below the
Memphis wharyes, so that channel
scarcely more than 100 yards wide is
left for boats to enter and dock. This
channel is kept open only through con-
slant use Of dredges, two Of which have
been recently put to work, with both
day and night shifts.
Many suggestions have been made as
to possible use of the new land by the
city The subject frequently has been
discussed by the City Club and othe1
organizations. Engineers said some time
ago that the island was not static enough
to warrant its use for permanent build
ings. However since it has withstood the
high waters of this spring, indications
are that it is a permanent addition to
the city.
Proposals have been made to convert
1t into huge city park, with sand and
bathing beaches; to utilize it for river
warehouses and storehouses, and re-
Gently there has been some talk Of turn-s
ing it into a site for manufacturing
plants. 1t remains, however. d white
elephant" overgrown with a dense grote
of willows. The city has taken stepSto
secure title to 1t. but now that 1t has the
title, it doesn't knoT what to do with
the gift.
