NEW IDEA IN HOUSE BUILDING
Claim Made That by This Method un-
skilled Labor Can Be Put to
Practical Use.

Axel Wedberg, Floral Park, L. l., has
made an invention that Is said to he of
great Importance IN house build
ing. says Foreign Language Intorma-
ton Service.
Mr.. Wedberg's idea is to build
houses with cast concrete walls made
In molds. which can easily be Joined
by means Of hooks and props. The
concrete blocks are then put together
In the corners by dovetailing. The roof
and the sidewalks are Joined In the
same way.
One outstanding advantage In this
method is that houses can be built by
almost unskilled laborers, as most Of
the cast concrete blocks are made to
fit exactly where they belong before
being erected.
Another feature Is the easy way a
damaged building can be repaired, the
defective block only being replaced by
Z new one. Wall paper and paint are
easily applied. The blocks are not
solid, but are provided with four
inch air and insulating hole.
The inventor came over to this coun-
try In 1908, and has since been study
ing and working For the last twelve
years he has been connected with sew
eral house-building concerns.

Obnoxious Advertising signs.

the citizens are obliged to wage con-

WILLIAM BURGESS
Member U. S. Tariff Commission

Mr.. Burgess disputes estimates of
increased selling prices of commodi-
ties which the Women's Consumers
Committee recently declared would
result from application Of the pro-
visions of the Fordney tariff bill.
The increases were estimated at
from 609o for wooden dress goods to
1905 for women's cotton gloves. He
says: Taking their own figures as
q basis and applying the rates of the
Fordney bill, we find that the only
additional cost to the retailer would
be the additional amount of duty re-.
quired under the Fordney bill, be-
catse all other costs and overhead
charges remain the same
The question, Mr.. Burgess con-
cludes, is simply whether customs
duties shall continue to be assessed
upon the foreign market value Of
goods or upon the value in the
United States, ard asks whether it
is easier to obtain information upon
their value from over ITO different
foreign countries of expectation,
with no legal power to secure such
values, than it is to get this infornla-
ton in America with the full power
of the Government to compel such
information.

New Tariff Plan Would
Help Our Debtors To Pay
Government Expert Shows How
American Valuation Would Re-
move Unfair Customs Discrimin.
alton.

Under the American valuation
plan, as proposed in the Ford
ney Tariff bill. an equalizing
effect upon the commerce OF the
United States with all nations with
which we trade would be one of the
first and most desirable results, ac-
cording to William Burgess, member
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 III duty,
Germany 80 cents and England 81
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. Our debtor nations are 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 Japanf {"
Mr.. Burgess asks. !.
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on inn
ported merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods.
are the real opponents Of the Amerf-
can valuation plan. the tariff expert
declares.
He answers the argument that
American manufacturers could raise
their prices so as to compel importers
to 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. it would re-
ouire 5000 OF the American selling
price to equalize the difference be-
tween the foreign and domestic val
ues. Now, if the American manu-
facturer raises his price to Sis,
500 duty on this value would be
.37Jz cents, the foreign value remain
ing at 70 cents, the landed cost would
he 70 cents plus 371z cents. which
gives the foreign article the advan-
tage of 1917 cents in this market
The American valuation plan places
an automatic check on American
manufacturers doing this very thing
