constructive nature was accomplish

for bonds, but this work was offset
by tho failure OF tho House 10 car

Richards bill to divert 100000 from
road maintenance was one action to
the credit OF the House.
Inject Rond Qucstion Early.
Roads were injected into the legis-
!aticn Mt the very outset OF the ses-
sion. This led TO an investigation
OF the Highway Department. with
the effect OF showing no glaring
defects, which had the result, OF
strengthening the hands OF Commits
sioner George i. Coleman. Follow
ing the investigation Senator Will
liam IL. Jcfreys, Jr.. succeeded In
bringing the rival factions into an
agreement which brought about a
REORGANIZATION acceptable to the Gov

reduced :rom Sil0 TO 81 cents, with
bank stock exempted. The Byrd
Brown segregation and Pratt equal
ization bills were both Killed. The fee
commission report was practically
ignored, although series OF bills
making slight reductions in earnings
OF fee Off ~ers were put through both
branches in The final week.
The simplitication and reorganiza

question that occupied considerable
time. The Sm!thcy investigation
committee accomplished little other

need OF some form Of simplincation

American Valuation Plan
 eEasalyAdmlui;stered
Financial Expert, Making 1n- vestigation for Senate Fi- nance Committee, Says New System is Feasible.

The American Valuation plan of in the pending Fordney tariff bill. is possible of administration and the only feasible means of compiling a tariff that will afford adequate protection to the American manufacturer, &C., cording to J. B. Reynolds, former as- sistant Secretary of the Treasury and now director of valuation investiga- tions for the Senate Finance Commit tee.
 There is nothing uncanny, nothing mysterious and nothing at all of tremendously unusual or out-of-the- way nature about American Valua- tion," MT. Reynolds says, To-day, when imports are brought into this country they are assessed on the basis of the value in foreign countries. The invoice is presented and on that the importer puts his value.
 Invoices Practically Worthless
 'These invoices-to give them all the credit that they are entitled to-in the average case are worth little less, perhaps, than the paper on which 
 after a long experience In handling invoices. and by that I mean that the certification that the consul abroad has to make amounts to nothing The in- voices go through on the day before & ship sails; they go into a consular office in any part of the world where there Is a large business between that country and the United States. You have a perfect string of people filing In with invoices to get the invoice off on the next boat with the automatic affixing of a stamp. It Is matter of 2 clerk signing the consul's name. And all that 1t does Is to certify that that invoice is on the right colored paper. Is made out In the right legal form, and nothing else.
 There is a proposition now put up against that. It seems to me it is a very simple one. Instead of putting the duties, assessing the ad valorem duties which are duties assessed on the value of goods, on the foreign or invoice value. the proposition Is to put these duties on the value of the goods in the United States.
 'The value of the goods in the United States Is not an unknown quantity. It can be found. All the books. all the papers of the manufacturers, the jobbers and the sellers of every kind, are at the disposal of the Government Prices are known in this country We are dealing with an absolutely known and certain proposition and the whole idea is simply that where there Is an ad valorem rate of duty on goods. we do not try to assess this on tho foreign value. which Is largely
