HILLSBOROUGH
COMMISSIONERS PROTEST
VALUATION INCREASE

Tampa. April 12-An appeal from
the order of State Equalizer of Taxes
NJ. L. Dawson, raising the valuation
of personal and real property in Hills
boro county 20 per cent for 1922 was
taken yesterday by the, county com
missioners, who set forth in a resolu-
ton that the state equalizer had failed
to show that equalities existed and
had failed to furnish the Hillsborough
board with data on which the order
was based. The resolution stated that
Hillsborough county was now as
sessed at a higher rate proportionate-
ly than other counties of the state.
and that assessments should have
been decreased instead of increased.
The resolution further declared that
the laws of Florida now require the
tax assessor of Hillsborough to assess
all property at its full cash value and
that an increase of 20 per cent over
this would be illegal.

THE POOR FISH

hatcheries have ruined the morale"
of the salmon of British Columbia, ac-
rording to the story told to the House
of Commons by A. w Neill. independ-
ent conservative from Alberta. 1t
seems when wee salmon come into the
world at the fish hatcheries they are
guarded against all enemies and lose
their protective instinct. So when the
salmon has come of age and is sent
out in the cold world he is as tame
as cat" to use Mr.. Neill's express
sion and when he meets an enemy he
stands with his mouth open and ac-
cepts murder as if such a thing was
forp-urdained."

LLOYD GEORGE WANTS
"ARMY HOLIDAY"

Genoa, April 12.-(By Associated
Press,-Prime Minister Lloyd George
of Great Britain contemplates sug-
gesting an agreement for limitation
of land ornaments in Europe for a
definite period, according to an un-
verified report before the adjourn
ment of the present international
economic conference. The "army
holiday it is thought, will be pat
termed after the naval holiday COM
pleted at the Washington conference.
Disarmament continues to be the
most discussed question among the
delegates here, although barred from
formal consideration following the
initial tilt between the French and
Russian delegations when M. Chiti-
cherin, soviet foreign minister, en-
deavored to bring it before the con-
ference.
The statement of Louis Barthou,
head of the French delegation, to the
Associated Press yesterday, expain-
ing why France cannot discuss arma-
ment at Genoa. probably will remain
the basis of the French attitude on
this question, despite the attempts OF
the Russian delegation or other Ma
tional groups to raise the issue.

CONGRESS NOW
PREPARING FOR
TARIFF DEBATE

Washington, April 12.-The decla-
ration by Chairman Forney OF the
House ways and means committee
that the House never would yield on
American valuation, has revived dis
cussion of the tariff question at the
capitol with oponents and rOpo-
nents estimating their possible
strength when the bill gets to con
ference between the Senate and the
House.
Chairman Fordney is of the opinion
that the conferees will accept Amer
lean valuation but Senator SmoOt, of
Utah. ranking Republican on the Sen
ate finance committee, does not sub
scribe to this view. AS the situation
now stands it would appear that the
ConfereeS would at least vote seven
to three against the proposition.
Senator Smoot who made the fight
for foreign valuation before the Sen
ate committee says he will not vote
for American valuation in the Senate
or anywhere else Senator LaFollette
of Wisconsin. the second ranking Re
publican on the committee. voted
against this valuation in the commit.

slpELIeHTs ON GREAT MEN

Genoa, April 12.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Politics is making strange
bed-fellows in Genoa-or rather eco
Monies is doing so, if one chooses to
accept the statement reiterated fifty
times dailv by it's trainers that the
Genoe conference is not political.
It certainly in unusual to find the
soviet chief, Chitcherin. sitting Wis a
Wis with Constantine Diamandy. Four
years ago the Bolshevists had Dia-
mandy in Jail in Petrograd. At that
time he was the Rumanian minister
accredited to the Kerensky govern
ment and the diplomats of the whole
world were storming against the So
viets' violation of his diplomatic i'm
munity.
The sight of Adolph Joffee and the
German chancellor. DR.. Wirth in con-
versation recalls Joffee's very sudden
expulsion from Berlin four years ago.
He was then Bolshevist ambassador
in Berlin, according to the terms of
man government uncermoniously
loaded him and his entire staff on a
special train and shipped them back
to Russia, alleging they were propa-
gandists and not diplomats.
It also seems odd for M. Rakovsky
and Premier Bratiano of Rumania to
be sitting there at a conference called
in the interests of peace. Rakovsky
was an active Rumanian socialist at
the beginning of the world war, and
the Bucharest government interned
him. Now he is president of the Uk
ranian republic federated with Mos
COW.
Then there is the cordiality with
which the British minister, Mr.. Lloyd
George greets Maxim Litivinoff. Their
attitudes here do not in the least sug
gest the stormy time Litivinoff had in
Egypt before he became Chitcherin's
chief assistant in. Moscow.
But in four years the Bolshevikl
have made more treaties than the 9TH
or European states have completed in
the past century. so the professional
diplomats have to admit the Russians
are no novices. and must be dealt with
accordingly here.

COOPERATION PROMISED
BY SECRETARY HOOVER WITH
COUNTRY'S TRADE BODIES

Washington. April 2.-Government
cooperation in the activities of a
great majority Of the trade associa
tions of the country was promised to-
day by Secretary Hoover in an ad
dress before representatives of vari
Gus industrial organizations meeting
to discuss means for furnishing trade
information to the department fol
publication.
Canvass of more than 1000 trade
associations. Mr.. Hoover declared, had
disclosed that only a small minority
were formed on basis contrary to
law. The status of the open price
associations is yet undetermined. he
said, although officers OF the govern
ment do not think such organizations
are in the public interests.
Contract between the commerce de
partment and the business of the
country was only possible through
the great trade associations. Mr.
Hoover said. The trade of the United
States has decreased less in proper.
tion to pre-war totals th0n that OF
any other great commercial nation
due mainly to the efforts of American
business men.
Mr.. Hoover called attention to the
fact that while both the farmers and
the unions have obtained immunity
from the laws governing restraint OF
trade, no effort along this line has
been made by commercial and indus
trial interests. He added that in
quiry into this question as already
suggested in congress would be valu
able.
Study of the trend of production
and consumption does not mean re.
straint of trade" said the commerce
secretary.

DELEGATION OF
SOVIETS GIVEN
A RUDE SHOCK
Attitude Of Russian
Government Toward
the Allies Believed To
Be OF Such Nature AS
To Threaten the Soviet
Regime

Genoa, April 12.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. 1.-The Russian Soviet dele
cation to the economic conference is
staggered and amazed at the sweep
ing political changes in the Soviet
governments suggested interest in
the report of the allied experts on
Russia, now before the subcommittee
entrusted with formulating plans for
Russian reconstruction.
Leon Trotzky, Chretcherin and 9TH
ers of the Bolshevik leaders, have re-
peatedly said that the reconstruction
of Russia's debts would be a subject
for negotiation looking toward the re-
construction of the Soviet republic.
The demands embodied in the report
for general reconstruction of the
rights of personal property and better
protection for foreigners, contemplate
changes in the Soviet government
that would, in the opinion of the Rus
sian delegation as expressed today,
wipe out communism utterly and i'm.
pair the sovereignty of the Russian
government.
