"There is nothing 1ncanny, nothing
mysterious and nothing oat all of a
tremendously unusual: out-of-the-
way nature about, American Valua-
tom" Mr.. Reynolds says, To-day,
when imports are brought into this
country they are assessed on the basis
of the valuessin, foreign countries. The
invoice is presented and on that the
importer puts his value.
Invoices Practically Worthless
'"rhese invoices-to give them all the
credit that they are entitled to-1n the
average case are worth a little less,
perhaps, than the paper on which
they are printed. Now, I say that

invoices, and by that mean that the

to make amounts to nothing. Tine in-

all that it does is to certify that that
invoice is on the right colored paper,
is made out In the right legal form,
and nothing else.aa7 21ef,
There is a proposition now put up
against that. It seems to me. it lis a
very simple one. Instead of putting
the duties, assessing the ad valorem

 Another suggestion was the devel- opment of thorough code of law and business procedure, with the proper financial machinery to in- sure turnover and capital to be as generously supplied 70 the farmer and on as reasonable terms as are granted 10 other industries.

 Heinrich explained. under cross examination that while he was ex- amining the rooms. he had taken the precaution to lock the doors. for the reason that he had been shadowed
 The defense attempted to prove on Saturday, through Mrs. Kate Hardebeck, a witness for the pro secution. that Miss Rappe had been under the care of a physician prior 10 the St. Francis party, but that part Of the evidence was ruled out. The witness formerly was house keeper. for Miss Rappe. .::...-
