OF TARIFF PROBLEM

Flexible Law Provisions to Alter
Retaliatory Duty.

ion sent to President Coolidge today
held that it is without jurisdiction
under flexible provisions of the tariff
act to alter the retaliatory duty pro-
vided under section 401. which covers

hemlock. 1t was the first opinion to
be rendered to the President under

Donovan Lumber Company for a re-
duction of the duty of 81 per thou
sand board feet on imports from
countries imposing duty against
American exports of the same COM
modify. BY a vote of four to two the

LITTLE LEGISLATION
DUE FROM SESSION.
Progressive Demands Likely
to Block Constructive
Work.

Republican progressives OF the west
who will hold the balance OF power
IN the new Congress, are mapping out
a program both as to legislation ana
4he organization of the House and
Senate and are preparing to ENFORCE
their demands by every available
means.
Because of the rather unusual sit
uation this will develop and the fact
that the 1924 national political cam
paign is in the offing, leaders OF the
TWO dominant parties in Congress
look for the enactment of little af-
lfrnative legislation at the session
beginning December 3. Adjournment
probably will be taken late in May
FOR the national political conventions
and much of the time TO that GATE
will be taken up with the framing
and passing of the annual approprla-
tion bills.
Bonus Passage Seen.
Enactment of soldiers bonus bill
is freely predicted. but beyond that
leaders are not inclined to commit
themselves. Efforts will be made to
put through some kind of railroad
conflicting views on this subject that
the task of harmonizing them into
concrete measure is regarded as eX-
tremeIy difficult. Much the same sit
uation is expected to develop in re-
spect to coal legislation.
Tax and tariff revision are looked
upon as only remote possibilities.
Practical politicians in Congress do
not hesitate to say that these are
re
a. national political year, and con-
Sequently they do not look With favor
upon any plan to open up these laws
10 amendment. But there is another
and equally as cogent reasen II they
should be opened to amendment the
progressives might force complete re-
writing at least of the tax law.
Tax Law Changes.
A modified excess profits tax. levy
on the undivided profits OF corpora
tions and other major changes in the
existing law are being considered by
ihe progreSSives, and they probably
will be proposed in bills to be intro
duced soon after Congress meets.
Leaders of the republican organiza-
fion look upon these with disfavor,
certainly at this time, contendtng
that they would serve to disturb the
economic equilibrium, and possibly
affect seriously federal government
finances.
Sponsors OF the tarlH law take the
position that this statute is working
out even more satisfactorily than had
been anticipated, particularly from
a standpoint of the public treasury.
and that there is no inSistent demand
for it's amendment. They say that
any equalities that may be found to
exist can be corrected by the Presi-
dent working through the tariff com
mission.
Generally speaking. the passage of
bonus bill is viewed at the capital as
81 certainty. President Coolidge'S po-
tsition with respect to this Legislation
has not been defined, but proponents
believe they will have enough votes
10 override a veto should the EXccu-
President Harding that the measure
should carry the means of financing
or be postponed.

MANY THEORIES EVOLVED.
One After Another Shattered in
Probing Schick Case.
Speeial Dispatch TO The star.

SAN DIEGO. Calf. October 22.-Is
George L. Schick in South America.
or in an obscure grave in the shadow
OF the Mission San Diego de Alcala.
This is the question local authorities
are trying to puzzle out in their in
veStigation of the mysterious disap-
pearance of the wealthy real estate
broker, who has been missing from
his home since February.
A mass of clues ranging from the
"supernaturar' to the merely grew
some have been piled up in the in
vestigation of this most curious case,
and every new bit of Information
seems only to complicate the tangle
further.
Mrs. Margaret Schicll, wife of the
missing man, is in the county jail.
So are f. Drew Clark and Mrs. Clark.
All three face charges of forgery in
connection with a power OF attorney
bearing Schick's name, which made
its appearance after Schick had drop
ped from sight.
Relatives Push Case.
Eastern relatives Of the missing
man. prosecuting an investigation
IL -ough private detectives. first
brought the case to the authorities
The detectives reported that they had
found:
/. Mrs. Schick living with Clark at
a country residence near this city,
apparently Win the luiI BnOWledBe
and consent of Mrs. Clark, a well
known local musician.
?. That a power of attorney giving
Mrs. Schick full control OF her hus-
bands estate was a forgery.
3. Utter lack of confirmation of
Mrs. Schick's statement that her hus-
band had gone away" the only word
about him that his relatives have had
for nearly q year.
Word came in that a body had
been found in a shallow grave in
the Tia Juana river bottom near the
international boundary. Deputy
sheriffs who visited the border found
that the body" If there had been
one. has disappeared.
The old mission clue may prove to
be of the same fabric. And then
again it may not.
Mrs. Schick, overwrought, has
claimed steadfastly that Clark, with
whom she lived, possessed super
natural power over her. But she in
sists that her husband is not dead,
and that he has just gone away" to
South America. He will return soon,
she declares.
