HOOVER TO PRESS
COURT ISSUE NEXT
Root Formula to Come Up in
December After Naval
Pact Disposal.
BY the Associated Press.


Disposing of the London naval treaty
at the special session. as 1t is expected
to do, the Senate will return in Deem
Der to face another controversy over
foreign affairs.
For more than a year the Root
formula for American adherence to the
World Court intended to reconcile the
opposing views of the Senate and the
nations already members, has lain in
the vault of the State Department.
President Hoover plans to submit it
for ratification early in the Winter ses-
sion.
Geneva Protocol Held Up.
First delayed to prevent its inter-
ference with the tariff and agriculture
relief programs before Congress. the
Geneva protocol is now being held up
by the Chief Executive to prevent it
becoming linked with the naval pact.
Unyielding opposition awaits the
protocol from the group of Senators

can participation in European affairs.

relations committee, who is supporting
the naval treaty, will lead a determined
attack against it, and at his back he

This group unsucceSSfully opposed
American adherence when it was voted
four years ago by rs to Is. with five
reservations, four of which were ac-
ceptable to the nations already adj
herring.
Fifth Reservation Opposed.
The fifth was not acceptable. 1t
stipulated the court should not. with
out the consent of the United States,
entertain a request for an advisory
opinion on question in which America
might have or claim an interest.
After the rejection of American entry
on these terms, the revised protocol,
which is to be submitted to the Senate.
was worked out at Geneva by Elihu
Root, with the other nations approving
Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking
Democrat on the foreign relations COM
mittee, and Senator Walsh of Montana.

naIly sponsored the reservation, have
agreed to accept the Root plan on the
ground that it does not weaken the

y
the activities of group interests are dis
turblng to public confidence"
This tariff law, the President pointed
out, is like all other tariff legislation,
whether framed primarily upon a pro-
tective or revenue basis. He admitted
| that 1t contains many compromises be-
tween sectional interests and between
different industries but he stated, no
tariff bill has ever been enacted. or
ever will be under the present system,
that will be perfect.
The President stated that the prin-
ciple Of protective tariff for the bene-
fit of labor, industry and the farmer, is
established in this bill by the require
ment that the tariff commission, which
is given wider powers, shall adjust rates
so as to cover the differences in cost
of production at home and abroad, and
it is authorized to increase or decrease
the duties by so per cent to effect this
end.
If the flexible provisions now extend
ed should prove insufficient, the Presi-
dent said he will ask for further au-
thority for the tariff commission, be-
cause he is satisfied that public opinion
will give whole-hearted support pro-
tective system free from the vices which,
he said, have characterized every tariff

With the Presidents attitude defined
the tariff took on the aspect of a
major issue in the coming congressional
elections, with the Democrats and the
independent Republicans from the West
arrayed against the administration.
1t was learned the latter group, which
failed in its effort to keep the export
debenture plan in the bill, is preparing
for an intensive campaign in the farm
ing States and is counting upon Senator
Borah as its principal speaker Two
years ago Borah campaigned for Mr.
Hoover'S election.
The President himself will journey
across the Western tariff battle-ground
this Summer In addition, such vet
eran champions of the protective policy
as Vice President Curtis and Senator

leader, are considering speaking tours

Importers Rush
In Stocks Before
Tariff Operates
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The usual race of importers to
bring in huge shipments before a
new tariff act takes effect is on.
Customs officials announced to-
day that $11,000,000 in duties
were collected at the port of New
York on Saturday, which is half
day for the collectors. Ordinarily,
only about a million dollars is COL
lected on that day.
Frank Dow, assistant commits
sioner of customs, said shippers
were quick to take goods out of
bond to take advantage of the old
rates.
The new duties, more than
1000 of them, will take effect at
midnight of the day the bill is
signed by President Hoover.

OF CHARLES r. HOWE

leader among tax authorities. He
is a valuation expert, and that is
qualification which particularly
fits him for the work of this com
mission, 1t is something we need
very badly. He is capable, eff
cient, industrious and honest, and
believe that his nomination and
election would be of incalculable
value to the state.
Served Since 1916
It has been my privilege since
1916 to serve the people of Ari-
zona on the Arizona Corporation
Commission, and | believe that The
work which l have been able TO do
for them, particularly in railroad
rate cases, which is my especial
field, has been approved by the
people of the state.
Another large and important field
of the commission work is -ublic
utility regulation, and it is an essen
tial factor of intelligent public
utility regulation that the commits
sion have an accurate knowledge
of property valuations, as | am sure
that the people of Arizona do not
want to be unfair to the public
utility companies, neither do they
want any opportunity given the
public utilities to be unfair in their
rates to them.
Therefore the commission needs
the expert work which the Hon
orable Charles R. Howe can give
in the valuation of public utility
property, and for that reason | am
giving my unqualified endorsement
to his candidacy, and to urge upon
the people of Arizona the giving
