WATER DISTRICTS FIGHT TAX
Shall There
Be Beer At
His Bier?

FREEHOLD. Nv. r., Feb. 10
tP)-The question before the
court is whether the $500 shall
be spent on beer for the mourn
ers or on a monument to the
deceased.
When Daniel Siefgan, one
time Keansburg bartender, died
in 1929, he willed that there
should be beer at his bier. so
to speak; that there should be
drinking while his ashes were
being scattered in the Raritan
river. But the heirs, a son and
three grandchildren. thought
a monument would last longer
and .Aed suit to that effect.
After a year OF litigation. the
case is due to be settled Thurs
day in Orphans court.

the National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton of America discussed naerchandis-
ing and distribution.
Lord Luke stressed the Importance Of
distribution economy. He said this was
more evident today, when wage earners
on short ttme-or in some countries the
dole receiyers-are having to consider
every cent before they spend it,
To be perfect, he added, distribution
systems should provide delivery to the
consumer at the lowest possible addition
to the cost Of manufacture.
Lantlni ON Distribution.
Ferruccio Lantini, president of the
National Confederation Of Commerce of
Italy, also discussed distribution.
Economic science, which has already
studied and continues to study the
mechanism of industrial and agricul-
tural production" he said, should now
thoroughly examine that of commercial
enterprises with view to determining
distribution costs on the same lines as
has been done for production costs"

Farm Tariffs Similar Abroad.
As for farm tariffs, Russell said
America had acted no differently from
other countries. Germany having raised
her duty on wheat more than $50 per
cent in the last Is months, so that to-
day it Is $l.62 bushel, or nearly twice

called that the French duty had been
increased by 400 per cent in less than
four years.
Under the guise of relief to agricul-
ture, higher and higher tariff walls have
been. built" he said. These tariff
barriers have caused numerous re-
prisals on the part of other countries,
making international exchange increaS-
