TARIFF DEFENDED
T. IN TRADE DECLINE
Commissioner Eble Says U. S. Lost
Customers Only Because Of
Lack of Buying.

Denial that the Hawley-Smoot tariff
act has contributed in any significant
way to the decline of international
trade was made by Capt. F. x. A.
Eble, United States Commissioner of
Customs, in an address delivered Satur-
day before the Chamber Of Commerce
and Customs employees OF Portland,
Greg.
The United States has lost customers
only when their failing purchasing
power made 1t impossible for them to
continue their usual buying. Commits
Sioner Eble said in defense of the tariff.
Exports to South America, Africa, Asia
and Oceania, which have almost free
access to American markets, he de-
clared, have declined to much greater
extent than have exports to European
countries against which most American
tariff schedules are leveled.
During 1880 Europe bought 48 per
cent Of American exports. Commissioner
Eble quoted the United States Chamber
of Commerce as analyZing, larger
proportion than at any time for five
years.
The customs official praised the eff
forts of President Hoover, Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon and Undersec-
rotary Mills in connection with the
successful negotiations of the debt holi
day pact. 1T was this diplomacy Of
the President that brought the leading
nations of the world to an agreement
in principle, which is one of the most
audacious economic proposals in world
history" he declared.

GILBERT ENERGIES
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Ina CIaire's Action Brings
Fast Slipping Star Into
LimeIight Briefly.
BY MOLLIE NIERRICK.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 20
tN.A.N.A). = Jack Gilbert ,emerges
from the twilight obscurity into which
he Is rapidly passing with the head
lines of Ina Claire's suit for divorce.
Some one once said there is nothing
so sick as a sick star''-and the artistic
malady from which Jack Gilbert has
been suffering this year and more past
proves this perfectly. No matter what
his producers might try to DO, the
landslide must go on If past history
makes true precedent.
Lives Retired Existence.
Jack Gilbert lives a more retired eX.
iStence than any star In HOLLYWOOD.
His home in Beverly Hills is run very
conservatively. He has his friends visit
him quite informally; he has his little
beach house where his entertaining Is
also quite informal. He has his ST.
100000 trust fund which will protect
him financially to the end of his days.
And he has a picture career to finish
out-a picture career which is going as
wrong as a career may go, with no
hope of strengthening out unless
miracles happen.
For producers, nervous at the sud-
Qeu TURN OdCh uAtioAAN AFt~
took, have not done the things CAL
. culated to help this star. They have
taken silly chances with silly stories.
They have jumped from one thing to
another And Gilbert-once the rage
of the screen-haS been the sufferer OF
their panic.
At the present Jack Gilbert's inter-
ests are obviously vested in a lovely
Hawaiian princess visiting hereaboutS.
She has been a favorite with movies
visiting Honolulu for some time past
and her trip to Hollywood has been one
Of the most successful on record-the
colony has outdone itself to entertain
her.
Professional Rivalry Cause.
The chief difficulty encountered by
Ina Claire and Jack Gilbert was the
professional rivalry which bothered Ina
not at all, but which annoyed Jack ex-
ceedingly. Accustomed for years to
being the center of attraction, 1t irked
Jack Gilbert to attend parties where his
beautiful wife was the center of all at
tention because of her wit, her chic and
her originality.
The sex-hero of silent f1lrpS felt
eclipSed. So he made his famous state
ment that Ina Claire is too brilliant
too brainy to be interesting. He might
have added Ito me-" There are others
who find her exceedingly interesting.

crease; Federal A n d
State Incomes Would
Drop.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. special
lists have begun to wonder whether
taxing authorities are riding a good
horse to death in the matter Of levies
on cigarettes, particularly in sales tax
es by States, and whether the c%ontin-
uing increase in the burden portends
revolutionary changes in merchandise
ing methods.
There is obviously no danger that
the industry will be destroyed by tax
alton, but there is a potential revival
of the roll-your-own practice in the
offing, as a means of eliminating some
Of the taxes that cigarette consumers
now are required to pay, directly or
indirectly.
The factor that has brought the
question of taxation to the fore is the
promised development in mechanical
roll-your-own devices. Trade advices
received in the Government are to the
effect that a real drive to popularize
their use is getting under way. Wheth-
er it will succeed in cutting into the
ready-made cigarettes sales can not
now be foretold, but the fact remains
that tobacco for use in roll-your-own
methods bears a lot less tax.
The tax which the cigarette must
carry is s. per 1000 under a Federal
levy, plus an additional amount of
from one cent to five cents among
twenty-four States in the Union. In
seven other States similar levies arc
in prospect for the coming sessions of
the Legislatures.
The roll-your-own devices have this
fact with which to start: The Federal
levy on the type of tobacco used by
them to make 1000 cigarettes woulc
be slightly more than fifty-one cents
There would be a sales tax in only 8
couple of States.
This calculation of the tax is baseo
on the trade practice of using 2.S4
pounds of tobacco per thousand Gig
arettes. So the specialists here say that
the difference is one substantial en-
ough to cause many persons to con-
slider it in hard times. And besides
there is the novelty of the thing te
help start it off.
From the standpoint of the Fedora.
Government any switch from the con-
sumption Of cigarettes means a reduc-
ton in revenue from tobacco taxes
because the chief item of income ir
that group is the levy on cigarettes
In the last fiscal year, for example
the revenue from the Federal tax or
cigarettes reached the total of $685.
$4,000.
The Federal Government has nc
figures on State collections, but it is
known that the combined collection,
by States exacting a payment in sales
of cigarettes exceed 500, 900 900, anc
with each additional State that turn
to this tax to augment its revenue the
total grows.
