j. s. CUTS DUTY
ON FOREIGN.
MOTORS
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Special tariff rates on foreign
motor cars were automatically
Slashed as much as 35 per cent
today under the new tariff act
signed by President Roosevelt.
France received the greatest
reduction, the duty on French
cars being reduced by IS per
cent. The duty on British cars
was reduced % 1-3 per cent, and
from 20 to 80 per cent on cars
shipped here from Canada. Sim
ilar reductions also were made in
the duties on cars shipped into
this country from Italy and other
nations.
Old Duty Restored
The reduction was effected by
q provision in the new tariff act
repeating special equalization
taxes and restoring the general
10 per cent duty on all foreign
cars.
The special equalization taxes
formed part Of the 1880 tariff
act and were designed to enable
this Government to place the
same duty on a foreign article
that the nation which shipped
that article here imposed on simi.
lar American articles.
In the case of motor cars, the
American tariff rate is 10 per
cent, whereas the British rate
Is S3a per cent, the French As
per cent and the Canadian from
80 to 40 per cent. Under the
special equalization tax, the
American rate was increased to
equal the duty Of these other
nations.
Other Duties Cut
Other articles on which these
special equalization taxes were re-
pealed included coal, bicycles.
timber and gunpowder. Depart
ment of Commerce officials
pointed out the volume of trade
involved in these, articles is ex-
tremely small, only 5000, 900 being
collected in duties on them during
1888.
The new act gives the President
power to raise or lower tariff rates
as much as so per cent in the
course of trade negotiations with
other nations and represents the
most far-reaching tariff power
ever bestowed by Congress upon a
Chief Executive.

practically all the more important

LIBERTY MUST NOT DIE

Only Is short years since the close
of the war that was fought to make the
world safe for democracy, and we flnd
democracy carrying on losing fight
for its very existence.
Today there is new despousm
sweeping the world. 1t is not despot-
ism of individuals or of a ruling
ar;stocratic class. It is despotism OF
the state. It is the despotism of an ideal
that holds the state as all important
and the individual as nothing whenever
the interests of the two conflict And
this new form of despotism moves Tor
ward over the PROSTATE body eof per-
sonal liberty.
The student of current events has
been familiar for months with the re-
peated statement that democracy is dy-
ing throughout the greater part Of
Europe. Within only two countries
England and Francis it any Longer
championed. Communism, fascism anf
nazism has most of Europe in its grasp
and their hold is apparently spreading
There is bitter fight between com
munism and fascism but in one all-im.
portant respect they aim at the SAM
thing That is the supreme power OF IN
state in governing and directing tn
lives of the individual. Communism
seeks to place this directing power /
the hands Of the proletariat, the work
ing people; fascism would lodge tn
same power with the middle and indus
trial classes. Nazism is fundamental
the same as fascisn. In each Of thel
there exists the same ideal-the ST
preme importance of the state and II
right Of a select group to rule and
dictate to the masses how they shs
live and what they shall think and b.
lieve.
