PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ‘SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 BUSINESS MEN“ HEAR SPEAKER ON TARIFF BILL Former Congressman Humphrey Exp!ains American Valua- tion Plan Former Congressman W, E, Humph- poke to a delegation of business | men in the parlor of the Grand Pacific hotel late last night on the Ameri Valuation plan of the Ferdney tariff} bill. Mr. Humphrey came here from Minot, He had been invited by Secre- tary Keniston of the Commercial club to speak in the club rooms, but de- lay in the train’s arrival prevented the meeting th Mr. Humphrey came under the auspices of the Lions club. “The great reason why the Ameri- an Valuation Plan should be adopted! use that under the present plan ernment is defrauded of hun- illions of dollars annually luation and fraud, and this um the other taxpayers of Amer- have to pay into the United States y. It is perfectly safe to say that 99 per cent of all the goods brought into this country is under- valued for duty purposes. The im-| porter denies this and demands proof,” said Mr, Humphrey. “It is well known that because of undervaluation and deception and fraud, that the system of personal tax- ation has been practictally abandoned in many of the states. If this be true in regard to personal taxes in this country, where the citizen is under all the incentives of patrictism and of good citizenship on the one hand and faces disgrace, jail and fine on the other, then I repeat, that if under such circumstances the American citi- zen will undervalue his goods for tax- ation purposes, what can ‘you expect of the foreigner when he sends his goods into this country, when he is asked to place a value upon them for taxation putposes? Remember the for- eigner violates no law; that he is un- der no incentive of good citizenship to tell the truth and that he is even en- couraged to practice deception and fraud. Do you believe that the Italian, the Spaniard, the Jap or German, and the other people of the world are more honest and trustworthy than our own citizens? Under such circumstances, 1 ask again, is it necessary to produce proof to convince any intelligent per- son under the present plan undervalu-; ation is practically universal? “I repeat, that 99 per cent of all the goods brought into this country are undervalued; that every day this na- tion is defrauded’ of more than a mil- lion of dollars that goes into the pock- ets of the importer and the foreigner and that this amount is added to the already heavy burden f the American taxpayer. “T repeat, without any mental reser- vation. whatever, if it were not for the opportunity to cheat the government under the present plan; there is not a person in America when they know the facts that would oppose the adop- tion of the American Valuation Plan.” MAKE ATTEMPT TO KILL BROWN Cairo, Egypt, Feb. 18:—(By the As- sociated Press)—In an attempt made }* today on the life of R.

(HOWATT LOSES IN CLOSE VOTE Indianapolis, "Ind. 1 Feb. 18—By a margin of less than 100 votes, dele~ gates to the United Mine Workers’ convention refused to consider the ap- peal of Alexander Howatt for the union reinstatement of himself and other expelled Kansas miners.

T0 ESTABLISH CREAM STATIONS Meeting Held in Fargo Outlines Plans for Work Farge, Feb, 18—Plans were made to establish two or three cream ship- ping stations in North Dakota at a meeting yesterday at the state agri- cultural college here between repre- sentatives of the dairy depar:ment, | the college, dairy men of the state and the creameries, The purpose: of such stations which would have an ex- perienced cream handler in charge in each class is to find the best market, improve the quality of the cream pro- ducel and eventually secure a pre- mium for this better quality. It developed that while there is a difference between the price of No. 1 and 2 cream all North Dakota creain is sold for the same price, this be- caus? there is not a No. 1 cream pro- duced in the state so that the cream- eries can produce 'No. 1 butter in car- load lots, it was said. VILLA AIDS | GOVERNMENT ‘ agement, Mexico City, Feb.'18—(By the As- sociated Press)—Francisco Villa, for- mer bandit chief, has asked permis- sion to lead his men against Gen- eral Hermandez, who was reported several days ago as in rebellion in the state of Chihuahua. Back in 1914 Hermandez, was Villa’s trusted aid but he went over to Carranza when Villa and the latter split. NASH PRICES. ARE REVISED President Shoots Straight in Making Plain His Purpose me AN (From “Auto Topics” Charles W. Nash is a straight shoot- er, He shot at the Chicago show, a bullet that’carries a message of far reaching import. It included a plain statement of policy concerning prices and incidentally contained a new line- up of prices on the four-cylinder Nash which again emphasizes the outstand- ing character of this car in establish- ing its own price class. The Nash six ‘series, of course, was placed at sharply revised list prices just be- fore the New York show. , “I feel,” said Nash, “the time has come when every manufacturer and purveyor should cut prices to’ the quick and take smaller profits than ever expected before in order to bring around the reconstruction of our country as quickly as possible. That is why I am making these reductions. With the reductions by us and other recent reductions by other large au- tomobile manufacturers the public should feel that automobile prices are now at rack bottom. -I believe that autcmobile prices will advance before further reductions are made.” The newest prices on the Nash four bring the five-passenger open. model to 985; the roadster is placed at $965. These prices represent flat reductions of $60 from the levels which were es- tablished last October. The coupe of this series is priced now at $1,485; the sedan lists at $1,645, and.the two- passenger cab at $1,395. The new car- ricle of the line, is priced at $1,350. The immediate reaction ‘to-this an- nouncement will be that Nash has decided to bring into: action his tre- mendous reserves of competent man- able manufacturing and ade- quate financial resources. In other words, Nash has realized, as haye some of the other strong factors in the industry, that the surest’ guar- anty of the stability of prices is an honestly priced product. As condi- tions change prices change with them, and in this respect the trade has wise- ly anticipated the public demand for price revision. The significance of the move lies in the plain inference that certain big makers no longer propose to carry an umbrella over the heads of the less fortunate and small- The Ne Oakland 6-44 Touring Car 5 Special Oakland Guarantee A15,000 mile written aa PHONE 490 You'll like our centrally located, fireproof storage.
