President Hoover favors limited tariff revision. The tariff hogs who are getting along well as it is favor unlimited tariff revision and so many of them are pleading dire poverty that it is difficult to distinguish those industries which aren't being ade- quately taken care of from those which are. And they will not insist on general revision upwai it they can get something just as good. Hence the Proposal to substitute, in determining tariff duties, the basis of American Valuation for the foreign value basis now used wherever imports are taxed on an ad valorem or percentage basis. That is, instead of determining the Value of imported articles by con- bulting invoices and other data abroad ‘we would find out what the same type of goods are selling for when made by American manufacturers and fix the value for duty assessment pur- Poses accordingly. * Oe Of course the general net effect ‘would be to boost. the amount of duty on imported goods where the Ameri- tan valuation scheme was applied without raising the ad valorem rate of taxation. Apparently the adoption of the proposal would e a lot of fuss and make it unnecessary for many interests to demand specific favors for their own industries. In the general rush, the opponents of the proposal contend, there would be no separation of sheep from goats —and hogs. It is complained that, besides setting up extremely high rates in many instances, the scheme ‘would be very difficult to apply and that there would be constant uncer: tainty as to what the duties actually assessed would be. This last objec- tion has caused importers to make an especially bitter fight against the pro- posal. It would mean, they say, that importers would no longer be busi- hess men, but gamblers, & % : ' THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Of course anyone who represented the well-known “consumer” would stress the certainty of higher rates. * * But the other side of the should not be neglected.

The American Farm Bureau Fed- eration, in a brict presented to the committee, pointed out that investi- gations to determine foreign values had resulted in much international friction. It complained also that foreign exporters and American im- porters were forever cheating. The federation also referred to the idea of United States valuation, which it defined “as placing the accent on the American selling price of the im- ported article,” whereas the American valuation meant “placing the accent upon the American selling price of the similar American-made article.” It argued that prices on imported arti- cles would be decreased, with the American valuation, in cases where merchants profited excessively by use of the word “imported.” It is understood that President Hoover does not favor a change in the present valuation basis. That Friday morning after Faith's look herself in the mirror with self- party for her Crystal Hathaway woke | Tespect!| She had entered the king- with an extraordinary feeling of hap- piness and well-being. She had never felt so light and free and young in her life. She laughed softly, a clear, be!l-like little sound in the morning quietness of her pretty room. She felt so extraordinarily well that it did not occur to her that she had not been walking. Confidently, ex- ultingly, she lifted her thin body from the bed, swung her narrow white feet to the floor. So intent was the girl who had been born again to look herself in the eye and to see if she had indeed ascended into the kingdom of heaven that she did not even feel the wave of dizziness that swept over her brain and the tingles'in her long- 4nactive feet. In the door of her clothes closet was set a long mirror, almost the length and width of the door, Toward it she walked un- steadily but unconscious of weakness. Although Tony had held a mirror for Crystal to see her transformation the night before, Crystal felt as she stood before the long glass that she was seeing herself for the first time. ng close, she gazed deeply into her own eyes. Clear, grave, but lum- nous with a new light, the large translucent hazel eyes in the mirrored Feflection gazed back at her, unflinch- ingly. It was true, true! She could | dom of heaven-on-earth. \sort of face and body had she been Now—what granted upon being born again? Her eyes traveled swiftly, making happy discoveries. Clear, white unblemished skin, faintly gleaming, as if candles had been lighted within in the altar of her new soul. Shining, smooth, red-brown hair, like a bronze bell. Her cyes traveled downwar ‘The thin chiffon of her low-cut, sleéve- less nightgown was like a pale-pink mist which softened but did not con- ceal the outlines of her body. Why, it was beautiful, she discovered, with quick tears of gratitude. Slim and supple and white as the virginal little birch-tree in the Grayson woods. No wonder she felt light and free, with & body like that! Then suddenly Crystal felt. hun for the first time since her illness. It would be a de- light to feed this lovely body and make it strong—strong as the spirié which gazed a her — unabashed through the clear, translucent win- dows which were her eyes. Ten minutes later a slim but very erect girl dressed in dark-blue silk crepe, black lizard-skin pumps, and sheer gun-metal stockings, appeared in the doorway of the Hathaway din- ing room.
