The Texan holds all members should | be given opportunity to propose changes. Some members of the minority, as} Representative Garner of Texas, were | studying the 85,000 word document pre- Paratory to gencral and specific on- Slaughts. Some members of the majority Party also voiced dissatisfaction with various proposals in the measure, in- cluding the duties on building ma- terial, cedar lumber, shingles, brick and cement and birch and maple lumber. all of which now are on the frec list. Assails Sugar Duties Representative Frear of Wisconsin, | a Republican Independent, assailed the increased duties on sugar as in- defensible. Praise of the measure was voiced by Representative Tilson of Connec- the majority floor Chairman Snell of the rules commit- tee, which will report a rule to govern consideration of the measure in the house, and Chairman Hawley and other Republicans who took part in framing the measure. As study and discussion went for- ward at the capitol, there was con- jecture as to how President Hoover would view the bill in the light of his expressed desire for a “limited” revision of customs dutics with the lesser rates left for the tariff com- mission to consider. Tobacco, Alone, Untouched Only one schedule, that dealing | with tobacco, was untouched, while an entirely new schedule was created embracing manufacturers of artificial | | silk, officially termed “rayon” in the bill. One surprising development was the action of the committce in reporting out an entirely new bill as a substi- tute for the existing Fordney-Mc- Cumbecr act. Unless the senate fi- nance committee completely rewrites the house measure, as it usually does, every commodity embraced in both | the dutiable and free lists would be | open to debate <nd amendment on the senate floor. | To avoid such a contingency, Pres- ident Hoover suggested, informally at jleast, that no general tariff revision law be placed before congress. but that a bill in tle nature of an amend- ment to the existing act be reported. New Statute Necessary Chairman Hawley and his Repub- lican colleagues of the ways and means committee contend that a! whole new statute is necessary to/ simplify administration at the cus- toms house. They do not subscribe | to the theory that the Democrats of the senate will be able to keep the special session going far into the sum- mer with debate on the bill. To speed up the work of the tariff commission in determining justifica- tion for rate changes, the bill pro- poses that it may adopt the Amer- ican selling price of comparable com- modities as a basis, rather than the differences in costs of production at home and abroad which experience has demonstrated practically are un- obtainable. Moreover, the president would be authorized to investigate systems for valuation in the United States on which to base duties on imports.

May 8.—(?)}—Miriam Noel Wright, divorced wife of the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, is to marry former Mayor David 8.

Mrs. Wright is believed to be in Los Angeles. Mrs. Wright was divorced about two years ago. Her divorce was coin- cident with a breakdown of Wright's personal fortune, which he recently has been reestablishing with the help of friends. Mayor Rose, colorful figure of Mil- waukee politics, occupied the post for several term: The letter said the wedding would take place “shortly,” the informant said. BETTER FARM TARIFR Minnesota Governor Tells Hoo- ver Bill Does Not Meet Pledge of Party St. Paul. May 8—(™—The tariff bill just introduced in congress does not meet the pledge of the Repub- lican party to place agricultural in- terests on a basis of economic equal- ity with other industries, Governor Christianson said in a telegram sent today to President Hoover. The gov- ernor urged the president to use his powers to secure from congress legis- lation that will “redeem party pledges.” The telegram read: “The people of Minnesota feel the tariff bill just introduced does not meet the pledge of the Republican party to place agricultural interests on a basis of economic equality with other industries. Agriculture now en- joys an average protection of 20 per cent and other industries 40 per cent. The pending bill falls far short of removing the disparity. The people of the northwest are confident that you will use the powers of your office to secure from congress legislation that will redeem party pledges.” Protest against the bill also was telegraphed by the governor to Hu- bert Work, chairman of the Repub- lican national committec. The telegram said: “Republicans of the northwest fee) that the agricultural tariff bill just introduced falls short of mecting the | Pledges which were made last fall on behalf of the party. Duties on agricultural products now average 20 per cent, those on other products 40 per cent. This disparity is one of the fundamental causes of farm depres- sion. The people of the northwest are emphatic in their demands that the disparity be removed and that party pledges be kept literally. Noth- ing less will satisfy.” BUSINESS INSTATE CALLED ‘VERY O00 All of North Dakota, with the ex- ception of the extreme northeast and southwest corners, is included in the “very good business” vein on the May map of business conditions in the United States prepared by the La Salle Extension University, Chicago.

He spoke on “Ships.” Illustrating his talk, he sketched the ‘These types The captain made the American merchant marine a feature of his talk. He spoke of tre great campaign of shipbuilding brought on by the World war, one of the developments How- ever, that sort of body failed to prove lasting. A bump into a dock meant. going to the bottom as a mass of cracked rock. So the concrete ship idea died. The other ships built at the time were largely sold to Henry Ford—and some can now be seen cn the streets of Bismarck, he added facetiously. The captain called attention to the dimensions of ships. The Leviathan is about 1,000 feet long, carries a crew of 2,000 and during the war trans- Ported 15,000 soldicrs at a time. The ship cost $50,000,000 to $60,060,000 to build. The Chaplin company bought it for $16,000,000 with other ships when the government sold out be- cause of the big annual loss it sus- tained in trying to operate a mer- cantile marine. Freighters run to lengths of 450 feet, he said. Captain Bloomquist gave Robert Dollar, the 88-year-old head of the Dollar line, great credit for develop- ing American shipping on the Pa- cific ocean. He also explained how depths of the ocean now are meas- ured by a sound device under the vessel, whereby sound waves sent down into the sea are echoed back by the ocean bottom and the time required to get the echo is the basis of the depth calculations. Speaking of lines to use in cross- ing the ocean, the captain advised the club to look over the American ships before trying others, that is foreign lines. He said their accom- modations are perfect, even to get- ting “medicine.” Guests of the day, in addition to the singer and speaker, included Harry Sapey, Minot; J. R. Hamilton, Minneapolis, and R. A.

An investigating committee of the league found that postoffices were filled on a “partisan basis, although the civil service commission conducted competitive examinations to establish eligible lists from which appointments could be made. Not the person at the head of the list, but the person most favored politically, and in some cases the candidate paying or promising to pay the most money for the place, re- ceived the position.” The league asked that President Hoover insist upon appointment of postmasters from the head of the list. The report also urged that 5,000 po- sitions now exempted from the law be placed under the jurisdiction of the civil service by the president. Coolidge, issued on the eve of the Hoover inauguration, granting prefer- ment in appointment to all federal Positions to disabled vetcrans, also was criticized. “The league believes the new order is most ill-advised and will result in serious impairment of the efficiency of the government service,” the re- port said.
