AMERICAN VALUATION.
It is not to be expected that foreign
producers will favor any plan for the
protection of American protective indus
try against the unfair competition of for
eign products. By “unfair” we do not
necessarily mean that there is anything
dishonest about it, but that it is unfair to
American industry to be forced to com
pete on equal terms with the products of
lower production cost countries. If there
is no protection against the products of
| countries whose wages are a half, a quar
ter, or a tenth of ours, it is evident that
. our domestic labor and domestic produc
! tiou will suffer.
It is also true that there is an unfair
j foreign competition arising from this dis
honesty of certain foreign shippers and
importers of foreign merchandise. Our
j laws say that the duty shall be assessed
upon the market value of the imported
article in the county of origin, but it has
been found that such values have been
impossible to tbtain with any degree of
j accuracy and that advantage has been
j taken of this fact to undervalue imports,
i This has grown into an abuse of enor
' mous proportions, the United States
Treasury having lost billions of dollars
through such frauds.
U. S. Valuation.
The American valuation system will
prevent these frauds, and that is one
reason why there has been so much op
position to its enactment. No crooked
importer is in favor of it, that is certain.
No foreign manufacturer is in favor of it,
and that also is certain. Now it happens
that certain of our merchants who are
interested in the great department stores
are also interested in foreign manufac
turing plants and hence they may be con
sidered in the light of foreign manufac
turers.
It must also be understood that the
great department stores reap greater
profits from their imported goods than
from those of domestic production. They
charge practically as much for goods im
ported from countries of lower produc
tion costs as from those in which such
costs more nearly approximate those of
our own country, so they oppose the
American valuation system because, with
that system similar goods from all coun
tries would pay the same amount of duty,
whereas now they pay much less, the im
porters pocketing the difference.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 26. Senator
Oscar Underwood of Alabama, floor lead

luncheon address here.
“I entered the Senate when you com

I never knew just why, we began with a
‘paired’ agreement to protect each others
votes. That arrangement held until I re

choose four outstanding Americans to
represent our republic in our conference
with statesmen of the leading nations of
the world. It was not a personal regard
alone, but that feeling combined with a
high estimate of his statesmanship and
his lofty devotion to country impelled me
to name him as one of the four to speak
for America in a conference pregnate
with impossibilities.

American vs. Jap in. Hawaiian Islands
/'■'FpT'n
poWiNC
l TOO -J
WASHINGTON.—The forthcoming
International conference on the
reduction of armament and on
Pacific and Far Eastern questions will
endeavor to remove some of the causes
of friction between the Ignited States
. and Japan, but will it arrest the si
lent, peaceful progress of the Japanese
in achieving domination of that great
American outpost—the Hawaiian is
lands?
With the Japanese in the islands
already numbering 43 per cent of the
population, and increasing more rapid
ly than any other race, and with near
ly half of the Japanese born in the
islands and therefore American citi
zens, the time is not far distant, it is
widely predicted, when the Japanese
Will control the local electorate and
make the laws of the archipelago.
A cursory examination already has
been given the situation by the house
committee on Immigration and natural
ization In the course of hearings on a
measure proposed by the Hawaiian
territorial government to relieve the
labor shortage by temporarily Sfting
the ban on the admission of Chinese
coolies.
Nunferous witnesses from the Is
lands assured the committee it is only
a question of time when the Japan
ese will control the American out
post, and several of them, admitting
the admission of the territory to state
hood Is Impossible under the circum
stances, said it probably will be nec
essary to substitute for a territorial
government a commission form of gov
ernment, possibly of a miltary charac
ter.
The American born Japanese are
vastly more Japanese than American,
according to the testimony. Practical
ly all of them, now numbering 49,000
out of the 109,000 Japanese In the Is
lands, are American citizens in name
only.
Would Curtail Size of Army and Navy
WHILE the international confer
ence on limitation of armament
Is meeting in Washington, con
gress will stage a fight of its own to
further reduce America’s armament re
gardless of the decisions of the con
ference.
Plans are already laid to wage a
spirited campaign in both the senate
and house to curtail the sixe of the
army and navy, cutting far below even
the minimum fixed for the present
fiscal year.
Pear is felt that the prospective de
bate and the probability of action by
congress while the conference is in
progress might seriously embarrass the
American delegates and handicap them
in their negotiations with the repre
sentatives of the other principal pow
ers.
On the other hand, disarmament ad
vocates contend that further curtail
ment of American armament would not
interfere with the proceedings in the
international conference, but would
furnish an example of disinterested
ness and assist in accomplishing the
primary object of the conference—
namely: the limitation of armament.
Under the provisions of the budget
TMKOW
f 'Ed
^ AWAt
law the President is required to sub
mit to congress on the opening day
of each regular session, the first Mon
day in December, estimates of the gov
ernment expenditures for the ensuing
fiscal year. Included in these esti
mates, of course, is the budget for the
army and the navy.
The administration took the position
that congress cut below the safety
mark in the reductions which it or
dered in the army and navy for the
present fiscal year. The army was
cut to 150,000 men, and large amounts
were sliced off the naval estimates. It
is unlikely that the administration,
when it submits the December budget,
will be willing to cut below the exist
ing figures.
Getting to Be a Pretty Big Boy Now
#r:;g
-pi - ~ ----
Astonishing figures concerning
the magnitude of the screen play
industry in this country are
brought to light by the complaint
made agginst one of the motion pic
ture corporations of “unfair competi
tion.” The federal trade commission
estimates that there are 18,000 thea
ters in the United States devoted to
motion pictures, that 20,000,000 per
sons attend the performances every
day, and that the admissions paid ag
gregate $4,000,000 each 24 hours. This
is the retail end of the business, and
the vast sum of money that goes for
tickets is paid at the ticket offices
in cash. It may safely be assumed
that the business is as great on Sun
days as on other days. Therefore it
appears that $1,460,000,000 is spent
every year by the people of the United
States on movies.
In 1000 the total interest-bearing
debt of the United States was $1,023,
478,800; In the fiscal year 1917 the
ordinary receipts of the government
reached $1,118,174,126. The first Lib
erty loan brought to the federal treas
ury in the fiscal year 1917 the sum
of $1,466,335,095. That is, the sum
spent on one form of amusement alone
in the United States in a year equals
the initial payments on the first Lib
erty loan, in raising which so expedi
tiously the nation felt it was doing
itself proud and displaying a wonder- j
fui financial power.
Of the $1,460,000,000 that goes from
American pockets tor motion pictures
every year, the federal trade commis
sion says approximately two-thirds, or
say $975,000,000, comes from patrons
of theaters showing films distributed
by this one corporation. There is no :
attempt in the dispatches from Wash- i
ington to show how this vast sum is i
divided; how much goes for rent of
theaters, how much to theater orches
tras, how much to the local managers,
and how much to the treasury of the
corporation whose business is to be
investigated.
The newspapers print “a general !
denial of charges” from the offices of i
the accused corporation. A special :
denial is made regarding the exclusion
of independent films, the corporation
declaring that it “can't get enough
first-class films to fill our houses.”
Americans Lose by Collapse of Mark
COLLAPSE of the German mark to
a point below 1 cent, for the first
time In financial history, iias
caused a loss of millions of dollars to
American investors and speculators.
The exact amount of this loss is diffi
cult to even approximate, for marks
have been sold in tills country, as well
as in all other countries, in every con
ceivable manner, and through hun
dreds of varied channels.
The guess of one banker is that no
less than $100,000,000 worth of marks
have been disposed of in the United
States since the armistice, and that
the average price paid for tltese marks
was approximately 2J£ cents. On that
basis, and at the present quotation,
approximately 00 cents of every Amer
ican dollar put into marks lias been
lust.
It was not until mid-summer, after
the armistice was signed, that quota
tions in the. German mark were re
sumed. They started at 7% to 8 cents
per mark.
The appeal of the traffic in German
currency was directed at those familiar
with Germany and her industrial and
financial efficiency in pre-war days.
With tiie mark selling at 5, 4. 3, or 2
cents, .the point was made that the
German government would soon be on ;
Its feet, and that her financiers would |
quickly bring the mark back to 23.8
cents. Its pre-war worth. The halt
was attractive.
The decline in marks is due to the
oversupply furnished by the German
printing press, including treasury
notes and other forms of paper cur
rency. The German circulation now
outstanding is in excess of 100,000,
000,000 marks. The gold held by the
reichshank is only about 1 per cent of
this sum.
Germany is already virtually bank-4
rupt as to its internal debt. Is it the
thought anywhere in Berlin that by
causing or pleading bankruptcy as to
the external or reparational debt the
situation could Dot be worse and some
thing might turn up to make it better?
CAN’T DO THE 'WORK
It’s too much to try to work every day
against a constant, dull backache, or sud
den darting pain in the small of the back.
Be rid of it. Try Doan’s Kidne'y Pills.
Your neighbors recommend them. Ask
your neighbor?
Geo Ryan, farmer, R. F. D. No. 1,
Morrill, Me., says: “Doan's Kidney Pills
have been used( in my home with very
beneficial results. I used them sbout five
years ago when my kidneys were out of
order. I was annoyed by having to pass
the kidney secretions too often and they
were highly colored and deposited a sedi
ment, When I went to rise from a stoop- .
I ing position, a snarp pain would catch
I me iacross the center of my back and it
was a ha-rd matter to keep at work on my
farm. I inquired for a good kidney medi
cine and was advised to go to Poor &
Son’s Drug Store and get six boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them accord
ing to directions and they fixed me up in
good shape. I have had no further trouble
with my kidneys since and I am glad to
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills.”
