OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS
UNDER-VALUATION OF IMPORTS
Undervaluations of imports, which is costing the United
States government from ten to forty millions a year under the
present system of basing duties on the foreign invoice price of
goods, will be presented by the American valuation plan of as-
sessing import duties as proposed in the new tariff bill now be-
fore the senate finance committee. This claim, made by Walter
Camp, president of th American Valuation association, an or-
ganization of representative American manufacturers, is sub-
stantiated by the sworn testimony of several well known tariff
authorities.
George F_ Lamb, special attorney in the division of cus-
toms, department of justice, in testifying before the senate
finance committee, recited several flagrant cases of undervalu-
ation during the last two months, which, he claimed, the Ameri-
can valuation plan would have prevented.
fHe said: "On May 17,1 had a case for presentation of the
board of general appraisers. That case was one of a firm up in
Boston which had imported sets of aluminum pots from Ger-
many. They had actually paid 300 marks per set, but they in-
voiced them at 115 marks, an undervaluation of 167 per cent.
The importers' agent who made the purchase went on the stand
and insisted that 115 marks was the correct price, but the pri-
vate invoices which showed what had actually been paid were
produced and he finally admitted that the consular invoice of
115 marks price was false.
"There was also a case before the board of some mica dia-
phragms for phonograph records. This merchandise was in-
voiced at 2 cents apiece. The board found the proper valuation
was 10 cents apiece, an undervaluation of about 400 per cent.
"This act recalls the statement of Charles D. Lawrence,
United States special attorney for the division of customs, who
asks, 'Why should the government not fix the dutiable value in
the United States upon the basis of prices prevailing in the
United States? Instead of seeking out the markets of the
world, of which there are scores, in order to find values, as we
are doing today, why would it not be simple, more efficient,
scientific and accurate method to find the value of all imported
commodities where such values may be found at first hand, and
if the information or evidence cannot be obtained by voluntary
contribution its production can be secured by judicial process,
as those in possession of it are amenable to our laws.'

IDEAS
Ideas are good only when translated into results.
Many good ideas die entirely or wane into obscurity be-
causethe originator has not the courage or the perseverance to
make them realities. And the reward often, goes to the man
who picks up these ideas second-hand but has the courage and
faith to put them across.
Hamlet is the classical example of a mighty intellect that
failed miserably in life because of vascillating indecisiveness.
Hamlet had ideasbut never put one of them into execution.
Possibly he may have judged himself a man among men, judg-
ing himself by what he felt capable of doing. But the world
would judge him by what he didand count him pretty much a
failure.
Look over the great names in history and business. They
not only had ideas, but they had the patience and the courage to
work out the practical details of these ideas.
Caesar not only thought of a Roman world-empire but
made that idea a reality. Napoleon dreamed big and possessed
in addition that wonderful faculty of working out every detail
of every dream.
Columbus thought there was a shorter route to India than
was then known,and in attempting to prove it discovered a con-
tinent.
The late Frank W. Wool worth made millions because he
conceived the idea of large profits in the sale of a variety or
articles of merchandise at very small pricesand acted upon it.
Thomas Edison's capacity to work patiently for years on
an idea is probably more important to civilization in general
than the idea itselffor few men would have the inventor's
patience tp drive an idea into shape to serve humanity.
Today as never, before new ideas are needed in business.
They make for efficiencywhen put into effect.

THE SQUARE PEGS
In all our urging of the farm boys to stay on the farm, we
must not forget that some boys have talents for other work, and
without their heart in farm work, will make a miserable failure
at farming. So, while it is most desirable to make home life on
the farm pleasant and attractive to the young people, it is crim-
inal to hold a boy to the farm when he has a talent for other
work. Had a certain boy with a craving for'low, been held on
the farm, our country might have been without the guiding
hand and brain of Abraham Lincoln in those trying '60's. One
must make sure that the boy has a fair opportunity, to judge the
appeaSvthJ6 farm makes, but if he has other talents, they are
equally pod-given talents, and must not be buried.\We have
farm as it is.Farm Life.
