THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, OLD ANTI-DUMPING BILL IS REVIVED Administration Proposes to Of fer Substitute for Upward , Revision of Tariff. PROVISION DEFEATED ONCE Special Duty . on Cheap Products Lest in Democratic Senate Re publicans Will Fight for Res toration of Protection. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 12. President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo will oppose any pro posal looking to such upward revision of the tariff as will provide ample revenue to run the Government, and likewise, they will reject all proposals to- utilize the tariff in barring from the United States the contemplated flood of cheap products from Europe after the restoration of .peace. If Mr. Mc Adoo can have his way, there will be but one modification of the Underwood tariff law the repeal or suspension f the free sugar clause, and late indica tions are that the President is disposed to approve the tariff ideas of his son-in-law. To guard agafnst the dumping of cheap products from Europe, the Ad ministration proposes to enact the anti dumping section of the original Un derwood bill, which was approved by the House, but eliminated by the Senate. Special Duty Provided. The anti-dumping bill favored by the Administration provided: "That whenever articles are exported to the United States of a class or a kind made or produced in the United States, it the export or actual selling price to the importer of the United States or the price at which such goods are con signed, is less than the fair market value of the same article when sold for home consumption in the usual and ordinary course in the country whence exported to the United States at the time of its exportation to the United States, there shall, in addition to the duties otherwise established, be levied, collected and paid on such articles on their importation into the United States a special (or dumping) duty equal to the difference between the said ex port or actual selling price of the ar ticle for export, or price at which such goods are consigned, and said fair market value thereof, for home con sumption, provided that this said spe cial duty shall not exceed 15 per cent ad valorem in any case, and that goods whereon the duties otherwise estab lished are equal to 50 per cent ad valorem shall be exempt from such special duty. "'Export price" or 'selling price" or "price at which such goods are con signed." in this section shall be held to mean and include the exporters" price for the goods, exclusive of all charges thereon after their shipment from the place whence exported directly to the United States."' Republicans Will Oppou. There will be Republican opposition to such an anti-dumping bill, and as a substitute, it will be proposed by the protectionists in Congress to revise generally the tariff upward, thereby guarding American producers against cut-throat competition from Europe, and-atthe same time providing reve nue t" run the Government, and to meet the unusually heavy expenditures incident to the National defense legis lation. Furthermore, it is intimated that there will be some Democratic sentiment in favor of upward revision ot the tariff, rather than the enact ment of the contemplated anti-dumping law. After the restoration of peace, with low wages prevailing abroad, and with low prices made necessary as a result of the war, European exporters will be able to sell in American markets cheaper than ever before, even though they sell in the United States at a price no lower than they are getting at home. That being true, protectionists will assail the Administration bill on the ground that it will not operate as an anti-dumping law. but will rather enable European exporters to sell in this country for the same price they get in their home markets.

CANADA SUFFERS BY WAR Stringency in Finances and in La bor Is Notable. , WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. "The extent to which Canada has suffered by reason of the European war can only be ap preciated by a visit to the Dominion and. observation of the conditions." re marked F. A. Sutherland, of Detrbit, Mich., at the Raleigh. "It is seen in the reduced staffs of the big railway and other corporations; in the thou sands of men seeking admission to the home guards, which promises no glorv, but pays $1.10 a day; the thousands' of empty houses in Toronto; in the deficit of about $3,000,000 that the city of Montreal is facing; in Quebec, where real estate has depreciated greatly in value, but most of all It la observable in the official reports. "A short time. ago I read a report made by the Department of Trade and Commerce, which disclosed that in the last year imports had fallen from close to $600,000,000 to less than $450,000,000, a drop of nearly 30 per cent. This is explained by the cutting off of trade with Germany and Austria-Hungary, which until the beginning of the war had been increasing rapidly and had actually quadrupled between 1908 and 1912. '"Notwithstanding the people of Can ada have had to pay dearly for being a possession of Great Britain, there is the most intense loyalty on the part of Canadians for the mother country. Canada has given the best of her youth to help fight England's battles. Pro portionately the Dominion has done more than England, for in a population of less than 7,000,000 approximately 150,000 soldiers have been sent' tn lha allied armies, whereas England has conmouiea, according to reports, not to exceed 1,000,000 men. But there is no complaint, and Canada will continue to give of her blood and wealth until this terrible war is over."

She is coming to this coun try for a short rest before she returns to resume her . work among the wounded. The benefit at which Miss Greuez sold the kiss occurred last Sun day night.

Everywhere men complain about work; even boys and girls in school or business find work tedious and irk some, but it isn't the workhalf so much as their own lack of physical strength that makes it hard. Rich blood, strong lungs and health ful digestion make work pleasurable in business, in school or even house work, and if those who are easily tired who are not sick, but weak and ner vous would just take Scott's Emul sion for one month and let its pure concentrated food create richer blood to pulsate through every artery and vein let it build a structure of healthv hissue and give you vigorous strength you would una work easy and would look for more. Insist on Scott's. ScoU& Bowaclooiaficld.M.J. 15-35 becoming better organized. I. personally, believe most heartily in the development of the club idea among boys. The develop ment of boys' clubs is a work which re ceives my heartiest commendation and I want the boys of Oregon to understand that If I can help them in any way to get more out of life, either in their work or in their play, they may count upon my help and friendship. I hope every boys' organization In Ore gon will be represented and I hope that just aa many will be In attendance as pos sibly can arrange to be there. Gatherings for the exchange of ideas and the wont ing out of plans of co-operation are ex tremely valuable and should be encouraged to the fullest degree possible.
