WHAT A GREAT MERCHANT THINKS OF THE FORDNEY
BILL
X N response to inquiries from Chambers of Commerce and
I business men, John U. Sneaa, president oi xuarsnau r icm a.
I . .... e 1 1 T". i '. C C Will ,AnDficifw
L'o., has tnis to say oi me roruiiey taiui um muuouuv .
"It is vital that congress be made to understand that a law
ihai nrnhihit nnr hiivino- nroducts of foreign manufacturer will
make it impossible for Europe to purchase our surplus farm
products raw materials, etc. Europe can oniy pay in ius luu
ducts; it has not the gold.
"This tariff bill now before the finance committe of the
to rnntains msnv Drovisions destructive to
American business, and will imDOse upon the consumer the bur
den of higher prices. Chief among its objectionable features
is the so-called 'American valuation plan.
"The merchant who must buy his wares six months to a year
or more in advance and be compelled to make such purchase
with no idea of what some American expert or manufacturer
thinks should have been paid for the goods is not only placed m
an impossible position, but is actually prohibited from trading
in foreiirn eoods. It is mv judgment that this particular feature
of the Fordney tariff bill will be so destructive to the revival of
American business that a forceful protest should be sent to
Washington. f
"On the other hand, if poor judgment is used in framing the
laws on these three great questions (tariff, taxation and trans
portation), we will no doubt stumble on through a period of un
certainty, business stagnation and unrest."
In the Marshall Field & Co. house organ, Field Quality
Notes, August 27, there appears a two page statement Betting
forth more fully the position taken by Mr. Shedd. A particular
attack is made on the American valuation plan in the Fordney
act, because under this section American manufacturers "can
themselves regulate the duty upon imported goods by increasing
their own prices as the rate of duty is to be based on the whole
sale selling price in the United States on similar goods."
Here are some further statements in the house organ refer
red to:
"The theory that exchange cheapens the product is not in
accord with the facts as in our experience during the last six
months we have paid in these countries where depreciated cur
rency exist3 in many instances over 2000 per cent higher costs
than those of pre war days. In fact as currency depreciates
tvrices increase acordinely.
"Under the most favorable conditions a change in our cus
toms arrangement so entirely unprecedented (the American
valuation plan) would cause the utmost concern to merchants,
manufacturers, carriers and bankers. Under present conditions,
however cautiously put into effect, further and worse confusion
would be added to a market that has already been frightened
into partial paralysis.
"It is our judgment that the American valuation plan in the
Fordney tariff bill will be so destructive to business that every
merchant should induce his local newspaper to print protests
against its passage and that merchants, individually and collec
tively, should send strong written protests to their representa
tives in congress.
As an instance of how the proposed new tariff would work
the house organ carries a table of wholesale pnce3 under present
tariff rates and similar prices under the Fordney bill. One sin
gle item will show the trend. Women's gloves imported from
France and selling at $22.50 per dozen wholesale, would have
n duty of $14.60 a dozen, thus making the wholesale price un
der the Fordney bill $39 a dozen. In other words, ladies' gloves
would be virtually doubled in price at a time when the country
is clamoring for lower prices because of reduced earning power.
The views of a house like Marshall Field & Co. are particu
larly interesting because what they say is inspired by business
considerations and not politics.
LETS FIND THE ANSWER
IDAHO cars are so comonm in Pendleton that they excite no
comment whatever. They are an everyday sight. Yet it
is approximately 200 miles to the Idaho line at Huntington.
But we don't see many cars from Grant county or from other
sections of the great region south of the Umatilla county south
cm border. In other words, we are in closer touch with other
states than we are with a large portion of our own territory.
The situation of course is due to the fact we have improved
roads leading east and west and to the north but none to the
Eouth.
In these days travel is influenced more by road conditions
than by the element of distance. Most people would rather
make the drive between Pendleton and Spokane or Pendleton
and. Portland than the shorter trip to Ritter or Long Creek.
Good roads draw distant places near and bad roads make near
by points seem remote.
There is need for a road policy that will overcome the bar
rier to communication to the southward. In an age like this
two vast regions located side by side as are the counties of Uma
tilla and Grant, should not be strangers. The present state of
affairs works a loss on both regions but the blame is more upon
Umatilla county than on Grant because the worst bit of road on
the Pendleton-John Day highway is the steep, long grade down
to the north fork. ,, I
It is up-to this county to find a solution for the problem. We
c an get a road to the south if we try hard enough and we should i
make thecffort. It should not be farther to Grant county than
it is to Idaho.
From the standpoint of city finances Pendleton has been in
the mme plight as the small but growing boy whose pants had
berome tighter than his skin because he could sit down in his
tiUn without trouble but not so when wearing his pants. It is
essential that there be some relief unless we wish to face con
siderable embarrassment
It i scarcely necessary to Pay that people want the 1925 ex
position held. They will be exceedingly disappointed if it is
not held. As to the finance olan adopted, it is perhaps as fair
a plan an could be devised. It is gratifying that the state mon-
y to b? raised will be through taxation and not by subscription.
