The Underwood average rate, he added, was six per cent and the Dingley average per cent.

Many other repealing provisions are contained in the bill, but most of them deal with technical matters.

The measure also alters in a more or less degree about half of the customs laws covering the actual passage of commodities through customs houses, methods of assessing duties and other administrative definitions for the guidance of the customs force. In connection with the appraisal of values of shipments, the bill introduces a feature in authorizing customs officers to obtain verified statements of production costs Where such is deemed necessary. No machinery is provided for the purpose, however, other than that the officers can demand affadivits covering the information they seek. Another feature of the draft is the inclusion of many commodities not listed in previous tariff bills. A majority of these, however, are the products of recent inventions and of developments since the Underwood measure was passed in 1913.
