WASHINGTON, aMy substantial increases in import duties on thousands of commodities of the farm and factory are provided for in the new tariff bill which before night fall is expected to be passed by the house and sent to senate.

The measure, the first tariff legislation in seven years, also recommends sweeping changes in administrative provisions of the law and a reorganization of the tariff commission under a system designed to speed up its work. The bill revises, mostly upward, rates in every dutiable sectioq of the existing Fordney-McCurtiber law, which it is designed to supplant. Every man, woman and child in the country and nearly every foreign nation in the world is affected by the economic changes proposed by the measure in the seven- year-old republican protective tar- Perhaps the most far-reaching change is the advance of sixty-four hundredths of a cent in the effective duty on sugar, raising the present duty of 1.76 cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar to 2.40 cents. Other rates advances, designed to aid the farmer and manufacturer, affect such commodities as wool, cattle, dairy products, meats, grains, textiles, glass, paper, furniture and clothing of all descriptions. shoes, cement, common building brick, shingles, cedar, maple and birch lumber.

The measure also sets up an entirely new rate schedule to embrace manufactures of artificial silk under the official name of These goods are protected in existing law under the silk schedule. From a public standpoint the increases in the sugar rate and the boosting of the duty on raw wool from 31 to 34 cents a pound are regarded as more important than the others. The duties placed on shoes and raises in rates on hundreds of other farm and factory products also will have a rearing on family budgets unless producers absorb the higher imposts instead of passing them on to the consumer While the measure is understood to be objectionable in some respects to President Hoover. it meets his request for a reorganization of the tariff commission by providing authority for him to terminate the terms of office of the present six commissioners at his will by the simple process of sending the names of their successors to the senate for its advice and consent. The president, in exercising his power under the flexible clause, which authorizes him to raise or lower rates as much as fifty per cent, would be allowed, if he deem- PRESIDENT ROTARY INTERNATIONAL IS HEARD IN ADDRESS MARRIED QUIETLY AT HOME OF THE BRIDE BROAD INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING BASED ON OGDEN RULE URGED Important commodities long al- ed it necessary, to base rates on lowed free entry Into the United the American selling price or to States are made dutiable, Including reclassify articles in order to er- hides, leather goods, boots and feet rate changes.

He told of steps taken to remove misunderstandings of Rotary, particularly among the clergy of Italy. Discussing "Problems of Rotary he asked the convention to determine what provision should be made, if any, to retain in membership men who cease to be Rotarians through change in classification or change of residence; and also should there be some modification of the rule that all clubs meet 52 weeks in a year. After presenting other questions to be considered, Mr. Sutton continued: finally, shall groups of women relatives of Rotarians be given any encouragement by Rotary International? There are today groups of Ladies of Rotary meeting in many cities different parts of the world. It is a fact to be recognized and dealt with.

Should we encourage them or not in their desire to contribute their expression of friendliness and The speaker warned against suggestions for decentralization of Rotary administration, the Idea being, he said, to break down the present system into a number of divisions. No recognized better form of administration had been put forward, he added, and the organization can best afford to let well enough alone, continuing under the form built up by 19 experience. There has been a constant trend towards making the administration more and more international and representative of the membership, he said. Progress Noted.
