As administrator of the estate he filed inventory and appraisal of all property belonging to the estate. Petition of Frank T.

Housh was filed representing that David Housh Tariff Fallacies Answered The following questions were submitted to. Mr. Bryan by a representative of the Boston Transcript The answers will be found following the questions. First The possibility, of lowering the cost of living by tariff reduction. Answer.

Tariff reduction can lower the cost of living to the extent that tariff duties have increased that cost Where the price level in this country is, through the operation of tariff duties, raised above the price level in other countries, it can be reduced by reducing the tariff. Second. The possibility that lowered cost of commodities would be followed by lower wages. Answer. A lowering of wages would not necessarily follow a lowering of the 'tariff.

Wages do not depend upon the tariff but upon competition between wage earners. A reduction in the prices of the product would naturally increase the demand, and an increase in demand would increase the number of employes necessary to produce the larger quantity demanded, and thus the tendency would be to increase wages rather than to lower them. The protectionists have for a generation threatened a reduction in wages if the tariff is' reduced, but the threat does not rest upon an economic basis, and it is evident that it has failed this year to make the impression that it has in former campaigns. Third. The possibility that there might then be' the same discrepancy between wages and cost of living.

Answer. This question is hypothetical and it is answered in the answer to the second. Fourth. The possibility that tariff reduction would entail new taxation for revenue which would bear just as heavily. Answer.

This question seems to assume that a reduction in taxation would not result in greater revenue. It is not only possible, but probable that a reduction in the tariff would increase the revenue by increasing the imports, and at the same time increase the demand for labor by increasing the domestic output.

"The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations -on "terms of entire equality so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation, or its citizens or subjects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic, or otherwise" Hay Pauncefote Treaty 1901. Notwithstanding this our Congress near the close of its last session; passed an act permitting our coast wise vessels free passage through the canal thus giving millions indirectly to rail road owned transportation companies that had been refused di-1 rect subsidies time and again. Great Britain prompty objected to this arrangement reminding us of our attitude when she proposed taxing our vessels passing through the Wei-land canal, and suggesting arbitration. Now note the attitude of our President with the judicial temperament, Nov. 13, 1912, as told by the associated press dispatches: Washington, Nov.

15. President Taft told official visitors today he did not expect to recommend to Congress the repeal of the free toll provision made in the Panama Canal Bill last summer for American coastwise vessels. A second portion of the report of Prof. Emory R. Johnson, the expert upon whose investigation the President based his recent proclamation of tolls, became public to-day and contains strong recommendations against the giving of free tolls to American ships.

Professor Johnson's report did not discuss the diplomatic aspect of the canal toll matter and was prepared before Great Britain entered Its protest against the exemption of coastwise vessels. And note Representative Mann a little later. Washington, Dec. 21. The United States never could submit the Panama canal controversy with Great Britain in a court of arbitration, said Representative Mann of Illinois, floor leader of the House.

The occasion was an address tonight at a dinner which brought to a close here the convention of the American Society for the judicial settlement of international disputes. Several speakers in the conference had urged such arbitration. The question was submitted to a fair jury here, the Congress of the United States, said Mr. Mann, and this country has spoken on a question which is. as much its internal affair as any order and findings of the State Tax Commission relative to the succession thereto; that the said deceased left the following heirs: Emma Dean Housh, his widow, aged 60 Frank Housh son, aged 38 years; and Ad.

E. Housh, son, aged 35 years. He further asks that letters of administration be issued for this purpose only and that he be appointed as such administrator. There being no funds to come into his hands he was appointed without bond. ROCK CREEK RUJIORS.
