WASHINGTON Sept. 12.-G«r-
many on October 15 will lose all
tariff reductions granted by the
United States in reciprocal trade
pacta official sources made known
Thursday because of asserted per-
sistent and flagrant discrimina-
tion* against American Imports
there.
The termination of tariff bene-
fits attributed to the state depart-
ment was interpreted as Instituting
a new policy In American foreign
trade.
Secretary Hull it was learned au-
thoritatively has notified Dr. Hans
Luther the German ambassador
that after October 15 all German
imports Into the United States must
pay the highest prevailing duty
rates.
By that action this country estab-
lishes for the first time in many
years a two column tariff schedule
one with normal rates for countries
which grant equality of treatment for
American goods and another high-
er schedule for countries which dis-
criminate against American goods.

rections to the treasury department

be in the thlok of the expected fighting in Ethiopia Here is a
truckload of them being started on their way from an Italian port

stock market cut lte speed down ap-
preciably Thursday as profit-tak-
ing ruts appeared in the upward
price path.
Buying in the metals and scattered
specialties tended to offset to some
extent selling flurries in various
issues that have been registering
new year highs almost daily. The
trend during the greater pan of the
session coind be called little better
than Irregular.

Cotton was a trifle easier. Bonds

There were a number of other en-
couraging signs described on the re-
covery horizon. Automobile men re-
ported continued better than sea-

dealers and consumers which has
brought haste in putting exit new

A helpful influence was the an-

closed a 4 per cent increase over the

LETTERS to I
the EDITOR
To The Herald:
I have read of a continual list cl
accidents on the highways of the
Valley. I must say alter making
nearly 10000 miles and receiving The
Herald quite regularly that the traf-
fic accidents stand out quite prom-
inently which in the case of level
Valley roads should not be the case.
Having travelled over 13 states 1
was always Interested in road con-
ditions and particular^ mar*mgs.
which playi a greit part in safe
driving particularly at night though!
I did none of It. Personally going
over them only by daylight 1 see
many reasons why accidents could
readily happen at night at very
abrupt curves.
On the Edcouch-Mercedes high-
way are two such examples. Since
June I have not been over same to
lesm If they have been adequately
marked. Both turns need the word
“Danger Short Turn." in two foot
letters to warn drivers several hun-
dred feet in advance of these curves
not so close that you turn your car
over to make the turn.
One fault is In many cases dan-
gerous places are not adequately
marked and If marked are marked
by such small signs that they are ln-
slgnifcmt and do not Impress the1
driver of the danger he Is approach-
ing.
You must make an Impression on
the auto driver and not chose a cer-
tain standard of signs throughout
which in no-wise convey the serious-
ness under which the driver ap-
proaches disaster.
You might say that In spite of
all you could do accidents w:uld
happen Just the simex True enough
but they would be minimized and the
authorities would not be responsible
if they did their duty to the utmost.
I believe that a driver going over
a highway the flirt time cm point
cut fau’ts better than one acquainted
with the same as lta the stringer
that falla into the pit through Ig-
norance unless amply advised by
alms lar»e enough to impress him
The Valley needs a three lane
highway two lines drawn down the
reed. Each one keeping to t'sc right
and the middle lane used for massing
only. Manv thousand of miles hive
been broadened in the west to acco-
modate the traffic in manner.

His action was In conformity with
a house reso.u.ion. generally intend-
ed to permit inquiry into congres-

ed that it provided for a Louisiana
investigation.
Longa grave was dug near two
great oaks on the center of & beau-
tiful sunken garden across the drive
fronting the capltol. It was Mrs
Long’s wish that he be burled there
and the senator was himself qu:ted
as having expressed a desire to lie
in the state house grounds.
The funeral was set for 4 p. m
Simple was the ritual arranged for
one of the mo t striking figures in
southern politics.
A funeral march adapted from
"Every Man a King.” the eampaign
scng which Long wrote; the eulogy
and sermon by Mr Smith and the
reading of scripture; that was all.
But every fcot of the 20 seres of
capltol grounds was expected to be
filled at the time.
The sorrowing and the euriour
meanwhile streamed by the hun-
dreds past the huge bronsc casket
magnificent In construction. In the
capltol. Dressed In evening clothes
Long lay on a couch within the cof-

tained.” Odom said. “I do tot wish
to reveal their Identity at this
time and I don’t know what new
Information If any they will throw
on the case.
••A case of this sort. In my opin-
ion. should be thoroughly Investi-
gated and v.-e are going to unearth

wounding of Roman Campos Vlve-
ros and Mariano M. Verttx.

ing. They also denied they were
supporters of Oeneral Plutarco Ellas
Callee. former president now living
In the Hawaiian Islands who re-
tired from Mexican politics after a
dispute with Cardenas.
C ^servers said the shooting grew
out of a heated debate between
members of the majority and the
qslnority over Internal regulations
of the chamber.
The immediate cause was an ex-
change of words between Juan Ben-
et rightist deputy for Ouan | :ato.
and Roman Campos Vlveros. .mem-
ber of the majority.

blazed away and within a few sec-
onds shots were fired from many
parte of the chamber.

desks and spectators in the galleries
scrambled for the doors.
No Arrests Made
When the smoke cleared away
and order was restored. Valadez
was found lifeless on the floor.
Mendez a rightist was wounded
seriously in the side. Vlveros and
Vertiz. both leftists escaped with
superficial wounds.
The dead deputy. 38 years old.
was well known in Mexico as a poet
and humorist. He was serving his
first term in the chamber and was
trying to escape from the room
when he was struck In the head by
a bullet.
Present during the affray was a
Nicaraguan deputy. Caslmlro fiol-
telo Tovar who had Just complet-
ed a speech expressing his coun-
try's regards for Mexico. When
the excitement subsided members
of a reception committee assigned

munity and no arrests were made.

vent Texas newspapers from carry-
ing advertisements of liquors In
view of the fact that every news
stand is loaded with magaxinee
from the East full of liquor ads." he
Mid.
"It would be equally preposterous
to declare action against the maga-
zines when barring them from
Texas news stands would Injure
Texas and add nothing to Uie gen-
eral good.”
