THE CUSTOMS SERVICE
The United States customs service will cost this fiscal
year about $17,405,000. This is an increase of about $505,
000 over the fiscal year ending June 30. The customs busi
ness and receipts have been increasing constantly since
the enactment of the 1922 tariff. Customs receipts for
the fiscal year ended June 30 amount to amout $580,000,
000.
The increase in customs receipts has exceeded all pre
dictions. The opinion prevails that the higher the tariff
rates, the lower are the imports. But imports have not
declined under the higher tariff rates; on the contrary,
they have increased.
This years imports will approximate $4,700,000,000
in value—an increase of more than $2,000,000,00 over the
year 1922, when the present tariff law was enacted. As a
consequence, the work of the customs bureau has increas
ed enormously. The amount of foreign merchandise
brought into the country during the six months of this
year ending with June 30 exceeded any six months in the
country’s history.
To live within the regular appropriation, the cus
toms bureau has been obliged to refrain from filling vac
ancies, thus depleting the customs personnel. The second
deficiency appropriation bill provides for a supplement
ary sum amounting to $505,000 to complete and make
efficient the personnel in the bureau.
A POWERFUL LENS
Light from a lens live feet wide, projecting a shaft of
1,280,000,000 candlepower skyward, is to be a crowning
achievement of the tower of light at the sesquicentennial.
According to the engineers, this means light enough to
illuminate Camden three times over; and they think that
the beam should be seen as far away as Boston. The ad
vance in the applied science of lighting is one of the mea
sures of human progress made since the centennial.
STILL SOME LEFT
We venture the prediction that if Charles Evans
Hughes is still in Europe on September 27 the Republican
State convention will nevertheless refuse to let Represen
tativ La Guardia come in as “keynoter.” The venerable
Elihu Root will still be available.
INFANT INDUSTRIES
Capt. Robert. Dollar says that manufactories must
grow up within a city and not be stolen from other com
munities^ Get a little stock in your own well conducted
“infant” industries and grow up with them.
THAT SURPLUS
There are rumors that an extra session of congress
may be called in the fall, but the probabilities are Presi
dent Coolidge will take no chances with a surplus in the
Treasury.
SUMMER DIVERSIONS
Oh, well anytime we haven’t much to do this summer
we can saunter out somewhere and hear an officeceeker
tell us how good he is and what riIlians the other fellows
always were.
CHAMBER MEET AT FISHER’S
The regular weekly business meet
ing and luncheon of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce will be held
at noon tomorrow at Fisher’s cafe.
STARR DUE IN PORT FRIDAY
The steamer Starr, Capt. O. A. Jo
hansen, left Unalaska yesterday morn
ing, southbound. According to the lo
cal office the vessel should arrive in
port Friday.
