Rcfolutions on Tariff. 



F. W. Bolgiano filed the schedule with 

 thp Ways and Means Committee at Wash- 

 ington December 3. It was accompanied 

 by the following resolution: 



At a meeting of the committee on 

 tariff and customs of the American Seed 

 Trade Association, an organization which 

 consists of the leading seed growers of 

 the tTaited States, as well as seed deal; 

 ers, the foHowing preamble and resolu- 

 tions were unanimously adopted: 



Whereas, The members of this associa- 

 tion are satisfied that the present duties^ 

 on seeds and bulbs afford an adequate 

 measure of protection to the American 

 farmer and deprecate any radical change 

 in the existing rate of duty on seeds and 

 bulbs, and 



Whereas, Owing to the methods of 

 production abroad there is great difficul- 

 ty, if not impossibility, in fixing equitably 

 market values in the country of produc- 

 tion because there are no open markets 

 or exchanges where they are dealt in 

 from day to day as is the case with 

 many staple products, and 



Whereas, These conditions, which are 

 inseparable from the industry, have in 

 the past led to great difficulty on the 

 part of the appraising officers of the 

 customs, in some cases to great injustice 

 to importers and to serious inequalities 

 in the administration of the tariff, and 



Whereas, These undesirable results 

 seem to be iD«~H,able when the duty on

seeds and bulbs is assessed on an ad 

 valorem basis, now, therefore, be it 



Resolved, That it is the judgment of 

 this association that all dutiable seeds 

 and bulbs should pay duties on a specific 

 basis, and further be it 



Resolved, That we strongly recommend 

 to the ways and means committee the 

 following schedule of duties on seeds and 

 bulbs which has been compiled on the 

 basis of average values abroad and with 

 the desire to maintain the equivalents of 

 the existing ad valorem rates, and finally 

 be it 



Resolved, That it is the sense of this 

 association that, whatever duties on seeds 

 and bulbs may hereafter be decided upon 

 they should be assessed on a specific and 

 not an ad valorem basis. 



These resolutions were supported by 

 the following telegram filed on behalf of 

 the Wholesale Seedsmen 's League and 

 signed, also, by a number of representa- 

 tive houses: 



The Wholesale Seedsmen's League by 

 its directors have unanimously adopted 

 the following: 



Resolved, That we heartily approve and
