These discriminations could be overcome by assessing a duty in ad valorem terms, but this method is open to the objection, first, that it increases administrative difficulties and tends to decrease revenue through undervaluation; and, second, that as prices advance, the ad valorem rate increases the duty per pound at the time when the consumer most needs relief and the producer can best stand competition; while if prices decline the duty is decreased at the time when the consumer is least burdened by the price and the producer most needs protection.

He smiled rather wanly again and smoothed her hand with his own. "Well, what else is there?" pondered Jane. "Is it the Afro-American bishop raising the mortgage on their chapel?" "No. I guess the Afro-Americans have about paid things off by this time." "How lonesome they must leave you? H'm! is it the Michigan Avenue Property Owners assessing you again to fight the choo-choo cars?"
