...free list brick was made dutiable at $1.25 per 1,000. A tax of 8¢ per 100 Ib. was laid on cement. While fir, pine, spruce and hemlock were retained on the free list, other kinds of lumber were put under the tariff, with cedar shingles paying 25% ad valorem. The Oregon shingle industry asked for protection against Canadian imports. Chairman Hawley of the Ways & Means Committee, also of Oregon, saw that it got what it wanted. Quick came the claim that the farmer's new profits under the bill would be immediately absorbed by increased costs in building material...
...Ad Valorem. The valuation of imports under the new bill cropped up as a controversial problem. There are two bases of valuation, foreign and U. S. By and large the new bill retains foreign valuation, i. e., the value the foreign producer sets upon his article, or the price for which he sells it in his own country.

The cheapest Chevrolet model sells for 30,400 francs ($1,191). France's 45% ad valorem duty largely accounts for these prices. Even with this duty, it is estimated that General Motors' projected cheap car for the Opel Works could be sold in France at about 16,000 francs ($627). Thus the Opel-General Motors deal seriously threatens Ford in the French, as well...
