RICHARDSON'S PLAN.
Has Scheme For Getting Ahead of
the Sugar Trust

Washington Feb. 20.-Represent
Richardson, Crenn.) the minority leader
Of the house, after consultation with
some of his Democratic colleagues, has
introduced in the house two resolutions
aiming at the sugar trust. The first is
as follows:
whereas, The prices of sugars have
recently several times been advanced,
manufacturers in each instance having
agreed upon the same rate per pound,
which is prina facie evidence that a
trust or combination exists for the pur-
pose of destroying competition in order
that enormous profits may be realized,
the American Sugar Refining company,
of New Jersey having for many years
paid II per cent annually in dividends
upon $S6, ,s6S, ,OeO of common stock; there
fore be it
Resolved, That sugars manufactured
by the said American Sugar Refining
company of New Jersey, and all other
manufacturers in this country, shall af-
ter six months from the passage OF this
act be prohibited by the interstate com
merce commission from being trans
ported in any manner whatsoever, from
one state to another until the said
commission are satisfied that sugars
offered for interstate transportation
have not yielded a profit to the manu-
facturer thereof of more than four per
cent in excess of the cost Of the same,
which shall be ascertained in such man
leF as the SdlQ COulInlSS1OA ia AlS OAS-
cretion may determine.
The second provides that:
Whereas, a monopoly exists among su-
gar manufacturers and in consequence
enormous profits are being realized; there
fore, be 1t
s'Resolved, That from and after the pas
sage of this resolution all kinds of sugars,
molasses and everything entering into the
manufacture of sugar shall be admitted
free from duty from Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Hawaiian islands,"
Mr.. Richardson, speaking of these reso-
lutions, said:
THE Interstate commerce commission
under the constitution interpreted by
the supreme court in the Adistone Pipes
& Steel company and the F. c. Knight
company cases has the power to refuse
interstate transportation to sugars and
other manufactured articles, which pro-
duced enormous profits through monopo-
listic control, until the profits on such
goods have been brought, within fair and
reasonable limits, and when the necessi-
ties of life are involved, as in sugars, if
not in any other manufactured articles
controlled by monopolies, public senti-
ment will sustain the commission in the
exercise of such power. In order, how
ever, through a specific governmental en-
actment to make it mandatory for the
said commission to exercise that power
l have offered this non-partisan resolu-
tiOn.''

There was a lively time at the meet

and also attacked Mr.. Snattinger, who
was not present A Newman replied for
Mr. Snattinger, and questioned Mr.
Forbes motives
All sorts of reports concerning Mr.
Snattinger have been started 1t is
rather strange that a man of Mr.. Snat-
fingers standing should be subjected

CLAPP MAKES A STATEMENT

ernOr, but of Course, If the

During the last few weeks there has
grown up strong sentiment among the
Democratic leaders of the state that the
nominee for lieutenant governor this year
should be a man who can command the
enthusiastic support of the pe2pe, with
out regard to party, and thus leave the
succession to the governorship, in the
event of Gov. Lind being called from the
state, in friendly hands.
Among the names that have been men
toned in this connection, that of William
Mitchell, the veteran jurist, recently re-
tired from the bench of the highest court
in the state, has won high favor, and,
perhaps, the greatest enthusiasm.
Judge Mitchell is known we'll and favor
