San Francisco, Oct. s.-Another ag-
gresslve move has been made by the
American sugar refining company, IN
the campaign which II has begun
against the beet sugar industry. The
cut In the price OF granulated sugar
to all Missouri river points which was
announced last week, has been follow
ed by a reduction in the price Of beet
and cane sugar in all states from Col
orado 10 California, The reduction was
announced by the Western Sugar Re-
filming company and amounts to thirty
cents a hundred on beet sugar and
twenty cents a hundred on cane sugar.
Robert Oxnard, vice president OF The
American beet sugar association said.
IT is a fact that the Western Sugar
Refining company has made a decline
Of 20 cents per hundred on their cane
sugar and thirty cents per hundred on
their beet sugars. This makes the diff
ference In their prices between cane
graduated and beet graduated twenty
points instead Of 10 points as hereto-
fore. The cut affects all markets from

the wealths of Christianity and its
civilizing influence, from the very
fact that they have been oppressed
for centuries by this powerful race,
as do the records Of the United
States show, is hardly believable.
We regret most sorely that
this weaker people will initiate
this most powerful people and COM
nit crime. We hope in the future
that this weaker people will no long
er initiate this powerful people, and
thus desist completely from cimmit-
ting crime of any kind, simply be-
cause we believe that when this
weaker people cimmits crime, the
same kind and degree as that com
mitted by the powerful people, it is
always doubly and trebly heinous in
the eyes of the most powerful, and
Of the section, state or
county in which it is committed, it
seems justice is not theirs to get.

Seattle thinks she is entitled to

over the Vanderbilt-French mar

surely is wealth becoming one Of the

The advocacy Of the labor unions
of this state to have a compulsory
arbitration law passed by the legisla-
ture is absurd to a degree. There is
no danger Of such a law ever being
put on the statute books Of this state,
with a legislature overwhelmingly
Republican, simply because it would
mean that the labor unions Of this
state would become the dictators of
every mans investments.

On the Maximum Capital.

For some time there have been aris-
Ing questions at the office of the secre-
tary of state as to the construction OF
the act relating to charter fees. The
office has now construed the act to
mean that fees must be paid on the
maximum capitalization named in the
declaration. For instance if it is stated
that a company is to have capital
sock Of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $3.50. .0OO the fees on sl50.OO0 must
be paid. When subsequent increases
are made the fees are on the basis OF

Three Types.

One woman loved me. She was sweet and shy,
With roguish smiles and merry. dimpling face
lowering round me like butterfly,
Bestowing kisses with a dainty grace.
But when faced the future-and she knew
With startled angry eyes she set free.
Although her heart was tolerant and true,
She loved me not enough TO sin for me.
Another woman loved me- No dark doubt
Her heart might vanquish or her spirit tame;
Blind with a passion that had blotted out
In radiant happiness all thought of shame.
Through good or evil she my fate would share,
Proudly unmindful of the worlds decree.
Willing for loves sweet sake all ills to bear,
She loved me well enough TO sin for me.
Another woman calm and hoIy-eyed,
Cold to all Others. me her great heart gave;
Supremacy happy if but by my side.
Longing in secret to he but my slave
She spent her sad, despairing life alone
And that she loved me best Of all the three
Was by her brave remuneration shown
She loved me far too well TO sin for me.
