Evidently the Sugar

COupduy.
Trust has become alarmed at the
which it has created
by it's attack on the home sugar
industry, which the people OF this
are trying to develop, and
I would not be at all surprised If
an effort were made at Washing
ton next winter looking to the re-
moval of all the protection to the
Sugar Trust, which it seems to be
using in an effort to defeat the will
of the American people in regard
to the development of home su-
gar industry"
The trouble with Havemeyer
and the Refining Trust is that the
beet factories are turning out a re-
fined sugar Suitable to the wants
of vast numbers of consumers,
without, the agency of the trust.
The trust has become alarmed at
the development Of the home beet
sugar industry and want it to re-
frain from doing busines. And
in order to accomplish their end
they have in the territory where
the beet factories are selling sugar
lowered the price in an unfair
way by making special prices to
the iobbers on small quantities in
order to force the beet men to
meet the prices, which are any
where from cent ! IL cents I'M
der the price at which they are
selling on the seaboard. This is
not done with the idea of giving
cheaper sugar to the consumer, but
solely with the purpose OF trying
to crush out the beet sugar In
dustry and preventing competition
to themselves from that source.
i Mr.. Oxnard points out that un'
der the reciprocity treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands, which lasted fol
twenty-five years, all Hawaiian 81.
gar was admitted duty free to the
Pacific coast; the consumers never
received any of the benefits, as the
profits on this sugar went entirely

Fighting The Sugar Trust.
Daily Item

Oally ltems
Mr.. Oxnard, president of the
American Beet Sugar Association,
is doing manly service in defense
of our sugar growers and is emit
tied to the thanks of every Louisi-
ana. Willett and Gray, the mouth
piece Of the Sugar Trust, a few
days ago said that the differences
between reiners and the. beet su-
gar people, when sifted down to
it's source and origin, is reduced
to q simple fight between the two
large beet sugar interests of Cali
fornis the American Beet Sugar
Company on the one side, repre-
sented by Mr.. Oxnard, and the
Spreckles Sugar Company on the
other side. As the influence of
this competition for control of the
Pacific reaches to the Missouri RI
yer, through shipments from Cali
fornia, the cutting of prices is felt
IN that location. Beyond that,
however, we doubt if the beet su.
gar industry is likely to be very
seriously affected"
To this insidious and altogether
untrue statement Mr.. Oxnard Re-
plies by saying:
This statement is false, as the
recent cut in sugars in the terrific
ry bordering on the Missouri RI
yer and the special prices granted
there we're given by the agents OF
the American Sugar Refining
