Indianapolis News: The sugar beet
growers make the point that If reduc-
ton is made on Cuban raw sugar, the
consumer in this country will not be
benefited, but that the reduction will
only add so much more money and pow
er to the sugar trust, which will make
use of the advantage to press its war
against the sugar beet industry in the
west The point is clear. What con-
gress should do, in addition to lowering
the tariff on raw sugar. is to lower the
tariff on the refined product also, that
the consumer in this country may re-
ceive the benefit. and that the two su-
gar trusts may be permitted TO break
