"An unfortunate thing for business
is that while the time OF congress is
given over TO hearing the arguments
on the sugar trusts proposition TO re-

is needed for exchange transactions
in trade and commerce. The people OF
this country would like 10 have the
senate and the house make progress
with the reduction and Encouragement
OF war taxes. which are no longer
needed, and which in fact have be-
come an embarrassment TO the treas
ury and a menace TO business. The tea
tax, for example. diverts about ten
millions a year from active circulation
into the treasury surplus. IL does no
good to anybody save perhaps a few
importers who laid I'm stocks before
