Havemeyer on the Sugar Margin.


Considering in the January Century
the relations of the alleged oyer-cap-
italization of the sugar trust to prices.
Mr.. Franklin Clarkin has this to re-
port of Mr. Havemeyer's claim that ne
has reduced the sugar margin:
1t is somewhat essential to know
whether the consumer is paying more
for his sugar than he ought. No doubt
the trust has brought economies to
bear which have made refining cheaper
than under the old system, for 1t IS
still able to pay seven and twelve per
cent, on stock which has been highly
"watered." BY listening to Mr.. have
meyer one may come to some pracu-
cal conclusions. He volunteered one
day:
when anyone asks me what l have
done to be proud of, / tell him just this:
I have deceased the margin on
sugar"
That is certainly of record; the
stated margin of profit or the differ
ence between the cost of the raw and
the price of the finished product, has
been reduced by the sugar trusts OPP
erations, according to the sugar sta
tisticians. There are sugar men VINO
will be inclined to dispute Mr.. Have
meyer's claim of achievement.
Thus the average margin shows con-
siderably lower than before the trust,
and lower even than the average of the
four years In the course of which the
refineries were going into bankruptcy.
Benefits arising from the economies of
the combination were not, to be sure,
distributed equally among public and
workmen and stockholders. That
would >be going beyond the customs of
our times. The people We're not mulet-
ed Ca word Mr.. Havemeyer uses often)
and the workmea We're not mulcted--t
each received some good.
Whether the reduced margin was due
to any outflow of kindness from Mr..
Havemeyer, or to his ambition to ire
fine the sugar of the American peo-
ple," one need not speculate. He says
quite frankly:
Business Is not philanthropy.
think 1t fair to get out of the consumer
all you can, consistent with the busi-
ness proposition. But If you ask too
much of a profit, you get somebody in
competition. The only way to reduce
competition Is to keep your prices be-
low the competitive point. We try to
make our prices so low as to defy COM
petition the real motive being the
protection of our own business, the re-
suit being no profit to rivals"

ASSESS ON CASH VALUE.
Supervisors urged to Be Es
pecially' Vigilant as Regards
Personal Property.

The state tax commissioners have
addressed a letter to each assessing
officer IN the state suggesting that

ment that assessing officers will i'm.
pose no greater hardships on their
constituencies or upon the individu.

its full cash value If eQualizations
have been right, and II they have
not been right then proper assess.
ments throughout the district and
county will bring them and make
burdens rest equally.
Assessors are urged to be especial
ly vigorous as regards persona
property and get all of it on the
rolls, securing the sworn statement
required by law from each taxpayer

On account of an apparent over
sight of the legislature the expense
of collecting the inheritance taxes
in Michigan will have to be borne
by the state at large. The law pro.
vides that all the money received
from inheritancestaxes shall go into
the specific tax fund, but at the
same time it provides that county
treasurers shall receive one per
cent Of all moneys collected. Attor-
ney-General Oren has furnished the
state auditors with an opinion to
the effect that the claim must be
paid from the general fund OF the
state. Every county treasurer who
has collected Inheritance taxes will
have claim against the state to be
presented to the board Of state aud
itors.

All Negaunee Knows Him.

Says the Detroit Tribune:
"The Negaunee .postoffice and
Peter Trudell are twins. Twenty
years has Peter conducted a news
stand in the lobby. Postmasters
come and postmasters go; nations
nations rise and fall; war is de-
clared and peace made, but Peter
and his news stand, like the brook,
ego on forever" administrations
all look alike to this steady-goin
nonpartisan business man. Where
liberty dwells there is his counter
and the postoffice lis his retreat
from every stormy wind" that
rips over the upper peninsula. Mr..
Trudell is asgreat accommodation to
the public. He relieves the rush at
the 'ticket wagon" by selling
stamps, of which, during his term
"office" he has sold over $1,000, 900.
Commission? Not a cent! His re
ward is the consciousness that he is
serving his country. When the
postoffice packs up and moves
somewhere else Peter packs up and
moves also. Peter loves the public
and the public loves Peter, and
everybody is pleased and would be
sad to see him "Peter" out.
