EASTERN REFINERS
FAVOR CUBAN TREATY
Immediate Effect Would Be
Cheaper Raw Material.
WOULD BENEFIT CONSUMERS
Democratic Opposition in the Senate
Deprecated by Men Largely In
terested in the Bus;uess.

PHILADELPHIA, March l2.-The re-
port from Washington to the effect that
the Democratic Senators will oppose
the enactment OF the Cuban reciprocity
treaty is causing much comment in
local sugar circles. From opinions OK
pressed by several OF the leading in
terests in the trade. ii was learned that
this plan. il adopted. would be in direct
opposition 20 the views OF Eastern re-
fners. a majority of whom, it is said,
favor the early passage OF the act.
The passage in the treaty referring
10 sugar" said Edward Gillespie, a local
broker. who represents several of the
largest Eastern refining companies,
should. and I am sure does, meet with
the approval CT every refner. except
ing. of course. the beet sugar people in
the West and South. The 20 per cent
reduction in the duty will mean. natu-
rally. cheaper raw sugar, and as a re-
suit the refners will be able to put
their sugar upon the market at a lower
figure than at present.
Competition With Beet Interesks-
This will enable them to compete with
trade Of the Western and. Southwestern
States. which at present is controlled
entirely by the latter. owing to the low
price at which their products can be
put upon the market.
Naturally. these interests favor the
defeat OF the treaty, and have so in
structed their representatives in the
Senate. who are determined 10 take
firm stand against its passage. The
treaty must be ratified By a two-thirds
vote OF the Senate. II the democrats
as a party adopt this opposition as
policy. the treaty will not be ratified al
this session OF Congress"
When asked how the Cuban grower
would benefit by the enactment OF the
treaty. Mr.. Gillespie said:
Growers Would Lose Nothing.
The growers would naturally,
through the reduction of the duty. be
obliged to sell their raw material at
lower figure than at present Despite
this. they would lose nothing whatever.
They would make agreements with i'm
porters here for a return, or rebate. OF
a certain percentage OF the duty taken
off. They are not compelled to sell
their products to us. and IL our rehners
fail 20 meet their demands, other mar
kets are open for the sale Of their
gocds.''
Regarding the consumption OF Cuban
sugar in this country. Mr. Gillespie
stated that during the week ending
March 5. 1917 tons were imported here
through the ports OF Boston, Philadel-
phia. and New York. This is an in
crease of 3.45O tons over the importa-
tions for the same period last year.

trace of her son since thai time.
He wrote 10 his mother from the Vie
toria Hotel in New York, on the 4th Ct
last September. stating that he was TO
start in a few hours for St Paul, MINI,
investments in Mexican mining stocks.
He was also seen at that hotel at that
time by Thomas Wright, Of New York.
Nothing Heard Since.
Since then nothing has been heard Of

moodiness. His habits we're good and his
health so excellent that his mother loes
not think that he was taken sick aud is
unwilling to entertain the thought that
his mind became affected.
His business associates in Philadel-
phia are equally al a loss to explain his
disappearance. He has always been con-
siderate OF his mother and she cannot
believe that he would willingly remain
away from her.

Anent the movement on foot to test
the constitutionality of the Idaho beet
sugar bounty act. the following from
the Mankoto, Mimi, Daily Free Press,
of December 5th, will be read with in
terest here I:
"The long fight by the Minnesota
Sugar company to collect from the
State the beet sugar bounty is over.
The supreme court today nailed down
the lid of the coffin of the dead hopes
of the sugar corporation.
1.-The state is not bound either legal
ly or morally, to pay the bounty, be-
cause the bounty law was unconstitu-
tionaL
Judge Collins wrote the opinion.
Among other things he says: The
raising of sugar beets for manufacture
in this state is just as much of a pri-
vate business enterprise as is the
manufacture of sugar therefrom, or
the manufacturing business. All are
private enterprises and the state is
prohibited from engaging in them
"a moral obligrtion upon the part
of the state must have something more
substantial than legislation obnoxious
to the fundamental law to rest upon.
Something more for foundation OF
starting point than statute which is
itself immoral. A moral obligation
can never be deemed TO rest upon the
people of the state to discharge a con-
tract made by the legislature in direct
violation of the constitution"
