LEAVITT ON The SUGAR DUTY
Nebraska Man Tells Why Tariff TO Islands
Should Not Be Cut.
fAVoRS NOW IN FORCE SUFFICIENT
ExistinH Conditions, He Says. work
More TO Interests of American
Trust Than 60 the
Islanders,

Haywood q. Leavitt. president OF the Tri-
State Land company head OF the Amos
beet sugar industry. and also interested
IN several irrigation schemes in the west.
who has taken up the matter Of the Payne
bilrs proposed reduction in the tariff on
sugar from Cuba and the Philippines with
Senator Willard. said Saturday morning;
The ways and means committee is now
holding hearings on the proposed Philippine
tariff measures which, among other things
seeks TO reduce the duty on sugar produced
in the Philippines from the present rate
which is % per cent below the regular tariff
10 IS per cent Of the regular tariff.
The benefit Of the reduced duty. now in
force for Cuba and the Philippines Of 20 and
p per cent Of the tariff has proved not to
he Of benefit 20 the producers in those
islands, but almost entirely to the benefit
Of the sugar trust. This must necessarily
be SO as the lower tariff into this country
does not enable the Cuban and Philippine
grower to realize a farthing more for his
sugar in any other market of the world.
There being practically no competition be
tween buyers of. raw sugar in this country.
the Sugar trust would be foolish to pay
more for sugar to the Cuban and Philip
pine growers than they can realize for their
sugar in other markets
This Advantage Ample.
Furthermore. were this not true, and,
On fact II competition existed i'm this coun-
Try between refners for the purchase OF
its raw sugar. which comes almost entirely
from abroad. and the Cuban and Philippine
producers were actually receiving the
benefit OF the present tariff reduc-
tons this advantage, without further re-
duction, would be more than ample for the
development of their home production.
'As q matter OF fact there is no reason
why either Cuba or the Philippines should
receive any advantage over the German,
South American and other producers who
sell sugar to the United States, as they
have..not only a climatic advantage over
competitors In this market. but can Sc
cure the cheapest kind of coole labor
suitable to the work required on sugar
plantations. Not until labor conditions
are identical in Cuba and the Philippines
with those existing in this country should
any reduction be made or even considered
in the matter. We have to pay enormous
wages to beet sugar workers and a bis
price to farmers who raise sugar beets
Beet sugar raising IL the only thing
which is at present instrumental In re.
claiming the arid and 'semi-arid regions
of western Nebraska and Colorado and
Wyoming. The government is spending
vast sums on these irrigation schemes II
the west and no other crop except sugar
beets will enable the farmers TO pay tn,

rights. some of which are worth s35 an

PECULIAR ACCIDENT. !.
Morrin 7rann Of somsrviIIe Seriously
&vred on Water Street.

Morrill, Brann, who lives in Somer-
vile, met with a very unusual acct
dent yesterday morning from which he
suffered injuries of 4 rather severe ma :
ture. Mr.. Brann was driving n pung
on Water street, in which We're trans
ported two large live cows. While
crossing the railroad track at the foot
of Rhines Hill the runners of the pung
slid over the slippery stones and caused
the frail crate. in which the cows We're
Standing. to apsize. The cows, fell over
to one side and with them went Mr..
Brann. one of the big animals falling
upon him on the ground.
A number of bystanders, who wit
messed the accident. hurried to the
assistance of the PROSTATE man, and
he was rescued from his precarious
position, and carried to the office of
the steam laundry, close by. A physi-
clan was summoned and after an ex-
animation. found that Mr.. Brapn's
right leg was broken below the knee.
He sustained other injuries of less
important nature also. Mr.. Brann,
after having his injuries attended to.
was cared for by relatives. ;,
The pung was considerably dam
aged, but the cows were not hurt, and
the outfit was taken away by friends
of the owner.

An Augusta man who has been al aus-
band for many years has at last ar
rived at the conclusion that women e
often ungrateful to the one who
them a kindness, or tenders them g0pd
advice. When asked the reason OF the
conclusion which he had drawn, he
said that it was because of an expert
ence that he had had with his better
half. He then went on to say that he
had taken occasion the other day to
caution his wife in regard to the way
she carried her pocket book. She had
quite a sum of money in it, and as she
carried the pocket book in her hand, as
many women do, he told her she ought
to be careful, as she was liable to lose
it. She, however. thought that she was
able to take care of the receptacle, but
the man had not been at his office many
hours that afternoon before he had a
call on the phone, and the quavering
tones which came over the wire, which
he recognized as the voice of his wife,
told him that she had lost her cash,
pocket book and all. He did not hest
tate in hurrying home and instituting
a search for the missing property, with
the result that he soon found the
pocket book. and although the money
had been taken from it, he eventually
found that also, with the exception of
one dollar. The book and money were
restored to his wife, but when on CIV
ing them to her he expected that she
might in her thankfulness enact with
him the fragment of a scene from
Romeo and Juliet, she was ungrateful
enough to tell him that she believed
that if he had not cautioned her she
never would have lost them.
