THE PRICE OF CANE.

A correspondent in the TINES
DEMOCRAT last Friday gives some
reasons why the price of sugar is
KEEP, down during the grinding
season. intimating that the sugar
exchange is mostly controlled by
the rich cane growers of Louisi-
ana, who buy their cane from the
small cane growers in Louisiana
at price based on the New Or
leans market the week the cane is
sold.
We had no means at our COM
mend to analyze the reasons and
figures given as being correct and
establish the exact difference be-
tween the price of sugar in New
Orleans and New York, but If his
figures are correct and the differ
ence would be about 35 cents per
ton of cane, it is a matter that
should be looked into by the cane
growers and also by the New Or
leans Progressive Union.
The country people and particu.
larly the cane growers, know that
the market of sugar has a down.
ward tendency from the start to
finish of the grinding season. it is
very seldom that the price of su-
gar will maintain itself during the
time the refineries are buying cane
but the price of sugar generally
goes up a short time after the
grinding season is over, or the su-
gar is out of the hands of the pro-
ducer.
Now that the matter is being
discussed, apparently on good
grounds, indicating clearly that
the price of sugar while in the
hands of the producer, is being
controlled by what appears to be
a trust or n combination of inter-
est which is just as bad and detri-
mental to the best interest of the
producer.
This matter shonld be investi-
gated at once by the planters ard
the Progressive Union in order to
protect the cane growers if the
reasons given by the correspon-
dent exist.

THE SCHOOL TAX.

ting a SCHOOL TAX OF THREE MILLS
which is without authority in law
The town had not even carried
this tax on it's budget of last year
which il now being collected.
Those who are paying this tax
are paying a tax the town has no
right to collect because it is in ex-
cess of the ten mills limit of the
town tax aud they have a legal
right to refuse the payment of
this tax.
They must also bear in mind
that in refusing to pay this illegal
tax they do not deprive the schools
of that revenue, as the law pro-
vides that the THREE MILLS SCHOOL
TAX is to be taken out of the regu-
lar ten mill tax of the town and
not to be imposed upon the tax
payers illegally as an extra tax.
Most of the tax payers of the
town will refuse to pay this illegal
tax and We desire to warn all tax
payers that they can refuse to pay
this tax which the town has no
right to collect.

assured that the big tax payers
will stand any legal test the town

CALIFORNIA; PROBLEM.

While the action of President Roose-
welt in defeating the bill introduced
in the California legislature providing
for the segregation of Japanese school
children may have been expedient
from an international standpoint, it is
hardly likely that the Southern people
will overlook the menace which big
stick methods carry to this section.
The right of the state to rule it own
affairs is one that will not soon be
relinquished by descendants of vet
Grams of the civil war.
That President Roosevelt acted has
tily is reasonably sure. 1t is extreme
ly doubtful if California had any real
intention of passing such a law be-
fore the White House occupant said
that 1t should not be done There is
in human nature a certain resistive-
ness to doing things commanded by
some self-elected overload. The OPP
portunity to send the President about
his business was the one great incen- |
tive for the bills passage.
Without discussing the necessity for
the segregation Of Japanese school
children, it is timely to say that I'M
der a strict construction of the presi-
dents action, occasions might arise in
which negro children, who are natural
lied citizens of some foreign county,
might be forced into the white schools
Of the South. Such issues are purely
local The state should be the arbiter.
The solution of the problem should
have been left to California-for it
vas her own.

SOUTHERN TIMBER.

While President-elect Taft is as
siduously engaging III the pastime of
selecting his cabinet, incidentally
blighting the hopes of many of the
original Taft men," he should not
forget that number OF al
legged Southern Democrats are look
ing longingly towards the pie counter
and are hoping that something will
fall their way. The hopes of the ma
jority of these applicants is evidently
based on the premise that Mr.. Taft is
anxious to pacify the South without
hazarding the enmity of the North.
In some quarters it is believed that
he can solve this tWeedle dunn, tweedle
dee business by naming one or two
Southerners who claim the distinction
of being Democrats but who stand
largely for things Republican. Gen.
eral Luke Wright is shining example
of a Southern Democrat who's warm
ness for the party tenets Luked con-
siderably upon his appointment to a
place of honor in the Philippines.
There are others who have almost

The effectiveness of the law is in its

OF heavy penalties, nor the enactment
of stringent provisions that inspires
the public with respect for a given

every time an offense is committed

his ambition and leave Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Hitchcock to fill his place as best
they can. The facts in the case are
clear. He was elected In 1906 for a
six year term. He voted to raise the
salary OF Robert Bacon, whom he is
designed to succeed in office. 1t is a

That Burbage story appearing In the

some more denouncing. According to

Today, floor leader of the majority in

shall, of Bradley, have given 1t the lie
direct.
When the prominence and reputa-
tion of these gentlemen is considered,
and due allowance is made for the
character of the newspaper in which
the alleged interview appeared, there
is no room to doubt but that Mr..
Burbage was mixed in his facts or not
correctly quoted. If there was the
slightest foundation for Mr.. Burbage's
alleged statement 1t no doubt was due
TO the repeated charges made by the
liquor organ to the effect that coali-
ton had been formed for the passage
