SUGAR: ANOPPORTUNITY FOR
REAL REVISION. NO. XXVII.

There has been, in this business Of
sugar tariff making, vast deal Of un-

can people When the Hawaiian
Islands came into the union it requir-
ed some education and much discus
sion; but in the end the argument of
doing the fair thing" by this, our
first acquisition OF little brown broth
ers, won the day Hawaiian sugar
was given free admission 10 our ports.
1t was going TO be great thing for
Hawaii. The people would prosper
handsomely; they would rise up and
call Us blessed; and incidentally we
would get sugar cheaper.
How did it work!
The Sugar trust completely controls

ASK NO BONUS.
Contractors for Electric Railway
Only Want Mexico to Buy
Bonds.

That was an enthusiastic rail
road meeting at the court hous,
last Friday night. Prof. j. w
Million was elected chairman ant
|. T. McCue secretary.
j. j. Burnes, representing
Burnes & Co. of Chicago, electric
railway builders, was present and
gave in full detail his plans for
building the road, in the two di-
rectiOns from Mexico, one toward
Santa Fe and Perry and the other
ward Hereford, Columbia and
Fulton.
Not cent of bonus money IL
asked. Mexico is asked to buy
$4,000 worth of bonds and will
get the power house and terminal.
etc. People along the line outside
of Mexico will be expected to buy
$1,000 worth of bonds to the mile.
Burns & Co. will put in $4,000
per mile. 1t is considered that the
road can be built for $4,000. per
mile, and the road is not to be
mortgaged above that sum. The
road remains the property of the
present stockholders.
G. F. Clark, George Robertson
and others made speeches favor

plan. c. C. Heller, w. L. Grad

A motion was carried favOring
the appointment of a general
soliciting committee, and s. p.
EmmOns was elected chairman
with the following other members:
c. F. Clark, Charles Lewis. A. c..
Barnes and Theo. Williams. This
committee met and organized for
work the following morning.
Referring to this bond issue a
director of the electric road Is
quoted as saying:
"In view of the limited bond
ed Indebtedness, which is $4,000
per mile, local financiers favor
the project and a certain amount
Of skepticism regarding the good
faith of the contractors is thus,
eliminated. The Chicago & Alton
railroad is bonded for $4,000
per mile. If the plans suggested
by promoters and financiers con.
suited by the officers of the Mex
leo, Santa Fe and Perry Traction
Co. had been pursued, the bonded
Indebtedness of this road would
not have been less than $25. 900
per mile and perhaps more.
Burns and Company are not
promoters, They are builders of
electric roads and the cost of con
will be covered in this
instance by the bond issue"
