GEORGIAN HITS SUGAR TRUST
In Tariff Speech He Urges Material

Washington, May 2o.-Declaring
that Joseph F. Smith, the head
of the Mormon church, every
year fixes the price of beets in the in
terest of the beet sugar factories of
Utah rather than in favor of the pro.
ducers of beets. Senator Clay in the
senate. called forth characterization
of his statement as " absolutely un.
true" by Senator Smoot. himself an
official. Of the Mormon church. .Sena-
tor Clay declared that MIR. Smith. as
president of the beet sugar factories
of Utah. received 100000 annual sal.
airy. Gle is always in favor of the
factories and against the growers"
said Senator Clay.
Senator Clay declared that votes al.
ready taken in the senate demonstrate
ing that the finance committee had
full power to obtain agreement on It's
tariff bill as reported. he favored an
early vote on the bill as delay was
useless in affecting the rates carried
by that measure.

refined sugar. Senator Clay of Georgia
had discussed at great length the
various phases of the beet and cane
sugar industries. He argued that the
consumer is Disseminated against in
favor of the American Sugar Refining
Company and that the sugar grower
gets no benefit of the differential be-
tween the duties on raw and refined
sugar. He criticised most severely
the manner in which the sugar sched-

ing sugar. Senator Clay declared that
the. duty on refined sugar almost pro.
hibits the importation of foreign sugar
into this country.
Must Sell to Trust.
He said that the beet grower and
the cane grower of sugar both are
compelled to sell to the sugar trust at
the price, which it fixes. Comparing
the wholesale price of graduated
sugar in Hamburg and in New York,
which, he said, was 231 cent per
pound cheaper in Hamburg, Senator
Clay figured that the American con,
sut,er pays a difference of $780,, O0O, 900
for its refined sugar. OF this, he said,
the government gets $53,O0O,OOO in
customs Duties while, he said, the
sugar trust gets the other $4,000, 900.
Have Paid Great Profit. =.
"The American consumers of sugar
have paid to the American Sugar Re-
filming Company. commonly called the
sugar trust at least $55 900 900 per
year in profit" said Senator Clay,
amounting in u years to $500, O0O, 900.
The American people are not aware
of the fact that If the sugar we i'm
port came into this country free: of
duty, both raw and refined, the cost
of sugar to the American consumer
would be reduced nearly one-half l
am not insisting that both refined and
i, raw. or either, should come to this
country free OF. duty. but there ought
to be substantial reduction over the
rates fixed in the Dingley law"

State LEGISLATOR, Governor Three Times, United
States Senator, All In Twenty-one Years.
A Looming Figure In National Politics

u F Senator Aldrich were asked who
gave him the most concern in his
management of the tariff bin he
would probably name Albert
Baird Cummins the new United States
senator from Iowa The man who
stands for the Iowa idea" has one
characteristic that has brought him
where he is-he never shows it when
he is hit. He has had that trait
ever since he went into the political
game. This might be construed as in
dicating secretiveness. There is moth
ing of that kind in Senator Cummins
Quite to the contrary. he IS noted for
frankness and independence Such
men are apt to be brusque- Not SO
Cummins He is always suave- He is
tactfuI in spite of his Independence
And his wife is one of the cleverest
women of the country. This IS q
strone combination in politics.; but.
aside from his faithful and able as
sfstant. the fact remains that Senator
Cummins Il one of the most interest
ing figures in the political game, and
he would be forceful If he stood alone.
Iowa is as safely and surely Repub-
Iican as Texas is certainly Democratic.
While other states regarded as Repub-
lican have wavered and taken the OPP
posite chute quite often and some
times unexpectedly, Iowa has been the
western citadel of the Republican
party. It did once break the rule, be-
cause it yoked up with an untried is
sue-prohibition. Then Summins, a
young man in the state. one who had
been a surveyor. civil engineer, rail-
road messenger in Pennsylvania and
LAWYER afterward in Chicago, drifting
from the latter place to Iowa, told ms
party that prohibition in Iowa would
not work The state went Democratic
lust as Cummins said 1t would. 1t was
a new departure in Iowa Cummlns
did not have enough influence IN ms
party to be nominated for an ONCE. 50
he announced himself as an independ-
ent candidate for the legislature. and
he was elected The first thing he did
was to prepare some sort of legislation
that would rid the state of its prohi-
bition laws An Independent didn't
have much standing in Iowa in those
DAYS. but Cummins stuck to his con-
tention The state returned TO the Re-
publican column. Cummins got the
credit for IL. and it is the general opin-
ION that he deserved it.
The Fight For Gears Toga.
There was a man in Iowa some years
ago who had been the pillar of the Re-
publican party in all of its contests,
from a crossroads meeting to ma
tional convention. His name was John
Henry Gear. He was the grand old
man" of his party in Iowa. He was
governor until he got tired of the job,
and then they sent him to the United
States senate. and he remained there
until he died Nevertheless, reckoning
as the life insurance agents reckon, the
eold mans" time was nearly up. and
