NEW YORK, October Whatever
its derelietions in the past, which it
must still live down, there is excellent
basis for the statement that the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company-more
popularity known as the sugar trust
has determined to completely clean its
slate and start anew. In this il is sim
ply showing an intelligent apprecia
ton of the signs of the times.
1t enters upon its new policy with
new officers, new directors, new eoun-
sell new management, Its business will
in the future be that of buying and
refining raw sugar and selling its
product with the best results that econ.
omy of operation and the best Of mer-
chandising ability can secure. Its af-
fairs are to be conducted in the light
of broadcast publicity and all sem
blance of former trust methods is to
be studiously avoided,
This, IN brief, was the information
gathered in the course of an interview
/ that representative of the Journal
| of Commerce obtained with Mr.. Edwin
/ F. Atkins, of Boston, the new vice
president. Mr.. Atkins, it will be re-
called, has succeeded George Westing-
house as president of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
and is a New England capitalist of
wide influence.
! Mr.. Atkins had no words of criticism
for the old management. What he and
! his colleagues were looking to, he said,
was the future, and THE future policy
would be that of a lawablding corpo-
ration in every respect. If the form
of organization were in any way in
contravention of law the directors
would without moment S delay fake
steps to have the proper adjustment
made. The best legal opinion they had
been able to secure assured them that
the organization was entirely within
the law, but the directors would be
very prompt to comply with any ruling
of the court
There has been such gradual change
going on in the management of the
American Sugar Refining Company that
the completeness of the movement has
i probably not thus far been adequately
appreciated. The directorate as consti.
ituted at present shows that not more
than three of the old regime remain
namely, w. B. Thomas, who is now
president, George H. Frazier, of Phila
Nelp0la, ana Arthur DOuhtls MI OOu
ner, 1T is understood, will not permit
his name to come up for reelection.
All the large holdings, it is under
stood, have been distributed. A com
pilation from the company's records a;
of October l shows that the company
is overwhelmingly held by New Eng
land Thus, on October l, there were
no less than 1915 stockholders-ar
increase of n from the total at the
beginning of the year. OF the 1917;
stockholders more than 5000 are fe
male, and their holdings are fully 81
per cent of the total.
Furthermore, rs per cent of the total
number of stockholders are residents
of New England and hold SO per cent
of the total stock, making the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, as con
stituted today, practically New Eng
land concern. The average holdings Of
all stockholders are less than fifty
shares

THE CASE OF THE
UNIVERSAL swEBTENER.

% The duty upon sugar has given much
offense TO the advocates of free trade
or of severe tariff reduction, writes
Charles Heber Clark, in the Saturday
Evening Post What justification is
there for continued imposition of that
duty7
1t was laid not only for the sake of
obtaining needed revenue but also for
the purpose of promoting the produc
ton of beetroot sugar in this country.
Many European countries now give
bounties directly to the growers and
manipulators of that sugar beet for
which the world is indebted to the in.
telligence of the first Napoleon.
The question for Us was: Should the
farmers directly, and the people gem
orally, have the benefit of the develop
ment of the industry in the United
States2 Clearly il could not live and
grow in open competition with the
bounty-fed sugar of Europe.
A duty was imposed in the seventies,
with the result that now we produce at
hoheJ ahnually, Deet sugar TO the value
of nearly fifty million dollars Thus
the farmers had new and profitable
crop, and the nation came nearer to in.
dependence in an important food article
Before the Civil War; disregard
war prices as unnaturally infated-or.
binary household sugar cost, say, S
cents at retail Now a better sugar
may be bought for 1-2 cents a pound.
Some day we shall grow all of our SUI
gar supplies. Why not, if we would
deal fairly with the subject, instead of
seoffing at the small saving to each per
son made possible by the recent reduc-
tion of the sugar duty, look at the mat
ter in this way:
The difference between cents a
pound and Sig cents is 21.2 cents.
What is the worth to the nation of a
saving of 2 1-2 cents a pound on all the
sugar consumed by 9O,OO0,0OO of the
most prosperous people on earth9 Beet
sugar made that reduction in the price.
We're there now as in the old time notTs
ing but sugar from the cane, the price
not unlikely would be 10 cents and, per.
haps, 20 cents.

is to be done are the side lines of the
original dredging, a line connecting
beacOns Nos. D and 6, and line drawn
from the triangulation station light
house on Sand Island to the south dol
phin of the marine railway. The esti-
mated amount of material to be re-
moved is 10000 cubic yards, but this
quantity may vary within wide limits.
The material to be removed consists
largely of sand, some mud and silt, and
possibly gravel and pieces of broken
coral. The eXcavated material is to
be deposited partly on the Fort Arm

kulSui Point and partly on Sand Island,
$4,000 yards going to the former.
North End of Harbor.
The work at the north end of the
harbor consist of going to a depth of
thirty-fve feet. The amount available
for payment for the work in the upper
end of the harbor is approximately
$125,O0O. The amount available for the
channel is about $4,000.
NJ. A. II. Conner, representative of
the Standard American company, ar.
rived; on the Wilhelmina on Tuesday
and was present yesterday when the
bids were opened He stated that two
of the dredgers of their equipmen;
would be the South Bay and the Tur'
bine. The latter is being fitted with
machinery in the harbor at present, and
is supposed to be for work at Pear

THE SUGAR WAR.

The announcement that Claus A.
Spreekels is TO build an independent
sugar refinery at some point on San
Francisco Bay will please everybody
net directly concerned in the prosperity
of the sugar trust.
The long, oppressive and corrupt ca
Teer of the sugar trust has been unre-
deemed by any act of public spirit or
generosity whereby some portion of It's
plumber has been returned to society
Human nature being wnat it is, even
those who do not particularly care what
they pay for the small quantity of sugar
which they use will rejoice at any pros
Pect of misfortune TO the hated institu
ton.
Of course, the eastern branch of the
trust is now under the control of new
men, supposed to be personally innocent
as to sugar trust transactions of the
past They strongly intimate thai
hencefOrth the sugar company is to b,
classed among the good trusts.
1t has not, however, shown repent
anee by any breach of the agreemen
whereby the western branch of the con
eern IS enabled to eXtort half cen
more on each pound of sugar refined
than is taken by the eastern brancl
for sugar refined from the same raw
material that is refined on this Coast.
very important share of our sugar
comes from the Hawaiian Islands and
pays no duty whatever, 1t is self.evi
dent that il costs less to deliver that
sugar to this port than to deliver it il
New York, whether by Tehuantepec Of
the Straits of Magellan.
And yet the western branch has al
ways extorted from its tributary terri
tory one-half cent a pound more thar
is paid in eastern cities
This can only be possible by reason
of some agreement whose text has never
been made public, whereby each brancl
of the trust refrains from INVADING
the territory sacred to the other.
How quickly competition would re
dUee prices was shown when the Fed
eTal Sugar Company shipped a singl
cargo 10 this port.
Active competition, considering on
nearness 10 Hawaii, should mcke T,
duction OF much more than half a ceI
a pound.
Hitherto independent sugar r
fneries have either been sooner or lat,
absorbed by the sugar trust, or hay
reached an amieable working agreemeI
with il.
Let ms hope that this new compel
tion may not come to an end in II
same old way.-Chr onicle.

ments published in another column re-
mark on the fact that the beet IS
indigenous to more soils and climates
than is the cane and is possible of a
wider growth which apparently it has
not yet attained. On the other hand,
the small area which the map devotes
to the beet, Is reported as yielding a
greater crop than the larger area given
over to cane.
Providing that the beet is planted
where experiments shows it to grow
hardly the crop would increase enor-
mously.
The beet sugar map here reproduced
devotes but a small part of the United
States to it's growth and that in Colo
RADIO with an estimated crop of 344,O00
tons of 2240 pounds. Since the map
was prepared the beet has been intro
duced into Texas and the Southwest gen
orally, not to speak of California where
they grow anything out of pure jeal-
ousy.
