of this Commonwealth. In 1909-fO
the excise collected was e54S,71S,
and the amount of bounty and ex-
penses would total $751; 1873, leaving
the net revenue at G97,425. This tax
as it AFFECTS the fruit grower is a very
serious matter, for, as pointed out in
the interview published yesterday, It
ieqGires one Ton of sugar to convert
one ton of fruit into jam, and as a
fair crop of apricots, peaches, ounces
or plums is five tons to the acre, the
tax on the orchardist is no less than
ESQ per acre, or just about the equiv
alent of the gross proceeds of his pro
duce from that acre. 1t is further
contended that there are about the
same number of people-3O,0 00-em-
plOyed in the fruit growing industries
and jam factories as there are in the
sugar fields and mills. In this
connection it is interesting to remem-
Der that the consumption of sugar
per capita in the Commonwealth isl
113 pounds, the United Kingdom
coming next with 1O2 pounds per cap
tia per annum. Sugar was advanced
in price this morning 81 per ton, and
the present cost must be infinitely

other British community

place it on an equitable and sound
footing. The bounty of G3 per ton
was in the first instance Iegislated
for for a period that has already
passed, but it's continuance is in some
quarters now regarded as insufficient
and a further increase to ga per ton
is being sought by a deputation OF
growers which is on it's way to inter
view the minister in Melbourne, as
well as an increase in the present
import duty of sc per ton. On the
other hand, the fruit growers and
manufacturers are asking for the
sugar so that their industries can pro-
coed and develop on natural lines,
and without help or hindrance, sug-
costing at the same time that the
production of sugar by white labor
is national ideal, and that its cost
should be borne in a national way,
instead of falling so heavily on, and .

Office a year ago, was the only wit
ness at the forenoon session of the
trial of Ben Marks, the alleged CO.
worker with J. c. Mabray, whose
swindling operations are said TO have
claimed victims from all parts of the
country. Richmond made a general
denial of the assertions of Mabray on
the witness stand that the police de-
partment had been paid, through
Marks, for noninterference with the
operations of the "swindle syndicate"

conducting the prosecution, on cross
examination went into the official rec

Government Wins Point.
Attorneys John Barton Payne and
John S. Miller representing the defend
ants argued that the evidence of the
operations of the subsidiary companies
used to market certain by-products
should be excluded for the reason that
it tended to prove a crime not charged
in the Indictment. They declared the
pany had no connection with the uni
form system of figuring the test cost
of the animal slaughtered.

This evidence is material to prove the

by the defense at this time regarding
the details of our proof. If in pursu-

Special Counsel Butler said the gov

and the business of marketing the cleo

Carpenter reserved his decision until

He admitted that the Swift Company

of the combination. This concluded the
