WILL RAISE PRICE
OF SUGAR BETS
THE BELIEF OF CANADIAN GROW
ERS REGARDING THE Reel
PROCITY PACT.
SOME DOUBT WHETHER PRO-
DUCT WILL BE ADMITTED FREE.
The Question Is Very important to
the Beet Sugar Companies Of
Canada as Well as to
Michigan.

Canadian beet sugar companies are
unable TO learn whether sugar beets
will be on the free list if the proposed
reciprocity bill between Canada and
the United States becomes law
American Consul Fred Slater, located
in Sarnia, on request, given his opin'
ion to the Canadian sugar companies
although he states that his opinion
is without authority.
Mr.. Slater believes that beets will
be on the free list under the pro-
posed pact, and the companies will
ask for an opinion from the Canadian
government, while Mr.. Slater will also
seek information on the question
from Washington authorities.
Under the tariff law of 1897, which
will continue in force, providing it
does not conflict with the compact,
the tariff on sugar beets is 25 per
cetn ad valorem. At the time the
present tariff law went into effect
there was considerable misunder-
standing over the question whether
beets We're on the free list. At that
time the government handed down an
opinion, to the effect that sugar beets
were classed under the list of vege-
tables and that they should be taxed
the regular rate.
1t was the contention of the sugar
companies at the time that beets,
not having been specifically mention
ed in the vegetable list, should come
under the schedule containing MOSES,
roots, etc.
Under the proposed pact, vegeta-
h1pc n1Qpnh tho frnn lief AL
though sugar beets are not speciiical-
ly mentioned, yet it includes ''all
other vegetables in their natural state
not here mentioned At the time OF
the question over the first tariff beets
were not used to a large extent for
sugar purposes, but were for feeding
purposes. 1t is thought that this may
make a difference at the present time,
because nearly all the beets are used
in the manufacture Of sugar, which
consumes much labor, while previous
ly the only change made to the beets
was topping and washing.
The question is important to the
beet sugar companies of Canada as
well as to Michigan. If beets are on
the free list il will mean much more
competition for the companies. Es-
pecially is this true of the Canadian
companies where the price paid is not
as high as in Michigan. Whether the
fact that beets are cheaper in Can
ada will increase the price because
of the competition or whether it will
decrease the price in the states, is a
question which cannot be settled until
it has been worked out. The Cana
dian farmer believes that it will in
crease the price, without affecting the
price of beets in the states.
