Supreme Court Decision Against Bounty-Fed
Sugar Imports.

cd in the B0St03t IrugScy52d:
WASHINGTON. Sept. l9th.-The sugar fam
me might DO broken almost in the twinkIing
of an eve. did not American law and q de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the United
States stand in the way. Were Congress
IN session al the present moment President
Taft, the insurgents and their Democratic
allies and even the regulars might cover
themselves with glory by auspending for a
year the sixth section of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, which prevents the importation Of
sugar from Russia. Congress will not, how
ever, convene until December, md by that
time the famine may be practically over and
much lower prices prevail than are bound
to exist for the next two months or more.
From one point Of view, the professional
friends OF the people have the chance of
their lives to enact a little tariff legislation
that would directly affect prices. The facts
are striking. but the situation is peculiar
and complex. BY nc less than three differ
ent methods Congress might avert high
prices in sugar and save the people of the
United States perhaps millions Of dollars.
Unfortunately, however, action must be tax
en- Instantly or little if anything can be
done.
RELIEF LIES In RUSSIA.
The possibility of relief lies in the sur
plus sugar stock OF distant Russia, which
cuItivates more beets that any other coun-
try in the world aud is the second largest
sugar producer. But ever since Lyman J.
Gage was Secretary of the Treasury i'll the
second Mckinley Cabinet, Russian sugar has
been barred from the United States, because

Apple Trees Tor Old AGE.

Fasteners are prone to view with
surprise the large-sized fruit which
comes from western states, and even
to wonder why similar orchard prod
ucts cannot be raised in New Eng
land. Their wonderment should cease
Our farms can produce luscious fruit
in abundance with proper effort, says
the Boston Globe. A speaker at the
New England fruit exhibition in Hor.
ticultural hall has said that there is
no better insurance against old age
than a good orchard. After a certain
rumber Of years ten acres Of an APP
pie orchard will be steady source Of
income. The same authority believes
that the ehortsightedness Of New Eng.
land farmer: is almost criminal for al.
lowing this source of wealth to 60 I'M
developed We have the soil. market
and climate. and should take advan-
tage of these great assets.

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Dec. H. Congress Is
being flooded with urgent requests
from labor organizations and other or
CARNATIONS to make large reductions
on the poor mans butter" that 10, on
Cleomargarine. A powerful movement
has been begun for the reduction Of
the oleomargarine tax and 1t Is de-
Clared by members of congress who
have been following the matter close
ly that the reduction ia likely to be
made.
For several sessions. this campaign
has been going on to reduce the oleo-
margarine tax. 1t has been we'll or
ganized. Powerful interests are sup
porting the movement. The packers
are for It. and the growers of cotton
are for it. because 1t would open
way to use of much cotton oil II the
tax were lowered.
Fought BY Dairy Interests.
For years. the dairy interests of the
country have been fighting to keep the
oleo tax from. being reduced. When
Jim" Tawney was in the house he OPP
posed reducing the oleo tax most Wig
orously. He came from a district
where the dairy interests are large and
it was not bad politics to be known as
the champion Of the dairy interests.
Just who will take the lead In the
struggle to keep the tax from being
lowered on cleo is not yet clear But
there will be a battle royal over it:
dairy interests are alarmed and will
do their utmost to keep the tax from
being lowered. But men in congress
friendly to the dairy interests say they
arc not encouraged over the outlook.
The house committee on agriculture
has taken the question up. 1t has be-
fore it the Burleson bill and one or two
other bills.
Due for Big Clash.
A sub committee will work out bill
which will probably be close to the
margarine now is 10 cents per pound.
On uncolored, 1t is only fourth Of a
cent. It is the colored cleo. however.
which is competitor of butter. The
indications are the tax will be cut
down to about cents a pound on all
forms of cleo. This would enable the
makers of cleo to compete with the
makers Of real butter and probably
make large inroads in the butter bust
ness III view OF the high prices Of but
ter.
It is said there is little question that
q bill will pass the house cutting down
the tax on cleo. Whether 1t will go
thru the senate Is more doubtful but
the members Of congress who have
dairy interests in their districts say
they believe 1t will. In other words.
they fear they have STAYED off reduc-
ton OF the tax on the poor mans
butter" about as long as they can.

upon the notion of using fashion pa

proved so successful that now she
