TO DISCUSS SOCIAL
CENTER IDEA.

Madison, Wis, lOct. 25.--With an
opening address by Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey On THE
Need of Citizenship Organization" the
most notable conference ever held in
America to consider the problems OF
the social center movement gets under
way here tonight for a three days
session. Hundreds of delegates ar
rived today to take part in the confer
ence, which meets under the joint
auspices of the extension department
of the University of Wisconsin and
the Social Center Association of Amer
lea
The proceedings are certain to at
tract widespread attention, II for no
other reason than that the conference
is the first national gathering ever
held for the purpose of furthering the
social center movement. If the hopes
of those interested in the movement
are fulfilled the near future will see
every schoolhouse in the country made
public meeting place for non-parti-
san gatherings of citizens for the
presentation and discussion of public
questions and for other social, civic
or recreational activities.

Its next session. The importers have
little faith in the ability of congress
to do anything, as they realize that a
protest against a foreign monopoly
would come with poor grace from this
country.
The coffee trust is Brazilian gov
eminent scheme, but was organized
with foreign capital, j. p. Morgan &
Co., the National City Bank and the
First National Bank being among the
financial concerns which backed the
government monopoly The Roths-
childs and French. German and Bel
gian financial institutions are also
represented.
1t is estimated that the trust has re-
suited in making the people of the
United States pay about $40,00O,OOO
more per year for their coffee. The
increase has been greatest on the
cheaper grades of coffee consumed
largely BY poor people.
Another fact developed by recent
investigations into the operations OF
the trust is that coffee Is sold much
cheaper in Europe than in. this coun-
try. Especially is this true Of Eng
land, where low prices have prevailed
In the hope of inducing the Britishers
to abandon tea for the Brazilian bev-
erage 1t Is alleged that the coffee
retailing in this country for 80 cents
is sold in England for 80 cents, and
that both jobbers and retailers make
much higher percentage of profit
than those of the United States.

COFFEE TRUST BOOSTS PRICES

New York, Oct. 25-New York cot
fee importers have called meeting
for tonight to discuss ways and means
OF fighting the Brazilian coffee trust.
Within the last ten days the price OF
coffee has scared to the highest fig
ures known here In fifteen years, and
reports from Brazil indicate that the
quotations may go even higher Re-
ports of unfavorable weather for both
the present and the coming crops have
been received from Rio de Janeiro,
but many importers believe this is a
mere subterfuge for further 'gouging'
by the trust.
The meeting this evening will be
OF an alarmist nature. The roasters OF
proprietary brands of coffee are espe-
cially hard hit, as they must either
reduce the quality, boost the price to
the retailer or conduct business at a
loss. Most of the package coffees have
long been sold at an established retail
price, ranging from % to 40 cents, and
consumers have been SO long accus-
toned to the price that a raise would
certainly be resented. The retailer
will not consent to lessening of his
profits. so the roasters are up against
It."
Another alarming feature OF tho
raise in the price of coffee is thai con-
sumption of the beverage in The Unit
ed States has fallen off to remark
able extent during the last few
months. Whether consumers are
swearing off" drinking less coffee or
flirting with cereal substitutes is not
known, but the decrease In coffee
drinking is noticeable all over the
country
Last year the people of this country
consumed about 9Oo,0OO,O0O pounds OF
coffee at an average retail price of 20
cents. making the nations coffee bill
amount to about s225,OO0,OO0. OF all
the coffee imported, over four-ffths
came from Brazil. and no small part
of the remainder was really Brazilian
coffee that had been shipped to Mocha
10 gain, the Mocha label, and thence
transshipped to the United States.
The department of justice at Wash
ington has been investigating the Bra
lillian coffee trust and is expected to
make recommendation to congress at

America. Such, however. is not
the case. Germany has a con-
sumption tax to levy on sugar con-
sumed at home. and its annual to-
tai is $35. .1lS.40s. The German
sugar consumption per capita is
1928 pounds and the tax per caps
ita is 40 cents. This makes tax
per pound consumed of $0.0156.
In the United States our only sug-
ar tax is the amount of customs
duty. and this figures out s0.0Os4
per pound consumed, against the
German $0.0156. Our consumption
per capita is $3.50 pounds. ON which
the tax is SO cents. Multiply the
German tax per pound consumed by
s2.6. and the result shows that
where we pay a tax of SO cent
the German pays $1.29 on the same
quantity of sugar. This is why
the sugar item Is greater on the
German breakfast table than on
ours.
But when Germany exports sug-
ar. and she. as well as Russia.
Austria and France. has plenty on
hand to export. this tax does
not come into play. Once let down
our sugar tariff. and the American
market will be flooded with for
eign sugar that costs Less than
the raw American beet. This does
not mean that we will get our sug-
ar very much. II any. cheaper than
We do at present. Foreigners are
not going to quote us bottom prices
They will soak us for all the trade
will stand. and they have only un-
derbid our sugar factories by the
smallest fraction of a cent to con-
troll our market. But II does mean
that our beet sugar Industry will
be wiped out at one blow. and that
800 100000 invested capital with

Colorado Firm Lands Advance
3O1. @ Per Cent

That farm lands in Colorado have
advanced 301.6 per cent in value
in the last decade is shown by
the report of the government CEN
sus bureau. The average value of
all farm land in the state is $26.s1
an acre, an increase of 1s1 per
cent in 10 years. The highest aver
age value outside of Denver is in
Mesa county. being s144.sl per
acre. Delta county comes next
with an average value Of $121.s2 an
acre. These figures include both
farming and fruit lands.
The total area of farm lands in
the state is 13.531.113 acres
against s.474.5ss in 1900. The in
crease is attributed to the de-
veIopment OF irrigation and the ap-
