a HOld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses.
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which is 'the most monstrous i'm.
position in the history Of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is q coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, Ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consum.
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine.
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for.
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con:
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy?-Seanh PostIn.

In approaching It's task II has divided
the work into five fields of inquiry hav-
Ing to do respectively with organization,

and reporting, and the budget
Comprehensive Plan Of Organization
On organization the commission has en-
tered upon the preparation OF three series
Of reports. The first series deals with
the manner IN which the services OF the
government should hc grouped In depart
mcnts. This IL n matter of fundamental
Importance. II is only after "A satisfac,
tory solution OF this problem that many

The second and third series OF reports
deal, respectively. with the organization

ance of particular business operations
one OF the reports of the second Sc
ri's Is upon the revenue cutter service,
which costs the government over two and
half million dollars each year. In the
opinion of the commission its varied ac-
uNitics can be performed with equal or
greater. advantage bY other services
The commission, therefore. recommends
that II bc abolished, II Is estimated that
by so doing a saving OF not less than 81,

In every case where technical pro-

onstrated beyond question that large eco
Monies may be effected. The subjects
first approached were those which lie
close To each administrator. viz, office
practices. An illustration of the possi-
bilItl"s within this field may be found in
the results of the inquiry into the meth
nds of handling and tlling correspondence
Every office in tn" government has re-
ported its methods to the commission.

that present methods were quite In he

two years Of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from tho

tremendous increase in the sale OF Postum
In like period Of time.
While the sales OF Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll.

very likely due to public awakening to
the oppression of the coffee trust.

The United States is the only great ma
ton whose government Is operated with
out budget This fact seems to be more
striking when It is considered that bud
gets and budget procedures are the out
growth of democratic doctrines and have
had an important part In the development
of modern constitutional rights. The
American commonwealth has suffered
much from responsibility on the part OF
Its governing agencies. The constitution

ernment responsive to public opinion and
