DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
FOR FREE SUGAR RlLL
Expected to Rsduee Price of Sugar
One and One. Half Cent Pound.

Washington, March Ia bill to put
sugar on the free list, abolishing t53,-
100000 in annual customs revenue, and
another to extend the present corpora
tion tax to include individuals and
co-partnerships doing business Of
$4,000 a year or over were ratified
tonight by the house democratic eau
Gus.
The excise tax, o-called by the ways
and means committee. is in effect an
income tax. The bill is SO drawn that
ii is expected TO comply with the su-
preme courts decision against The con-
stitutiOnahty Of sn inc ONE tax. It's
effect would he to tax every person
who earns more than $1,000 a year on
the excess OF $1,000 at the rate Of one
per cent.
The estimate by Chairman Under
wood and the other members of the
ways and mears committee is that the
proposed excise tax would bring in a
revenue OF between $5O.0cO, 900 and
s6c.0a0. 900 a year.
Placing sugar on the free LIST, tbe
democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price Of sugar TO the consum-
er ABOUT cent and a half a pound.

SAYS MOTHER is NOT
NECESSARY TO CHILD.
Remarkable Declaration by Justice in
Supreme Court at Brooklyn.

New York, March IA child has
no essential need of mother love, de-
clared Justice .Marean in the supreme
court Brooklyn, today, in giving a
father the custody of his nine year
old son, despite the mothers pleadings.
"A mother IS not necessary to her
child" remarked the court. All child
rem are selfish. Their minds are on
their own pleasures. So long as they
have their toys and their enjoyments,
they are satisfied. Once away from
the mother they very quickly forget
her. She affects their lives only as
she can serve them. They grow just
as well without her.
The y0ungster whose plight called
forth these sentiments is Leroy H.
Thompson. whose father. William =.
Thompson. owner of the Ardencraig
Inn, at Port Jefferson, L. l., divorced
his wife in 1907.
Justice Marean was asked to decide
the question of the wifes right to see
the boy at the times specified in the
divorce decree. The lad said he pre-
ferred 10 remain with his father, and
the latter declared that the visits OF
| his erstwhile wife, who has remarked
| had proved embarrassing and annoy
ing to Leroy. Thompson, too, has re-
married.
/ Justice Marean said that he deemed
it best to give the father sole custody
| of the lad

that the feeling is not quite gone yet
IN quarters deserving respectful con-
sideration, but a brand new edict has

Under the new regime the judges
