60 cause any raise OF price IN that
product However. should the war
continue for six months or more. the
price would probably 60 up. Ger.
many, Austria and Russia are great
sugar-beet producing countries, and
should the crops be left to 60 to waste
in the fields through the absence Of
the laborers who harvest them, there
would no doubt be greater demand
FOR cane sugar. and especially from
the Hawaiian Islands.
The beet crops in the three couIl.
tries mentioned, will be harvested DUR
ing the middle OF next month. and
another crop will not be planted un-
Eli next April, and between the time
when the crop Is taken on and when q
new one is planted would give these
nations plenty OF time for their war
fare, which would probably not last
that long. Besides, the greater part
Of the labor in the fields is done by
the women and should the men be
called away to a war like the one
which is rumored, these crops would
still be gotten of and . new one
planted. 1t is therefore doubtful as
to whether the war would affect the.
sugar interests.
"If Japan becomes involved it will
be very serious thing for Hawaii.
Large numbers Of Japanese would go
home and II would be impossible to
replace them on the plantations, said
Harry Armitage.

hat. However, have just had GU
fious theory stated to me by q client
He figures that war would cause q
large increase Of exports of fo0dstufts
from the United States This would
increase the cost Of living in the
United States. with the result that
there would be an irrepressibse de-
8mand for free sugar.

fion ii very sudden, as the girl said.
Il suppose war would affect the Euro
pean labor market and thus prevent
us getting any more labor from that
quarter / found in California the
great trouble was labor. The whole
world is looking for labor not only
Hawaii. So far as the price Of sugar
Is concerned, | rather think war
would chrtaiI the consumption Of SUI
gar.
Cecil Brown said that he believes
d European war will not hurt us any.
st would certainly make the market
better for our sugar, owing TO the
withdrawal Of labor from the Euro
1ean beet sugar industry or course,
Il would ditch our European inmigra-
ion scheme. II Japan got into war
It would affect our sugar industry
more. Two4thirds Of the Japanese la
Dor on our plantations belong to the
Japanese army reserve corps.
Il have really not given much
thought to the matter One thing
hat occurs1tO me Is that England is
one Of the largest sugar consuming
countries. said i F.. Hackfeld. She
obtains b great portion or ner sup
plies from Continental Europe, and IN

The citizens mass meeting call {
by the Payette Commercial Club tc
discuss taxation matters on wed
nesday evening was well attended
axes were discussed, cussed ano
not shots were taken at the beard
of education of District No. 81, at
the city council and the meeting as
usual with mass meetings savcred OF
much random talk and resolutions
were endorsed calling for less expen-
diture of the public money.
The expression given by several

In defense of the actions of the
board of education in making the
levy for this year Supt Turner
gave a few figures which tended to
change the feeling somewhat IN
1911 there was raised in District No.
32 $23 700, the levy that year was
originally made for SIT 900 but at the
request of several leading tax payers
the board had reduced it to s2S, ,u0O
with the result that a deficit OF
S3,906 was encountered at the end
of the Year. The valuation of the
district is s2,S62,945 forty per cent
of this gives s1,145,177 on which the
twenty mill levy will raise approxi-
mately s22,sO3, adding to this the
five mills received from the state

1. R. Woodward, President of the
council gave statistics explaining

he increase in city taxes for this
ear Were largely due to the il
reased bonded Indebtedness of TIE

Most of those attending the meet

ose of receiving information and
riticisms were offered by but three

The comparative statement given
f the levy in other cities in Can
on County showed that Payette has
lower levy than many other cities
the same size.

onclusion as to the real reason for

onsequence a committee of three
