(by Z. n. TaVenner.)
The sugar industry in the United
States, according to the wall going up
from protectionists, will be ruined"
by the bill removing the tax from su-
gar, reducing the price to the con
sumer approximately two cents
pound. This, then. will be the fourth
time the industry will have been
ruined" according to protectionists

The standpatters said the industry
would be ruined when Porto Rico SUI

admitted at a reduced import tax.

Where Underwood Stands.
Chairman Underwood Of the ways
and means committee was interrupts
ed in his speech against the sugar tax
by Louisiana member who inquired |
Of Mr.. Underwood what he anticipate
ed would happen to the sugar indus
try in Louisiana II the tax was remov-
ed from sugar Mr.. Underwood re-
piled frankly that he did not know
what would happen to the sugar indus
try of that state. but hoped it would
survive, as it had done on previous
occasions. He added there was one
thing he did know, however and that
was that the total production of su-
gar in Louisiana was less than one
tenth Of the entire sugar consumption
Of the United States, and that he did
not believe in the principle Of taxing
920OO,0O0 American citizens in order
that a comparative few sugar produc.
ers might make an extra profit.

the Titanic's dead say there is every
reason to believe that few il any of the
Titanics dead met death by drowning.
Those who went down with the ship

terrific pressure of the water in the

picked up by the Mackay-Bennett in
almost every case died from exposure.

/ FA|R PROPOSITION
The Ceunfy Board VIII Help the OcaIa
District and the City to Erect
TAarty-Thsusand Dollar High
Seheel BuiIdinx

At the meeting of the county board
of public instruction yesterday, the
matter Of new high school house for
Ocala was carefully considered. and the
board made the following proposition:
II the citizens OF Ocala will raise
10000, and the Ocala sub-schooI dis
trict will raise an additional $4,000, the
school board will contribute as much
that Is, $15,000-to erect a thirty
thousand-dollar, up-to-date building
for the high school
Considering the condition of the
county finances. this seems to the Star
to be fair proposition.
Some months ago, one of the Ocala
churches raised about $4,000. for a
college in a distant city-a college
that Is not attended by more than a
score OF Marion county students a
year. II one church could do this
much for school abroad, It seems like
the members Of all six. aided by the
Jews, the unredeemed sinners and the
inidels. should be able to raise &c.
900 for a schoolhouse for their own
boys and girls as easily as falling off a
log.
