FARGO, N. D., Feb. 27.-The action
of the Fargo board OF education IN
electing a e to Superintend-
! ent Hoover recently is said to have
flushed a do%uble-headed arrangement
that had been planned. According to
some Of those in the affair it Is claim
ed to serve only one more year, when
he intended to become a candidate for
state superintendent Of public in
struction. as Superintendent Taylor
would have served two terms by that
time.
With Hoover a candidate for a po-
litical office, it was planned by their
friends to make former Superintend.
ent of Public Instruction S%tockwell
superintendent Of the Fargo schools
to succeed Hoover.
Stockwell, since his retirement from
his state Office, has been secretary OF
some Of the Masonic bodies in N. ID.
Hoover Is the head Of one of the state
organizations and they have been in
| stituting and visiting lodges in the
state. This absence from the schools
was one of the Charges against HoOv-
err by his opponents, but it is said to
have been part of the Hoover-Stock-
well combination to secure a wider ac-
quaintance for Hoover over the state.
Just what effect the recent Internal
troubles here will have on the fll-
ture of the two men is not known.
Hoover is generally thought to be
we'll equipped for the position Of state
superintendent and would probably
make a strong candidate. It is prob

WHY SUGAR
is CHEAP ~ ss
Domestic COm-
petition Neces-
snry To X eep
Prices Down.

much smaller margin of profit
than for many years.
Is it strange that amid this fierce
and manifold competition the price
has dropped? Instead of being
dependent on Cuban sugar, we
have refused Cuban sugar beyond
a certain point and this surplus
has been compelled to find a mar
ket in England. For the first
time i'll the history of the nation
we have reached a point where
the greater part Of the sugar we
use is being produced under the
American flag. Scarcely more
than decade ago we were COM
PEELED to import 10 or rs per cent.
This gain in domestic production
has been great American achieve
ment of which the domestic pro-
ducer is justly proud.
So long as Cuban sugar, domes-
tic beet sugar, Louisiana sugar,
Hawaiian sugar, Porto Rican su-
gar and Philippine sugar are fight
ing for the American market, the
consumer is bound to got his pro-
duct at the lowest prices consist
ent with supply and demand. As
soon as the. tariff is cut below the
point where the domestic sugar
industry can develop in competi-
tion with Cuba, the market will
tend to fall into the clutches of
the big reGners on the Atlantic
Coast, who, after killing off do
nestle competition, can charge
the consumer what they will. And
aside from the excessive profits
the refiners may extort, any de-
crease in the domestic supply
which is now close to two million
tons-must inevitably be followed
by higher prices.
The sugar supply furnishes one
of our most complicated food prob
lens. The demands of the Amer
ican consumer are increasing at
the rate of two and a half billien
pounds a decade. Any radical
tariff cut that will cripple the
sources of supply will react against
the consumer.
Competitive sugar means low
price sugar. Free sugar means
monopoly sugar.

EDGAR WINS PRIZE

The causes for the present low
price of sugar constitute an irref-
utable argument against free sugar
or such radical reduction as to
cripple the domestic industry.
Not merely are they worthy of the
consideration of congress, but the
adjustment of a new sugar tariff
schedule without full considera-
ton of the facts involved is unfair
to the consumer as we'll ms the do
mestic producer.
The consumer has wondered why
sugar has been such striking ex-
ception to the general run of sky
rocketing food prices. He has
also wondered if cheap sugar has
come to stay.
Low price sugar, in fact, is not
the result of accident, or of design.
1t was predicted over a year ago
by Wallace P. Willett, of New
York, whom Mr.. Underwood has
described as the greatest sugar
statistical expert in this country.
Mr.. Willett, testifying before the
Hardwick committee. prophesied
that as soon as the production of
Cuban, Porto Rican, Hawaiian,
Philippine and domestic cane and
beet sugar reached point above
our requirements for consumption,
the United States would become
independent of world prices and
the consumer would get the cheap
est sugar ON earth. Mr.. Willett's
testimony before the committee
wound up with the conclusion that
the way to make sugar permanently
cheap was to increase the domes-
tic supply cs rapidly as possible. "
The condition predicted by Mr..
Willett has finally been realized
during the past few months. A
huge tonnage of sugar from the
beet raising states of the West,
from our insular territories and
from Louisiana poured ovor the
country and fought for market
with the bumper Cuban crop.
White beet sugar from Colorado
came into New York City and its
appearance practically put the big
refiners out of business for time.
When they resumed they were
compelled to do business on a

TRIrl THEFT DOWN
State Editors Urge Voters to Refuse
Signatures to Referred Laws

The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted at the midsummer meet
ing OF the Colorado Editorial Association
in Colorado Springs last week:
Whereas, 1t is the duty OF the legisla-
ture to enact the laws needed by the peo-
Pile of the state. and the initiative and
referendum provisions of the state con-
stitution were given to the people OF this
state to be used only upon the failure OF
the legislature to enact laws OF general
Importance demanded by the people, and,
Whereas, certain people seem to have
an idea that every measure passed by
the legislature that does not meet with
their approval should be referred. and
that laws embody pet theories not of gen.
eral interest or Importance should be in
itiated, thus placing an unnecessary bur-
den upon the taxpayers Of the state
through the advertising Of these initiated
and referred laws,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved. That the
Colorado Editorial Association deplores
the unfair, unnecessary and unscrupulous
use of the provisions Of the initiative and
referendum by certain interests and GER
tain people, not only to further their own
selfish ends and purposes, but also to be-
little the real purpose Of the initiative
and referendum. by circulating petitions
to refer, and thereby make imperative,
laws already passed by the legislature
that were demanded by the people;
And Be 1t Further Resolved. That the
Colorado Editorial Association urges the
voters of Colorado to help reduce taxes
by refusing to sign all initiated and re-
ferred measures unless each voter shall
be personally satisfied that such measure
is of statewide interest and Importance,
and that it is demanded by the people.
