HAS NO COOPERATIVE PLAN
Department Of AgrlcuIture's Office Of
Markets Recommends No Definite
Form Of Organization.

Numerous cooperative associations,
especially in the western United
States, are appealing to the depart
ment Of agriculture to have the office
Of markets make an investigation Of
their particular type Of cooperative
enterprise. The idea apparent In their
requests is that the department pro.
poses to recommend the form OF some
particular organization for general
adoption throughout the United States
by producers cooperative organiza-
tions.
The department has no such plans
in view. but is desirous of securing
information concerning all co-opera-
tive undertakings wherever they may
be located. and with whatever prod
ucts they may deal. 1t is interested
also in consumers organizations and
cooperative mercantile enterprises.
At the request of the department.
the civil service commission has re-
Gently held examinations for positions
In the office Of markets, including
specialist In cooperative organization.
Sixty.four applicants satisfied the com.
mission that they we're entitled to
consideration for the position. 1t will
be some time before the commission
will be able to correct these papers
and make certiflcations to the depart.

ative organization has been selected
and appointed. 1t is possible that this
oficer may as opportunity arises make

duct and methods Of some Of the nu.

States to assist the department in
giving the most valuable information
and advice to groups Of persons de-
string to effect organizations.

HAVE WRONG POLICY
Proposed Democratic Tariff Will
Not Help Consumer.
Provision for "Free Raw Sugar" Is
Based on Insecure Foundation
Foreign Growers Alone Win
Be Benefited.

The senate has reached the key
stone of the arch erected by the max
ers OF the Woodrow Wilson tariff bill,
and the feature for which Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee has publicly unloaded re-
sponsibility upon the White House.
That is the provision for free raw
sugar" in three years. On this provi-
sion the administration has virtually
staked its prestige in tariff-making.
The theory of free raw sugar ls
that to take off the tax" on imported
sugar will make sugar cheaper TO the
consumer" That theory might be ten
able and true If the worlds production
of sugar had ever yet reached the vol
ume that would supply the demand for
sugar at prices that all could afford to
pay.
1t Is neither tenable nor true be-
cause that point has never yet been
reached. The peoples of the earth
have always wished, and wish today.
to eat more sugar than they can afford
to buy.
1t follows that the true policy is to
encourage the production of sugar in
this country. as it has been encour-
aged by Republican tariffs. With the
growth Of the domestic industry sugar
has declined in price. AS methods are
improved it will go still lower-unless
the domestic industry is crippled by
taking away the protection it still
needs against cheaper labor and lower
standards of living in other sugar
growing countries.
AS the facts stand. the beneflciaries
of free raw sugar" will be foreign
growers and the retiners of the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts. who will absorb
the present import duty between them.
The consumer" will benefit little, ii
at all, and certainly not permanently.
For with the Gripping of the domestic
industry sugar supplies will be re-
| duced.
The two Louisiana senators have
left their party on proposal which
threatens the leading industry Of their
state with destruction. The Repub-
licans are fighting hard to defeat 1t.
realizing that II they can knock this
| keystone out OF the Woodrow Wilson
tariff arch they will have scored a
great point.
The next few days will determine
whether President Wilson's tariff pro-
gram will get through congress as it
came from the White House or will
have to be seriously modified on less
doctrinaire and more practical lines.

Shows Democratic Incompetence.

Taken altogether. the banana tax is
a fine illustration Of stupidity in tax
laying. OF course the source Of the
blunder is easy enough to understand.
Having resolved to throw away about
$50. 1000, 900 OF revenue now paid by
foreign sugar growers and the redn-
ers' trust the Democrats were hunt
ing for something on which to make
good the loss.
Some Democratic tariffmaking gen
ius thought OF the banana. and re-
membered that forty years ago. when
he was a boy. bananas were regard
ed as a luxury" So tax was slap
ped on bananas.
Except possibly the income tax on
life insurance funds and through
them on widows and orphans. there is
not in the Woodrow Wilson bill a
clearer Illustration OF Democratic in
competence in legislation than the
banana tax.

Il liked them all father. but

Kerr felt that If he could get her
away he could see to 1t that she did
not return. even at the cost Of his
leaving Belmont year or two sooner
than he had planned. To this sug
gestion Gloria did not accede.
What! go away and miss all the

to stay right here and make pies in

And you're going with me-" Kerr
made a deprecating gesture, but she
quickly overruled him. Don't say q
word. You're going. and tonight's 8
the night we start. We're going to
the theater tonight"
Then Gloria told of girl she had
seen on the train who had come to
Belmont to a theater party. She ex-
planned to her father that no occasion
would give her a better opportunity
to see the Belmont of which she was
to be a part than that offered that
evening. In all likelihood she would
meet a number of persons between
the acts. From her point of view she
suggested so many good reasons that
her father was afraid to fnterposs
any objection at the time.

For some time they sat in silence
