HAVE WRONG POLICY
Proposed Democratic Tariff VIII
Not Help Consumer.
Provision for "Free Raw Sugar. 10
Based on Insecure Foundation
Foreign Growers Alone Will
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 tarin-making-
The theory of free raw sugar" Is
that to take OF 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 1t 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 beneiciaries
of free raw sugar. will be foreign
growers and the refners of the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts, who will absorb
the present import duty between them
The consumer will benefit little, IL
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 a proposal which
threatens the leading industry of their
state with destruction. The Repub-
licans are fighting hard to defeat 1t,
realizing that if 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
$50,00O,0O0 of revenue now paid by
foreign sugar growers and the REIN

good the loss.

he was a boy, bananas were regard

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
