LEARNING SUGAR TARIFF FACTS

The San Francisco Chronicles argument
against free sugar is pretty good reading, and
moreover it gives the tariffrevsers at Washing
ton a new view of the situation.
The Chronicles point of view would be the
point of view of many millions of the American
people were the situation fairly placed before
them But Underwood and the other leading
tariffassailants are not giving both sides of the
sugar question. Even Representative Hardwiek,
chairman of the committee that made the thor
ough investigation of the sugar trust and kindred
topics, seems entirely to have dsregarded what
the friends of duty sugar testified before the
committee. No one, reading over the Hardwick
report, can fail to see with what expectancy the
sugar trust is waiting for the sugar producers of
the United States to be put in their power.
Furthermore, it is indeed difficult to see how
President Wilson can reconcile his ideas on
free sugar with his repeated, emphatic and un-
qualified declarations that in the course of his
general tariff revision program no legitimate in
dustry would be injured.

relief out of the fund siany objec-
tons have been raised to this system.
and especially loud were they when
the part Of the bill reciting the per-
centage of contributions from diner
ent classes of enterprises was reached.
This was the last stumbling block In
the course of the measure, and 1t was
when this point was reached that the
motion prevailed to have hold-over
committee appointed.
A new act has been cautiously aCi-
Hanced but never presented to the SEN
ate. BY it the judges of the crest
court would be made ex-oficso conf
missioners to hear such accident
cases. An empIoye would be permit
tee to file with the Judge as commits
sioner a sworn statement setting
forth the nature of his employment,
the nature of the accident, the amount
: of his wages, when the accident oe-
Cured, etc. In short, he would set out
the Facts necessary fer clear under
standing of the case. The judge would
then issue an order, directing the en-
ployer to appear in chambers at a GER
tain time and notifying him to con-
tInue paying the injured workman his
wages until further notice. At the
time appointed the employer could
appear either in person or by attorney.
and present any defense, based on
facts, he might have 1he employee
could also appear, though not required
to. The commissioner makes his or
der, which would be appealable only
III cases of gross abuse OF discretion.
Such an act would require the REPEAL
of the contributory negligence, fellow
servant rule and the assumption OF
risk statutes.
Pressure was brought upon the SEN
ate to simply repeal TIE above three
principal defenses in place Of passing
compensation act. 1t may be re-
gretted by many that they were not
repealed, irrespective OF the passage
of the bill, as their time of usefulness
has expired. They crept into juris-
prudence when the common law was
in its heyday, and have managed to
hang on like leach until the present
decade.
