Beet Sugar Representative
Denies "Insidious Lobby" Is
Working Against Tariff Bill

Denying that there Is any 'insidious
lobby at work against free sugar.
Truman G. Palmer. representing the
beet sugar industry here. declared to-
day that charges of President Wilson
along this line are unfounded. He en-
phatically denied that there IL any un-
limited use Of money, as alleged in the
statement Of President Wilson yester-
day. He asserts that the domestic pro-
ducers Of sugar are trying to conserve
their industry, but along legitimate, edu.
cational lines.
Congress is the only court to which
we can resort" declared Mr.. Palmer
have invested their money in the in
time officers Of the various factories
have visited Washington and have call
ed on their Congressman and Senator'S.
and some Of them have seen the Presi-
dent and laid their case before him
personally. To pass a tariff bill with
out a presentation Of the case to Con-
gress would be equivalent to a jury try
ing a case and excluding all witnesses"
Mr.. Palmer declares the Underwood
bill provisions on free sugar will kill
absolutely the domestic industry and
turn the entire sugar business Of the
country over to the seaboard refiners.
He declares the fight Is between the
refiners and the domestic producers.
and that the bill merely means the turn
ing Of millions into the pockets OF re-
finers, through the destruction of their
only competitor.
1T is entirely natural that the do
mestic manufacturers should seek to
have the bill altered declared Mr..
Palmer, but the situation Is not such
as is represented
Several weeks ago Mr.. Palmer re-
ceived intimations that the eighteen
Burns detectives quartered here for a
few days had been employed to watch
for a sugar lobby. He has not. how
ever. received any further news on this
subject. and he declared today that
their mission was useless, SO far as
any chance of discovering anything
wrong in the methods of the domestic
producers were concerned. These de-
tectives, according to well Informed
sources, were in the employ OF refiners.
who are anxious to have the free
sugar provisions pass.
