FREE SUGAR UP To WILSON.

Weil-lnformed at Washington sa,
New President Will Have Com
i nand of Situation.
One OF the questions which Presi
i dent Wilson will have put up to hin
When the extra session of congress
gets under way is what to do abou1
the sugar tariff.
1t is generally taken for granted
the senate will not stand for free
sugar and that Democratic senators
/ VIII split on 1t. That there will be q
split seems certain. but latterly the
possibilities of free sugar have seem
ed to increase.
/ Senators who have been studying
| the sugar tariff situation say if Pres.
hldent Wilson wants free sugar and in
|R1sts on it he will get it.
d They have come to the conclusion
that few Democrats in the senate
will resist free sugar sentiment plus
pressure from the White House. It is
| not yet known whether Mr.. Wilson
| is going to remain neutral in the SUI
gar tariff fight or whether he will op-
pose or favor free sugar. But we'll
Informed political prophets hold he
can practically settle tn sugar tariff
situation as he wants to.
Of course the Louisiana senators
Will fight free sugar to the limit.
Whether any other Democrats do SO,
however, depends on whether the
Louisiana senators logron with Flor
Ida senators on ciIrous fruits, with
other senator's on lumber and SO on.
Il there is no logrolling, then provid-
Ing Wilson fights for free sugar. the
Democratic opposition in the senate
may be held down to the Louisiana
senators. This is the calculation of.
those senators who believe free SUI
gar imminent. depending on the White
House attitude.
That the house will pass a free
sugar bill is taken for granted. It's
supporters as well as the advocates
OF free raw wool are already busy in
the ways and means committee and
in the house. They are urging that
the income tax amendment and GER
talnty Of an income tax law has
cleared the way for free. sugar.
