Columbus, Ca, Aug. 3O.--Luther
Hawkins, white boy, about grown

ARE IN FAVOR
OF RUNNING BOOSTER TRAIN

The plan suggested by The News a
few days ago for the operation of a
Booster Special by Brunswick bus
mess men to points along the Geor-
gia Coast and Piedmont railroad
when that line is in operation to
Brunswick few weeks hence, has
met with the approval Of the business
people of the city generally and it
seems probable that such trip will
be arranged.
1t is pointed out by those interested
in the subject that Brunswick should
do this to at least let the people of
this new territory know that their
business is wanted and that Bruins
wick business concerns are anxious TO
have business relations with them.

Il thing the suggestion a great one
and am heartily in favor of arrang-
ing such trip. The bu ;.noss peo.
pie of Brunswick, both wholesale and
retail, should get together at once,
arrange the itinerary and make the
announcement. 1t would take only
two days to maze the trip from this
city to the. end of the line, with
short stops at all stations. where the
business people of Brunswick could
meet these people, who should, as
soon as the road is in operation, dc
all their business with Brunswick"
Other merchants Of the city dis
cussed the matter most favorably

Dear Sir:
You have. through the columns Of the
papers of our state and through youl
utterances. most viciously attacked the
beet sugar manufactures Of this state.
You have. in your letters to the press
made statements so misleading. so con-
trarJ to fact, that your statements are
doing fully as much harm to the industry
as did your vote on the tariff bill.
We will not quarrel with your vote, Mr.,
KeatinR. You were elected on free
sugar platform. but we do quarrel with
your erroneous statement for which there
is not the foundation Of fact.
You say. Mr.. Heating, you can see no
reason that is to prevent the United States
from competing with the sugar Of the
world. il Germany can do so. Nothing.
Mr.. Heating. nothing whatever, if con-
ditions similar to those existing in Ger
many are brought about.
In the first place, sugar in Germany is
not duty free. A tariff. which you state
is So cents per hundred. is being collect
ed. and assure you. MIR. Heating. IL you
can assure the sugar manufacturers a
net rofit Of S 55 per hundred. the manu-
faeturers will be satisfied.
In the second place. in spite of your
repeated statements that Germ n
factories pay as much for beets as do
the factories in the United States, this is
not true.
The price for beets in Germany fluc-
tuates with the price of suRar-from
81 SO to $500 per ton. for beets with an
average sugar content of IL per cent
sugar and 80 per cent purity.
Beets Of similar sugar content but
S per cent lower in purity were. and
are being paid for at the rate of $685.
per ton right here in the Arkansas VAL
ley. To this figure must be added at
least so cents additional per ton. for freight
and receiving labor on these beets, it
costing the American factories that much
more per ton for this service than il does
German factories.
Aside from the fact that tho lower
purity of the American beet means from
s to 20 pounds less of extraetable sugar
per ton Of beets. these beets are costing
the American manufacturer about So
per ton more than they do this German
competitor.
Your statement as to labor cost is as
tonishing. IT you. Mr.. Heating, know Of
e sugar factory in the United States in
which the labor cost is less than so cents
per hundred. you will be doing the in
dustry favo. by publishing its location
so that it may be studied.
But this you ought to know: The
average daily wage in German sugar
factories will not exceed 80 cents per day,
The average daily wage in American
sugar factories is fully three times this
figure.
In order to compete with Germany.
Mr.. Heating. we would have to bring
about conditions similar to Germany. and
that means reduction in the purchase
price of beets to from $3.50 to $500
per ton. a reduction in daily wage for

factory employees to less than S 90 per
day. and duty Of So cents per hundred
You state. definitely, Mr.. Heating. that
up-to-date American factories should
make sugar for from $3.50 to s2.zo per
hundred. You will find, Mr.. Heating, II
you care to investigate. that it cost mod
ern. up-to-date factories. located within
the district you represent, more than
$2.zo per hundred pounds OF sugar for
beets alone.
Mr.. Heating. the beet sugar industry
in this country cannot yet live without
protection, much as those Of US in the
business wish that 1t were possible. No
one regrets this fact more than do the
men operating the factories in the United
States. They well recognize the fact
that the industry they are building up is
not upon a sound basis and will not be
until it can compete with the world.
The men operating the factories have
seen the industry grow from few small,
isolated plants to one which now is be-
coming of great economic Importance to
the country. They know. as they should.
much better than do the stockholders,
what the weak spots Of the industry are.
and are working most aggre ssively
toward solution Of the problems. They
know the progress which has been made
in the past and expect to do better in the
future.
Mr.. Heating. the weak spot of the beet
industry in this country at the present
time is on the farm. not in the factory.
We have not learned to, grow beets Of a
sugar content and purity similar to the
German farmers for the same price. As
matter Of fact, just yet we cannot grow
similar bests at any price. And how
could you expect the farmer in the Ark
ansas Valley. for instance, to have learn
ed in dozen years that which has taken
German farmers full hundred years to
learn? Give us conditions similar to
those Of Germany and we will eompste.
You find that some Of the sugar COM
panies have a great deal Of water in
their capitalization. Granted; but do you
attribute this condition to the tariff? Is
the tariff responsible for the water in
American Railroads. the Express Com
paniss, Meat Packing Combine. or Har-
vester Trust? Do you suppose the re-
moval Of the tariff will cause a single
drop Of the water in the American
Refining Company to evaporate? The
sugar trust, after the removal of the
tariff. will still continue to buy Cuban
and other raw sugars. and refine them
and make its profit from this operation.
In fact. its profit will be increased. for
with the decline of the beet sugar indus
try. it will refine more sugar than ever
before and at the same time its working
capital will be decreased, for it will not
need the money now collected by the
Government as revenue.
However, that is now beside the issue.
The American people are going to UNDER
take tariff experiment no matter how
costly it may prove. and under the cir
cumstances we cannot quarrel with your
vote, but we do quarrel with your erron-
eous. unfair and unsupported statements.
Yours truly.
