THE SUGAR OUTLOOK
tSsn Francisco Gail

Regardless OF the promises of the Dem.
ocrats that they would not injure any es.
tahlished American industry, sugar will
cease to be produced in this country after
mex, year.
Two factories in this state will moi ap.
crate the coming season and have caused
all land which they own to be sown to
grain. The very large world crop Of
l9l2-l3 so reduced the margin Of profit
in beet sugar that only our most fortunate
factories made any money in 1913, and il
is said that another large crop is in sight.
This would not OF itself cause any factory
in this state to close down. but with
certainty of closing after this year two
OF our factories have concluded to quit.
The others will continue in the hope that
the free sugar provision OF the tariff will
be repealed. With the cost of beet sugar
from 50 to IS cents above that OF i'm.
ported cane suear-both refned-the con.
tinuance of beet sugar production is i'm.
possible.
This is a veritable disaster. Our beet
sugar industry has been one of our most
potent factors in improving our method
OF agriculture, now acknowledged to be q
matter OF State and National importance.
1t is only by the very best agricultural
practice that sugar beets can be raised at
all. On beet sugar land rotation of crop
is imperative and the soil, after beet cul.
ture, is in a condition for maximum
yield of other crops. The industry was
growing rapidly in this stare and its ruin
is an agricultural calamity.
More than that, it deprites thousands
and thousands OF farm laborers of work

that Leghorns are kept in 1t and the

which they have been enjoying and upon
which they were counting. Indications
were that within a decade we should
cease to import sugar and that domestic
competition would reduce the price to
the lowest possible point. The effect OF
deprivins farm lsborers OF employment
ON such q scale must be to add 10 the
congestion Of our cities and the problem
Of unemployment.
1t is possible that there are some who
will rejoice that Capitalists" who have
invested large sums in the sugar industry
will lose their money. Most people.
however, will not think so. There are
thriving towns which have been built
upon the location of sugar factories which
are in way TO stand idle with their
costly machinery q total loss.

APPEAL FOR GREATER
 MISSIONARY WORK
Christian W0men's Board of Missions Meets in
 Atlanta

Atlanta, October S.--Appeals for greater missionary efforts by the church in Latin America and in the cities were made in addresses at to- nights session of the Christian Wom- ans Board of Missions, held here in conjunction with the international con- yention of the disciples of Christ. Rev. $. G. Inman, chairman of the board s commission on Latin America with headquarters in Piedres Negras, Mex ico voiced the call for increased ac- tivities in Mexico, Central and South America. H. ]. Derthick of Indianapo- lis emphasized the need of the workers in American cities.
 The Rev. MT. Inman asserted the present is the crucial period in Latin America and especially in Mexico, whore he said there is noted a chang ing attitude toward Protestant religion.
 The frequent revolutions in Latin America usually involve some worthy principle and mean advancement, and are not merely purposeless outbursts. he declared. "The revolution in Mex ico was most justifiable uprising against the abuses of land barons and the priests and if Christian America sends immediately sufficient rein forcement of missionaries we can ex- pect an era that will astound the world"

New York. October S.--;Speeial.)-A com elete whirlabout in the character of our international trade began in the first week of Setpember. Not until the end of the month was there visible evidence of this and, in fact. this evidence was confined to the official reports from the custom house in New York which showed the money value of exports of the last week of September.
 Evidence carefully guarded in plenty of the immediate effect of the war in early August, is to be found in the offices at many of the large industrial organiza- tons. Occasionally brief and not verified reports are published which set forth large international trade transactions. These, however, must refer to not more than small part of the transactions re- gently completed or now in progress. made of certain purchases by Russia in the United States, and it is essential prob ably to the interest of Russia that there be no report at present of these transac. violating confidence is that Russia in the first week of October bought heavily of certain commodities manufactured by scme of the large American corporations.

ID PRESS PASSAGE
 OF WAR TAX BILL
Will Be Taken Up Today and Rushed Through
 at Once

Washington, October s.-The emer- gency war tax bill was made the un- finished business of the Senate today to be pressed continuously until passed. Senate leaders tonight expressed the belief that the measure would be passed by the end of next week.
 The bill as perfected by the demo- cratic caucus yesterday was out of the finance committee after brief session and reported to the Senate by Senator Simmons. By unanimous con- sent the measure was made the un- finished business with the understand ing that it would be taken up tomor- row to give way only to the confer enee report of the Alaska coal land leasing bill.
 The committee presented no estimate of the amount to be raised by the bill, but Senator Simmons said the esti- mated revenue would be apout s105,- o00,O00 unless a continued slump in beer production cut it down.
 The report of the committee said present revenue and tariff laws had raised enough money to run the gov ernment and leave a surplus of S3i,- oO0,o00 last year.
 Early in August of the present year'' it adds, seven of theF great nations of Europe became involved in war, six of them being the chief in- dustrial nations of that continent. These conditions in Europe necessarily have affected our trade relations with Europe, particularly our imports, and as> our customs revenues are derived from duties on imports. our revenue from this source has greatly suffered and will continue to suffer while the conflict continues"
 The report presented a table showing the following decreases in customs rev. enues for the present fiscal year under those of last year:
 July, s4,S00,000; August. s11,500 ,000 i; September, s9.600,000 October (first five days). $2.S00,000.''
 As reported. the revenue bill would go into effect 30 days after it's pas sage and cease tosbe operative on De- cember 31, 1915. An amendment pro- posed by the finance committee would appropriate s492.00O for the adminis- tration of the law.
 The dispute over taxes on domestic wines continued today before sub committee of the finance committee.
