A Washington dispatch to the
New York American says. The ad-
ministration; facing Treasury de,
ficit and fearing destruction of both
cane and beet sugar industry
through free sugar, is about to re-
verse its free sugar policy by amend
ing the Underwood tariff law to re-
tain. duty Of cent a pound on
sngar. 1t is estimated such duty
would yield to the Federal Treasury
annually about S37,O0O,000. The
Treasury is now running short on
revenues about s500,O0O a day while
awaiting collections from the income
tax and other sources. 1t is the
opinion Of both sugar and cane grow
ers in Louisiana and beet sugar
growers in Colorado, that the / cent
a pound duty will permit those IN
dustries to survive.
