IN YEAR 1898
Hawaiian Sugar Narrowly Es-
Gapes Levy; President Stands
] Out Against Transit Freight
Especial star-BulletiD Correspondence
By C. S. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON" d. c.. Sept. 81. -
Hawaiian sugar will not be reuQired tc
pay a levy OF any kind for the raisins
cause of the European war. The ides
of imposing even the small. tax Of
less than cents per hundred pounds
has been abandoned.
When the critical period arrived ii
framing the war tax measure Presi
dent Wilson put his foot down hard
on the plan to fix alevy of per cent
on all freight in. transit, which would
include sugar from Hawaii. He EN-
,phatically told the Democratic leaders
in Congress that some other method
of raising money must be found. He
would not countenaIce the taxing OF
freight, on the ground that it must be
eventually paid by the Ultimate Con,
sumner. ~. }..-.- ...-..- ....., .
And So the articles. on which taxes
were imposed during the Spanish-Am.
eriean war, Is years ago, We're taken
almost verbatim from the statute
books and written in q bill. A determ.
med fight was made 10 prevent the in.
clusion of bank checks and they es.
for refined sugar to the housewife. 1t
ceiyed the usual increase. 1-
There is general rejoicing I'm all
sections of the country because su.
gar avoided the per cent tax figured
out for freight in transit 1t was real.
lied by everybody from the President
down that this small levy would be
taken advantage of by the retailers
to enormously boost the price charged
for refined sugar to the housewife. It
was evident that this breakfast article
would leap upwards three or four cents
if the tax were imposed. -.
