Boston.-Dr. Charles w. Eliot. presi-

Of religion caused worldwide discus

story Of the Garden OF Eden is a myth.
In an article printed by the Ameri-

God did not make man out of the
dust OF the ground
God did not turn stonemason and
give into the hands of Moses the ten
commandments
Neither did the sun stand still for
Joshua.
Neither did Jonah go through his

SUGAR INTERESTS
PUTTING UP A BLUFF

l have frequently called attention
to this economic fact, and in sup
port of the statement, showed that
in free trade England, and at the
German port of Hamburg, where
the world price" is fixed, sugar
sells for from 800 to 4 cents per
pound.
Taking A cents per pound as the
price received by the factory owner,
MIR. Oxnard figures out the vast
profit which may be made in the
sugar business.

produce $50 lbs. of refined sugar,
and at cents this sugar would
have value at the factory of $ll.2O
Mr.. Oxnard declares that S3.OOa
ton will COVER EVERY EXPENSE OF
MANUFACTURE" and he assures bis
readers that he has reason to be-
lieve that this item can be reduced
to $500 But accepting the more
liberal figure of $500 per ton, it is
apparent that after paying all ex-
penses incident to the operation of
the factory, the owner still has
$500 per ton left, out of which he
must compensate the farmer for
his beets. If he pays $500 ton
for the beets, his net profit will be
81 20 a ton.
WHAT is A FAIR PROFIT?
Would that be fair profitp
Let's see.
A modern sugar factory with
daily slicing capacity of thousand
tons represents an investment of
about one million dollars. If the
factory is properly located it should
be able to secure sufficient beets
for at least a hundred day cam
paign, or one hundred thousand
tons. A profit of 81 20 per ton
would mean a total net return of
two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars. After charging off 10 per
cent for depreciation, this would
leave sufficient to pay dividend of
IL per cent on the capital invested
one million dollars.
In all these estimates I have
given the companies decidedly the
best of it.
l have deliberately taken the
maximum estimate of the cost of
manufacture" - the expense of
handling the beets from the mo-
ment they leave the farmers wagon
until the refined sugar is placed in
the sack.
l have fixed the price of Is per
cent beets at $500 a ton, while the
average price paid the farmer is
$3.50.
l have taken no notice of the
very valuable by-products, or of
the mythical freight charges"
which the companies are enabled
to add to the price of the sugar
sold in many sections of the
country. These items combined
would make very handsome sum.
In addition l have figured on
comparatively short campaign
one hundred days. A factory that
is properly located should make
hundred and fifty day campaign,
thus materially increasing the
profits.
During the tariff debate noun
tain of evidence has accumulated,
showing the enormous earnings of
the sugar companies.
SOME SAMPLE DIVIDENDS
Mr. Oxnard admitted before the
Senate Lobby Committee that his
concern-the American Beet Sugar
Company-was capitalized for five
times the amount of money actually
invested, and the company's annual
report for 1910, showed that it had
earned at least As per cent on it's
real capital.
The Great Western Sugar Com.
pany is capitalized for thirty mil
lion, and at least half of this is
water" When this concern was
only five years old it had aocumu-
lated surplus of nine million dollars
in addition to paying generous
dividends.
The Monte Vista journal., 1914-01-17

Colorado papers that the Sugar
companies are endeavoring to cut
the price paid the farmers for their
beets. The average reduction pro-
posed is so cents per ton, and the
argument advanced in support of
the change is that the Underwood
Tariff Bill has forced down the
price of sugar to the consumers.
1t is true that the consumers
have already benefited tremend-
ously from this splendid piece of
Democratic legislation. When l
was campaigning in Colorado in
the fall of 1912, l took occasion to
ascertain the retail price of sugar
in the various towns l visited. l
found that the housewives were
getting from IL to IA lbs. of beet
sugar for dollar and 1 told them
if they would elect Democratic
President and Congress, we would
see that they received at least 20
lbs. for a dollar.
Every corner grocery in the
United States is today standing
advertisement of the complete re-
demption of the pledge. Three
years hence, when the last vestige
of the sugar tariff has been re-
moved from our statute books, the
housewife will get 25 lbs. of sugar
for dollar and the party which
attempts to force return to the
old conditions will experience
mighty rough shedding, especially
in those States where the women
have the ballot.
But this reduction to the con-
sumer does not justify cut in the
price paid the farmer for his beets
and I hope the beet growers of
Colorado will call the bluff of the
sugar interests and insist on "THE
OLD PRICE OR NO BEETs."
| want to reiterate what I have
frequently said in these letters:
An up-to-date sugar factory, prop
erly located in Colorado, can COM
pete with the world on free trade
basis and pay handsome return
on the capital actually invested.
HITS wATERED STOCK
There are some antiquated plants
in Colorado, heavily over capital
lied and in some instances located
far from beet supply which must
be modernized mechanically and
relieved of the need of paying
dividends on watered stock or they
will be forced out of business.
These are the concerns that the
Sugar Interests always point to
when they are seeking tariff favors
or when they are pleading with
the farmers for a reduction in the
price of beets. In order that these
junk heaps may continue to oper-
ate the farmers are asked to grow
beets for less than the cost of pro-
duction.
oXNARD's TESTIMONY
During the recent tariff discus
sion in the Senate, Senator Thomas
read into the Congressional Rec
ord extracts from circular to in.
vestors prepared by Oxnard and
Cutting and printed in the New
York Evening Post, Decent ber IL,
1901. The Oxnard referred to is
Henry Il. Oxnard, President of the
American Beet Sugar Company,
and the first man to successfully
conduct a sugar factory in this
country. He made great fortune
out Of the industry, and probably
knows as much about the cost of
making sugar as any man in the

ORGAN CONCERTS.

have the chance to hear the organ
played every day except Saturdays
and Sundays from three until four in
the afternoon, and many have already
awaited themselves of the opportunity
to do SO. The hour for the concerts
has been arranged with special refer.

Last week we received from one OF
our readers on Cliff Island a sugges-
ton that there be instituted as a reg
ular feature of the summer at Casco
Bay an inter-island Field Day, similar
to the ones formerly held on Che
beague for many years. Undouht-
eddy such an affair if once gotten
started and we'll arranged, would do
much to draw the various islands in
the bay closer together by providing a
common bond of interest; besides fur
n1shing a very wholesome and pleas
ant form Of rivalry. Those who were
witnesses of or participants in the
lChebeague Field Day of former years
will remember we'll what an occasion
it was in the summer season. Unfor-
tunately the holding of a Field Day
neceSsitated a great deal of work
which at Chebeague devolved almost
entirely upon a small committee OF
philosophical summer visitors, and
as is too often the case, the rest of
the people seemed content to leave
the whole business to these men. In the
course OF time some of the commit
tee for various reasons. were unable
to come back to the island or were un-
able to devote sufficient time to the
undertaking, and nobody else seemed
Wiling TO take up tnelr task. AS q
consequence the Field Day finally died
a natural death. Now, if an annual
inter-island Field Day were to be in:
stituted, it would mean even more
work and time than merely an island
one. But it would seem that such
an affair would be we'll worth the la
Dor expended. The whole question
comes down in the end as to whether
men could be found on the various
islands willing to promote the mat
ter, to give it the desired publicity
and to take upon themselves practi-
cally the entire burden of making all
necessary arrangements. We may
say here that THE BREEZE is will
ing to do all in it's power to promote
such an undertaking and would be
glad to receive communications from
any one interested in this subject.
