Congress- Should Repeal The Free
Sugar Clause at this Session.

NuSul VAOuNt IL lulN NODelVIls
In view Of all the facts it
would be the part Of wisdom
for Congress to repeal the
free sugar clause at this ses.
sion either by an amendment
to one of the Regular Ap.
preparation Bills or by sep.
arate legislation.
With the balance in the
general fund steadily dis
appearing, a great agri.
cultural industry in the
South and West threatened
with extinction, and the rich
trade with Cuba which we
now control about to be lost
or divided, there can be no
excuse for a different policy.
Spain is no more involved
in, nor embarrassed by the
European war than the Uuit-
ed States, and she is taking
advantage of the present
situation to extend her trade
with Cuba and South
America. While | was in
Havana in December an.
nouncement was made that
the Spanish Transatlantic
Line would increase its feet
by ten steamships and this
was preceded but a short
time by the, action Of the
Spanish government in max.
ing certain tariff concessions
to foreign sugar which will
rebound to the benefit of
Cuba.
The result of deferring the
repeal for another year be-
fore action by Congress
would be to enable the .refin.
ing'clique in the seaboard cit
les and a small circle of their
favored friends on the inside,
to. make another killing
at the expense of the growers
of Louisiana, Porto Rico and
the Western States. 1t
would mean that the sugar
scandal of 1913 is to be re-
peated in .1915. In 1894,
the refining clique forced
down the priceAof raw sugar
on the New. Orleans market
below the worlds parity and
the cost of production, only
to sell their hoardihgs a few
monthslater at the> highest
figure i'm recent history.
The whola Nation cried out,
against this extmrtion by the
Refining Trust which was
wholly upwarranted> Con,
gress can prevent a rspeti-
tion of that scandal by put,
ting an end to the free sugar
farce or tragedy, according
to the point from which n is
viewed, at the present ses'
sion.

phrases of 'socialistic' and 'paternalis-
tic in Characterization of government
ownership of vessels did not frighten
him in the least. He added that the
same criticism had been made of the

law, the rural free delivery law, the
teking over of the Panama railroad
and steamship line, the Interstate
Commerce. Commission law, the es-

garding the findings of the board, a.
the hearings are of the usual quasi
judicial nature, and the information
regarding the results will come later
from Washington.
The investigation does not involve
the specific gravity or quality of the
gasoline, but simply the question of
whether the dealers in Georgia, whole
sale and retail, are in any way justified
to charge prices SO much higher than
those which the same kind of gasoline
costs in Chicago or Louisville or Kan
sas City, for instance
Under the federal laws, there must
rot be a discrepancy in rates of things
sold in an interstate way, unless the
difference in freight rates or trans
portation cost between the respective
POINTS justifies it.
In other words, if it costs no more
for the big oil companies to ship gas
oline to Chicago than it does to ship il
to Atlanta, then the Atlanta dealers
have no right under the federal law -
charge more than the regular price
charged in Chicago, at the same given
time.

applies with equal force.
The commercial demand for more
tonnage is increasing as the months
roll by, the senator pointed out.
There is no doubt we have suffered
many million dollars during the past
wear in loss of trade and commerce,
and in burdensome freight rates." he
said. THE rate on grain to Liverpool
is 40 cents bushel, while before the
war it was 4 cents. The rates on -four
has gone from IL to SIS cents hundred
pounds. On provisions the rate is in
creased from So a ton to 81 hundred
pounds. On cotton the rate is $1.25,
when formerly it was 20 cents hun
dred pounds. Eastern railroad term
irals are congested, due to lack of
ships. Freight continues to pile up at
the ports. No law controls ocean
rates. We may expect to ray foreign
ship owners their own price. and that
price will be higher yet. Freight en-
barge is on at Galveston and threat
cred in New York. Our markets can be
restricted or eliminated without resort
to import laws-control of the means
Of transportation is sufficient. The
welfare of our producers is in peril,
the necessary equipment of the nation
itself is incomplete when we are de-
pendent on foreign vessels to reach
markets.

IMPORTANCE Of ARRANGING THE
COTTON AFTER GINNING BEFORE
MARKETING IS TOPIC OF TALK

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15.-It is
very important, according to the spec
i&lists of the U. S. department of agri-
culture, that all cotton that is not
marketed when ginned should be stor-
ed or placed in a position where it will
be protected from injury by moisture.
Where cotton is exposed to rain it is
subject to serious injury, and where
it is sheltered but left in contact with
the wet ground, it is likely to become
seriously damaged. 1t is frequently
the case that people do not realize the
amount of damage done. In many in
stances cotton appears from the out
side of the bale to be in fairly good
condition, when it is really badly in
iuredd inside, due to the fact that
moisture has been allowed to pene
trate the bale, thus causing mildew.
1t is not usual, according to the de-
partment's data, for cotton to suffer a
loss of from $500 to $500 per bale as
a result of unnecessary exposure. At
al times, it should be kept off the
ground and properly sheltered. Where
i is impossible to place it in ware
house, it should be protected by a dry
she'd or it may be placed on poles or
timbers which will keep it several
inches from the ground, and covered
with tarpaulins. Protected in this way
Ii can be held for six months or even a
year, with very little damage.
In some sections the farmers and
business men have organized compan-
les for the purpose of constructing
warehouses in order to protect the
cotton. This, the investigators believe,
j. a move in the right direction, and
every community should take this pre-
caution where the warehouses now
available are not ample for the protec-
ton of the cotton crop. They point
out. however, that many of these com
munities are making a serious mistake
in constructing cheap warehouses. It
has been shown, Bulletin 216, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Cotton
Warehouse; Storage Facilities Now
Available in the South') that there is
an annual loss of several million dol
lars in the cost of insurance. This
loss is brought about primarily by the
construction OF cheap warehouses. The
rate of insurance on these cheap
structures ranges from two per cent.
to four per cent. per annum, while it
is possible to insure cotton, in the
standard warehouse, with proper
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-11-15

equipment, at the rate of IA of one
per cent. per annum. The cheap sturc-
lures last a comparatively few years
and cost almost as much as the stand
ard warehouse. The saving in insur-
ance will pay for the difference in the
cost of the warehouse in very short
time While it is better to construct
inexpensive warehouses than it is TO
allow cotton to be damaged, it is much
better and even cheaper in the long
run to construct standard warehouses;

400 MORE SHIPS
NATIONAL PLANS
FOR OUR DEFE NSE

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The necessity
of providing at least 400 auxiliary ships
for the Navy as an arm of the national
defense was urged by Senator Duncan
L. Fletcher, of Florida, last night at a
meeting of the Academy of Political
Science at Columbia University as JUS
LITIGATION in itself for the enactment of
bill for the government ownership OF
merchant ships. Senator Fletcher had
charge of the government Ship Pur-
chase Bill in the Senate last session
and his words were listened to as in
dicative of plans for enacting the
meausre into law at the coming ses-
sion.
Last January when the Ship Pur-
chase Bill was before the Senate, |
pointed out that Great Britain, with all
Of its naval establishment, had found it
necessary to commander about $50
merchant vessels during the present
war;" said the Senator. Il pointed out
our need of naval auxiliaries. The need
grows on us. The government is COM
PEELED to build and acquire ships to
meet the necessities of the navy. NAVY
auxiliaries are a certain and controll-
ing need. These auxiliaries can be
constructed so as to serve commerce
in time of peace and be made ready to
serve the navy in time of threatened
or actual war. 1t is an arm of the ma
tional defense which must be develop
Cd and made serviceable".
Private control of transportation
may serve the purpose today and to-
morrow may join foreign combination
in utter disregard of both investors and
the public, he continued to say.
I'VE must be free from foreign dom
nation" he added, Il do not know how
this can be secured except by govern
mental control, in view of the great
lead that the merchant marines of
other countries have secured"
The shipping laws enacted since
1912 were pronounced as the first aid
given American shipping in years. He
defended the terms of the Seaman's
Law which went into effect eight days
ago, adding that he thought it would
he found that the strongest objections
tc the act on the Atlantic coast came
from foreign shipping interests. The
Senator denounced the action of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company offic-
ials in abandoning their trans-Pacific
service on the ground of the Seaman's
Law and then transferring their ships
