Fianters' Cost Of Production
y, Before establishing the schedule of
cane payment rates Tor the 1913 con
tract, II was essential that a fairly APP
probate figure should be obtained for
the average planters cost Of production.
From all that could be gathered, il APP
peared that this is In the neighborhoo,I
Of. eg.25 per ton; this includes rents and
represents the average cost of bringing
lion Of cane TO maturity. Mr.. Henry
Lyman, our largest planter recently in
fofmed, me that he can grow cane at an
average cost Of $40 per ton. One Of
our other planters, Mr.. A. g. Curtis, in
formed me about year ago that he has
grown cane at his place ct an expense
Of only $l.50 per ton. While there
arc no doubt many instances Of even
lower costs than this latter figure, there
are also instances in which the cost has
been abnormally high. There are many
mon growing cane on small scale who
are not experienced farmers and there
are others who raise and sell cane as q
side issue, and allow their fields TO be
looked after by few Japanese care
takers II Is a common feeling among
fh6 outside planters that each and
everyone Of them should make a profit
irrespective Of how much money II
spent in the sundry farming operations
o. how low the price Of sugar is ruling
on the mainland market Possibly il
every farming district throughout The
world there Is mixture Of successful
AMI unsuccessful men engaged In like

 Martin F. Glynn was the only Governor New Yorl had in twenty years who thoroughly understood the fl nances and administrative machinery of the State
 Mir. Glynn inherited the Governorship after the i'm peaehment and remoyement Of William SUlzer" st Q time when the government Of the State had been reGnc ed almost condition of anarchy In less than year he put the State government back on its feet not only administratiyely but financially In addition to this he brought about the enactment of the most important pro gram of progressive legislation that New York had n years. The Workmen's Compensation Law. the Di rect Primary Act and the Massachusetts ballot were part of his contributions to the political well being of The State In addition he reorganzed the Health De- partmen and the Labor Department and was making the factory code genuine contribution to the public welfare.
 No other governor that this State has known in a generation had to his credit such record of substan- ,ia achievement Mr. Glynn in spite of the extra ordinary difficulties under which he assumed office and Che brief that he served Regardless of this rec ord Che people of New York at the first opportunity kicked 1lr. Glynn out of the GOvernorship Some of them chose punish him for the Sulzer Impeachment in which he had no part. and some of them chose to prescribe him of his religion. Others made him the scapeeoat Murphy and all the sins of Tam many were visited upon Governor who was never af nated with Tammany Although he was justly con demned for the appointments that he had made as a concession to the Tammany boss he denied credit for all the really service that he had rendered to that State.
 As a result highly trained and competent Gov ernor was driven out of office and excellent District Attorney but wholly inexperienced Governor succeeded to task that and requires intimate person al knowledge and experience in State affairs The sit uaton Albany testines eoQuenty to the bunder that the voters of New York made last fall
 reactionary Republican majority is playing politics with the finances and an the departments of the State government and with an the progressive leg saton that has been enacted at such great effort But this could have happened the voters of New York had first played politics with Governor Giynn They made him vicarious victim of Murphyism. and now they have learned to their disgust that this Republican and that New York has no chief executive who is able to restrain It's partisan excesses.
 The voters of New York owe an apology to Martin Fl. Glynn

Great Britain acknowledges that she has lost aboa, 100 merchant yes sells through destruction by German cruisers and sub marines besides Che vessels which have been sunk while Germany has lost fully many Germany places the British loss at much greater number and there is reason to believe that the British statement is too small The losses of Russia France and Austria have run up into the scores. Many Dutch. Norwegian and Danish and Swedish merchant vessels have been de- stroyed by mines and the American merchant marine has not escaped unscathed.
