CONFESS BLUNDER
Democratic Secretary of Commerce
Calls on Democratic Congress TO
Repair Their Own Blunder

No less a person than Secretary Of
Commerce Redfield has admitted the
necessity for legislation to provide
that unfair competition from abroad"
at the close of the war "shall not be
permitted to injure American indus
try" The Secretary has announced
that in his next annual report to Con-
gress he will recommend the enact
ment Of laws to prevent the dump
ing" Of foreign products into the
American market.
Considered in connection with Sec
retary Redfeld's statement, the action
of the democratic congress in elimi-
mating the "anti-dumping" clause from
the Underwood tariff law assumes the
proportions Of colossal blunder.
The Lamar register., 1915-10-20

That the enactment of the Under
wood bill would render imperative at
least a small measure of protection to
American industries was conceded by
the Ways and Means committee when
it reported the tariff bill. To provide
it the committee recommended an
anti-dumping clause, declaring in its
report that it was to guard the pro-
ducers of the United States against
the decentralization of American mar
kets caused by low priced foreign
importations."
The clause provided in substance
that upon exported foreign articles not
on the free list also manufactured in
the United States, special duty of
not to exceed fifteen per cent should
be levied whenever the foreign price
was less than the fair market value
at home.
The House passed this provision
The republicans unsuccessfully tried
TO amend it and then to "A man voted
for it. The senate finance committee
struck 1t from the bill, and in spite OF
united republican efforts to amend
and restore it, the tariff bill passed
the senate without the anti-dumpinE
clause, eventually becoming a lew in
that form.
The anti-dumping clause thus thrown
into the discard by the democrats was
very evidently a necessity the de
mand for which was actually empha-
sized by the passage Of the law from
which it was finally eliminated.
In recommending anti-dumping leg
islation now, Secretary Redfield has
not merely turned the limelight upon
Legislative blunder Of his party. He
has justified the position Of the re
publicans and virtually championed
their cause.

LOCAL FACTORIES INCREASE
PRICES
Unsolicited Increase Proves Boon ia
Valley Beet Growers

With the announcement that the
tariff on sugar would remain un-
changed indefinitely comes the tidings
from the sugar companies to the eff
feet that an increase in the graduated
schedule of the growers in the Arkan-
sas valley would take effect with the
opening of the campaign of this year
and the added ration will be one of
Importance TO the growers.
Nov what do you think of this ?"
says the Swink Advocate, "There has
been no kick on the price Of beets this
season, at least since planting time
Still, the local sugar factory has come
through with a rise in price paying
the growers according to the test of
the beets. Although the contracts
which were signed by the growers
called for $500 per ton for all beets
testing from ~ to 1914 per cent, and
$3.50 for 16 per cent or better, the
company has raised their prices ac-
cording to the following table:
- and under Ii per cent 90
Ia and under l4.5 per cent. S5.12h
14.5 and under 10 per cent. &C.. .$5 .25
10 and under 1876 per cent. .... $3.50
15.5 and under l6 per cent. S5.621a
16 and under 16.5 per cent $5.75
16.5 and under II per cent. $5.S755
II and under 17.5 per cent. 5000
17.5 and under 18 per cent. S6.12Ia
10 and under 1875 per cent. $6.25
1876 and under 10 per cent. .$6.37 X
10 and under 1875 per cent. $3.50
Some may say that this does not
amount to much. No, it does not if
grower intends to get only tonnage
from his acres, but if he is trying to
grow beets with sugar in them he will
profit materially. Say under the reg
ular contract, it would matter none at
all whether the beets averaged 151a
or only ~ per cent, the grower would
only get the same money, but under
the present prices. the difference be-
tween 12 and 15ia per cent beets is
80 cents per ton. Quite an item on a
few tons; in fact it is about an IL per
cent increase.
The officials Of the company do not
state their reason for making the in
crease in price this season, but we pre-
sumo that the price on sugar will re-
main up pretty we'll, and the company
feels that it will share the profits with
the growers. This kind Of schedule
is what the growers have been con-
tending for these many years. 1t seems
that the farmers would like better to
grow beets along the line Of pay ac-
cording to the sugar content" and
this question is what has caused much
dissatisfaction during the spring, the
time when the growers were signing
contracts. Perhaps next season the
farmers will be offered a contract
similar to the present schedule, and if
so, we will venture that there will be
very little quibbling.-Rocky Ford

SAY OFFICIALS
TELEGRAM OF PRESIDENT RIP
LEY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
CAUSED REJOICING IN THE
CITY.

The news that the president of the
Santa Fe had wired the mayor that
the company would make prompt
settlement for all just claims as a
result of the great disaster, was re.
ceiyed with general rejoicing in this
city yesterday afternoon by all, with
the exception of a few disciples Of
Blackstone, who had visions of fat
fees and lengthy litigation.
AS rule, every business man ap-
preached upon the subject was in a
happy mood at the prospects of a
speedy settlement, They were pleased
with the probability that those who
were damaged could restore their
property by receiving the money
quickly, without litigation. The com
mittee appointed by the mayor re-
Gently has been instructed to prepare
statement for Mr. Pettibone, who
will be here tomorrow, and will take
the matter of settlement up with them
The railroads believe that the com
mittee of business and professional
men, with Ex-Governor Cruce as chair
man, will give them a square deal,
and the citizens of the city who were
damaged by the explosion will be
treated in a Just and equitable man
ner. The committee and the city
commissioners will meet some time
today and begin the preliminary work
before the arrival of Mr.. PettibOne.
Every one having a claim against
the Santa Fe should make it out and
file with the committee, which will
investigate and determine whether it
is just to all parties, before they
will attach their signatures to it.
AS one member of the city admins
tration remarked this morning, any
one who believes that he or she is
going 20 get rich out Of this calamity
is going to be mistaken. 1t is the
solemn duty Of the committee to see
that every claim is just, and there IS
not the slightest doubt but what all
parties will be dealt with e1uitably
and justly,

Mammoth General Merchandise Store
Where CId-Timers Worked

City Clerk George Henry Bruce
and Sam Daube of this city saw the
old Iron Store, as it was built %
years ago, and they We're near the
building Sunday morning when it fell
to the ground. The building was first
wrecked by the explosion, then work
men had removed a portion of it
during the week. and heavy freight
train came into the yards Sunday and
the conclusion from the engine
caused what was left of the old build
ing to fall. 4
1t was the first building to be built
in the city-that is of any size. 1t
was a mammoth building, and Nun
zesheimer & Daube carried an I'M
mense stock in it in the early days
of the city. =
Many old-timers clerked in the
building. Congressman Carter took
his first lessons in merchandising 2
there. Frank Hyden, Jonas Baum,
the Munzesheimer boys, and many
others, have worked in that building
in the early days.
