BUDDHIST SECT TAKES
STEPS TOWARD MoDERNITY

TOXIC, Japan.-After an IL days
conference at Kishu the Buddhist sect
known as Shingon has adopted two
steps which, according to its leaders,
bring the sect into paths of modern
ism The first is to ratify the extern
sion to women of the right>o pilgrim
age to the famous Koyasan monastery
which stands in the mountainous re-
gion in Kishu, right which has been
restricted to the male sex from times
immemorial. The second step was
that of extending recognition to the
marriage of it's priests j.
The Shingon sect has stood for eel
ibacy since it was founded in the ninth
century. The recognition of mar
riage took the form Of resolution de-
claring that the son of rector of the
monastery would be recognized as the
first candidate for the rectorship upon
the death of the incumbent. -

MILLIONS ON

That the new Edison submarine
storage battery is being tried out on
the United States undersea wasp E-2

and alterations.
Mr.. Edison wants the United States
naval authorities to see by actual de-
monstration in the latest boat to be
equipped with them that he has de.
yeloped the batteries to high degree
of efficiency and utility.
Mr.. Edison's labors on the battery
included handbag $4,000 experiments
and an expense of about $3,000,000
and date back to 1910, when United
States navy submarine officers were
assigned to investigate submarines

The greatest difficulty with the craft
was with. the batteries, and Mr..
Edison was asked to eliminate the
possibilities of chlorine gas and other
noxious fumes.
Not only will the batteries free the
undersea boats from chlorine gas, a
distinct advantage over the batteries
used by other nations, but the Edison
battery, lighter, smaller and with
greater capacity than the others, will
increase materially the cruising pow

Projection Partly Recognized.

(M1ch1gan Manufacturer ami Fnap-
cial Record, October 2S.)
Two distinet positions have heen
taken recently by the present admin
istration that look quite distinctly to-
ward at least partial recognition of
the doctrines of protection. One is
the alienation OF the sentence which
was passed on the sugar industry II
is part of the revenue law of this
country, passed by the last Congress,
that the last vestige Of protection OF
the sugar industry should pass away
in 1916. When that was passed We
had very well organized sugar in
dustry In Michigan. 1t was most
largely composed of the factories of
three companies, the Michigan Sugar
Company, the Holland Sugar Company
and the German-American Sugar Com
pany. There were others CT less cap
italization and factory capacity. Just
as soon as the present tariff bill was
passed the value of interests in these
companies, not one of which is over
capitalized, ran down. In the case of
the Michigan Sugar Company It's COM
mon stock, selling on the public mar
ket as high as lis per cent of it's par
value, fell until it reached 70 per cent
thereof. The fall in the price OF
stock of the Holland company was so
great as to seriously injure many
western Michigan people who had
their money in the enterprise. The
same was true, in greater or less de-
gree, of all the other properties.
These facts were the practical judg-
ment of people who had their own
money to invest in the result of the
removal of the tariff on sugar.
Then came the war. To large ex-
tent it removed for a season or two
the dangers of foreign competition,
largely that from Germany. The price
of sugar became stabilized, indeed it
experienced considerable advance
Under this Influence it looked as If
the sugar industry was likely to D.
even more profitable than it had beer
IL previous years. The prices of the
sugar stocks went up, but only mod

CFrom Facts About Sugar. J


According to newspaper reports. As
sistant Secretary OF the Treasury Pc
tiers. in a speech delivered during the
recent political campaign in Massa-
chusetts, made the assertion that the
Underwood tariff law brought sugar
down from seven and eight cents a
pound to four and five cents pound. =
II seems hardly credible that such
statement could have been made by
man occupying responsible public
position. II is charitable, and credit
able to the assistant secretary, TO as
sumo that the newspaper account
quotes him fnaccurately
The reduction in the duty on sugar
made by the Underwood law amount
ed to approximately one-third of a
cent pound on 96 degree test Cuban
sugar. and to two-fifths of a cent a
pound on the same grade of sugar
from other countries This is virtual
ly the only grade of sugar imported
into the United States. Even If the
full amount Of this reduction had been
subtracted from the selling price, by
what conceivable mathematical pro-
cess could reduction in the imncrt
price of third Of a cent pound be
translated into a reduction of three
cents a pound in the cost to the con-
sumner? -" :.sE
The fact is, as we have pointed out
repeatedly, that the only period dur
ing which it can be claimed with any
semblance of reason that the Under
wood tariff law caused any reduction
in the price of sugar was for the nine
weeks Immediately following March 1.
1914, the date on which the reduction
took effect Naturally a large amount
of imported sugar had accumulated in
the bonded warehouses in New York
waiting to take advantage of the tar
III change. The release of this accIi-
mutation was bound to affect prices
temporarily. The average amount of
the reduction in the wholesale price
during this period was 164 cents a
pound. II this difference had been
fully reflected in the retail price-in-
vestigation at the time showed that it
was not--it would have amounted to a
saving of less than one cent on the
purchase of five-pound package OF
sugar. At the end of the ninth week
of the operation of the sugar clause
of the Underwood law, sugar was sell
ing at exactly the same price as be-
fore the law went into effect, and
from that time until the outbreak of
the European war, 1t sold at a higher
price than it had commanded during
January and February, 1914, before the
reduction In tariff took place. Since
the beginning of the war, prices of
course, have maintained higher levels.
As matter of plain, unyarnished
truth, nobody who sticks to facts can
attempt to contend that the Under
wood tariff law reduced the price of
sugar to the consumer. AS soon as
its discouraging effect upon American
sugar producers became known
through reports of reduced American
acreage, the price advanced to point
higher than it had been before the I'm
derwood law took effect, and it has
remained higher ever since.
