NEEDS
BEET SUGAR

The Chicago Herald, discussing the
need of revenue, says:
cit is evident that the incoming
Congress will have 20 find new sources
Of revenue, or recur to former sources
a. well as economic, in order TO cover
the deficiencies created by its prede-
eessor. if a bond issue in time OF
peace is to be avoided. Recurrence ia
a fruitful source is suggested by q
news item stating that s~ixty-three GER
tainly, and sixty-seven possibly, OF the
seventy-eight beet sugar plants will
operate this year, with a beet acreage
increase of 80 per cent. These plants,
directly and Indirectly employing many
thousands of people, are going on be-
cause the var has kept up sugar prices
to a living rate. A year ago about
half of them expected to close down
permanently. The time is opportune
to look ahead, regain the revenue from
sugar imports and help to bring about
ultimate lower prices to consumers by
increasing permanent supply
The folly of levying war taxes in
time of peace while throwing away the
large revenue derived from sugar is
pointed out by the Detroit Free Press,
as follows:
cit (Congress) should not invite
ridicule by insisting upon levying
stamp taxes and refusing to levy taxes
by customs duties because of supposed
Inconsistency about protection. If the
imports will yield the desired revenue,
take the from the imports re-
CARELESS of the name of the practice.
Why should the American people be
puttering with sticky bits of paper
when a universally utilized source of
revenue, the sugar duty, is not only
available but is actually in use and
needs but to be perpetuated by repeal
ing the action of the last Congress
about its'
The advantages Of a tariff upon
sugar from the viewpoint of revenue
requirements are clearly explained by
the Erie (Pa. Dispatch;
"During the year ending March /
last, notwithstanding the reduction of
25 per cent in import duty, sugar
brought, in round figures, $50 GOO 900
into the Federal treasury. Not only
was this by many times the largest
amount yielded by any single item in
the entire list of d~uty-paying articles,
but the return from sugar was main
tanned at its normal volume at a time +,
when receipts from other staple arti-
cles in the tariff list We're dropping far
below their customary level. The re
turns under the reduced rate of duty

feet show that approximately $50,000,-
00t more of annual revenue will be
sacrificed by the government with the
admission of foreign sugar free of duty
in 1916. With a deficit practically GER
tain at the close of the present fiscal
year on June 30, and the necessity of
continuing large expenditures for gov
ernmental requirements, the further
loss of this $50, 900 900 will add serious

to Kansas from a trip to the Pacific
coast, states that the Progressives of
this part of the country are in no way
discouraged and will join the members
of their party in other states in putting
a full ticket in the field. II is possible
that the Progressives may have an or.

probable that the party will be able
to muster sufficient strength to hold q

he was not going to the meeting, for
he had nothing to give in the mat

the point. The building Of the high

somebody. We stated last week our
plan, and lie we couldn't assist our

nav some one else to assist. IL might
have been this very man. who seems
BY his opposition to be preventing
himself from securing job. Jobs are
needed in this county just now. and
this highway would set at least some
of the jobless to work. But it is no
use to say anything. Some people are
stone blind and deaf.

TO AVOID FRICTION.

The county court, alleged to avoid
friction, did not discuss plans for the
securing of the Dixie Highway thru
this county. This was mistake, as
70 our mind, the county court can
solve the problem, and avoid the nee
ossity Of attempting TO issue $500. 600
bonds. which will be defeated if left
to a vote of the people, However,
members of the court brought up a
very important question when they
discussed the proper taxation Of Hale's
Bar Dam, which in an advertisement
before us is quoted as costing $40, 600, :
OOO If the proper valuation for taxa
ton can be placed on this property,
and also on any coal property which
is not assessed sufficiently high, we
can afford to issue bonds, for the extra
tax would meet them without extra
burden to the general tax payers.
There is no reason why this county
should suffer for good roads, and mon
ey-making corporations escape taxa
tion.
Another point. Is the County Court
40 excitable that it cannot consider
questions of public moment without
rancor and irritation Looking over
the body there seems to be pretty
level headed men in the body, men
who conduct their own business
smoothly and evenly, and why is it
that question of plans for securing
such an Improvement as great high
way thru county cannot be discussed
in it, for fear of stirring up strife.
This is childishness, gentlemen, and
not craftsmanship. The result is that
if the governors ask for a definite plan
OF a sistance from Marion county,
there is nothing to offer, except that
bonds are authorized by the legisla-
ture, and at the present rate Of taxa
ton the people are unwilling to al
low the county to be re-bonded to
any excessive amount. The ONLY
thing promised is the statement of
the Chattanooga Times that $500, 900
bonds will be issued, aud Mr.. James
seems to think that is not a definite
offer.
