Rere,Ual of Sugar Tariff

ID OBERT F. BROUSSARD, United States
IN senator-elect of Louisiana, who is about to
take Office, is already waging campaign for the
restoration of the duty on sugar as the best meth
cd of improving the financial condition of the
federal treasury and of restoring prosperity to
the sugar planters of his State A good protec-
tive tariff argument comes from this Democrat
representing Democratic State, 1T remains to
be seen whether the Wilson administration, con-
fronted it is with serious deficit in the treas
ury because receipts from both the income tax
and the special war tax have proved to be much
less than they were estimated, will change front
and utilize the opportunity to raise revenue by
tariff on sugar, says the Tacoma Ledger.
Beginning early in 1914 the tariff on sugar was
reduced twenty-five per cent, and if the present
law stands sugar will be admitted without any
duty at all beginning in May, 1916 .,4
Senator-elect Broussard sees an opportunity to
drive his point home, now that the government
lacks revenue and is likely to lack it more seri7
ously if present industrial conditions continue.
Industrial conditions reduce incomes and hence
income taxes, AT the same time they reduce spe-
cal war taxes based on business activities.
Mr.. Broussard combats the notion that the Eu-
ropean war has increased the price of sugar to
prevailing figures in the United States by declar-
ing that right now sugar marketed by the sugar
trustp sells for less in the war-strcken countries
tii4n| it does in the United States.
At first the war tax to yield at least $780,
100000. Then the estimate came down to $780,
100000. But collections show this estimate too
HIGH for now the secretary of the treasury figures
that the war tax will yield approximately $54-
100000 for the fiscal year 1915. The income tax
will yield $42O00,O00 less than was estimated
The shortages in these two taxes as Mr. Brous-
sard sees it, accounts for the treasury deficiency
of approximately $80OOOOOO. Under the twenty
FIVE per cent reduction in the sugar tariff he says
the sugar trust has profted to the extent Of about
$l8,OO0,O00 so far without benefit to American
consumers. Tariff receipts from sugar used to
yield over $5oOoOO0O year.
Mr.. Broussard says the government may in
crease the income tax, may re-enact and increase
the special war tax, or it may issue bonds But
better than any of these plans, he thinks would
be return to the time honored system of col
lectng taxes articles that can bear the duty,
particularly when the remission of the duty does
not cheaper the price to the consumer, is the
case with sugar" y
The Democratic administration is in a tight
place financially, and Mr. Broussard tells it Of
one way to get out

GAG Rule REGARDING war

IF The advertiser reads the political 'handwrit-

wide defense" agitation needed only the recent
war department ofaer.which forbids army officers
to discuss the military situation in the United
States and abroad, to make the question bona
6de campaign ISSUE w. = t%.
II ever in our national lifetime public opinion
has needed the advice and counsel of military
and naval experts that day has now come. The
defense" problem is the burning question Of the
times. Public men, the press and the business
interests of the nation are demanding investiga-
tions today and the voters will demand settle
ment of the,probiem in the coming months. For
the administration 70 ignore this vital national
question Is nothing but political folly and to top
this by establishing a Pgag rule for. the army
and navy is to commit political hari-kari.
Commenting editorially on the latest political
faux pas Of the administration the Boston Tran7
script says: ~ u &C. -
That "pitiless publicity" which Mr.. Wilson, the
candidate, so constantly preached, has proved in
practice throughout his presidency censorship
as stupid in some respects as that against which
the English people are protesting today The
latest evidence Of it comes from the war depart-
ment, and the order thence issued by Secretary
HARRISON bears the wilson DranQ IL pIonlDltS
officers OF the army from discussing in any way
''the military situation here or abroad" That a
similar policy prevails in the navy is indicated
by the action Of Secretary Daniels in calling upon
Captain Huse, chief Of staff of the Atlantic fleet
70 explain why, in an official report to the navy
department, he presumed TO comment on some Of
the dangers of our present military policy as it
concerned the navy. In other words, the officers
of the army and navy, whom the peoples money
is literally expended to educate and qualify
perts are for the first time in the history of the
republic, to be subjected to gag rule" formulat-
ed for the purpose of preventing them from tell
ing the people the truth regarding their own army
and navy. AT the outset of the war, discussion
Of the military situation abroad was put under
the ban lest of the belligerents take offense.
There was something to be said in favor of that,
although it has deprived Americans of the benefit
of expert discussion of the one Subject which
vitality interests the whole world This latest
order applying the prohibition 70 the American
military situation is as senseless and arbitrary
as any ever issued BY the war lord Of Germany.
We do not need any assurances from Secretary
Garrison to be confident that it was not promul-
gated on his initiative. The country is now COM
PEELED to rely for. the most part on Messrs. vii
son, Bryan and Daniels for expert information on
military matters. 1t is consoling in these days to
recall Lincolns memorable assurance, "You can't
