.BROUSSARD WOULD
END DRAWBACKS TO
AID SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Tells Senate of $20,0O0,OOO
Paid Out, SS Per Cent Is
for Cane Product.
By Paul WOotOn.


Washington, July of the
500, 900, 600 of customs backs
which probably will be paid IN
1916 not more than $1,5O0,0OO
will be repaid to exporters OF other
products than those containing
sugar. This fact was brought out
by Senator Broussard when he ap.
peared today before the Senate
finance committee urging the abol.
ishmant of draw backs during the
continuance of the war. AS eigh-
ty-eight per cent of drawbacks
are paid on account of sugar, the
abolition of this privilege would
act as an important aid to the
domestic sugar industry. 1t also
would add the $50, 900, 600 to the
federal income.
Senator Broussard recommends
ed that this form of taxation take
the place of proposed taxes on
banks, amusements and a certain
class of alcoholic beverages.
Since these items would raise $1O,-
900, 900 Senator Broussard sug.
gested that other items be selected
for elim,ration to make up the
$40, 100000 which would be saved.
Members of the committee ask
ed many questions and showed q
decided interest in the proposal
which they characterized as unique
and interesting. ng.-Times- Picayune

China's Grand Canal.

China is reported to be considering
the restoration of the old canal sys-
tenn, of which there were at one time
$4,000 miles within the empire Cen
turtles before the Christian era the
great rivers of China were diverted
from their natural courses, the waters
of one turned into anothers bed and
the waterways carried along in the di-
rection of desired traffic.
The ancient Grand Canal extends
from Hangchow to Tien-tsin, trayers-
ing the provinces of Chekiang.
Kaingsu, Shangtung and Chilli, the
total length being about $50 miles.
China is in desperate need of trans
portation facilities, and it has been es-
timated by engineers that the canal
system can be restored at a less cost
than that which would be involved in
the building of the necessary railways
With the canals again in operation the
railway building can go on at greater
leisure.-Christian Herald.

OUR AMERICAN VERDUN.

The world is naturally shocked at
the immense losses before Verdun and
along the Somme. Yet, last year, the
statistics gave the deaths from tuber-
culosis within the registration area"
of the United States as 9s,194. The
area mentioned comprises about 81 per
cent of the population OF the country.
Happily, the progress in conquering
this malady, says Leslie's, has made
remarkable strides in late years. Since
1904, the annual death-rate from tu-
berculosis has diminished by nearly
rs per cent.
OF all causes of death. the various
forms of heart disease lead, with a
mortality of 1O5, 200 within the regis
tration area in 1915. Pneumonia fol-
lows tuberculosis, while Bright's dis
easeand cancer come next. The DEATH
rate from cancer has arisen steadily
from SO per 100000 in 1900 to 81
per 100000 in 1915. A prevention cam
paign is now being vigorously prose-
cuted that should produce good re-
suits. One prominent physician has
said that SO out of every 100 cancer
cases terminating fatally could have
been cured if attended to at the first
signs of trouble. In the sphere of
accidents the safety first campaign
has achieved most encouraging results
The deaths from railway accidents
in the registration area were $3.50 in
1915, which is the lowest on record
for the last decade, while similar de-
creases are shown for street-car fatali-
ties and deaths due to mine and ma
chinery accidents. Automobile acct
dents caused 3,97S deaths in 1915 Fa-
talities from this source have increas-
ed in rate from year to year, but the
increase has not been so rapid as that
in the number of machines in use
Despite the efforts frequently made
to connect suicides with abnormalities
in social conditions. the rate of deaths
from that cause has shown scarcely
any variation during the past ten
years. The total number of suicides
reported in 1915 was 11,216, or 1877
per 10000 population.

TALK WILL DO TT.

There isn'e a doubt that the MEM
bers of the Houseof Representatives
and the Senate will be able to point to
important changes in the price of food
staples before they cease their discus
sion of the cost of living, says the
Cleveland Leader, provided that they
make the most of their opportunities.
All they have to do is to talk long
enough.
If they pour out speeches. frame
resolutions and introduce bills until
the latter part of January, for in
stance, the hens will knock the bottom
out of the market for strictly fresh
eggs" Even before that time the new
crop of oranges and grapefruit will
affect the price of various fruits. 1t
is quite certain that lettuce and rad
ishes will come down before the mid
die of February.
OF course, all this will be the work
of nature. but for political purposes
it does not matter much, at certain
times, whether one thing happens be-
cause of another, if they only take
place together. a coincidence can be
made to serve as well as a conse-
quence.

WHY WAGES HAVE RISEN.

Immigration during the twelve
months ending June 80, 1916, dropped
to the lowest figure in more than a
decade, the total number of aliens adj
mitted to the country being 29S, 1926
The next lowest mark was for the fis-
cal year 1914-15-326,700 For the ten
years from 1905 to 1914, the latter
year ending one month before the Eu-
ropean war started, immigration to
the United States averaged 1,O12,194
annually.
Not only has there been a great de-
cline in immigration but foreign horn
men have returned to Europe in large
numbers to fight FOR their respective
countries. These facts probably ac-
count for scarcity of labor and con-
sequent higher wages as much as does
the increased demand for American
products of the farm and factory and
inject an element of doubt into the
theory that the employers are paying
their employees more money owing to
the high cost of living. Generally
speaking wages are based in the mar
ket price of the labor performed
which is regulated by the law of sup
ply and demand.

No industry is more seriously
threatened by the extravagant rise IN
the prices of raw materials than the
printing and publishing business. Pc
riodicals must suddenly pay, in 1917,
from rs to 100 per cent more for their
raw material-paper-t in any
year for the last decade. The federal
trade commission report in its remarks
on the mill costs of paper manufac-
ture made the striking statement that
during the first half of 1916, when the
prices of paper to the consumer were
soaring. the cost of producing the pa
per was actually less than it had been
at any time during the preceding three
years. This remarkable finding in the
face of claims by the manufacturers
that the prices of their raw materials
had risen extravagantly. is explained
by the following facts: The ingre-
dients for which the mill had to pay
higher prices made up only a small
percentage of the aggregate cost fac

1t is seldom that new senators take
their seats at the opening of a short
session of congress. This year, how
ever, there are three such cases. Sena-
tor Kirby, Democrat, takes the
place of the late Senator Clarke
of Arkansas, Senator Fernald, Re
publican, occupies the seat of
the late Senator Burleigh of Maine,
and Senator Watson, Republican, of
Indiana, supplants Senator Taggart
who had been appointed by the gov
ernor at the time of Senator Shive-
Tvs death. The last named case rep
resents a gain for the Republicans,
while the politics of the Senators
from Arkansas and Maine remains as
before
