Joyce of the Sugar company, so
is talking about. The article
Lake Evening Telegram:
million dollar (ncluding the water)
sugar industry; but we can't say
continental thing about the regulation
of the price of our product. It's
shame, brothers, but the brokers' got
our goat, and if we open our choppers
we'll be hog-tied and strangled. In
other words, George is dom it. Blame
Il to George"
OF course humanity has been trifing
so long that all this insanity about
brokers and buccaneers and freight
rates and markets and Missouri river
points and Cuba and Honolulu sorta
stampedes our sensibilities whenever
we attempt to start an argument with
the grocer.
But, all jokes aside, WHO TOLD
THE UTAH-IDAHO SUGAR COM
PANY TO TANGLE UP WITH A
BUNCH OF, HIGHWAY ROBBERS?
WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT BRO
KERS AND BUCCANEERS AND
FREIGHT RATES AND MARKETS
AND MISSOURI RIVER POINTS
AND CUBA AND HONOLULU
WHEN THE HARD-WORKING PEG
PIE OF UTAH HANDED OVER
THEIR HARD EARNED LUCRE. IN
ORDER THAT A SUGAR FACTORY
MIGHT BE BUILT FOR THE BENZ.
FIT OF THE PEOPLE OF UTAH?
WAS THERE ANY CLAUSE IN
THE AGREEMENT WHICH IN ANY
WAY, COULD BE CONSTRUED AS
GIVING A FEW MONEY-GRAP.
BERS THE RIGHT TO DOUBLE
CROSS THE MEN AND WOMEN
WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR A
SUGAR FACTORY TO BE BUILT
IN THIS STATE.
DURING TIVE MANY. MANY
YEARS THAT THE BOOSTERS or

IN BEHALF OF THE HOME MAN

SUSPECTED THE BIGGEST HOME

OF BEING TRAITOR TO COMMON
SENSE AND ETHICAL DECENCY?
Granting, even, that the Utah Idaho
Sugar company is the poor little slave
OF the Interests, which the author Cor
the father of "Facts About the Sugar
Industry claims IL to be; and grant
ing that the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany is part and portion, however in
intestinal, of colossal grating in
stitution, whose business it is to keep
up the price of sugar, irrespective Of
certain inactive laws, framed for the
purpose of placing an everlasting
shackle upon capitalistic robbery: and
granting that the ultimate consumer
is laundering bonehead-granting all
of these things-there still remains
happy solution to the high-price
problem which is, today, supposedly
paining the officials of the Utah Idaho
Sugar company.
The Utah-Idaho Sugar company
CAN sell sugar cheaper than it is sell.
ing it today, and, still make money
The Utah-Idaho Sugar company can
see to it that every consumer in the
state of Utah pay not more than 81 a
hundred pounds for sugar, and still
make money--make coolies of money.
And the manner in which the Utah
Idaho Sugar company CAN do these
things is so simple that, really, it is to
laugh that the men who have, or who
are supposed to have, the interests of
the people so much at heart, did not
get wise" to the idea long before the
price of sugar began its reckless, it's
disgraceful fight:
If it pleases the sugar company to
be chained, body and soul, to some
Manhattan hold-up or other, then let
the sugar company continue in chains
the sugar company can still fake
Christianity and cease robbing the
people. HOW?
The Utah-Idaho Sugar company can
get down to actualities; it can adjust
its condition to harmonic with the
semblance of veracity, at least, by
taking up and pooling its watered
stock and by placing the dividends
from that stock, at its present earn
ing capacity, at the disposal Of the
sugar consumer. The dividends from
the watered stock of the Utah Idaho
Sugar company alone would go long
way toward feeding sugar to all Utah
during famine. The method is sim
Pile, the solution sure, and the Inter
ests will discover no logical reason
for making "kick"
If were the sugar company and the
sugar company were yours truly, there
were a sugar company which would
touch match to every mill within the
boundry lines of Utah, and trust Ia
