SUGAR TARIFF RESTORED
The bill retaining the tariff Of
one-cent a pound on sugar has
passed the House Of Representa-
tives. 1t must now ran the
gauntlet Of the Senate where it
will be vigorously opposed. /
spoke for free sugar. " as had
promised to do in two campaigns
in Colorado. r
The debate developed some
facts which should be placed be-
fore the people and which are
of peculiar interest to the sugar,
beet farmers of the west.
The sugar factories are earning
enormous profits, but the sugar
beet farmer is not sharing the
prosperity and the consumer is
paying record prices for the fin
ished product.
Last October, when everyone
imagined sugar would go on the
free list it was selling freely on
the New York market for 81 go
per hundred. Then Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo announced
that he believed the tariff should
be retained and the price begs n !
to climb. The last quotation |
saw was Sc. 50 per hundred. an
advance Of 81 60 since the Secre-s
tary made his announcement.
The effect Of this on the stock
OF the sugar companies may be
judged from the following:
On March /, 1914, the prefer
red stock of the Great Western
Sugar Company was selling fer
$91 a share and the common
stock-practically all water
for $45 a share. On March 2nd,
1916. this watered stock was quo
ted at 81. 6S bid and 81. 70 asked,
an increase of between S123 and
$133 per share. :
This meant, a profit of approx
mately $15. .000000to the fortunate
owners of the watered stock Of
this company. The preferred
stool, also advanced $25 or $50 a
share, thus putting additional
millions in the Golfers of the su-
gar magnates,
The Onomea Sugar, Company
Of the Hawaiian Islands has just
issued a statement showing that
in 1915 it earned so per cent on
it's stock. and other Hawaiian su-
gar companies have made simi-
lar showings. h
Down in Porto Rico the benz
ficiaries Of the sugar tariff are,
also waxing rich. The South
Forto Rico Sugar Company capi-
talized for 50, 000. 0o0, half pre-
ferred and half common the lat
ter probably all water-is earn
ing 8 per cent on the preferred
ard SO per cent on the common.
OLher Porto Rican Companies
have done equally well.
Isn't 1t about time for tie sugar
beet farmer to get a little more
for his raw product, on whi1.l all
this prosperity is base d?
When the RE CT -four at,'-
vances the man who raises wheat
generally benefits to marked
extent. and SO with other pr,-
d. cts of Il e farm and range.
Why should the beet sugar
farmer be an ex option. and why
should we grant protection" to
an industry in which the distri-
button of profits is SO one sided?
