SOME IMPARTIAL
TESTIMONY

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has absolutely nothing to do with
import tariffs and it is entirely non
partisan, But 1t sometimes says
things that have a political bearing.
For example, in deciding the case of
Swift & Company against the Atlantic
Coast Railroad Company, the COM
mission started its recital of the facts
by saying that lin October, 1913, COM
plainant commenced the importation
of fresh meats through the port of
New York" 1t will be remembered
that the Democratic tariff law went
into effect on October 3, 1913. Impor-
tation of meat began Immediately. as
the Interstate Commerce Commission
advises US; and. as we know without
anybody telling us. farmers had trou-
BILE selling their cattle. though the
consumer bought his meat at no
smaller price than before. 1t is well
to remember the date when Swift &
Company began importing fresh meat
through the port of New York.

SUGAR M LEMONS

Along about September. 1914, the
beet sugar industry in the United
States was in a %precarious condition
The Democrats had passed a tariff
law reducing the duty on sugar 25
per cent, and stating it for the free
list in May, 1916. This had been done
at the behest of the seaboard sugar
refners, who were huge contributors
to the Democratic campaign fund, in
order that they might purchase their
raws from Cuba, add part of the re-
duction in duty to their margin OF
profit, and use some of it to destroy
the eastern market of the western
beet sugar men. The Democrats
Dragged that before framing the bill
Mr.. Wilson had rid Washington of
the tariff lobbyists-and so he had,
so far as the protection lobbyists
were concerned, although at least
two large Hobbies for free trade had
access to the back door of the ways
and means committee rooms. They
were the seaboard refners and the
Italian importers of Sicilian lemons.
The western beet sugar states, par
ticularly Colorado and Utah. raised
an awful howl when the bill became
a law, and California had a ft when
she saw the reduction which had
been made on lemons. Sugar and
lemons! 1t was not intended to give
the lemon aid, but it was intended
that the sugar refining trust should
get a sugar plum.
But it was quickly discovered that
the acknowledgements law was a
failure as a revenue producer. For
a time the Democrats were in a guam
Diary. And they the war broke out
and gave everybody an opportunity.
The Democrats Cancelled the provis-
AOA " AAVC~llot ouSdl 1853 lAdh d
week before that provision would
have taken effect. They needed the
revenue which sugar produced. We
o became huge exporters of sugar
because soldiers are large consumers
of this article. For example, the
value of our exports OF sugar for the
nine months ended September of this
year totaled 1890 900, compared
with $1,285. 900 worth during the first
nine months of September. 1913. I'm
portations of lemons decreased near
ly so per cent, while expectations
nearly doubled. There was a crying
need for them in the hospitals of the
hostile powers.
How quickly a little prosperity will
cause human kind to forget previous
adversely! Colorado and Utah, which
had cried vengeance from heaven on
the mar who drove Congress to the
adoption of a f-ree-sugar clause,
turned right around and voted him
into power for another four years.

Life of Circus Girls Healthy and Moral


What about the circus girl? Isn't she
an impossible person, Of hard face and

In the host OF nearly 400 persons
who are attached to the Barnum 4
paiIev circus this season nearly 400 Of
them are young women. either ring
nerforners or ballet girls. Hence il
can easily be understood that the wo-

As matter of fact the majority of
circus girls are the most refreshing.

the girls of the circus and the ordi-

life Of the circus girl is in the open,
where she has better opportunity to

Life behind the red curtain which

reading and writing and instructinS
their young children. Nobody molests
them. no profanity is allowed to
reach their ears. and the atmosphere

respectable as il would be in the best
