company. ONE Of the largest beet
sugar producers in the world, has
prospered enormously since the
war lifted raw sugar prices to
the highest level of years. The
common stock. of which there is
$40, ,544. 600 outstanding. has adj
vanced from SO last September
to the present market Of 200.
There is likewise $13, $50. 600 Z
per cent preferred outstanding.
the authorized amount of each is

lean Sugar Refining Go is a sub
tantial minority stockholder.
Great Western Sugar has paid
common dividends of 5 per cent
since January 1910. The compa-
ny issue no financial statements,
but it is said on authority that
the 1915 earnings were safely
over so per cent on the common
stock. For the current year, if
sugar prices hold. the company
may easily earn $40 a share.
Great Western had approximate-
| ly $40, OOO, 600 cash on hand at
the beginning of the present
year and about the same amount
in sugar. It is likely that cur
rent liabilities were small. so that
the excess current assets were
probably equal to 5000 per share
on the common stock.

Washington Letter
By Edward Heating

By Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
The bill to repeal the free sugar
provision of the Underwood tar
iff bill, has encountered a formid-
able snag in the United States
Senate. Senator Thomas of Colo
and Senator Hardwick of Georgia
led the fight against the bill and
the Democratic senatorial caucus
agreed on compromise by which
a tariff of one cent a pound will
be- continued for three years from
May 1st, 1916. After that su-
gar is to go on the free list.
The sugar interests will con-
tinue their campaign for the
House bill which would insure
the retention of the tariff bill for
all time. but they cannot win un-
less the Sugar-D Democrats in the
Senate form a combination with
the high-protective Republicans,
Such coalition Is being discuss
ed.
ROBBING THE FARMER.
In the meantime lot of ugly
facts are coming to surface to
plague the friends of the Sugar
trust.
For example: 1t is asserted on
what seems unimpeachable au-
thority, that the farmers of
France and Austria are receiv-
ing from fifty to seventy per
cent more than the America n
Farmers for their beets.
During the closing days of the
last Congress l delivered a speech
on the theme. How the Sugar
trust Robs the Farmer. in which
l endeavored to point out that the
Sugar interests .e used to per-
nit the farmers to share the high
prices which the consumers were
paying for sugar. The friends
of the Sugar trust, in and out of
Congress, denounced me. but
none of the sugar companies eth
or increased the price charged
the consumers for their lgar.
They continued to impartially
rob both producer and consumer,
and only paused in their operati-
ons long enough to shout " more
tariff"

SOME COMPARATIVE
PRICES.

nloCO,
According to the best informa-
ton l can obtain the average
price paid American farmers for
sugar beets is $3.50 per ton.
On Feb. 18th, 1916 the Aus
train Government issued an Of
fetal decree directing that there
after sugar factories should pay
farmers s.. IL per ton for sugar
beets.
At about the same time. the
government Of France ordered
the sugar factories to pay the
farmers $9.65 per ton for their
beets.
Probably similar DEGREES have
issued in Germany and Russia,
but the evidence is not at hand.
However. the testimony from
France and Austria is sufficient.
In those countries refined sugar
undoubtedly commands as higha
price as in this country but the
governing powers compel the fac
tories to share their gains with
the producers. In this country
we permit the factories to pocket
the lions share of the profits
while the farmers continue to re-
ceive for their beets the prices
which prevailed before the war.

The Country Doctor.

The world owes a lot to the
country doctor. His chest may
not be decorated with a Carnegie
medal. wealth hut seldom comes
to him and his honors are faw.
but no man does more for human
ity than the country doctor. Al
ways ON the alert to answer the
summons of the sick, he makes
long drives, in the dead of winter
battling against the cold and bad
roads to arrive in time to stave
off death and relieve suffering
and distress. He has no regular
hours; he knows no holidays; he
eats when and where he can.
Often poorly paid, and not unrar
ly not paid at all. he always does
his best. Unselfish and with the
first thought of others. he often
breaks down and uEdermin es his
own health to pull his patients
through q crisis. Unhonored,
unwept and unsung may be said
of him In many cases. And yet
who is deserving of more praise?
He ushers US into the world.
eases our pain in life and makes
our final exit as peaceful as pos
sible. Yes. the world owes a
whole lot to the little old country
doctor.-Ex

Columbus, Miss, January 15.-Practi- caly all the stock necessary for the erec- tion of modern creamery in Columbus has been subscribed, and work on the building will commence at an early date. The company was organized through the efforts of A. H. Taylor, manager of a large creamery at Okolona, and while MT. Taylor will not be in active charge of the local plant, he will maintain general supervision over it, making frequent visits to Columbus to direct it's operation. The but a local man will probably be selected for that position.

BUSINESS COUNCIL
 OF NEW CHAMBER
 TO BE COMPLETED
President Bush to Hasten Survey of Birmingham District-WOrk to
 Be Outlined for Year

Morris Bush president of the Cham Der of Commerce, intends to hasten the compilation of data for a survey of conditions in the Birmingham dis trict as compared with other cities of approximately the same size and class. President Bush stated yesterday that this would be one of the first matters given attention after the work for the
 coming year gets under way. It is probable that men may be sent to some of the cities of the south to make a study of conditions there and also visit certain progressive cities in other sections of the country with view to obtaining ideas which might be used to advantage here. Especial attention is to be paid in this survey to the matter of rents, living cond1- tions, sanitation as well as to all mat ters which affect the commercial su- premacy of Birmingham as compared with competing centers in this sec- tion.
 The work of forming the business council of the Chamber of Commerce is to be carried on rapidly and 1t IS expected that at an early date, the various suborganizations will have been completed and the general coun- cil can be formed and officers elected. This council is expected to be one of the most important features of the work of the reorganized chamber. President Bush stated yesterday that he was already working on the mat
 ter of naming committees for the Con- federate Veterans reunion, to be held here in May. These committees will probably be announced during the coming week and the preparations for the reunion will be started immediate ly The tentative dates of May 16, IF and Is have not yet been ratified by the officers of the veterans. but it Is expected that word will be received from them soon Should these dates not be acceptable it is probable that May 23, "A and 25 would be selected.
 A luncheon will be rendered the new board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce at the Tutwiler hotel Mon- day at 12:3O D. m., by President Bush. At this time the members of the board will discuss informally with the presi- dent plans for the work during the wear,
