When TON" Jones was q young

ii must be said that Tom" has sue

to wager that Thoinas hiss never over

when the advertising could be had

and without throwing purse into the

When "Tex' Rickard and Sam
McCracken matched Jesse Willard
and Frank Moran they realized it was
some distance between the date of
matching and the date of the bout.
Consistent adyertising was one Of the
problems they reckoned with at the

You're on shouted Dorgan. He

PRODUCTION TAX WOULD HURT
SUGAR INDUSTRY in HAWAII

Neither of these proposals is secur-
ing any substantial support in Con-
gress, according To the best informa-
ton obtainable, 81 = s..
Sugar men whose opinion was learn
ed this morning are inclined to, doubt
whether the consumption tax or the
Hardwick excise tax plan would hurt
the domestic sugar producers to any
extent. "a. 80
They point out that ultimately the
consumer will pay any increased cost
of the commodity, and that the injury
to the producers will be very indirect
and probably not large. OF course It
is recognized that any Increase in
the cost of a staple tends to decrease
the consumption OF that staple some
what, but sugar is such necessity
and the natural demand is increasing
so steadily that a rise in price is not
expected seriously to ctrtail the de-
mand.

RICHEST CARGO
OF SUGAR soon
TOBE ON OCEAN
Freighter Mexican to Take
1900 Tons, Valued at Ap-
proximateIy ST, ,562, 900

The American-Hawaiian steamer
Mexican will sail about next Tuesday
from Hilo with what is believed to be
the richest raw sugar cargo ever put
afloat. At the present market price
the Mexican's cargo will be worth ap-
proximately $1,560 900, and If sugar
keeps rising, by the time the cargo
reaches destination many more thous-
and dollars will be added TO its value.
A few days ago the Louisiana Plant
er pointed with pride TO the fact that
the freighter OrmistoE had left Cien-
fuegos with some 10000 long tons of
Cuban sugar. Ihis was said 10 be one
of the biggest cargoes of the product
ever floated, but the Hawaiian ship
ments beat it "all hollow"
Since the American-Hawaiian freight.
ers have been making the short voy-
age to San Francisco instead OF the
long voyage around South America by
Magellan, through the Panama Canal,
their oil consumption per voyage has
been much decreased and they can
carry considerably larger sugar ship
ments than formerly. Hence 1916 is
setting new cargo records.
Where vessels were carrying $4,000
tons before they are now taking much
over 1900.
The Alaskan sailed on March from
Hilo with 3,4D0 tons. With sugar
then at 5.27 her cargo was valued ap-
proximately at s1,410,000. The Mexi-
can viii go out about Tuesday with
her 1900 tons, which, at $40, means
nearly $1.562, 1000.

the so-ealled Lowry plan-and the
excise tax to be paid by refineries.
This latter Is the Hardwick plan. ex-
planned by Senator Hardwiek Of Geor-
gia today before the senate finance
committee.
Under the Lowry plan the producer
of sugar was to pay an internal reye-
nue. tax. This manifestly would have
been a blow to the raw sugar indus
try of Hawaii, for the production OF
sugar would cost just as much more
as the amount Of the tax and no bet
ter price would be secured from the
refiners.
The Hardwick plan proposes to
raise the needed revenue for the
country by an excise instead of a Gus
toms tax. the excise tax to be paid BY
the reIineries, whereas the customs
tax is of course paid by the importers.

WAILUkU, March 23.-Pineapple
planters who have been considering
increasing their acreage on account
OF the heavy falling off In the pack,
which was believed to assure better
prices, are again In doubt A report
IS now current that Great Britain has
recently placed an absolute embargo
on all kinds of canned fruits, and that
this Is likely to very markedly effect
prices for the coming season.
y II Is not only that the sales OF pine
apple In England will be cut off, IL
tliis report is true, important as these
sales have been, but the report has
n that the California fruit contracts
have been cancelled by the embargo.
thus throwing a tremendous lot of
the product back on the United States
for consumption. II is now argued
that this viii break the prices of all
canned fruits.
Commenting today on the foregoing
report. r. w. Maefarlane. president
and agent OF Libby, MCNEIL and Lib
by, said:
s'f have not been advised definitely
that Great Britain has recently placed
an absolute embargo on oil canned
fruit and, as regards the effect in the
event that Great Britain did place
this embargo on canned fruits, ques-
fion very much II this would have any
effect on moving our pack, as we
have now more orders in hand than
We can find shipping accommoda
for, and believe that other pineapple
packers here are similarly situated. !"
Mr. Maefarlane added that he has
had no information from San Fran
cisco to the effect that any fruit con-
tracts In California have been can
celed by reason Of the purported en-
barge.
Regarding an increase in acreage,
ne said that the packers here are
now inclined to limit their planting
areas.
