FREE SUGAR TAX
REPEAL Is DEBATED

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The I'D.
ministration bill to repeal the free
sugar clause of the Underwood Sim
ons tariff law which would take eff
feet next May, came up for general
debate in the House today and Its
passage is expected tomorrow.
All Of the opposition to the meas
ure today came from three Demo
Gratis, Representatives Bailey Of Penn
sylvania, Heating of Colorado and
vandyke of Minnesota.
Mr.. Bailey, who is regarded as VIII
lam Jennings Bryan's spokesman in
the House, said it was true the coun-
try needed the money to be derived
from retaining the present tariff on
sugar. but that an economical expen-
diture OF public funds would have
made the proposed Hesitation unnec-
essary. Mr.. Heating insisted that
the measure would mean the adding
of a cent a pound to sugar to be di-
vided fifty fifty between the United
States and the sugar trust. Mr.. Van
dyke took a similar position.
Republican speakers twitted the
Democrats about adopting protect.
i've tariff measure. Representative
Longworth Of Ohio formally welco'n-
ed the Democrats into the Repubti-
can party. He said 1t was the frst
time in a century that the entire
membership Of the ways and means
committee had agreed on tariff bill.
Representative Collier Of Mississippi
in opening debate for the bill, cx-
planned that the change in economic
conditions caused by the war made
the repeal necessary.

GETTING THE BUSINESS
OF NEW PEOPLE

One reason why the advertising
game is such leading factor In
modern business Is that population
is so constantly changing.
Years ago people used to settle
down In one place and live there all
their lives. Having grown up in
place, they knew all the merchants
from way back They had some idea
as to who was enterprising and alert
and who was slow and indifferent
Advertising was useful then, but not
SO wholly necessary as now. But
many merchants are still trying to
do business as IL these conditions
still existed.
Nowadays the population Of most
towns is very fuctuatng. If store
is satisfied merely to keep its old
customers, II finds that certain pro.
portion die off each year. A far larS-
er proportion have moved elsewhere
Meanwhile constant influx Of new
people come in. II is a common re-
mark, even in small places, that the
town Is full of new faces.
When a new family comes In, they
Immediately want to know where TO
trade. They know nothing OF the
history or reputation of the merch
ants. The first thing they do IL to
buy a newspaper and find out what
stores are advertising. Usually they
open I'D accounts with merchants
whose notices they have read.
A man may have done business for
n life time In his old location, all OF
it honorable trade. He may have CIV
en- good value all these years, and
have an established circle OF patron
age. The newcomer knows nothing
of all this. Indeed he is little suS-
picious OF old established firms. know
ing that sometimes they live too
much on old reputation.
Business relations made with new.
corners through advertising usually
proves permanent The man who
advertises realizes the necessity OF
making good promises he puts into
print. He gets the cream of the
new trade, and wins the friendship
of new people, who TO less enterpris'
ing merchants are wholly strangers.

THE HIGH
WAR PRICES

A farm supply dealer serving a
rural district was telling the other
day about advances in prices, and
specializing al to who we're BETTING
rich out OF It. He told as an illus
tration the experience of his own
concern with dynamite. Before the
war they bought 1t for 10 cents. Now
they paid 80 cents for the same ar.
ticle.
Early in the war, they had stock
ed up heavily at 10 cents. They con.
tented themselves with advancing the
retail price to only 20 cents. They
felt justified in asking this, as in
many lines, they expected to meet
losses on depreciation of values af.
ter the war.
This is a typical illustration of how
the store located near home, depend
ent on the nearby community, tends
to keep prices steady and keep out
of speculation. But there are many
firms who distribute goods over n
wide area, that would not question a
moment about putting their dyna.
mite up to 35 cents, even had they
had II on hand at old prices. They
take advantage Of all fluctuations.
Some big fortunes will result from
the war in this way.

simply is looking at business in q

red to said, that by keeping the price
of dynamite fairly low, they pleased
their trade, and did one more thing
to build up loyal patronage. Furth-
ermore, had they jumped the price,
the result would have been to check
the use OF dynamite. Farmers had
just begun to buy 1t extensively for
breaking up rough land and high
price would have stopped this in a
large measure. He believed they
would sell more dynamite In five
years by keeping prices moderate.
But there are some business men
who don't see point like that. Per

ter of the present high cost OF gas

ONE BIG CAUSE
OF POVERTY

Figures just published OF the mum
Der OF Industrial accidents in one
state are startling. In Pennsylvania
during the first half Of February, 10,
OPT working people received injuries
or course the great majority would
not cripple the worker. But the fig
ures show either an amazing degree
OF carelessness. or of perilous mach
inery, or mining conditions.
An exchange commenting thereon
remarks that happily compensation
laws afford pecuniary relief to the
workers Of most states now. But
none the less the accidents are tax
on the whole people. The legal com
pensation is charged up to manufac.
turing expense, and we all help pay
for Il Where injuries cripple a
worker, an element of non-supporting
people is created to whose care all
OF us indirectly contribute.
Wherever compensation laws are
now in force, mill owners look out
pretty well to see that machinery Is
well protected. Perils are costly to
the manufacturer now, and are stead
lily being reduced. Removing hazards
from a factory might not cost as
much as single law suit. Proba-
bly, the bulk of the accidents today
occur from the negligence Of opera
tives.
Railroad men In particular are ira
ditionally reckless. Many of the
younger fellows in the business are

Appropriation Deserved.

few Vermont papers are trying to
belirtle the showing made for the state
by Commissioner +. S. Brigham at the
recent National Dairy show. The ar
gument is that state SO rich in agri-
cultural resources should have pre-
9ented a far more elaborate display.
That is true. But place the response
bility where it belongs. Mr.. Brigham
and his associates made surprisingly
line showing with the money available.
1t costs money to gather and stage ex-
hihits of this character. Vermont has
not appropriated a single penny for
such emergencies. The funds given the
department of agriculture are for reg.
ular department purposes. The best
that Mr.. Brigham could do was to let
Vermont 90 without any representa-
ton at all or squeeze out a few dol
lars designed for other work and let
the thousands of dairy show patrons
know that the Green Mountain state is
still on the map The Homestead be-
lieves he acted wisely in taking the lat
ter course. Other states spent thou
sands, while Vermont only expended
hundreds of dollars. Now let those
who were dissatisfied with the state s
showing convince the Legislature, shortly
to convene, that funds should be spe-
cially appropriated for just this sort
Of work. Could Vermont have had
$1,000 for publicity work at the Ma
tional Dairy show it would easily have
been worth $25, 900 New England has

The Reformer is already enlisted to
help Horace r. Graham, when he be-
comes governor, to reduce the number
of commissions which the state sup
ports, but there are two established in
tine past few years which are doing Il
valuable work which should be contin-
ued. The state industrial accident
board IS one of the most useful organ
lzatIons ever known in state history.
1t saves many thousands of dollars
which would be frittered away or
would be grabbed by the lawyers under
the old system. The department of
weights and measures is also almost in
dispensable. The aggregate amount
which 1t saves to consumers is certainly
tenfold more than the commission
costs. Vermont is fortunate in being
one of the states which made an early
start III insisting that weights and
measures were correct. Interests which
would be touched by such a measure,

New Hampshire from securing this
