Sugar to Vie With Preparedness
in the Fights Before Lawmakers

In 1915 the net revenue from sugar
was s45 100000. The democrats con-
tend that but for the war, with its
disturbance of commerce and curtaiI-
ment Of customs receipts, the treasury
would not have needed the sugar
revenue
On the other hand, the republicans
are loudly proclaiming that the demo-
Gratis are admitting and rectifying a
serious error In their tariff revision Of
1913. when they passed the Wilson
Underwood bill. Both political fac
tIOns are making the utmost capital
OF this situation for this years presi-
dental campaign purposes.
The present one-cent-a-pound duty
is about half a cent less than that of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act The
wilson Underwood bill proposed to
take of the tariff piecemeal, leaving
free sugar TO become effective May ] q.
Many democrats are opposing out
IlSHl I'b'di, lIstedu, lICSH-
mite SUSPENSION OF the free sugar pro-
viso. so that when war conditions be-
come adjusted sugar can be made duty
free without cumbersome legislation.
They also believe such course
would minimize republican charges
that they admit having made basic
error. Republicans in both the SEN
fte and house are for the democratic
resolution to continue the present
duty. But they insist first on taunt-
ing the democrats for the alleged mis-
take. Passage of the duty-continuing
resolution, with both parties voting
for it. is regarded assured eventually.

Tariff experts say the repeal of free
sugar will not affect the present retail

partial tariff reduction already has
been felt, they declare.

ing that the present duty OF approx
imately one cent pound shall be con-
tinued on sugar Is an administration
measure. urged by President Wilson
in his opening message to congress
last December. Because OF declining

The administration leaders In Con-
gress today are contending that the
war makes necessary continuance or

single source OF custom duty revenue.

sugar industry, both cane and beet. Is

the present duty. With the one-cent-

Political effects are bound up in the
sugar question. Following the Lou
isiana cane growers declaration that
free sugar" would ruin them, a pro-
gressive congressman was elected last
year from that rockbound democratic
state
An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the sugar tariff. Presi-
dent Wilson himself. il is said, was
most insistent upon making sugar
duty free. Senator Underwood. then
house leader, bitterly opposed it, but

Free Text Book

The school board met the latter
part of last week and purchased
books for all the pupils of the
school to and including the
eighth grade.
The board took this plan and
will pay for the books, one third
of the amount each year for
three years, paying6 per cent on
deferred payments, rather than
buying what it could pay for and
leaving so many of the pupils
to wait one and two years for
their books.
There was a large number OF
k-house representatives here,
among whom our old friend John
P. Coleman appeared to no dis
advantage in no particular and
the board gave him a fair share
of the business.

James T. Rucker Dead

James T. Rucker of Lewisburg
w. Va, died Sunday evening
after an illness of several years.
During the eighties he was
we'll and favorably known in
this county having taught school
at several points and our school
as we'll as high schools in Linn
and Audrian counties.
For years he was the head OF
a West Virginia State institution
but his health became such as
to force him to resign the posi-
ton.
He was the father of Hon. R.
w. Rucker and Miss Anna Parks
Rucker and a brother of con-
gresham Rucker and a man OF
great literary attainments.

Who Started It?

There was a rumor that Judge
Rucker had intimated that he
would not be a candidate to sue
ceed himself two years hence
which get in the air tho evident
dy not in a current moving in
any particular direction.
Any suggestion that Judge
Rucker would not again be in
the race must have sprung from
some interested source, other
than himself, for he has said
nor intimated nothing warran.
ting such a conclusion.
We are safe in saying that
when Judge Rucker determines
to retire from politics he will
take the public into his conf.
dence and render it unnecessary
for those who desire that he gel
out to speculate on his intentions
and future action.

the letter he received from Hon.

August II, 1916.
Hon. R. F. Lozier,
Carrollton, Missouri.
Dear Mr.. Lozier:
Your letter of August 7th.
congratulating me upon my nom-
ination at the recent primary,
was forwarded from Keytes-
vile and reached me here in
due time.
Conscious of the fact that
neither myself nor any friend
who gave me support uttered
one word or did a single act dur
ing the campaign which would
justly cause any fair-minded
man to feel the least resent
ment or harbor a suspicion that
unfair methods were employed
to secure my nomination, / was
not surprised at the receipt of
your cordial letter of congratula-
tions and assurance of support.
l assure you l appreciate the
tone of the letter you wrote me.
My pleasure over being the
nominee Of the splendid Demo-
crary Of the second district Of
Missouri, to which / am proud
to confess most profound obliga-
tions, is diminished only by the
knowledge that my success at
the primary necessarily means
the disappointment of another
who entertained laudable ambi-
tions.
Thanking you for your letter
and with kind regards, | beg to
remain
Very respectfully,
w. w. Rucker.
