HENRY FORD CoNTRAsTED
WITH THE SUGAR TRUST

Kanarraville, Utah, Aug. 81, 1916.
Editor Record, Cedar City, Utah;
Dear Sir:-Responding to the invita-
ton of The Record for expressions of
its readers in regard to its position on
the sugar question, the writer, for one,
strongly supports the attitude Of The
Record and other Utah publications In
their stand against the inflated prices
OF sugar and the sugar trust in gen.
eral.
The moral courage to openly de-
nounce combines and trusts Of every
type, detrimental to the welfare Of
the masses, is one Of the most COM
inendable traits Of good citizen. In
fact, no good citizen can be other than
in favor and outspoken In his approval
OF the most good for the most people.
The sugar business of the West is
certainly no longer an infant industry;
but has rather converted itself into
. large extracting machine-bent up
on hlling its Golfers without any re-
spect for the consumers and laboring
classes. II promoters Of the industry
were humanely solicitous of the peo-
pies money to foster the enterprise
for their benefit, why are they now SO
selfish in the matter of the spoils ac-
cruing. from the venture?
ask pardon for incidentally men,
tioning the name of the Church, but
shouldn't members of the Church dis
play more of the spirit Of Give and
let live? With all our boasts Of be-
ing a common brotherhood or teaching
such, it must be humiliating for some
Of US TO think of such men as Mr..
Ford, the automobile manufacturer,
who is willing to share the profits of
his industry with the employees and
patrons. Mr.. Ford doesn't make the
religious professions that members of
our Church do, yet he exemplifies our
teachings In this regard far better
than most Of US. Less profession and
more possession lin good deeds) is the
present demand upon society. The
Records citations Of Holy Writ quite
sufficiently draws the line in this re-
spect.
It Is a significant fact that sugar
took a drop when the present national
administration expressed it's intention
of materially reducing the tariff on
sugar. But when the President and
Congress finally decided that such a
reduction would be detrimental to the
nation, sugar prices went up. Why?
The intelligent people of the nation
can answer.
And I certainly agree with The
Record that the crusade against ex-
tortion in sugar prices of late, of
which The Record has been con-
spicuous champion, has influenced a
decline in prices.
The people need not tamely submit
to the outrages of INSCRIPTIONS cor
porations. Let them assert their
rights and they will finally be respect
ed.
The Records stand is more than
commendable. r. ]. WILLIAMS, JR.

BELIEVES SUGAR COMPANIES
ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Cedar City, Utah, Aug. 26. Friend
Wilkinson.-In the recent issue of
your paper you ask for the expression
of some of our citizens on the Sugar
question and on your fight on this is
sue.
have just a few thoughts that /
would like to offer:
In the first place haven't seen any
howl go up from those settlements
near which sugar factories are located
neither from beet growers, laborers
or consumers. On the contrary have
heard of appeals from other localities
to have more factories established.
Even in our neighboring town, Paro-
wan, l understand that an effort is
being made to get the sugar interests
to establish factory there.
II seems TO me that the case with
the sugar business is not unlike any
other big business. Take the rail-
roads, for instance. For years we
have made efforts to get a railroad
into our section of the country-have
offered bonuses in different ways to
induce the road to build in and yet l
dare say that within year after such
a road should build in we would be
"howling our heads off" for reduction
in rates and other concessions II the
road we're successful, but If II failed
financially we would let the owners
foot the bill.
It seems to me that II Ia with the
