THE FUTURE OF SUGAR

The western states. as sugar pro-
ducers, come next in Importance to
their rank as grain and meat pro-
ducers. In fact, the three great in
dustries are closely allied. and on the
future of the sugar industry hangs
the livestock industry.
The certainty of present high pric-
es for raw material for making beet
sugar is Offset by uncertainty of fu-
ture prices of sugar. The beets
grown in 1919 on a ten dollars per
ton basis to the grower will make
sugar to be sold in 1920 at unknown
prices.
In parts of the west the share of
the dollar-for which sugar was sold
in the market-that went to the
grower rose from AZ cents in 1914
to 60 cents in 1918.
Utah the farmers got 48 cents
of the dollar in 1918, and will get
54 to 55 cents in 1919, allowing 3
cents for operating cost of beet sugar
refineries.
One western sugar factory spent
100000 bringing in labor from
Mexico to save the sugar beet and
other farm crops in 1918.
In 1919 there will be the largest
sugar beet acreage ever planted in
the west and threatened labor short
age.

MODERN BANKING

From Kamiah, Idaho, come press
reports that group of progressive
banks have employed farm expert.
His service will be free to the public.
The banks have adopted this meth
cd to further the development of
the farming industries and show the
ranchers the advantage of getting
away from the one crop idea on high
priced land.
Scientific feeding of cattle and
sheep will be urged and farmers will
be assisted in raising as much stock
and stock food as possible.
This is constructive development
business. The banker looks ahead
and sees the opportunities awaiting
development in his community, He
then arranges to put the people in
touch with this opportunity, know
ing that he can only prosper as his
neighbor prospers.
This is real service and shows the
modern trend of banking and its
close connection with industrial de-
velopment.

LEAVE THE KIDS OUT

We are a great, strong, wealthy
nation.
We have ample capital and re-
sources to meet war expenses.
Why stoop to where we must seize
each boy and girl and demand tax
on the gum drop, sucker or lolly-pop
they buy.
Congress did needless job when
it decided that a quick way to get
some easy money" was by putting
a special five percent excise tax on
candy.
The war has proved candy good.
wholesome and necessary food. sup
plying carbohydrates required by
the system.
In paying for the war, we all want
to do our share but burdening anv
industry or individual with special
taxes, in addition to regular taxes as
paid by all, is un-Amerfcan and un-
democratic, and the sooner such
measures are repealed the sooner
will industry go ahead.
