NATION
GETS INCREASE.
French Presidents Salary
Boosted by Deputies to
Meet Expenses.

Taking into account the cost of
living. and desiring to enable him
to receive worthily foreign diplo-
mats and guests of France" the
chamber decided recently to in
crease the salary of the President Of
the republic by 100000 francs. to a
total Of 100000. and those Of the
presidents Of the senate and the
chamber from $4,000 to $4,000.
Foch and other marshals Of
France likewise benefit by an in
crease of 10000 francs. making a
total salary of $1,000. Ministers
who receive 1000 less hope to gain
the favor OF Parliament later.
The increase in the presidential
salary fs certainly overdue, since
out of II have to be met all ex-
penses and taxes. 1t is stated that
Poincare's assessment for direct
taxation amounted to 100000 francs.

Evidently, Mr.. Brow mas lost sight
0 the fact (which he must be aware Of
that, Factories have to buy raw material
for the manufacture of their products,
and that the cost of that material 1uctu~
ates according to circumstances and con-
ditions. Sugar today is very nigh in
price in the chief market in which it is
sold, and cane, the raw ma erial from
which Ihis is manufactured, must, by
reason Of the Sugar Factory's contracts,
be cOrrespoadingly so. 1t is therefore
puzzling to understand how MIR. Brow
expects the sugar made, say six weeks
ago can reasonably be sold at the same ale
as that now being made or vice versa.
The quotation for sugar in New York in
the first days of March was 11--12c. and
today nearly TIC. Besides it may quite
p0ssib 7 be that sugar made in the early
crop TOR export is sold and th erefore the
