son says, because we sell at a price
that enables the retailer to sell at
that price. We get $3.50 per hun
dred from the jobber; the jobber
gets about $3.50 from the grocer
and the grocer gets SIS from the con-
sumer."
Unofficial agreements backed by
the fear of not getting sugar from
the company, holds large exports in
check, he intimated.
1--WE try to supply our own terri
, tory" he says, "by holding the sug-
ar manufactured in three months
so as to sell it over a twelve-month
period. We are not boarding: we
want to sell the sugar, but we do not
want to sell it all at once and let
other people get hold of it and take
it back east and profiteer on it"
Another Side to Story
Still another explanation for Is
cent sugar is given by the farmers
who grow the beets.
'The Great Western keeps the price
down in its territory" explains j. H.
0OA0SAt SCH CtdLy VI JIIG MOUNTAIN
States Beet Growers Association, "to
keep the farmers from demanding
a fair price for their beets. It is
making many times more than the
whole state of Colorado can consume
and is selling the balance at enormous
prices"
Data taken from Poor's and
Moody's Manuals of Industrials show
that the dividends of the Great Yves
tern in 1918 and 1919 totaled Sd per
cent in each year. and that the total
dividends between 1910 and 1919
have been $50,760,840.
cat the same time, farmers have
been steadily losing money on beets,
to such an extent that those who have
tried it for few years are putting
in other crops, and, in order to- keep
up the acreage, the companies are
obliged continually to induce new far
mers to plant beets. If the price of
sugar went up in the Great Westerns
territory, it would pay more for beets
than it has any idea of doing"

BOOTLEG l5C
SUGAR IN WEST
Tourists Carrying Away
Sweeting, Found at
Bargain
BY MABEL ABBOTT


logging sugar out of Colorado.
Sugar is Is cents pound here, in
the height of the canning season.
In some states it is anywhere from
% to SO cents and you have to bring
severe pressure to bear on the grocer
to get a couple of pounds at that
price.
The result is inevitable.
Every tourist who passes through
Denver and hears of the lucent sug-
ar carries away material for an orgy
of fruit canning.
A trainload of business men came
here recently on a trade excursion
from Kansas City, Mo. At home they
had been trying in vain to get their
wives enough sugar at 80 cents to
put up strawberries
When they learned the Denver
price, they forgot all about business
and put in their visit going from
grocery to grocery, buying a dollar, S
worth at each place; and, when they
went home with bags, suitcases ana
pockets bullying, they looked ike
hunch of out-of-season Santa Clauses.
Speculators Worry Colorado
Colorado is not worrying about the
sugar that is bootlegged for personal
nse. however. 1t produces more beet
sugar than any other state IN the
Union, and visitors can help them-
selves to dollars worth or SO Win
out seriously depicting the supply;
But when spectators buy and hoard
until they have a quantity and then
take it out of the state to sell at
shortage prices, that's d dltferen1
matter. re-
that U. S. District Attorney harry
r. Tedrow of Denver brought suit re-
Gently under the boarding clause OF
the Lever act, on the ground that
thew were buying up more sugar than
they could use.
u. S. District Judge Robert 4:
Lewis, however, has just ruled against
him The decision declared that the
attempt to keep Colorado sugar IN
Colorado was provincial"
This is only one angle of the Col
orado sugar situation, which has more
angles than piece of rock candy.
Keeping Price Down
The Great Western Sugar Compa-
nv, the largest of the Colorado beet
sugar companies, supplies the north
ern part of the state, and it is in this
TERRITORY that the 15-cent sugar rules.
In other sections it is higher, though
still not as high as in non-sugar pro-
ducing states. /
Credit is claimed for the Great
Western Company by H. Mendelson,
its consulting agriculturist, for keep
ing down the price and for preventing
speculation.
Sugar stays at Is cents" Mendel-
