With the passage Of this law In Czecho-

NO ARGUMENT

1t ii announced that under agreement
with the q. s.. district attorney stocks q
sugar on hand must be sold to the consumer
without regard to replacement cost and the
effect of this announcement is that the
price Of from $500 to $22.50 charged BY re-
tailere In Santa re for sugar on hand fol.
lowing the recent rise was illegal and ex'
orbitant-profiteering, In short.
An illegal and exorpitant and profiteering
price having been charged, 1t follows with
out argument that snch illegal price must
be refunded to the consumer. Otherwise
certain b~uyers-th0se who fell for the In.
creased price and bought huTriedly IN order
to escape threatened further increaHeT-
would be the victims Of gross discflnaina'
ton.
1t was stated yesterday that THE goy
ernment had not decided whether or not
rebates should be given. The government
has no room for indecision- II an Illegal
and exorbitant price was charged AZ should
be refunded Immediately.
1t goes without saying that 1t Is an out
rageous situation when various dealers are
allowed to fix their own prices for sugar SO
that one man at one store is paying $l9.75
while another buyer at another store pays
$22.50. Ii other words, a dealer can arbi
trariIy tack Oh two or three dollars profit on
a hundred pounds of sugar in addition to the
profit he was already making on q stock
which he bought before the price went up.
Let the district attorneys office cake It
known at once that those who paid ex0rbit-
prices for sugar shall get their money

TOM MARSHALL SAYS U. S.

ROAD ENGINEERS in WORLD

tee on a goodly number OF highway Bills, the
comments Of Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall at Hot Springs, Ark just ap-
proved and released for publication. are re-
ghrded as highly significant coming from
the former governor Of q northern state.
The address was delivered at the big Joint
convention of the United States Good Roads
association and Bankhead highway held at
the Arkansas resort and attended BY sew
eral thousand delegates, mostly, OF course.
from southern states. The vice president Of
the gathering and he thus made pointed
reference to federal participation IN high
ways Improvement
while feel that the general govern
ment, by Its benefactions to the several
states, Id usurping the functions and killing
the initiative Of the individual states, / am
quite convinced that the one good thing
which it Is doing Ia this way is the building
OF good roads. The federal government has
the cieahest. finest, ablest and most disin-
terested road engineers in the world. It
has, in my opinion. constitutional authority
to improve the post roads Of the country.
But the aid heretofore given has been gem
erously used In piecemeal by rich counties
matching their dollars against the general
governments dollars.
Il am quite convinced that the congress

OF this union may Us well make Up their

appropriation on the fifty-flfty plan. It must
be upon one or two BASES: either that the
