Grand Larceny In Sugar

The sugar interests are preparing
to rob the American people of from
five hundred million dollars TO one
billion dollars. This is the way the
deal is to be put across:
Unless restrained by the national
administration the price of sugar will
be showed up to about twenty cents
per pound. This is about thirteen
cents more than II should be. 1t is
not difficult matter to determine a
fair price for sugar. The sugar beet
factories in the West pay the farmer
four cents a pound for the sugar IN
his beets. In addition to the sugar
they get certain by-products on which
they realize sufficient to meet the
greater part of the expense of operat-
ing their factories.
A conservative estimate would
place the cost of pound of granula.
ted sugar to the factor at about five
cents.
At ten cents per pound the factor,
owner could pay dividends of hun.
dred per cent on capital invested. Thi;
would seem to be enough for the most
avaricious, but twenty cents pei
pound is calmly suggested

CANADIAN FARMERS FOR
UNITY WITH WORKERS

That the Canadian farmers UNDER
stand the plot of the plntocracy to
drive wedge between the workers
and farmers and in keeping them apart
to destroy all hopes for the democratic
zation of government and industry, is
indicated by the following from the
Western independent. the Official or
gan of the organized farmers of AL
berta:
"I'he question of unity between
farmers and labOrers is being used
and will be used more in future as a
means of setting these two groups in
opposition. thereby weakening the
democratic forces in the political fight.
We might as We'll face this issue and
set forth clearly what is and what

uniting forces.
Gin the first place neither the farm
ers nar the laborers are seeking or
ganie unity. Group divisions arising
out of the nature Of our industrial
system In Its present state of develop
ment make organic unity difficult.
These are many minor questions upon
which the urban and rural workers
would disagree If detnils were not
dealt with. Perhaps the most sbvions
snag is that Of the eight-hour day.
Party politicians harp on this string.
They say to the city worker that the
farmer wants eight hours but he wants
II to be eight hours in the forenoon.
and eight hours in the afternoon
snow even the eight-hour day il not
an impossible barrier between labor
and farmers. This can be solved when
the time comes. At present all that is
being sought is cooperation between
the two democratic groups in SO far
ns interests are seen to be Identical.
How far are the labor and farmers
interests identical?
Both are seeking to build up dem
0cratic organization within each separ-
ate group. This provides an affinity.
Then both are seeking representation
In parliament. this is the basis for
political cooperation. 1t is to the
benefit of both to cooperate inasmuch
as both are looking for representation.

fore the great world war to pay scant
attention to thrift. When the tre-
