Effects of Government Control

Those who all along have been crit
ical of government interference with
business operations point to the rise
in sugar prices to abnormal heights
during the earlier months of the year.
their recent abrupt decline, and the
stagnation of the market at the pre-
sent time, as inevitable after effects
of the governments control of sugar
during and following the war
If the price of sugar had been adj
vanced at frequent intervals during the
period of acute shortage last fall, SO
that true supply and demand level
would have been gradually approached
while prices were still under the con-
troll of the government, the TRANSITION
from controlled to a free market
would have been much easier If, fur
ther, the attempt to restrict the prices

A silver dollar Is now being COINED

and profits Of domestic producers ana
distributors had been abandoned when
control of the prices Of imported su-
gars was no longer possible, the re-
adjustment would have been much
more easily accomplished and with less
Inconvenience and loss to consumer
and producer alike. 1t is fair to as
sumo that failure to adopt them was
due more to considerations Of political
expediency than to regard for ecnnom-
ic laws.
This, indeed, is fundamental OBJ
lection to governmental interference
in business operations, such as the pro
duction and distribution of sugar. The
policies of democratic government
are almost certain to be dictated. no,
by business considerations, but by at
tempts to follow the course most like

Coloraao's institutions Of higher
learning are threatened with a general
exodus of professors, their scholastic
standards are at stake, and the whole
system of higher education in the state
faces financial disaster. To meet this
crisis the authorities of these colleges
are looking forward to the passage of
initiated amendment providing increas-
ed revenues for the maintenance Of the
university and the colleges Of the
state.
This amendment will appear on the
ballot at the general election, Nov. 2.
The passage of the amendment allow

cational purposes. 1t simply gives to

cost OF materials and the necessity Of
increasing salaries. Many professors
have gone from Colorado to institu-
tions in other states or have given up
educational work entirely because Of
the low salaries.
A constitutional amendment was
necessary because the statute at pre-
sent limits the levy for all state pur-
poses to four mills, and the levy is
now within fifty-three hundredths OF
that limit.
The text of the amendment follows:
''The rate Of taxation on property
for state purposes, shall never exceed
four mills on each dollar Of valuation;
Provided, however, that in the discre-
ton of the General Assembly an addi-
tional levy of not to exceed one mill

Special to The Republican,

AUGUSTA, Me, Aug. 22-Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, on Saturday opened the national presi- dential campaign with a message of 2 united party, without hint of disaf- lection either in factions or individu- als to the state meeting here of Re publican workers.
 In formally launching the campaign in the political weathervane state" Chairman Hays took occasion to clear up the American publfc's mind con cerning which there has been confu sion during the last weeks.
 This was the Republican national chairmans' first pronouncement since opening the Chicago convention ,n June
 Chairman Hays said in part:
 T shall say little of the issues in- volved. It is not necessary. They are being unfolded and made clear daily with incomparable 1ucidity, directness and frankness by your candidates. It suffices for me to invite your atten- tion to one point of peculiar signifi- canoe, we have shown full readiness to meet your adversaries upon any bat tlefield they might choose.
 When they concentrated us on the league covenant without the dotting of an # or the crossing of a t we met them squarely. When, through their national chairman, fresh from con- ference with their candidate, they pro- nounced the covenant only a secondary issue after all, we acquiesced. When the candidates reversed their national chairman and declared the Wilson league the sole issue we accepted most readily.
 Where next they will land is wholly conjectural. They may conclude to stake their all upon weighing of the relative merits of the respective can l didates.
 "They may prefer to contrast recent Republican cabinets with that which maintains a wayward and hardly rec ognizable existence.
 They may wish to stand upon the actual results of their eight year old pledges to reduce the cost of living.
 They may choose 10 dilat- upon their fresh promises to stop profiteer- ing.

G|N WAREHOUSE AT MESA SCENE
 IF S18,OOO FIRE

MESA. Aug. 22.-Fire which is be- lieved to have been of incendiary origin broke out in the warehouse at the Attaway Phelps ginning plant in the southeast part of Mesa shortly after II o'clock Saturday night and damage estimated at sIS,000 was done. Two carloads of burlap sacking which had recently been unloaded into the ware house were a complete loss, together with the building itself.
 The warehouse was erected only re- gently and workmen were still em ployed Saturday adding the final re- pair work following some damage to the structure week ago by the heavy wind storm. Worknien were on the building until o'clock Saturday even ing and after that nobody was about the premises but the night watchman at the gin It was a few moments after II o'clock that he discovered a tiny blaze by the warehouse, but be- fore he had more than time to investi- gate and turn in the alarm the entire building was a mass of flames.
 The fire department made quick run to the scene of the fire and within short order had two streams of water on it, but too late to save anything The cost of the sacking was $15,0O0 and was fully covered by insurance, while the building, valued at from $2,000 to 5000 was not insured

tisans worthy of holding the highest of honors, is slight. The personal aspects may be ignored.
 What does sadden me is that call umnies such as this can be spread broadcast through the columns of great journals without evoking rebuke from the guides and leaders of public opin- ion who control those powerful agen- cies? There has been no secret about what we are trying to do. I have dis cussed the matter personally with many of the foremost editors of inde- pendent and democratic newspapers throughout the country. I have point ed out the difficulties necessarily in volved in effecting so marked an in novation. I have sought their advice and suggestions and invariably have received assurances of sympathetic cooperation in what amounts to no more. no less than an earnest endeavor to eliminate money as controlling factor from American politics.
 Nothing has been and, of course. nothing will be concealed. By reason of the enlarged electorate and the greatly increased cost of all things. we figure that there will be required a total of about three million dollars, an average of about 10 cents per voter. Part of this has been received, in small contributions from the individuals. 50 per cent of whom have never before subscribed to party funds. The larger part of the total amount we hopr and have reason to believe we shall bt able ! to raise under the plan of limited sub
 scriptions which thus far has proved successful. If this attempt should fail to produce the requisite sums. we shall so state publicly, increase the maxi mum, and seek additional contribu- tions But should it succeed, as I be- lieve it will, the achievement if I may quote a prominent Democratic editor, would far transiend in ultimate and definite good to the country the elec- ton of dozen presidents.'
 Tn any case, the endeavor surely cannot be pronounced unworthy of commendation or even of encourage
 ment. We have not tried to make political capital out of the idea. We have not criticised and have no thought l of criticising our opponents for ad> herring to the old method of accepting
 the largest contributions obtainable. That is their right and privilege under l the existing statutes. Nor shall we.
 resentful of the positive charges of the Democratic candidates. emulate them | even so much to intimate that their i responsible officers will use any part
 of their funds corruptly. Frankly and
 squarely, between mutual respecting l citizens we don't believe they will or
 would if they could.
 But I give fair warning that neither
 the Republican candidates nor the
 Republican management will take false aspersions lying down. If at the in
 stance of our adversaries this cam paign shall finally resolve into a ques- | tion of personal characters. we know
 of no reason. aside from natural dis
 taste, why we should not meet that issue as readily as any other.

An eighteen year old girl and two babies were tossed into the railroad station and were dead when picked up. Two men and three women also were killed

RECOMMEND PAYMENT IF BOXER INDEMNITY

PEKING, Aug 21.-The French and Japenese legations today recommended to the Chinese foreign office that pay ments be resumed on the unremitted portion of the Boxer indemnity to Russia. In July China discontinued payment of the indemnity, announcing that the remainder would be held in Chinese banks until a stable govern ment was set up in Russia.
 The French and Japanese recommen- dations present protest to China from the Russian legation here. The rec concentrations express the belief of the French and Japanese governments that it would be unwise to wipe out the sole remains Of the last recognized Russian authority.

 The crowds were ont to burn the house of every nationalist in Lisburn. Boards were wrested from windows and fire raiders entered buildings to complete their destruction. The fire brigade declined to interfere and the Belfast brigade showed reluctance to respond. A renewal of trouble is feared

 The congregations were leaving all the Protestant churches at the time and converging on the scene of the shooting.
 At the corner of Railway street, three armed men with rifles confronted Swansey and fired on him in the pres ence of his family.
 Swansey fell, but the assassins dis charged their weapons again into his body.
 Captain Woods, commandant of the Lusburn branch of the Ulster volunC teers. made a dash for the assa ssins, although only armed with stick The assassins fired, a bullet shattering the stick in Woods hand. He was not in jured
 The murderers then fired at other persons but without effect, and jumped into a waiting taxicab and drove toward Belfast. All roads were patrolled by police and military, but the assassins escaped.
