SUGAR pRoFTrEER STILL AT WORK.

Considerable light has been let in on the methods
Of New England sugar rehneries and the steps taken
to enforce an arbitrary price for their commodity by
an investigation which has been under way in Boston.
It was shown that wholesale grocers IN order to
get a supply were forced TO sign an iron-bound con-
tract to pay % IL cents a pound for sugar. Did they
show an inclination TO refuse the terms. they were
threatened with the situation of having no sugar with
which TO supply customers during the coming season.
The market price based on supply and demand appears
to have been wholly disregarded. The rehners had
the sugar and were able to dictate terms.
As q result wholesalers are still bound TO pay %
Ia cents. though the retail price generally IS below
these figures. Notwithstanding the change in con-
ditions the rehners insist on the pound OF flesh" It
Is not astonishing that those bound TO pay % 13 cents
should suffer some pangs Of remorse when they face
market conditions, though they do not escape entire
culpability for the condition. Had the wholesalers de-
ned the renners and done without sugar. unless they
could buy il at q fair price. they would thus have as.
sisted In thwarting the robbery that was perpetrated
on the people. Yielding, even though under compulsion
they In a measure became a party TO the e2orbitant
charges.
Though the price has broken IT appears that those
who hold stocks OF sugar are not without hope that
tbev may be able to manipulate the supply so that it
will be possible to boost prices again. 1t is stated an
effort is being made to head of stocks CT sugar on the
way here from Java and divert them elsewhere so as
not TO add still further to the surplus here. Then the
refneries will refuse to sell except on their own terms,
thus creating another artificial scarcity that will enable
holders to get whatever prices they ask.
It's a great game that is being practiced. Having
had a taste OF easy money the sugar people seem most
reluctant to let go of a good thing, though present
prices are about four times the pre-war price. But
greed is %boundless. 1t fattens on itself.

Undoubtedly the service has been robbed OF romance
BY the experience OF many who served in various capac-
tues u the hastily recruited personnel Of the navy
uullhg the war. Many young fellows who would ether
wise have sought such appointments have disillusioned.
Much OF the glamor attached TO the lighting service was
removed By the late war. Not only on land but on the
water as Wei was 1t drudgery and the greater drudgery

but probably the chief cause for lack of desire 10
enter the navy is the greater financial reward that civ
iHtan life promises. Advantages the service offers in a
social way In time of peace may be thought not to
balance its shortcomings in pay and its demands in case
of war. Considering what the world has recently gone
through II is really not surprising that there is a dis
position among the youth to avoid a servile that night
mean war. 1t may be but the natural reaction that
should have been expected.

WELL.KNnwN CAUSE

We have read apparently volumes of stun explain
ina the cause of the high cost OF living, but it seems
that about the best average reason we have encountered
is laid at the door of the customer-he is altogether
TOO reckless IN spending. 1t makes little difference how
high the price is. II he wants the article. he buys, and
IL seems there is sufficient money IN circulation for him
10 pay for n. II psople were not prone to pay the high
cost OF living there would be no high cost. This calls
to mind the much repeated phrase. the cost of high ly
ing. which is q very true expression. Notwithstanding
everything is priced high, no one seems 10 refuse TO buy
because OF 1t. When an old dollar article is asked two
or three dollars for. there is no hesitation. The advanc-
ed price is paid and that supports the high price of
meat. clothing, -four. potatoes. etc. And so Independent
Of the middleman. the ~prohteer. the storage, etc. the
high cost remains rather solidly Fixed. Like all our
troubles, which are mainly individual, is the high cost
of living.

JOBS For ALL

There will be a Job for every man who wants TO
work next winter. is the confident assertion OF the
director OF the employment service OF the United States
department OF labor. More than that, he believes
that the next few months will be the best in years
or peace so far as ready employment Is concerned.
Such prophesy is gratifying ana will refute the
calamity howlers who are always particularly active
In seasons OF presidential campaigns.
In the readiustnents through which we are now
passing it has been unavoidable that there should be
certain Heterogeneous of industry. but with con-
Ftinuance Of a pronounced world shortage of many ma
terials and manufactured articles 1T is inconceivable
that stagnation could be either general or prolonged.
Undoubtedly one of the most disturbing factors in
the situation is the problem OF the price level. Until
uncertainty is largely removed, business men viii
avoid large commitments. and as long as they feel in
'clined to pronounced conservatism. resumption and ex-
pansIon are certain to be somewhat retarded.
In discussing the commercial and industrial sit
uation the man who dares to prophesy from day to
day or from week to week nIrts with discontinue. But
the man who prophesies for the long pull Will, II he
be remembered is that the United States is becoming
that our prosperity Is Just beginning and that the
achievements OF the future are certain TO outriyal
those of the past.
The man who puts his faith In America for the
long pull can endure passing fluctuations with equan-
unity and confidence. America has a golden future so
much greater than opportunities which have confront
ed nations in the past as to be beyond comparison

ifested by the people of this part of
the state in the developments. The
excellent indications of oil, brought
out by the heavy flow of gas, has
brought the well to the forefront
and its progress is being awaited for
more positive indications of oil. The
drill has penetrated but a few feet
since work was resumed last week,
and is still near the 700 foot level.
By a peculiar arrangement of the

gas has been shut off or controlled

face the jobber, retailer and con-
sumner will continue to experience
extreme difficulty in obtaining sugar.
"The attorney general of the
United States recently called a meet
ing of the refiners and it was agreed
that the refiners would use all their
influence to keep sugar from being
diverted from the regular channel of
distribution (the jobbers) to the
hands of people who engage in re-
sale, or in other words, the refiners
will do all possible to keep sugar
moving to the consumer in the most
direct route possible in hopes of ex-
terminating the possibility of spec
ulation.
"The prices being paid in the
United States for sugars today are
so high that Belgium, Holland, Bo-
hemia, Denmark, Java, China and
many other countries are sending
their sugars to US, and the arrival of
those sugars may serve in time to
increase supplies to an extent that
may force our market downward"

THE SUGAR SITUATION

The sugar price and supply are
topics of vital interest. People are
anxious to know where the blame lies
and what the future will bring.
Authentic information is hard to
gather but the following statement
taken from a pamphlet dated May 8,
1920, issued by a st. Paul jobbing
house, contains more of interest than
anything else we have seer on the
subject:
with the soaring prices and ex-
IRENE shortage of sugar comes the
urgent appeal of the retail merchant,
the manufacturer, the baker and
even the Gamer, for more sugar at
any price and any quality; while the
jobbers, through their inability to
obtain sugar in quantities from their
customary sources (the refiners),
are compelled to buy toll sugars, or
from second hands, and pay the
normous prices now being asked,
and still supplies cannot be obtained
fast enough to take care of the de-
mand, with no relief in sight.
There is no doubt but what the
Cuban raw market is being manipu-
lated for the advantage of a few
speculative holders who may be op-
Grating in Cuba and perhaps out of
the jurisdiction of the United States
Department of Justice. There is al
so no doubt there is an actual short
age of sugar, and it is a certainty

WHAT is 1T?

1t is a common thing to hear mer
talking quietly and earnestly over
the great and increasing cost of the
commodities of life. Men and wo-
men have been patient, have held
their tongues, forced themselves to
be cheerful and resolved to be good
citizens at all costs. But there is a
limit to patience; a place where it
ceases to be a virtue. Many feel
that that point has been almost
reached. The most optimistic and
courageous are beginning to ask:
"Where will it end?" The war was
over long ago; there has been con-
siderable time for that much talked
of thing, readjustment, to take place
but still prices of the things consum-
ers must have continue to rise. In
creased cost of labor, shortage of
raw material, less production per
hour and per dollar are not enough
to account for the present cost of
many things. The cause seems to
be a mysterious thing, hidden from
us.
We have had several men ask, the
past week, "What is it? What is this
thing that puts prices higher and
higher? Is it politics."
We confess the question is too
tough for us to answer; but it is a
campaign year and the politics idea
will bear watching. 1t would make
a big hit with the people, the ones
on the outside wondering what is 60
ing on on the inside, if the Republi-
can congress and the Democratic
administration would pull off a little
team work when the sugar brokers
and other food grafters were not ex-
pecting it. But of course that is too
much to expect when an election has
be won,
