THE HIGH PRICE OF SUGAR

Washington, March by n vote of
sss To l24 the House has decided TO
tavestigate the reasons for Attorney
General Palmer's fixing the present
high price for Louisiana sugar In
spite OF his pretense of cutting down
the high living cost.
In explanation. Representative p.
p. Campbell, chairman of the Rules
Sommittee. said:
In 1912 the issue was made
sauaruly before the people that II
1te Democratic party was given full
ssontrol of the Congress and the pres
dency they would reduce the cost OF
living. The issue was made in every
s12ition OF the country. The high
cost of living was pointed out In
every village and hamlet, and Il was
charged that the Republican party
vas responsible for the high price OF
every necessity of life, and, last but
not least, the price OF sugar. II was
stated that IL the Democratic party
eouid get control OF the country all
ihis fniquity that they said the Re-
unblicans had perpetuated upon the
WoYle would be removed
TIE Democratic party won in
lslz. That party obtained the Pres
dency and both branches OF Con,
sresss They repealed sone of the
1aws, Of which they complained,
aotabIy the tariff law, which they
said was responsible for the high
cost of living. Instead of reducing
the cost OF living they reduced the
sumber OF Jobs In the United States,
Aac the cost of living continued 20
msunt. and IL kept going higher and
aisher through the weeks and the
months. Everybody familiar with
TIE economic principles involved in
tna legislation that was attacked and
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1920-03-25

the remedies that the Democratic
party proposed in the campaign
knew that the cost of living would
not be reduced as the result of the
enactment of such legislation, but |
believe the people generally thought
chat II any Democrat had an oppor-
tunity at any time to reduce the cost
OF living or To keep the cost of living
down he would embrace that oppor-
tunity. II was thought. of course.
that IL the president by an action
OF his could specifically save S7OO.-
100000 TO 5000. 900 900 year TO
the American people on the one item
OF sugar, q daily necessity in every
household. he would avail himself of
that opportunity
But contrary to the just expec-
tations of the American people. the
president totally ignored an oppor-
tunity to save them from seven to
nine hundred millions of dollars a
year on the cost of sugar. He had
an opportunity In August, 1919, to
purchase the entire sugar crop of
Cuba for Y cents a pound. He ne
elected To make that purchase,
though the recommendation was
made by the sugar equalization
board which he had created. Seven
members of that commission recon-
mended and urged upon the president
the purchase of Cuban sugar at 6 ~
cents "A pound. In connection with
the recommendation II was pointed
out TO the president that except in
Cuba alone there was a shortage in
the sugar crop of the world. and that
II the president did not take advan-
tage of his opportunity to purchase
the Cuban sugar crop offered at that
time the price would necessarily
mount 20 very high point still
the president did not act, and again
In september. 1919. the opportunity
was once more offered to the presi-
don't to purchase the Cuban sugar
crop at ,6 Y cents pound and again
the president refused TO take advan-
tage of his opportrnity.
"The next official action came ap-
parentiy as a sequence of the refusal
of the president to purchase the sug-
ar crop OF Cuba at 6 Il cents a pound
when the Attorney General of the
United States an appointee OF the
president, agreed with the sugar
planters OF Louisiana upon II cents
a pound for one grade of sugar and
rs cents pound for another grade.
Was there an understanding between
the president and the attorney gen
eral that the president would not
purchase the sugar crop of Cuba at
6'e cents a pound so that subse-
quently the attorney general could
enter into an agreement with the
, sugar planters Of Louisiana TO pay
] Z and s cents? II appear so. One
action follows the other in natural
sequence, and the result today is that
the people OF America are paving
from l S TO 22 cents a pound for sug-
ar instead of 10 and IL cents a
pound"

A "Thank-You" Sometimes
Brightens a Whole Day

Not day passes that letters from a
distance, and callers in person, do not give us
cheer for our courageous performances in May
and June.
At one of the political conventions, a
delegate tells us, there was large representa-
tion of colored delegates, who sat silent for two
days waiting leadership.
A prominent white man said to bright
colored man:
"What are you waiting for?" >. ..
"I 'spOse de major is waitin' fer der
zoological moment" meaning the psychological
moment
That the dates of our patriotic movement
were we'll chosen as the psychological moment
has been generally accepted everywhere.
If the date had been submitted to the
manufacturers and retailers, they would have
kept ND discussion upon it until 1921.
Somebody had to take the responsibility
and act, and that's what we have tried to do for
lifetime.
The result is not unanimous, but it has been
wholesome. You can now buy many things
without advances that were planned, and you
can buy shoes, clothing and many articles used
by women at much lower prices than formerly.
Prices temporarily stabilized will make
losses for those who defantly refuse to let go.
The buying public is larger and stronger
than the capitalists and mill-Owners who insist
on the old prices.
All our buyers in New York and
Philadelphia are without permission to place
orders for future delivery at any advance costs.
Standing solidly together against advances will
compel retrenchments of expensive wartime
organizations.
This Store will buy for cash, at lower prices,
and at favorable times, and every article bought
for less than old rates will be marked lower
price to the people.

SEEKS YANK WHO
FOUND PICTURE
IN SHELL HOLE
Alice Lloyd Thinks Harry
Keeping May KnoU of
One Who Died.

1t is to be hoped that somewhere in
America there lives a man named Harry
Keeping and that this same gentleman
fought with the soldiers in France. Alice
Lloyd, the English comediennne, now
touring America and appearing this week
at Keiths, is anxious to locate him.
Six years ago, when Miss Lloyd was
in America, she had some photographs
taken in Chicago. Last year one of these
pictures came back to her. 1t was sent
TO her sister, Marie Lloyd, and was in
dilapdiated condition. On the back was
written: Found In a shellhole, some
where in France, Oct 8, 1916, by Harry
Keeping, an American serving with the
First Canadian contingent
Some trenches were inhabited for
months and according to report were fire.
quentIy decorated with photographs Of
Aprarious stage favorites, but for picture
: to be found in shell hole, she argues,
it must have been in some ones posses
sion, some one who probably made the
supreme sacrifice
If Mr.. Keeping had been thoughtful
enough to write the number of his reg
iment and company on the picture before
sending it back, ii would have been an
easy matter to locate him. but the only
thing Miss Lloyd can find as clew is
the fact that he was an American serving
with the Canadian contingent. 1t is
rather like looking for a needle in a
hay stack" but Miss Lloyd is hoping
that somewhere during her present tour
Harry Keeping will be attracted by her
name and send her further information
regarding the picture found in a she'll
hole, somewhere in France.
