It is reported that the railroad ex-
ecutives are preparing to ask the rail-
road labor board to grant a second
cut in wages. They believe that low
cred living costs and the reduced price
of labor in other industries warrants
another cut. It is said that if a Sec
ond IL per cent reduction is author
lied it will permit a 5 per cent reduc-
ton in freight rates and reduce pas
senger fares to 3 cents a mile. But
the railroads might have a better
chance for success in obtaining an
other wage cut if they would take the
lead. The public would like to see re-
suits from the wage cutting already

1t is reported that the consumption
of coffee in this country has increased
enormously since prohibition became
effective. When the reformers have
finished with the cigaret they will
find the coffee job ready and waiting.
Coffee is a luxury and is known 10
have proven harmful to some per-
sons. therefore prohibition of its use
probably will be demanded by the self

THE SUGAR TARIFF.


The. indefenstble tariff is the way
Frank C. Lowry. a member OF, the
firm of E. Atkins & Sons. Ill Wal
STREET, New York City, characterizes
the Fordney BILL z. Atkins & Sons
are sugar refipers, operating the
! Pennsylvania refinery. one of the
largest of American refineries, while
Mr. Lowry is a recognized sugar ex-
pert and was called upon by Herbert
Hoover to help regulate the price and
supply of sugar during the war and
afterwards. Mr.. Lowry uses sugar as
a concrete example of what the Ford
ney tariff will do to the American
people.
In an interview published in the
New York Post Mr.. Lowry points out
that under the proposed sugar tariff.
as the American people use 1000, 900
tons of sugar a year. they will be
paying a tax on sugar of $3.50, 900, 600
a year. But only half of this goes to
the government in duties. Only the
foreign sugar pays a duty to the gov
| eminent. The other $S0,0oO,O0O is
paid by the American people as a
bounty to the American sugar grow
ers, when the American growers raise
their price to conform to the price of
Cuban sugar, plus the duty. Continu-
ing.~Mr. Lowry says:
Every American sugar mill econom-
ically situated can compete on equal
terms with foreign mills. The trouble
&c Iaf 80, -sF
lean sugar growers have been induced
! constantly to extend their operations
into districts where sugar cannot be
raised economically. Then we put on
high tariff and tax the consumer so
that men can grow sugar who never
should be in the sugar business at all
and land can be.used for sugar grow
ing that ought to be turned over 70
grazing herds.
In the meantime, we keep out cf
America huge supply of cheap sugar
from Cuba, throw Cuba on the verge
of bankruptcy, make it next to itnpos-
sible for Cuba to pay her debts to US
and drive her to trade with Europe,
when she wants to trade with Amer
lea.
Porto Rico Is a fine example of
what is meant by economically and un-
economically situated sugar mills
Porto Rico has great expanse of low
lying land on her coasts that is natural
sugar land. There sugar can be raised
by American growers to compete~o on
equal terms with Cuban sugar. But
when you begin to get to the uplands
you have to bring water from long
distances and irrigate at costs that
won't let the growers there compete
with Cuba
Those uplands are natural grazing
lands and should be covered with
herds. But under protection. subsi-
died by the bounty the tariff makes
the American people pay to the Amer
lean sugar grower, the. sugar men
have extended their opeyations into
the upIands. The herds have bken
driven off, sugar is being raised In
economically and sold to the Ameri-
can people at an exorbitant price,
while Porto Rico is importing milk
in cans. The American people are be-
ing taxed and Porto Ricans are paying
a double tax in order to let a few
men grow sugar where sugar never
should be grown
To cap all this, the Fordney tariff
raises the duty on sugar. Under the
present law the duty on Cuban sugar
is one cent a pound. The Fordney bill
makes it one and six-tenths cents a
pound.
