BELFAST
Tax-Payers Want New School
House Discussed

A petition signed by 80 tax payers
who are legally represented by Judge
Clyde Il. Chapman, was presented
last night to Mayor c. W. Wescott,
asking for a citizens meeting to dis
cuss the matter of the new school,
house. The petition sets forth that
the signors are favorable TO new
schoClhouse, TO be built with the
funds now in the hands of the build
ing committee, amounting to about
$4,000, and also to the appropna-
ton of ST., 700 made by the city. This
they claim would build schoolhouse
suitable TO the city's needs, the total
being about $4,000.
Mayor Wescott this morning stated
that he had received the petition but
inasmuch as the matter of raising
the extra $4,000 by direct taxation
had not come formally before the
City Government, and furthermore
as another plan was already under
proval of the superintendent Of
schools, whereby the raising of the
$4,000 would be eliminated there
was nothing to the issue at present.
One of the arguments of the cppo-
sitions is the size of the building be-
ing out of proportion to the growth
of Belfast, that the city is diminish
ing in population and that the new
building will not bring additional
families or students here. Figures
show that there will be between 450
and 500 students to enter the new
school next year and the building will
accommodate but SIS.

THE MENACE OF NARCOTICS

There is cause for thought in the
report Of the committee that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in 1919 ap-
pointed to make an investigation in
TO the use Of narcotics in this and
other countries. According to the
finding OF that committee this coun-
try is using per capita ten grains
more Of opium and derivatives than
is being used in Inlia where it has
been produced and used for ages.
and from thirteen to twenty-five
times as great per capita consump-
ton in this country as was found in
Austria, Italy, Germany, Portugal,
France and Holland. 1t further ap-
pcarcd that during tile period in
which our population increased two
and a half times, the amount Of OPT
l,m imported for consumption has
increased nearly five times.
such a report cannot, in the nature
~ ll.lilEo l'C ttIJHDlAttlN dCG VI ttlt btl
surely contains enough of informa-
ton to warrant apprehension and to
arouse our government to a sense Of
imperative duty. But that is not all;
the head physician Of Sing Sing re-
ported last week a gain of more than
II per cent in the number of drug
addicts admitted to the prison during
the last fiscal year, the number adj
mittcd this year being the largest in
the history of the institution.
These conditions awake us to
realization Of terrible menace
which this generation must fight
WITHOUT sparing. The new legisla-
ton creating the Federal narcotic
control board is believed a practical
step to combat the evil, really one of
the most important pieces of legisa-
ton in recent years. There should be
the most rigid supervision of import
atoms and manufacture in this coun-
try, but that is not all. There is evil
dence that much Of the shipments in
to this country in transit has been
smucglcd back into the country. In
decd this drug is suited to smuggling
liquor smuggling operations.

KEEP UP THE LANCE

While no one need expect that any
Government will ever be capable of
expanding five hundred million dol
lars without a lot Of inef1ciency and
red tape being tangled up in the pro-
cess. and the United States Veterans
Bureau IS unlikely to prove an excep.
ton, there should be on the part Of
all spirit of watchfulnoss, vigilance
in the interests of the disabled. They
VIII have need Of all Of it. For this
If for no other reason the criticisms
Of the American Legion are entitled
TO consideration. This. notwith-
standing a spirit Of criticism may ex-
''st in that quarter.
a recent bulletin Of the Legion
news service has the following:
we hear that 10000 mon are in
hospitals, that 100000 are taking yo-
cational training. The inference is
TINT all IS lovely. This inference is
false.
Thirty thousand men in hospitals
means little unless we know they are
in fit hospitals and that there are no
others not in hospitals who should be
there. Vocational training is only 20
per cent efficient by the admission Of
Mr.. Forbes, director of the Veterans
HureauD The present vocational
training situation is doing a large
part Of those 100000 students no
good, but positive HARM"
The article continues:
politics and private greed have
delayed for q year the location of
hospitals. Meanwhile mon who
fought the country's battles are diving
and going insane for the need of
those hospitals, the Weekly declares.
"Site on site has been chosen.
agreed upon by eminent experts. only
to be abandoned in the face of oh
jections arising from politics or self
ishness or both"
The Legion maintains a service for
inspection Of the work Of the Bureau.
This should be, though some NAV
be inclined to conclude that possibly
the Legion is susceptible to the desire
to blow its own horn and may not
eive all the credit due when are con-
sidercd all the difficulties which must
arise in connection with any attempt
~ the Government to handle a work
Of that ma gnitudc. Nevertheless the
public will feel easier to know that
this inspection and source of criti-
cism exists. for it should mean better
results for the disabled soldier and
that is what the people are keenly in
terested in.

EXPORTS OF SUGAR

InOSe VINO COuIQ not at tunes
during the World War buy enough
sugar to sweeten one cup of coffee.
will appreciate the fact that the SUI
gar industry in the United States is
promising. At the close of the pres
ent fiscal year ending June so. sugar
exports will exceed those of every
year preceding. The Trade Record
of the National City Bank of New
York gives proof of this statement
especially as applied to refined sugar.
One of the results of the war was
to reduce the production of beet su-
gar in Europe aHd to increase the
demand for cane sugar from IIa-
wall, Cuba, and Porto Rico.
Most of the cane sugar from
those islands is refined in the -nited
States. The sugar of Java is better
prepared and passes directly to the
consumer.
During the fiscal year 1914, the
year before the war. the refined su-
gar export was 50,000,000 pounds.
The rate of production was enor-
mously increased during each sue
ceeding year, but the fiscal year,
1922, is the banner year, as the to-
tai export is likely to approximate
1,75000OO00. The price. of course,
is likely to remain low.
United States markets are many
and remote, including England,
France, Australia, Africa, China,
Japan, Canada. Mexico, and the cane
producing islands. Two years ago
the United States exported refined
sugar to IS different countries, is
lands, and colonies. One Boston pa
per states:
I'm the nine months of the cur
rent fiscal year for which details

to Great Britain 35O,OOO,O0O pounds.
and the total for the full year will
approximate 500,000,000; to France
POO 900, 5000 pounds with a prospect
of 30O,OOO,000 for the full year, and
even to Cuba, the worlds greatest
producer of raw sugar approximate
ly 100000 pounds
Cuba is the chief source. Prac-
tically all Of the refined sugar which
is being exported and which will to-
tai 1,75O000,0O0 pounds in the fiscal
year about to end. is of Cuban pro-
duction. While the United States
refnes practically all of the cane
sugar produced in Hawaii and Porto
Rico, none of their sugar or that
produced within continental United
States is re-exported after refine
ment, and as a consequence practi-
cally all of this large quantity of
refined sugar which is now being
distributed to the world is the pro
duct of a next-door neighbor, Cuba. a"
Beet sugar which is produced in
this country Is turned out as fin
ished product by the producer. Eu-
rope used to supply about one-half
of the worlds sugar crop from
bects. but that fraction has been de-
creased. In Europe. also only about
onc-half of the beet sugar is refined
by the producers: the other half is
sent to retineries. In Java the cane
sugar is turned out as white sugar
ready for the consumer.
During the last eight years the
United States has exported refined
sugar to the value Of 100000, 900;
during the preceding eight years.
S20,000.000. The sugar industry is
still growing and Uncle Sam should
not bescriticized for having a feeling
of satisfaction over his island pos
