A $200,o0O,0OO Sugar Tax?

The American people are asked
by the tariff makers or the senate
Finance Committee to pay tarln
bill of more than $500 00,Ooo
wear on the sugar they consume.
This is what the committee rate
of $50 hundred pounds on CUBAN
sugar will work out when applled ~
the country's normal consumption OF
approximately 10000, 0OO,Ouo los.
year. IN
But the American people will be
interested to know that the tarln ex-
tremists on the committee really
wanted to do worse than that TO the
sugar consumers of the country.
They thought they might as well
pile even 5000 100000 OF extra
sugar cost upon America consum-
er's back.
The original Finance Committee
proposal was duty OF two cents d
pound on Cuban sugar. when not
only is virtually all the sugar I'M
ported into this market but Is the
bulk of the sugar consumed by thls
country.
In strenuous objection o such
treatment of the public Sn amend
ment was offered in the committee
to make the duty $50 hundred
pounds. This would have saved Inc
American consumers $70,OOO,O0O
from the s200,000.000 sugar tariH
cost at the proposed rate OF TWO
cents.
But the hard boiled tariff makers

bills $4,000 900 a year; ana they
voted the amendment down SIX u

Then they voted down an amend
ment to make the duty $l.4o
hundred pounds and save American
sugar consumers S60,0O0,OOO year
out of the proposed tax OF sZoo',
600. 100000. And then they voted
down an amendment to make 1t
cent and a half pound and save
the American sugar consumers sou
100000.
At last. after very bitter opposl-
tion by some members of the COM
mittee to ruthless piliage OF the
American sugar consumer. duty OF
$3.50 a hundred pounds was voted,
FIVE to four. Even then the hafd
boiled tariff makers could not recon
cile themselves to letting the Amerl-
can sugar consumers off $4,000 Ooo
of the proposed $2O0,0Oo,0OO sugar
tax. ,,.
On the very day before the NC
Cumber tariff bill was reported 10
the Senate, still another enort was
made to drive the rate on CUBAN
sugar up to two cents a pouno, pu.

JURY
STANDING 8 TO3
| CLEARS DOUBTS
Comes Back Into Court
to Hear Testimony on
Autos In Glen Again.
Woman Member Ill at
Heart and Has to Send
Out for Medicine.

Los Angeles. March 17.-The jury
in the case of Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain charged with conspiring to
murder her sweetheart, ]. Belton Ken
nedy. was locked up for the night at
9:25 p. m. having failed to reach 4
|yerdict. The nine men and three women
on the jury had been deliberating about
six and one half hours at that time.
Judge Sidney \. Reeve, in ordering
the jurors locked up. directed they
return to the jury room not later than
10 O'Clock Saturday morning Court
room rumors were to the effect that
they were divided 8 TO 3 for at least
part of the time they were balloting
but there was no information which
pretended to authenticity. which indi-
Gated how the majority balloted. Court
attaches predicted the jury might stay
out as long as the one which heard

defendant. Arthur Burch That jury
was discharged after having been out
Il hours, standing 10 to , for con-
viction.
Wanted Point Made Clear
The only official word from the jury
came late in the afternoon, when it
came into court and asked q portion
of testimony be read. Frank w.
Crockett, retired lawyer of Pasadena
spoke for the jury as its foreman.
The foreman said at least one of the
jurors was in doubt concerning the
testimony of a prosecution witness re-
garding automobile lights he said he
saw in Beverly Glen on the night Ken
nedy was slain there The uncertainty
the foreman said, was whether the
lights came from the car in which Mrs
Obenchain and Kennedy drove to the
glen. or from one which the state
charges was left in a side road by
Arthur Burch. co-defendant in the case.
Burch. the prosecution alleged. hid in
a clump of bushes waiting for Mrs
Obenchain to bring Kennedy within gun
shot range after parking his car.
Defendant Confident
The reading of the testimony showed
that the witness said he saw auto
mobile lights flashing on the trees along
the road leading through the glen but
did not locate them definitely. He said,
however. he did not see any lights
shining in the place where it was con-
tended Burch left his car
The jury retired again after the
reading.
