Meeting Foreign Competition

The American producers of Cuban
sugar are exerting their utmost IN
fluence to prevent increasing the tar
iff on foreign sugar from s1.OO to
SLIGO hundred pounds. They argue
that this is a subsidy accorded to the
American beet sugar industry and call
it tax on the people.
The other side of the story is that
the Cuban sugar producer raises his
raw sugar in country where the
cheapest kind of common labor is OBJ
tainable. He asks that he be allowed
this cheap labor subsidy so that he
can ship raw sugar or finished product
into the United States in competition
with American beet sugar produced
by American workmen at American
wages and outsell our home product
in such a manner as would force our
beet sugar factories out of business.
1t takes no argument to show that
the subsidy of cheap labor enjoyed by
the Cuban sugar producer must be
met by tariff on product produced
under such conditions, as will allow
American manufacturers of beet sugar
to at least have an even break on
minimum price at which sugar can be
sold in this country.
Instead of allowing the Cuban su-
gar producers to outsell the American
producer, put him out of business and
the government get no revenue for the
privilege enjoyed by foreigners of
trading in this country and outselling
our own people, the moderate tariff
proposed simply gives an American
manufacturer an equal chance at the
business and brings into the govern
ment a revenue which offsets other
tax bills by the amount collected from
foreign sugar producers.
There is no intention on the part of
the United States to strike down the
advantageous and desirable relations
which have existed between the United
States and Cuba in regard to sugar
tariff. We are simply trying to pro-
tect and encourage the growth Of a
very important industry within our
own borders.

No Lagging.

At the International Livestock Ex-
position, held at Chicago recently,
there were more cattle, hogs and sheep
of superior merit on exhibition than
had been brought together before in
America. The display of specimens
of improved corn, wheat, oats, clovers
and grasses, especially from the Santa
Fe states of the Great Southwest, new
er has been equalled. Stockmen and
farmers gathered around the animal
and crop exhibits, and discussed their
superior merits with apparently as
much interest as though these animals
and crops were bringing prices that
returned profit instead of loss.
"Of more significance than the
splendid display OF farm animals and
crops at the International was the dis
play of the faith Of the farmer in the
future of his business, and of the evil
dent determination to keep his eyes to
the front and go ahead" says the
Kansas City Star. Apparently there
is to be no tagging in the improve
ment of farm methods or the better
ment of farm animals and crops. The
farmer knows as well as anyone else
that agriculture is the basic industry;
and that if there is no future for it
there is no future for any other in
dustry or even for our civilization.
These men of the soil feel that agri-
revive, as it was the first to feel the
blow that prostrated all business.
While one cannot say that there is
great optimism among farmers, one
can in truth say there is great deter
mination not to lose faith in the fu-
ture Of this great industry.'-The

Famous Bohemian violinist Coming.

Famous Bohemian Vi0linist Coming.
1t is only once in a generation that
man by the power of his genius
speaks through the almost insurmount-
able barriers and obstacles surround
ing him, and rises to pre-eminence
over the rank and file. Such man
is Konecny, who will appear at the
High School auditorium under the aus
pices of the American Legion, on Feb
ruary 23rd, in single concert on his
present American tour.
The following interesting sketch of
his career appeared in one of the Chi
cago magazines:
A son of Bohemian blacksmith
n struggler among millions of strug-
glers, Josef Konecny has been all over
the world. He has played concerts in
the worlds dark corners and crowded
cities of both Orient and Occident He
has literally educated himself, speaks
English like he owned the language,
writes it like son of Addison him
self, and besides commands his Bo-
hemian, French, Spanish and German.
The public will welcome him, for he
stands for achievement. And he is a
virtuoso. They will hear the great
things played greatly. They will hear
the result of years of the hardest
study and practice, fused by the hot,
intense Slavic blood. He studied with
Sevick at Vienna and in Bohemia.
Sevcik made Kubelik, Kocain. Marie
Hall, and others, and Konecny is an
enthusiastic exponent of the school.

Income Tax Facts.

The new requirement of the income
tax law that returns shall be made of
gross income of s5 900 or more regard
less of the amount of net income upon
which the tax is assessed, necessitates
careful compution on the part of the
taxpayer. "Gross income" includes
practically every dollar received by
the taxpayer during the year 1921 in
salaries, wages, commissions, rents,
royalties, interest on bank deposits.
cash dividends on stock, or "income
from any source whatsoever" met
income" is gross income less certain
deductions provided for by the act in
cluding all business expenses incurred
in the conduct of business, trade.
profession, or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deductible as business expense
when made for the purchase Of articles
more or less permanent in character.
or for permanent Improvement of
property. For example, a merchant
would not be allowed to deduct the
amount expended in the erection of a
new store, or farmer the cost of n
new tractor or threshing machine,
since such investments are held to be
capital investments. The law express
ly prohibits the deduction of family or
living expenses, such as rent for a
dwelling, repairs to a dwelling, cost of
food and clothing for the family, edu-
cation of children, servants wages,
and similar items. Amounts spent dur
ing the year 1921 for any of these
items are not deductible.
