Filling In the Tax Burden

wv HEN Senator McCumber Landed tho
w pending Senate tariff bill as "a con
sumers tarin" he intended to convey the
impression that it was Il tariff in the interest
OF the consumers OF America. Nothing
could he further from the truth. But it
is a consumers tariff in the sense that
it is a tariff on the great body OF consum-
erS. the highest and most oppressive the
country has ever known. In the effort TO
fool the largest single class OF consumers
duties have been levied on certain products
OF the farm which will fail OF material benc-
III TO the farmers because prices for these
commodities are regulated by the demand
as reflected in the world markets. and
since We produce a surplus above our own
needs. this surplus must be marketed abroad
at prices that rule there. On the other hand
the duties on what the farmers buy such
as iron and steel products sugar household
goods and utensils. articles OF clothing OF
all sorts, leather and leather goods. lum-
Ter. building materials, etc. which have
been greatly advanced. will have very
decided effect unfavorable 10 the farmers
Take the one item OF sugar, for instance
as an example OF the losing game the farm
ers representatives played in agreeing TO
the general higher level OF rates in the new
tariff. In recent telegram 10 James r.
Howard, president of the American Farm
bUreau, VINO Is opposed 10 the pending bill.
the American producers OF Cuban sugar
point out that the increased duty on sugar.
amounting to SLIGO a hundred pounds will
impose on the American people a tax OF
$ls2,000,o00 on sugar consumed in this
country o! this sum about $4,000 600
.i'i go into the Federal treasury and ST.
100000 into the pockets OF domestic sugar
growers. This enormous subsidy il is pro-
posed TO pay TO an industry that supplies
less than one-fourth the sugar required TO
satisfy tie needs OF this country More
over, the Industry does not need the addi-
'lohai protection, as the dividend records
for the last ten-year period show tina, il
has thriven under l-cent-a pound tariff.
me same applies as to the large subsidies
that viii SO 10 various other industries pro
t"cted' by the higher rates OF the Senate
torin bill--largey exceeding the tariff re-
turns into the Federal treasury.
II the additional taxes 10 be imposed on
the American people were all TO be diverted
INTO the public treasury and the higher lev
les were necessary TO meet its obligations.
then there would he less ground for com
paint az the robbcv scheme that is being
ioisted on them But this is not the case
IL has been demonstrated by wears OF bitter
experience that the people pay 10 the pro-
iected industries. in tarin-incrcased pricas
several times more than they pay into the
