MEETING FoREIGNCO COMPETITION

The American producers of Cuban sugar are exerting their utmost influence to prevent in creasing the tariff on foreign sugar from *1.OO to- ,$1 60 bun- dred pounds. They argue that this is a subsidy accorded to the American beet sugar industry and call it tax on the people.
 The other si6e of the story is that the Cuban sugar producer raises his raw sugar in a coup- try where the cheapest kind of common labor is obtaina bla. He asks that be be allowed this cheap labor subsidy so that he can ship his raw sugar or finish ed product into the United Sta tes in competition with American beet sugar produced by Amer ican workmen at American wages and outsell our home product in such manner as would force our beet sugar factories out of business.
 It takes no argument to show that the subsidy of cheap labor enjoyed by the Cuban sugar pro ducer must be met by d tariff Ou a product produced under such conditions, as will allow Amer ican manufacturer of beet sugar to at least have an even break on minimum price at which sugar can be sold in this coun- try.
 Instead of allowing the Cuban sugar producers to outsell the American producer, put him out of business aud 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 manufacture au equal chance at the business and brings into the government a revenue which offsets other tax bills by the amount collected from for eign 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 traffic. We are simply trying to protect and encourage 1 the growth of a very important industry within our own borders. The Manufacturer.

BANKS CARRYING LOAD.

J. K. Mccormack, president, Union Securities Co.,. Spokane, in an address before the Grain Growers, Millers and Shippers | Association in convention in Spokane, stated basic truth when he said that the farmers do not need more money from the banks to go deeper into debt but better prices for many of the things they have to sell and lower prices for things they must buy.
 Mir. Mccormack, whose com pany operates 24 banks in Inland Empire communities and who has been in close touch with country banks and wheat grow ing for B years, said: A well run safe and conservative bank is blessing to any community and everyone in it, while a poor ly run. inefficient, selfish, over expanded bank which encour- ages speculation and overexpan- sion in it's community is a men, ace and injury to everyone.."
 Showing the full part that banks are taking in community development and the load which they are carrying for farmers and producers generally, MT. Mccormack pointed out that the country banks with which he is connected have about $1O, GOO out in loans of which 80 percent is due to the banks from pro ducers while the bulk of the re maininR 20 per cent is due from country merchants who are car rying producers to the limit. This ratio, he believes, will hold sod with other country banks
 MT. McCornack's statement or conditions refutes the wild charges that are made that the American banking system has been crushing the life out of the farmer by forcing sale of crops at ruinouS prices.
 If it were not for our banking system which has carried the producers load to the limit of its ability, crops would have been dumped" in manner which would have completely shattered any market stability.

DEMOCRATS ARE
PLANNING SPLIT
In SOLID OHIO
PreIiminaries Are Well Under Way
For the Coming Red-Hot PO-
Iitical Contests

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 22.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Plans for the
coming political campaign in Ohio in
which Democrats seek to change the
makeup of the solidly Republican
state administration and congressional
delegation and return to the upper
house of congress, Senator Atlee Pom
creme, were being made here.
Republicans, too, as well as the
Democrats, were holding their state
convention at which ratification OF
platforms and selection Of a chair
man of the Republican executive COM
mittee was the main business.
Party leaders in earnest conference
prior to the actual calling Of the
convention, declared that neither par
ty faced a fight of consequence over
platforms. Rumors that attempts
would be made by certain Democrats
to insert in their platform a plank for
Jury trials OF all violations of state
laws-said to be aimed at prohibition
enforcement-were belittled by the
Democrats.
The League of Nations issue, 1t was
said, would not find a place in the
state platform According to custom
it was presumed that the 1920 plat
form which supported the League OF
Nations would be re-endorsed.
The reported announcement by
State Senator Burkem of Elyria and
his colleague, George H. Bender OF
/ Cleveland, that they would seek to in
sert Progressive" planks in the Re
publican platform, apparently was re-
ceiving only minor consideration from
the Republican camp.
Keynote speakers of both parties
were expected to touch upon national
issues, for both are members Of the
present congress and will oppose each
other as candidates for the United
States senate. Senator Atlee Pome
rene will fire the opening gun for the
Democrats, while Representative Sim
con d. Fess, his opponent, will SCI
forth the Republican ideals.

ROTARIANS GIVEN CLOSE
UP VIEW OF LAKELAND'S
EXPANDING PHONE SYSTEM

Lakeland RotarianS and their guests
were told all about the operations oI
the Lakeland telephone exchange, 4
part of the Peninsular Telephone Sys
TEN that is doing business in this
section of Florida, by Rotarian w. +
Cock. the Lakeland manager. In an
interesting ten-minute talk. Rotaran
Cook sketched the expansion of the
the telephone system in this city, re
calling that in 1913 there were in
operation G60 telephones. The figures
for 1916 were $50; for 1917 they were
an even one thousand, in 1918 only
fifteen phones were added but the
year 1919 jumped the total an even
hundred. 1t was in 1920 that almost
two hundred telephones were in
stalled. the total that year being 1910.
In 1921 the figures showed 1477 in the
spring and 1902 in the autumn while
the latest figures, those of July "a of
this year are 1886 telephones. The
information was given that very
large investment will soon have to be
made in new equipment because OF
Lakeland's contiued growth. To
meet present emergencies another ad-
dition is being made to the present
switchboard whereby it will be possi-
BILE to use five operators instead of the
maximum four as at present. This
additional equipment will be in be
fore the opening of the new season.
A query as to when Lakeland will
have an automatic system as now be-
ing operated in Tampa and Barlow,
Rotarian Cook shook his head, the re-
ply being that when Lakeland was
ready to pay the cost but the ques-
tion brought about divided opinion
as to the merits and dement's of the
service the bachelor Rotarians be-
ing especially insistent that the pres
ent arrangement is far preferable to
the antomatics. AS matter OF in
formation Rotarian Cook gave an i'll
sight into the tremedous number OF
calls that come in during an average
day, starting with limited number
after midnight and up to daylight and
then steadily increasing from two to
three hundred an hour around break
fast time to more than thirteen hun
dred an hour during the forenoon
business rush. He said that the local
exchange is endeavoring to render
satisfactory service but that the CO.
operation of patrons of the system is
absolutely necessary.
Rotarian bill" OFT had as his guest
George Mangnam Of Austin, Texas
who told the Rotarians what fine
city it is in which they are living.
Egbert Lusk gave a report of the
doings out at Flaming Arrow Camp
where the Boy Scouts are spending 9
profitable and enjoyable two weeks
inviting ali Rotarians to visit the
camp from time to time.
In the absence of Rotarine Jose
phine" Johnson, the Rotary accom-
panist, Robert Brown functioned in
that important position.
Chairman w. S. Irwin, of the edu
cational committee, is ready to sprina
q surprise at next Tuesdays meeting
by some educational tests that are
going to prove interesting.
