Sugar Consumption Follows Cost

just what there is in the nature of
that former luNury-and present ne
cessity - sugar, that periodically
brings about wide fluctuations in its
price, does not seem to be known.
Whether owing to Cuban insurrec-
tions, decreased supplies Of beet su-
gar, or partial cane crop failures,
prices of sugar have varied greatly.
After a period during which it has
been sold at a price said to be much
below the cost of production it is now
attracting attention by marked ad-
vance.
The postwar speculation, or appre-
hension Of possible worldwide scar
city of sugar, forced prices up to 20
and even 25 cents per pound, with the
immediate result of disclosing large
stocks in unsuspected regions, that
brought about a collapse in price
Spurred by the expectation of high
prices, the chief sugar-producing coun-
ties increased their crops to the ut
most, and in consequence a large por-
tion of the Cuba crop of 1921-1922 was
sold as low as two cents per pound.
Had prices remained anywhere near
that figure, the production of cane
and beet sugar in the United States
would have been made impossible, even
with the protection afforded by the
tariff on foreign sugars.
The gradual recovery in sugar prices
from their lowest point year or so
ago indicates that the law of increas-
ed consumption following reduced
costs applies to sugar, as well as other
staple commodities.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Turning to Trades.

The Apprenticeship Commission of
New York Builders Congress has un-
dertaken a highly useful task in ar
ranging to give the boys of New York
City an opportunity to learn the skill
ed trades, particularly in building con-
struction. There is dearth of skill
ed workmen, and surplus of youths
who do not know how to make an hon
est living. The report of the State
Probation Commission shows tina. H.
900 youths under 81 years of age we're
sent to prison in the past five years
most of them undoubtedly boys who
had never learned how to work and
sought to get money by some illegal
means. Satan always finds mischief
for idle hands to do. There is an or
ganized effort throughout the United
States to keep every boy in school, un-
til he has completed the high school,
and then to send most of them to col
lege for four years and then to pro-
fessional school for four years more,
dllei WHICH tney are " uc tuiHcu oul
to seek professional jobs that pay less
than plumbing or bricklaying or car
pentering. 1t is a common criticism
of salaries of teachers that they are
less than the compensation of brick
layers. The explanation is simple
there is more demand for bricklayers,
in proportion to the supply, than there
is for teachers. The trouble lies large
ly in the fact that too many are train
ed for teaching and not enough for
bricklaying, with the result that sur
plus of teachers cuts the salaries while
a scarcity of bricklayers forces high
wages in that occupation. American
boys have a right to equality Of OPP
portunity, and they are not getting it
under a system that practically forces
them to prepare for the occupations
that pay the smaller returns.

unclassified land is in mountain and
western slope counties, where home
stead filings have been heavy in re-
cent years. Among eastern Colorado
counties there are but few that show
large areas of unpatented homestead
land, the principal one being Las An
imas county, where more than 1,OOO,-
900 acres of homestead land was filed
on in the past six years. Moffat coun-
ty also shows close to 200, 900 acres
of homestead in process of being prov
ed up, while Rio Blanco county shows
about 2S3 900 acres. Very few eastern
Colorado counties show much as l00,-
900 acres, as most of the homestead
land in this section of the state is al
ready proved up and on the tax rolls.
In some eastern Colorado counties,
however, it is evident that the acre
age of patented land appearing on the
tax rolls is too small and the taxed
area will not equal the area of the
counties when all homestead land is
patented.

While the Republican administra-
ton of national affairs is doing all in
its power to enforce the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution, the
Democratic administration of the State
of New York is trying to find way
to evade that amendment. And the
Democrats of New York are planning
to make their governor a candidate
for the presidency. Wonder what kind
of law-evasion platform the Demo-
cratic convention will write for him
to stand upon.

Hark. From the Tombs Some Doleful
Cries.

Speaking Monday evening at ban
quet of the Florida State Bar Associa-
tion, where, due to the latitude, it was
considered appropriate to deliver a
partisan Democratic harangue, form
er Governor James NJ. Cox declared
that the United States "was not en-
joying the fruits of peace" because
the American government had made
a "craven and cowardly retreat from
our responsibilities, and abandonment
as well of the principles for which our
heroic soldiers died"
This sounds like leftover stump
speech from Mr.. Cox's 1920 campaign.
Has Governor Cox so soon forgotten
the verdict rendered by the American
people upon such sentiments a little
more than two years ago? Has he
The Lamar register., 1923-03-28

overlooked the fact that running on
that sort of platform he received the
worst trimming" ever administered
to a Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent since the birth of his party?
What sort of peace fruit" does
Governor Cox think the American
people are missing? The kind they
are eating in Europe, under the blight
of the stupid and disastrous peace
treaty President Wilson helped to
write, and which intelligent conlmen-
tarians the world over now agree is
directly responsible for the failure of
Europe to progress toward normalcy?
If there has been a "craven and
cowardly retreat from our response
bilities" in Europe, whatever they may
be in the opinion of our pro-Europeans
then the American people are the crav-
ems and towards responsible for the
failure to involve this country in
Europe's continued bankruptcy and
bloodshed. After the booting Govern
or Cox received at the polls on his
program of European ENHANCEMENT,
he may have a very poor opinion of
the intelligence and courage of the
American people, but he is not going
to get anywhere politically by abus-
ing his countrymen and defaming his
country.
I
present at the banquet where Gov.
Cox relieved himself of these ideas
endorsed everything Governor Cox
said" 1t is encouraging to know that
Colonel Bryan has at last some clear
idea of where he stands on the League
of Nations and the policy of using
American life and treasure in wild
goose chasing for European peace and
prosperity. While the league ques-
tion was up Colonel Bryan performed
straddle that was at least evidence
of his political agility.
If old Andrew Jackson could have
heard these speeches abusing the
American government for its failure
to sacrifice American in behalf of
European interests, he would have
used his vocabulary and hickory cane
as vigorously about that banquet board
as he did his sword in suppressing
the Seminole rebellion against Amer
lean authority or General Pakenham's
attempt to restore Louisiana to the
status of European province.
When Governor Cox and Colonel
Bryan get back from their vacation
trips to Florida they will find indus
trial America on the boom and the
market for political gloom diminish
ing as the market for the products of
American farms, factories and mines
enlarges. Again the American people
are witnessing the miracle of pros
perity's restoration under Republican
legislation and administration. Amer
leans live in the one country in the
world where there is peace, progress
and stability. Despite all the cater
waulings of the defeated Democratic
presidential candidates the American
people have no desire to trade peace
for war, stability for chaos or solven-
cy for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Republi-
can.

The amount recommended 10 $4,000

At the opening OF the meeting.
Chairman Martin II. Kenney OF the
board of public works called on the

avoiding the construction of six
bridges the cost of which will be
$4,000: and routine work on lateral
sewers will bring the costs up an
additional $4,000 or s125.000 In all.
The streets where lateral work has
been ordered are: Carlson. Wells,
Kelsey. Bank, Jerome, South, Smith
and Monroe streets.
Petitions have been received for
work In the following streets. many
of which. the engineer said, are in
actual need Of early improvements:
Shuttle Meadow. Corbin, Lakeview
and Mason avenues, Somerset Drive,
Jerome, Clinton and Trumbull streets.
Grove Hill Discussed.
Mayor Paonessa asked the men,
bers for an expression OF opinion on
the grove Hill matter. In the alb
sence of any request for funds, the
board could take no action, 1t was
explained. City Engineer Williams
said permanent pavement would cost
about $10,500, which with the $500
already spent for grading would bring
the cost to $4,000. On property as
sessment the city would receive
$4,000, reducing the cost to the city
to $4,000. For mi-permanent pave
ment the cost would be $500 plus
$500 already spent, totalling $4,000
and making the cost to the city the
same as for permanent pavement
Members of the board expressed
feeling that because Grove Hill is
not heavily traversed, semi permanent
pavement should be laid. They also
agreed with the recommendation of
the public works board that macad-
am base should be laid this year and
money appropriated next year for an
amiesite top.
