"But that isn't ALL There is good
deal of talk about monopolies. There
is no way to curb such combines ex-
cept by competition. To reduce the
sugar tariff would be playing into the
hands of the sugar importers because
beet production would thereby be
minimized. And 1t does seem strange
that so-called opponents Of the sugar
