diately and the work was thus thrown
on the open market, to be seized upon
eagerly by 16 different publishers
within three months.
In Foreign Lands
Similarly, the lack of an interna-
tional copyright permitted the wave of
popularity of the book to sweep across
the Atlantic to England, where 20 diff
ferent publishers began issuing edi-
tions almost simultaneously.
Since then I'm His Steps has been
translated into almost every impor-
tant language. There are some edi-
tions even in the dialects of West
Africa.
Next to the Bible it is doubtful If
any book has had as large circula-
tion as I'm His Steps" during the last
80 years.

Readers VS.. Profits
"After ALL" he reasoned, "the main
thing about a book is to have it read,
and not particularly to have it reap an
income for its author If I had wished
to reap big profits, ] never would have
entered the ministry in the first place.
"Too, feel the fact that the copy
right was found defective undoubtedly
, increased the circulation of the novel.
Publishing houses that might never
have touched it otherwise took it up
and made it available to common peo-
pie everywhere.
l'It would, have been wholly out of
keeping with the spirit of the work for
pastor to write a story about what
he believes Jesus would do if He were
on earth, and then earn $1,O0O,OOO or
more from the sale of it,"
why It's Popular
Dr. Sheldon accounts for the wide
circulation of the book by asserting
that nothing ever has been or ever
will be more interesting to people than
religion"

Sugar and Income Tax

EV1HEN you go to the corner grocery and
wv pay 61s cents for pound of granulated
sugar, cents of it is tariff tax. You are pay
ing Az cents for the sugar. The other cents
is divided between Uncle Sam and the Ameri-
can sugar barons.
The total tax is $246,000,000 a year, ac-
cording to M. Doran secretary of the American
Sugar Association, at a conference on the tariff
held by the Peoples Reconstruction League in
Washington recently.
Americans have a great sweet tooth, he
said, and eat an average of LOT pounds of sugar
a year, so that the tariff slice of the Nation s
sugar bill is $2.14 per person, or 5000 extra
to be paid by the head of family of five.
This is equal to the income tax paid by him
now if he is making $4,45O year 1t is more
than the average relief for 100000 small
taxpayers proposed in the income tax-cut bill
about which SO much noise is being made.
But there is no move to lower the sugar
tax, and there won't be- as was shown when
President Coolidge about year ago refused to
follow the advice of his tariff commission and
lower it.
Doran said the Government collects di-
rectly $144,0OO0OO on sugar imported into this
country and the remaining $102,0O0,000 is pure
subsidy to American sugar manufacturers.
1t has resulted in large profits to these in
terests, he said. The Great Western Sugar
Company, one of the largest, showed loss of
about $S,36O,O00 for 1921, but in 1922 it made
$6,S79,O00, in 1923 $12,0O4,pOO, in 1924 $1O,-
$4,000, and is now paying per cent on pre-
ferred stock and 80 per cent on common Other
companies have similar histories.
About 300 pounds of beet sugar is made
from ton of sugar beets, he said, so that the
taritf-tax alone means Sc ton to the manu-
facturers. In contrast with this, the minimum
price to farmers for their beets in the six
States where most beets are grown is So ton,
SO the manufacturers can pay the farmers their
minimum out of the tariff subsidy alone and
have ST. ton left.
The farmers are not being benefited by the
tariff

BAIL BOND
BUSINESS

1.-THE judges Of the four
municipal courts in Indian
IL apolis. which came into
existence Jan. 1. have adopted a
rule that professional bondsmen
who loiter around police station
at unusual hours soliciting bust
ness will not be accepted as bonds
men in the new courts.
Apparently that is a slap at the
professional bail bond business. 1t
may purify the temple Of justice
somewhat, but it is doubtful.

hang around the police station at
all hours of day and night solicit

friendless, petty offenders
DRINKS. speeders and the like.
Without them a stranger or poor
devil, jagged for some petty
offense at an unreasonable hour,
might find the bond necessary for
his release as hard to raise as
the national debt.
So, while the lettering pro-
fessional bondsmen may be vul-
lures, to some casual offenders
they have all the aspects Of a good
Samaritan.
The real disgrace Of the bail
bond business is not the profess
sional bondsmen who hang around
police court but the shameful
laxity of judges who release sea-
