WASHINGTON Probably everyone
who ever wrote story about the
tariff wondered whether anyone else
ever would read it. The doubt has
discouraged many stories which have
not been missed.
Recent developments such as the
senate's passage of the McNaster reso-
luton, however, indicate that some day
the tariff may be put on q business
basis. Meanwhile there may be more
tariff stories to read The question
is tied up with such important mat
ters as prosperity, commodity prices,
wages and international relations, so
why not?
The key to the tariff situation is
that those interests which don't bene-
fit from the tariff don't want any
and that those which benefit from a
tariff want all they can get. These
two classes no doubt will clash end
lessly, with occasional compromises.
Perhaps one way to make a tariff
story more or less interesting is to tie
it up with some particular commodity.
Present efforts for legislation by the
beet sugar industry come to mind and
will be cited because the industry is
not asking for the earth, and its argu-
mentS concern the national consump-
ton of sugar, which nearly all of us
have eaten at one time or another.
The world eats 250O00O0 tons of
sugar year About 100000 tons of
it is beet sugar. The United States
consumes 60OOOOO tons a year. Half
of that is Cuban cane sugar, a sixth
is domestic beet sugar and most of the
rest comes from Hawaii the Philip
pines and Porto Rico, with $4,000 or
10000 tons of cane from Louisiana.
Beets- furnish nearly all our domestic
sugar production.
Hawaiian, Filipino and Porto Rican
sugar is imported free 0f duty. Other
foreign nations are subjected to
tariff of $22O 2 ton, except in the case
of Cuban sugar on which the duty is
$1.76.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-02-18


Lately the sugar industry has been
cursed with over production. Beet
sugar factory earnings have been low
in recent years as a result and some
factories have been closed down There
are, incidentally now "a such factories
operating in 10 states.
The beet sugar companies want
some curb put on Filipino sugar. Up
to 1913 Filipino sugar was duty free
up to 100000 tons, which never was
reached In that year, restriction was
removed altogether Now the annual
importation from the islands is 100000
tons, an increase of 300 per cent since
1913. The beet sugar industry wants
the duty free importations limited to
100000 tons, recalling that the Cuban
production once doubled in three
years.
Congress is being informed that the
government is now sacrificing do
mestic industry for a possession 1000
miles away; that Filipino sugar is
raised by cheap tenant farmer sys-
tenn which has sometimes almost ap-
preached peonage, whereas American
beet farmers are paid at 2 fixed rate,
an aggregate of $55,OOO,O00 year

in Douglas on Sunday at b. m. for
the purpose OF electing officers and
planning the work Of the year 1923.
To those who are not familiar with

Locale $50 is the local voiture or
chapter which extends throughout
Cochise county. Members from every
town in the county will be present
at the meeting Sunday and following
the selection of the new offices a
program for the year will be outlined.
The name 40 and comes from the
French cattle car in which American
soldiers were transported all over
France, Belgium and the German
frontiers during the war. On the
side of these cars a sign was painted
stating that the car would hold 8
horses or 40 men.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
TOO LATE


(Reports from Alaska say that polar
bears are unusually plentiful and
cheap.
My luck is rarely running strong
AS through this world fare,
I've always had to get along
Without polar bear.
A polar bear which felt no lure
In power or place or pelf,
But, when it loved me, would be sure
To love me for myself
How often have I thought that care
From my sad heart would fall
If but had q polar bear
To answer to my call
To guard my humble bungalow,
To share my frugal meals,
And, when I journeyed to or fro
To follow at my heels.
My means have managed to suffice
To furnish bed and fare
But / have never had the price
To buy polar bear.
Once almost worth their weight in
gold,
This price of course was steep,
Yet recently, so I've been told,
They're going rather cheap.
I might indulge myself today
And buy a polar bear
Whose pretty pranks would drive away
My load of grief and care.
But no such joy shall light my life,
For though I found q cheap one,
I'm fairly certain that my wife
Would never let me keep one!

General Censured General

When Charles G. Dawes, vice
president OF the United States, was
serving in France during the World
war as brigadier general, he often
displayed breezy and carefree
negligence IN the matter o. military
etiquette, explains James ODonnen
Bennett, who tells OF an incident
when Pershing, Dawes lifelong
friend, was compelled to take the
vice president in han, in an article in
Liberty.
"Pershing was standing on one side
of the road in conference with
Marshal Foch," writes the author
"The cannon were booming. Dawes,
overcoat unbuttoned-includ the
hooks at the top-was On the other
side Of the road with group OF
French officers. Pershing shot
withering glance at Dawes, then
turned and whispered to his chief CT
staff, General Harbord. Harbord
crossed the road and carefully hooked
and buttoned Dawes overcoaU, MUIR
muring: This is a fine ioh for the
chief Of staff-but the general told
me to do it,"

floating population OF Canton is es-

cargo flats and seas going junks.
The original OF these river faring
people is one of the most interest.
ing tales to be heard about this city
Of southern China. The tale goes
that these aboriginal Chinese took
to the water three centuries ago.
when the Manchu Tartar hordeS
from the north conquered China and
the alien Ching dynasty. replaced
the Chinese Mings as the rulers Of
the middle kingdom,
These Chinese at Canton refused
to give allegiance TO the Manchu
barbarians and sought to escape by
living atloat. The new dynasty res
taliated by including the boat popu-
actors, BARRIERS and criminals-all Of
whom were debarred from public
examinations and from government
service. This ban was not lifted I'm.
til the revolution of 1911.
Among the many interesting boat
types of Canton. the curious clipper

Portable and very fast The coastal
junks are peculiar in that their
heavy. square rugged sails rest part
OF their weight on the masts, which
are inclined forward five degrees. In
