COMMITTEE GIVEN
SUGAR TARIFF ROW.
Request Made That Levy on
Raw Product Be Raised
Cent a Pound.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The long controversy over the sugar
tariff was given today to the House
ways and means committee now hear
ing proposals for revision of duties and
at the outset request was made that
the levy on raw sugar be raised / cent
a pound.
The present tariff is % cents and
the increase, proposed by Fred Cum
mings of Fort Collins, Colo, on behalf
of the Mountain States Beet Growers
Association, would make the duty on
Cuban sugar ESQ cents. The Cuban
product would not feel the full effect
of the raise because it is granted 20
per cent reduction in the duty under
the preferential trade treaty with the
United States. Cuba now pays l.76
cents.
First Witness Heard.
The first witness of six groups ready
with conflicting views on the subject,
Cummings argued that beet growers
could not raise beets at profit under
the existing rate. Last year, he said,
they barely met the cost of production,
which he placed at 81 ton. The in
crease. he said, would allow the grow
ers to make 81 ton profit on sugar,
which was the average profit In the
three years before 1923.
Cummings contended the 1-cent raise
would not increase cost to the American
housewife more than so cents a year,
adding that sugar was the only food
product selling at this time at pre-
war prices. while farmers machinery
costs had increased 65 per cent He
also declared that unless present duty
free Philippine sugar imports were linz
tied, the beet sugar growers of the
West would have to go out OF busi-
ness.
Dislikes Word Relief"
"T don't like the word relief" Cum
n1ings said. THE farmers are entitled
to ordinary, decent treatment. They
are not seeking charity"
Under questioning the witness said
the United States grew about so per
cent of the sugar it consumed, the other
half being imported, 80 per cent from
Cuba.
The proposal to restrict Philippine
imports developed into a discussion OF
Philippine independence.
Representative Collier, Democrat,
Mississippi, asked if it would not be
proper to treat the islands right or
turn them loose"
"If we turn them loose" he observed,
swe could place the same tariffs against
their products as against those of other
countries"
I'VE have been good to the Philip
pines" Cummins declared. adding that
the farmers of this country were en-
titled to the same treatment. In fact,
they should come first"
