NEW SUGAR WAR
HITS SENATE

The controversy over sugar tariffs
assumed the aspects Of a political
war today when importers, refiners
and producers descended ON the
Senate Finance Committee to pro.
test against adoption Of the Smoot
'.sliding scale" OF duties.
While senator william e. Borah
tR) Of Idaho, announced he was
preparing to sponsor q bounty
plan" ais a substitute for the Smoot
scale, Rudolph SpreckIes, California
sugar magnate. came forward with
q rival scale. Spreckles was one
OF the group OF refiners, producers
and importers opposed to the Smoot
scale. He termed it unfair to
Cuba and worthless to the American
producer"
The Spreckies scale would spread
the tariff on Cuban sugar imports
between $1.O0 and $500 per hun.
bred pounds, applied to raw sugar
and ranging as the price OF raw
sugar rose or fell. The Smoot scale
would range from $50 to $40 per
hundred pounds. applied to refined
sugar, and ranging as the price OF
refined sugar in New York city rose
or fell.
Both Levels Alike
The two scales have one feature
IN common-Senator Reed Smoot
(R) Of Utah, said his would stabilize
the sugar market at s cents a
pound wholesale: Spreckles an
nounced his would stabilize it at
q similar level. In order to offset
Shoots higher range Of tariff rates.
Spreckles injected a fixed refiner's
margin into his scale. He likewise
included an internal revenue tax,
PAYABLE by the refiner when raw
sugar prices were low--thus in
creasing the margin between the
Cuban raw price and the refined
sugar price.
The Democratic. Insurgent coali.
ton, which has been tinkering with
the idea of bounty to American
sugar producers, meanwhile was
prepared to oppose both scales.
al view of the scale will reveal
that Spreckles would fix a price 1Of
81 per hundred pounds--or about
II cents a pound on the breakfast
table as the minimum price Tor
sugar. When the price Of raw sugar
IL low In Cuba--therefore low in
Porto Rico, the Philippines and Ha-
wall, where no duties apply The
would invoke an internal revenue
tax against the refiner in order to
keen the price of refined sugar at
the Sc level. This tax would In.
crease as the price of raw sugar
declined always bringing into the
Treasury greater revenue.
Protection Claimed
The tax. would be paid by re-
timers, whether sugar were refined
here or abroad. Under the Spreck-
les scale, the Cuban planter would
be relieved Of the higher duties
levied under Shoots scale when q
similar decline occurred in the price
ST raw sugar. The, Smoot scale
under such circumstances would in
crease to $40 per hundred pounds.
while Epreckles' always would stop
1t the 81 maximum.
s.NGy scale, said Spreckles, would
urotect the American consumer
against runaway markets and the
American producer at all times.
There could be no profiteering by
refiners, as the tax would halt any
such practice l am opposed to the
Smoot scale because II would not
do this. oppose that scale first,
because il Is unjust and unfair to
Cuba, and second, because it never

JUDGE DEFENDS
TAXI DRIVERS

Taxicab drivers have champion
in the person of Judge John P.
McMahon, now sitting on the Traf.
fic Court bench.
MY experience does not indicate
that cab drivers cause trouble out
of proportion to their numbers"
said the Judge. ''It Is true they are
brought into court frequently, but
they are seldom arralsned on the
more serious charges"
Hackers come to the court in
large numbers for violation of the
hack-stand regulations and for
speeding. Judge Mcmahon said. but
he did not consider these serious
charges.
Judge Mcmahon expressed himself
as being in favor OF strict super.
vision of hackers. Character refer
ences and accident liability insur-
ance were among the requirements
which he stressed as desirable.
When he was informed that the
Universal Taxicab Company plans
to place a number of cabs on the
street on the basis of renting them
to operators who will drive them
themselves. Judge McMahon said
he saw no cause for alarm in an
increase, in the number of cabs on
the streets.
Urges Uniform Rule
1t is a natural consequence of
the city's growth, he said.
He added. however. that he did
not think the plan would be safe"
unless the drivers who rent the taxi.
cabs from the company were placed
under identical regulations now af.
fecting hackers operating on the
streets, under H.tags.
The added responsibility on
driver brought about by regulations.
he said, is a factor which favors
safe and careful driving on the part
Of cab drivers.

FINANCE
EXPERTS QUIT

THE HAGUE, Aug. 20 Q.N.S.).-
The committee of treasury experts
appointed to draft a joint report
showing the monetary differences
between Great Britain and the other
powers adjourned. today, admitting
that joint report Is impossible.
The Hague reparations confer.
ence, which was summoned to settle
the remaining problems left over by
the great war, was thus brought
closer to the rocks of disaster.
Hopes of averting a complete
breakdown of the conference then
centered upon Chancellor of the
Exchequer Philip Snowden, of
Great Britain, and Premier Aristide
BRAND of France, who were to
meet at the tea table this evening
for private discussion of the situa.
tiOn.
The French claimed that so per
cent of the British demands were
met. Snowden claimed that only
20 per cent were covered by the
Horsepower proposals.
The breach between England and
France has been further widened
by the British decision to begin
evacuation of the Rhineland in
September. regardless of the out
come of the present conference.
A breakdown of the reparations
conference would mean postpone.
ment of the settlement of the
vexatious war cost" problem by
two or three years. in the opinion
of Government officials here.
They do not believe either the
allies or Germany can afford to
permit the situation to continue as
it is under the Dawes plan. provid-
ing that the German government
must pay $685., 900, 900 in annuities.
