Chevrolet Will Have
Huge Used Car Sale

The greatest ten-day sale Of
used cars ever staged locally is
announced for tomorrow by all
the Chevrolet dealers in Wash.
ington and its vicinity. Automo-
biles of all makes, each COM
pletely reconditioned, will be
offered.
Unused transportation" is the
key-word of the sale, according to
A. L. Johnston, city sales man
ager. That is what these cars
really mean, service that has not
yet been used.
"Too many persons have the
wrong impression of used cars
and the values that lie in them.
Today cars are built with years
of life and limitless thousands Of
miles in them. Cars are traded in
when the bulk of their lives still
is ahead of them"

We all catch colds and they can make us miserable;
but yours needn't last long if you will do this Take
two three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as
possible after cold starts Stay in the house if you
can-keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two
of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours if those
symptoms of cold persist. Take good laxative when
you retire, and keep bowels open If throat is sore,
dissolve three tablets in quarter-gassfu of water
and gargle This soothes Inflammation and reduces
infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for
cold, throat. And it relieves aches and pains
almost instantly. The genuine tablets marked Bayer
are absolutely harmless to the heart.

duction and the abnormally large sugar
content in the sugar cane in that
country. due to long drouth and scarcity
of rainfall. Every expert who has
studied the world overproduction of
sugar believes that the present situation
will change and that influences under
way, together with natural conditions
attendant to the crop, will naturally
force the price of sugar UP.
Companies Not Losing.
But the facts do not reveal that the
economically operated and well located
sugar companies are losing money. OF
co,Irse. when those concerns invest their
capital in localities the conditions of
which are not adapted to the growing
of sugar beets or the raising of sugar
cane in competition with other crops
more profitable, the industry will as
s,lredly lag and become depressed. And
the history of many of our sugar COM
panies reveals the fact that they have
not prospered for these very reasons.
But take the sugar industry as whole,
those Companies in Continental United
states that have been economically OPP
Grated and the location of their plants
wisely determined, have shown enorm-
GUS earnings. The only sane way in
which to determine the difference in
cost of production of a product here
and abroad Is to take a product or
article produced or manufactured
economically and under efficient oper-
alton. To do otherwise would only add
unjustified burdens upon the American
people and assure too great profits to
those competitors. the business Of
which is operated economically and
efficiently.
In 1928 an aroused and indignant
public, when forced to pay more than
IL cents a pound for sugar, and that
under the present tariff rate, caused
President Harding to direct thorough
investigation by the Tariff Commission
so as to ascertain the difference in cost
of production here and abroad, and
determine any change from existing
rates. Following that investigation this
commission made a report in which it
recommended 1923 cents per pound as
a fair rate on Cuban sugar. In view
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-10

of that report and the facts disclosed
by 1t. there is no justification for an
increase over the present rate OF 1.T6
cents per pound, but there is every ar
gument for reducing 1t to the rates
found adequate and recommended by
the Tariff Commission.
But what about the poverty that 1t
is alleged has been visited upon these
sugar companies In our country? Com
panies representing over half of the
sugar production in Hawaii have earned
on the average per share as high as 80
per cent in one year and in the lowest
Is per cent. Over half of the Porto
Rican production shows profit paid of
over IL per cent, with earnings rang
ing as high as % per cent. over three
fourths of the beet sugar production
shows earnings, after depreciation and
taxes, per share of between ga and "a
per cent.
Huge Profits Paid.
Recently the Great Western Sugar
Co., an American concern located In
the Rocky Mountain section, a concern
that produces nearly 48 per cent OF the
beet sugar produced IN tne onlVe ca
States. paid profits at the rate OF 40
ner cent on the original investment.
This concern, the business of which is
we'll managed and whose factories are
economically located, has earned in the
last 10 years more than $75,0O0,0 900. 1t
has paid out in that time in dividends
more than $50,000000. Its assets today
are worth many times more than when
it began business in 1905. Few con-
Germs in this country have made such
enormous profits and evidenced such a
high degree of prosperity as this, the
largest of all sugar beet companies.
The Holly Sugar Corporation, which
produced nearly 10 per cent of the beet
sugar produced in this country last
year, according to its own statement,
showed years profit OF over u mil
lion dollars from a sale of only two
thirds of its output.
The Dahlberg Corporation, engaged
in the business Of producing sugar from
sugar cane-an organization which con-

trolls six subsidiary companies-in a
statement by its president two months
ago. stated that the total capital en-
ployed by his companies was in excess
of $50 900 900, and that the affairs of
all his companies were in excellent
shape and the outlook for each most
favorable.
Then, what justification is there for
adding to the swollen profits of these
prosperous corporations by imposing
heavier burdens in higher taxes upon
the breakfast table of every household
in this land? The press of this country
has spoken in no uncertain terms con-
demning such a step. Labor has lifted
its voice through its president, William
Green, against such action. He says
I'm my opinion, the increase in the
sugar schedule is unjustifiable and in
defensible. If passed in its present
form it would levy an unfair tax on
millions of workers whom I have the
honor to represent, for the purpose of
protecting an industry which the facts
show employs women, children and
Mexican labor at indecent wages and
under intolerable conditions of employ

of dollars: Of the duty carried in the
present law, the cost to him would have
been 219 millions Of dollars. II the
Senate committee increase is adopted
the cost will be approximately 273 mil
lions of dollars, and If the increase
adopted by the House is adopted by
the Senate the cost annually to the
American consumer will be $50 millions
of dollars. In other words. the increase
in 1922 of the duty above the rate car
ried in the act of 1909 cost the Ameri-
and if the Senate recommendation for
an increase is carried out it will be a
further annual increase of $54 ,000, 900,
and if the action of the House Is ap-
proved by the Senate 1t will add further
$131 100000.
Let me bring my illustration closer
home. There is one State in this
Union that uses approximately $780,
100000 pounds of sugar annually. If
the Senate finance committee recon-
mendation is adopted, increasing the
present duty on Cuban sugar to 2.20
cents a pound, then the people of that
one State will have to pay annually 5la
million dollars more than they now pay,
and they now pay $l5,000,000 annually,
by reason of the sugar tariff. Why tax
all the people-of more than 80 per
cent of the States in this Union-in
order to increase the protection on
sugar and give rather doubtful benefits
to few people in less than 10 per
cent of the States of this Union.
Much has been said by those who
propose the increase on the present
price of sugar and the spotted depres-
sion in the sugar industry. 1t is said
that there are sugar companies that
have lost money and they allege that
the industry today is depressed. The
present price of sugar is due to an
abnormally large world production. 1t
is the natural sequence to the over
production of any crop. What has hap
pened to sugar production during the
last year has been happening many
years to other agricultural crops. This
world overproduction in sugar has been
influenced particularly in Cuba, through
the removal of the limitations on pro-

Uninteresting to the public as is the
tariff question generally, I shall try
tonight to sweeten it by taking sugar
as my subject. 1 want to take you
