of maintaining the National Capital while steadily in
creasing the local share has brought the city to fiscal
point at which local expenses cannot be met under exist
ing tax laws.
In years past has satisfied the personal desires Of
few of its members by letting them dictate financial
policy toward the National Capital which threatens
disaster
Indifferent to the condition which they creating,
the members of the House faced by reality.
THEY ARE COMPELLED TO REALIZE THAT
ALL RESIDENTS OF THE DISTRICT MUST BE
TAXED UNBEARABLY TO MEET THE DEFICIT
WHICH THE HOUSE POLICY HAS CREATED.
But that realization is not enough to make the
House consider tax bill when there is slight
suggestion that Representatives we'll low salared
residents of the city ght have to pay share of the
increased tax load.
We hold no brief for the tax bill as reported by the
District Committee
It is, in our opinion bad bill in most of its provi-
sions and particularly in the section dealing with the
local income tax.
Nevertheless it is amazing that members Of great
national legislature should refuse to give considera
ton to proposed by committee of its own
members simply because that might dip into
their pockets the basis that it would dip
into the pockets Of other citizens.
If the House of Representatives is unwilling to enact
tax bill which will tax all equally, it holds in its hands
the solution of the city's financial problem.

Supt. v. 1. Morris Tells the Hardin
Woman'S Club How Beets Are
Made Into Sugar.

v. Irving Morris, superintendent
of the Holly Sugar factory at Har-
din, gave IN Instructive talk of
much local interest at the last
meeting of the Hardin Woman's
club. The talk was about vartous
facts regarding sugar, and about
the Hardin factory.
Sugar, Me- Morris explained, is
found in many vegetables, such
as cane, beetB, watermelons. dab
liza roots, parSpipS, etc. The sugar
IS formed ms she leaves Of the
plant and deposited in the root.
The exact chemical formulate ct
sugar is known, but it cannot be
produced in the laboratory.
The fact that sugar Is an energy
food was not known for a long
time. At one time it was not al
lowed ON the tables Of athletes In
training, but now it Is recognized
as a suitable article in their diet.
People in THO country labored
under the belief that beet sugar
was inferior to cane sugar, while
in Europe the reverse was true.
When the World war started,
Gd1lCc d1lU EA16Ad11O WCAC 4OASC0
to use cane sugar, and now sci
entists agree there is no differ
ence.
Sugar factories in our country
came from Europe, the first sue
cessful one being started in Cali
fornia in 1859, operated by a man
named Dyer. It was built of wood
and the beets had to be carried
to the top Of the factory in bas-
kets by Chinese coolies. This fac
tory burned down three times, but
today it is one of the two out
standing sugar factories Of the U.
s. The other is the plant at Har-
din. Sugar from the California,
analysed in England was pro-
nounced superior to the European
product. .
Mr.. Morris traced the sugar beet
from the time It entered the fac
tory until it came out q finished
product. One pan OF the sugar
yields 500 to 600 sacks of sugar,
and takes about IL hours to make.
One ton Of coal and one-hah ton
OF lime rock and coke are used IN
making q ton OF sugar.
The sugar factory Is a great help
