HOW FREE SUGAR WOULD AFFECT OUR FARMERS UNDERWOOD BILL: WOULD INCREASE FOREIGN IMPORTS BY $300,000,000 ANNUALLY LOCAL GROWERS GIVES POTENT REASONS WHY TARIFF SHOULD BE MAINTAINED Editor Gazette: In the May "World's Work," in which appears the fifth article of "The New Freedom," by Woodrow Wilson, there also appears an article headed "An Idiotic Economic Situation" by H. G. Hastings, of Atlanta, Georgia, who gives the following startling statement of the production of the money crop in Georgia last year and of the farm products that were imported into Georgia from other states: Grown in Georgia and sold, $135,000,000 worth of cotton and cotton seed. Grown elsewhere and sold in Georgia of corn, hay, oats, meat, etc., $172,496,000. These items of food for man and beast cost $37,496,000 more than the cotton brought, and the comment is made that it all could have been raised in Georgia, also the question is asked why wasn't it done. The silliness of this situation exists in a state adjoining the one from which Chairman Underwood hails as a representative. And Mr. Underwood would have sugar refiners, and not primarily for the benefit of the dear people as alleged. By the help of the president and an overwhelming majority vote, the house has passed the infamous free sugar bill. The people are now looking on with amazement to learn of its fate in the senate. Can it be possible that this conservative body will allow themselves to be hoodwinked and unwillingly made the tools of the traitorous band who would deliver over to foreign interests in toto this promising industry. A. WELLINGTON. COUNTY TAXES APPORTIONED County Auditor Lester this week has apportioned the second installment of taxes for the year 1912-13. The total sum apportioned is $238,196.27, apportioned as follows: Schools ... $125,986.03 State ... 4,333.23 Current expense ... 45,794.39 Salary ... 10,823.09 Hospital ... 8,863.43 Interest and sinking fund... 6,499.85 County Park ... 492.41 Advertising ... 2,954.48 Roads ... 32,439.36 The auditor's report to the State shows that 2,380 State polltaxes have been collected so far this year. The commission which the county receives for collecting these polltaxes is 15 per cent. The amount paid to the Whittier reform school for six months ending May 1, 1913, is $425.81. The school charges the county $11 per month for each pupil. The total tax on collateral inheritances for the term ending May 1 is $2,721.20. The county treasurer receives 3 per cent of this amount as his fee for collecting same and the balance goes to the State. The estates These items of food for man and beast cost $37,496,000 more than the cotton brought, and the comment is made that it all could have been raised in Georgia, also the question is asked why wasn't it done. The silliness of this situation exists in a state adjoining the one from which Chairman Underwood hails as a representative. And Mr. Underwood would have Uncle Sam repeat the colossal blunder of Georgia by not only continuing to pay to other countries the $100,000,000 of the peoples' money for sugar as is now being done, but also giving to them the whole value of the $400,000,-000 worth of sugar which our people consume instead of growing the raw material for white sugar made in a white man's country, with labor paid a white man's wages. Mr. Underwood throws out his chest and says, as reported in the Louisiana Planter of May 10, 1913: "The refining interest is the most important feature connected with sugar manufacture in the United States. Therefore the industrial position of refining requires primary consideration." Thus it is shown conclusively that Mr. Underwood must be in cahoots with the cane refiners, who are clamoring for a reduction in the import duties on raw sugar that they may put beet sugar (and incidently home grown cane) out of business, destroying thus, all home competition. Now Mr. Underwood does not undertake to show how it comes about that the cane refining interest "is the most important," knowing full well that he could not substantiate it in face of what is widely known. Here are some of the real facts already admitted by the refiners: The cane refiner takes raw sugar produced by peons and coolies, testing 96 degrees and launders it. The sugar is all contained therein when he gets the dirty stuff from the tropics—hence he produces nothing of value. The only addition of value by the process, is what the ordinary laundryman adds to the value of your dirty shirt, simply a labor incerase in value. Obviously the shirt is worth more clean than dirty, by just the cost to cleanse it. Now what is the laundry cost of cleaning peon produced tropical raws, of 96 degree sugar? Refiners say that the labor cost amounts to $6.72 per ton or less than one-third cent per pound. On the other hand, beet sugar is first and last a home product from raw ma- commission which the county receives for collecting these polltaxes is 15 per cent. The amount paid to the Whittier reform school for six months ending May 1, 1913, is $425.81. The school charges the county $11 per month for each pupil. The total tax on collateral inheritances for the term ending May 1 is $2,721.20. The county treasurer receives 3 per cent of this amount as his fee for collecting same and the balance goes to the State. The estates subject to the inheritance tax for the past six months were from the following decedents: D. H. Thomas, Timothy Carroll, Augustus Alderman, Samson Edwards and Geo. Weeks. FULLERTON R. E. Wells of Los Angeles was arrested in Fullerton two weeks ago on a charge of violating the auto speed law. He was released with the understanding that he would return in a day or two and pay his fine. He failed to put in an appearance and it was learned later that he went to San Francisco. When Wells was first arrested he did not give his true name. It was learned Monday that he had returned from the north to Los Angeles. Nightwatchman Wheeler was in Los Angeles that night and made Wells accompany him to Fullerton in the automobile at 10 o'clock. A Fullerton justice was called up at that hour and imposed a fine of $25 upon Wells, which was paid. At the meeting of the board of Fullerton trustees last week, a petition with 34 signatures was presented asking for the removal of Nightwatchman Wheeler on the ground that "he is creating dissatisfaction in the discharge of his duties in the manner in which he performs them." The matter was referred for investigation to Trustees Smith and Welton. SOUTHERN COUNTIES BUILDING Work Commenced Upon Structure For San Diego 1915 Exposition Fifty workmen are now busy with the construction of the Southern California building for the San Diego 1915 exposition, and the building is making rapid progress. This makes three large buildings under construction at present, and three more will be started during the month. The plans for the $250,000 state building recently provided for by the state legislature, which were sent to the consulting architect in New York recently for approval, are on their way back to the exposition department of works, after having been approved. On motion of Bradford Dwyer, the president were authorized to sign favor of Mrs. Pittman amount of damages to crop when the Caroline line was constructed. Director Sherwood re-staked out a location for at Crowther's corner. On motion of Hale, se Fadden, the matter of angethorpe ditch in fronter's property was re-ditch committee. On motion of Hale, Beazley, Engineer Shear constructed to furnish Attot Fullerton with a description right of way required and Lawrence avenues draw up an agreement signed by the property owner would be shut off. On motion of Sherwood Beazley, the pumping pumps were instructed to invest position of furnishing w companies, and notify bills must be paid prompter would be shut off. The secretary was insigfy the Standard Oil Co-foresthe A. U. W. Co.,the proposition of a rig an oil pipe line across t ed lease,the Standard get the consent of th e company. On motion of McFadey by Beazley, the bill of Furniture Company, off red to President Crowther. On motion of McFadey by Hale, the complaint Derksen was referred to mittee. A communication re number of stockholders heim ditch, requesting keep the public off t right of way, was filed Keech instructed to loc of way. The report of the An Company, for the month received and filed. Oil on hand March 31. Oil produced during Ap is what the ordinary laundryman adds to the value of your dirty shirt, simply a labor incerase in value. Obviously the shirt is worth more clean than dirty, by just the cost to cleanse it. Now what is the laundry cost of cleaning peon produced tropical raws, of 96 degree sugar? Refiners say that the labor cost amounts to $6.72 per ton or less than one-third cent per pound. On the other hand, beet sugar is first and last a home product from raw material produced at full American wages from our own soil and on every ton of sugar made from American beets, there is distributed for the beets plus labor and supplies, more than ten times as much, or say $75 per ton of sugar, and furthermore, that $75 stays at home, no part of it being sent to foreign lands for raw material, labor or supplies. The above certainly makes it look as though the influence of F. C. Lowry, of the Federal Sugar Refining Company had in its scope, captured along with the other Congressmen, Mr. Underwood. The openly avowed ultimate object is to throttle the production, manufacture and sale of American produced sugar, either beet or cane. An attempt is made under the guise of tariff reduction, to recruit from the ranks of Congress, a sufficient number of members who are willing to attempt to make it appear to the people that it is better to send money to the tropics to pay coolie labor than to employ American labor and raise sugar beets and cane from our own soil. More recently the attempt is being made to drag President Wilson into the conspiracy. Thus it will be seen that the bold attempt is made to utilize the whole governmental machinery in the interests of the coterie of Wall Street cane fornia building for the San Diego 1915 exposition, and the building is making rapid progress. This makes three large buildings under construction at present, and three more will be started during the month. The plans for the $250,000 state building recently provided for by the state legislature, which were sent to the consulting architect in New York recently for approval, are on their way back to the exposition department of works, after having been approved. Work will commence on that handsome structure immediately upon receipt of the plans. The ground is now being prepared for the erection of the foreign arts and commerce and industry buildings, which will also be started during the present month. Much of the frame of the arts and crafts building, heretofore known as machinery building, is already up, and as soon as the lumber covering is in place, both that building and the home science building, now otherwise complete, will be turned over to the lathers and plasterers for completion. The building of an immense stadium, with ample accommodations for the largest of national or world conventions, will be another feature of permanent building during the time before the fair opens in January, 1915. The site selected for the stadium was largely prepared by the hand of Nature, as the hillsides surrounding its center form a natural ampitheater in themselves, and when the ground has been properly graded, and the building completed, San Diego will have at once, one of the largest stadiums in the world, and certainly the most beautiful, it will be located in the midst of a beautiful park, where both landscape and informal gardening will assist greatly in its embellishment.
