PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED Had President Authorized the Sugar Equalization Hoard to Buy Sugar When Requested, Over Jtlll ion Would Have Iteeu Saved. WASHINGTON, April 11. Letters and telegrams tumbling into the of fice ot Senator McNury of Oregon in dicate that the people of the Unit ed mates are xar more wrougui up over the high cost of sugar and shoes tban tiiey are over the league of nations, universal military train ing or the results ot the presidential primaries. Incidentally some shoe manufac turers, wholesalers and retailers, and several sugar brokers are manifest ing quite a little nervous excitement over the two subjects under Investi gation by separate subcommittees of the senate committee on manufac tures. Senator McNary has charge of both Inquiries. Telegrams of inqury sent in large numbers by the Oregon senator to Arms engaged in the shoe and augur trade have added greatly to the dis comfort of thone so enguged. In re plying to his telegram both shoe and sugar men take it for grunted thul they are in for a grilling and are pleading to be told how soon they are to be called on to testify. Attorney-General Palmer Is almost sure to be dragged into both hear ings to mako at least two explana tions. First, the McNary sugar committee wants to know all the detutlB where by Louisiana sugur planters were able to sell their sugar for 17 cents a pound while the Rtigar beet growers of California, Idaho, Utah and Beverul other stutes were per mitted to take only 10 cents. Ex planations heretofore made by the attorney-general are not accepted as tuitisfactory. Second, the McNary shoo commit tee wonts to know why It wus that Mr. Palmer did not start his prose cution of the retail shoe trade right here in Washington, where he hns abundant evidence of wide margins of profit since August of last year. lutunuuUou has reuched congress wiiuiil the lust tew days of Indict ments brought against shoe retailers in Spokane, W'asn., in January by u federal grand jury acting under me aavice of Attoruey-Ueueral Palmer s agents. Profits taken by Spokane dealers, as shown by the grand jury report, when compared with the margin granted by some eastern dealers, particularly here in Washington, might lead to the conviction that the Spokane tradesmen were philan thropists. Yet Mr. Palmer has not seen lit to start any prosecutions here or elsewhere In the east. For example, the federal trade committee made public last August a report showing that one dealer here in Washington doing business on a plot of ground lit by 71 feet bad made net profits of $6.000 the preceding year. Other local deal ers have prospered correspondingly, according to the size of their estab lishments and capital Invested. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who is a member of the McNury committee to investigate shoe prices, hus added something to the hum of informa tion by investigating the manufac turer's price on a pair of shoes which lie purchased here in Wash ington for $20 only a few days ago. Inquiry brought the reply thut the manufacturer received $s for Mr. Kenyon's shoes. As to Cuban sugar, for which housewives in tills country are now paying from 18 to 25 cents, a cable gram from President Menocal of Cuba to Senator McNary snows tne price in Cuba Is now $13.83. This does not show such a wide margin of profit in reselling It ill this country, but the figures become significant and interesting when It Is known that this is the sugar which the I'nited States sugar equalization board urged President Wilson to buy In August and September last year for 6V cents a pound, which would have saved American consumers In round figures by this time about $1,000,000,000.

Prof. Payne set the ball rolling by announcing the purpose of the meeting, after which G. O. McQilv ray was elected as secretary. John A. Almack, of the University ot Ore gon, head of the extension depart ment and one of the leading educa tors ot the state, spoke briefly, as did County Supt. O. C. Brown, Mr. Stark of Sutherlin, Prof. H. Omer Dennett, Mrss. O. C. Brown, Prof. Payne and J. B. Fullerton. After ihe speakers had explained the bill, i tie following resolution was unani mously adopted: Whereas, our present method of raising the funds for the support of our public schools places 70 per cent of the burden of taxation directly up on the school districts, many of whom are small and have a low valuation, a fairer and more demo cratic means of distributing this bur den is needed; and, Whereas, the 2 mill tax bill will place a tax upon all property, In cluding millions of dollars worth of property in the state that escapes the local district school tax and thereby does not do Us share toward sup porting the public school; therefore be It Resolved, that we, the members ot school district No. 8, do most heart ily favor the passage of this bill at our next election. May 21; and be It further Resolved, that we also indorse and heartily favor the passage of the higher educational bill for the relief of the University of Oregon, State Agricultural College, and the State llormal school.
