Senator McNary Starts Probe
Into Actions of Attorney
General Palmer.
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.

Millage Bills
Are Endorsed
A call meeting was held in the
Canyonville M. E. church Saturday
evening, April 10, for the purpose ot
getting together on the new school
lax question, to be voted on May
21. 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.
