Mlche Ttepon. Invents Machine Tiniest Books 1 i Menus Of The Day By Earl D. Boost . (American Sugar Refining Co.) NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (Special) Domestic cano refiners have had an oventful year. In March, the 'de partment of justice filed a dissolu tion suit under the Sherman 'act against the Sugar Institute. The caso will be heard In January. Those acquainted with such cases will ap-! predate. Its serious effect on trade conditions. Another 'disturbance ! this time also to beet sugar -pro ducers has,, been flooding of -.the market by refined sugar from the raw sugar producing countries. Cane refiners and beet sugar pro duce aeveloped codes of trade, ethics, separately approved at -Wash-; ington. They were serving the; country satisfactorily when, 'for the! first time since the establishment' of the' republic, the reoent tariff! opened up the domestic refined su; gar market on the equivalent of a free trade basis. With Washington attacking the cane refiners in the courts and also remjovlng their cen-1 tury-old tariff protection, it is not difficult to understand What fol lowed. Foreign refiners started ship ping refined sugar hero in ever in creasing quantities, selling (on all sorts of terms. Prices became de moralized. Sugar producers In Cuba and in all fields suffered. Bewilderment Created Some Idea may be had of the be wilderment created, by pointing out that imports ofCuban refined su gar In 1031 equalled more than twlco the production of Louisiana; or, more than the total production of Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin!, South, Dakota;, Kansas, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Utah, being 11 out of the 16 beet sugar states. Imports from . the Philippines, Hawaiian and Porto Rlcan refiners also displaced refin ing here equal to the consumption of Delaware, New Hampshire, Ver mont, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, South Dakota and Wyoming. Cane suar refining was Estab lished here 200 years ago. In wages, value of output and materials pur chased, It is over twice as large as the domestic beet and cane sugar industries combined; its 50 per cent excess capacity largely came from Its war effort: it would seem, there fore, that this .present day dupli cation of refining facilities in the Philippines, Porto Rico and the su gar Islands should be the one to be penalized, rather than labor, mate rial-men and Investors, long estab lished, on the mainland. England and Canada both acted over a year ago to safeguard their refiners apd tho foreign refined sugar excluded there has swelled- the flood of im ports here. Last sumimor Franco doubled its tariff on refined BUgar imports and this December decreed an absolute embargo. County of Rivers Randolph county.

Advertiser Can Make Is to piace his advertising in a publication that is not a member of the Audit Bureau of Circu lations. ," ' ' The latter audits circulation records and certi fies as to the number of paid subscribers the member papers have. : It is interesting to. note that after years of hard work the District News was obliged to suspend publication because of the small num ber of. paid subscribers and lack of advertising patronage. It was found the' District News had less than 1 400 paid subscribers in La Grande and Union county, and that most of these were regular subscribers to the ' Observer. Also that the greater number of these 400 had been secured when the District News offered an automobile to the party producing most subscriptions. La Grande Evening Observer .
