HOW TO GET SUGAR FACTORIES
; ..The following is from the June number of the Trades
' Record; published at Columbus, Ohio, and it deserves careful
reading by thoughtful Americans: '.. r ,
. ; r ; j An. intelligent Republican threatens to vote
a Democratic ticket next year because of the high
price of sugar, which he ascribes to the tariff. If he ,
wishes to change his vote to the Democratic side it
I is his ..right .and duty, 'and we may do! likewise,
i though for quite a different reason. Three years
ago when sugar was on the free list a combine got '
control of the market and ran the price up to three -times
what it is now and did it just as it is done
how: 'One reason the Conspirators were able to do "
. . ;the ,trick so easily , was that putting sugar on the
free list had destroyed the beet sugar industry in
, the northern states and all necessary to rob the
- - ' public' was to get control :f the cane sugar. 1 Per- i
' 1 haps, If this gentleman and some ladies would get
- from under the influence of free trade politicians
and study the matter themselves they would realize
that sugar should pay its share of tariff taxes as a
t matter of justice and that is good Democratic doc-
. trine, too and also that a protective tariff which
, builds up anindustry in a way to prevent wealthy
I men and gamblers from robbing- the masses of 1
f: life's necessities is a. good thing. - Protectionists
are not all Republicans, i ; There are yet in America
' -many disciples of that' able Democratic statesman '.

which, as a result of tests conducted during the oast two
years by liquor department officials, proves to be of, su
perior quality. The first output under the arrangement will
be 5000 gallons. Producers will get $2 .a gallon I for their
product." The location of the industry is at Victoria, B. C.

As to flax 'pullers, the writer
Is hoping for the success of the
home Invented and manufactured
machine. There Is no doubt con
cerning the pulling. The princi
ple Is right. The only fault !
In the handling of the bundles.
That difficulty does not seem a
complicated one, and It should be
overcome. ' It will be, of course,
In time; and ought to be done
quickly, to favor the present har
vest. The world has been palling
flax by. hand for 4000 to 5000
years, and the Salem district Is
witnessing the machine harvesting
of the plant on a considerable
scale for the first time In history.
This will be a big Item in the full
development of the flax industry
here. Machines will soon cut' the
cost of pulling In half, and then
some. They will enable flax to be
made a large farm crop; even tu
ally s bonanza crop.
In spite of the maintenance of
high figures in the cost of many
of the necessities of life, the cost
of clothing seems to have settled
down almost to the prewar fig
ures. When the tariff law now
on the books was being discussed
it was claimed that the tariff on
wool would Increase the cost of
clothing, but nothing of the sort
has happened. The' new wool
tariff is In operation and the price
of woolen, clothing Is being re
duced. How ' do the Democrats
explain it?
HOPS OF THE HOPI
.Government Indian Agent Burke
has ordered the noble red men
under his jurisdiction to cease
their tribal dances. He says that'
they are vulgar and 1 indecent.
What, is he going to do about the
white woman and her shimmying?
The. Indians prefer to dance by
themselves, aloof from the eyes
of the stranger. If they are course
they are reasonably private about
It. But the white flapper, with
her vibratory excesses and Jowl
contacts, performs in the glare of
the calcium before a thousand
eyes. , If Uncle Sam Is to embark
upon :a censorship of the dance
he is advised that there are a lot
of white Indiana ho hare cast
their reserratlons to - the four
winds. !
THE TAX FUTURE
Although the administration
has replaced a treasury deficit
with a surplus Senator Smoot,
who dominates the financial end
of the country's legislation, does
not expect any substantial reduc
tion of taxes for some years. We
have etill a long way to go before
we are above the backwash of the
war. The Utah statesman antic
ipates that a 80ldiers-bonus meas
ure will yet be forced through
congress and that it will be neces
sary to adopt a form of sales tax
to provide for Its requirements;
No' bill should be adopted that
does riot adequately 'provide a
plan for its fulfilment.

a conference commission of 100
persons from "the best brains of

UNSTABLE CURRENCY
s Our American dollar Is , fairly
steady ; so much steadier than the
coinage of any, nation that it has
become the standard ot the world.
For this our people have much
reason- to 'be'- thankful.'' Rising
prices and heavy taxes sometimes
obscure 'our vision so that we fail
to see our good fortune In having
so stable a dollar to depend on.
Of curse, even the American
dollar doesn't always represent
the same amount of sugar or
wheat or tea or plumbing or
preaching or . summer vacation.
But it doesn't fluctuate violently
like the currency of most of the
European countries because it
has a security behind it not pos
sessed by, foreign exchanges.; n
The present widespread distress
in Europe springs to a great ex
tent from the unsound state of
the ' various currencies. 'Abnor
mal inflation by cheapening mon
ey has destroyed the credits j of
lenders and so made borrowing
