PRICE CHANGES
Vr rum racis nuuui ougar;, ,
. How little direct relationship exists between the price-of sugar
and the tariff ha been strikingly Illustrated by the range of market
values In the United States, during the past three years. Within this
period there has been two changes in the! tariff, increasing the im
port duty by three-quarters of a cent a pound, while the fluctuations
In the market quotations on raw and refined sugar have amounted
to over four cents a pound, but no connection between these move-
. merits can be traced. : . .... ....: i" i. . "v t - i-.. " ' ;f '.is-.- '
In 1921 when the so-called emergency ; tariff was adopted, raising
the Import duty on Cuban raw sugar from one cent to 1.60 cents a
pound, the trend of sugar prices was downward throughout practical
ly the whole year. This tendency was !so strong that when "the
change fn duty went into effect the price' of raw sugar in the New
York market remained unchanged for the moment and liter con
tinued Its downward course. It was necessary for the , seller of
foreign grown sugar to absorb the: whole of the increase In order to
hold his place in the market. ': vif ;., I'" f ;. - S.
In 1922, when the. present tariff was enacted, the price of sugar
advanced more or less steadily throughout, the year.! This movement
was Interrupted by a decline Immediately, before the tariffs law was
passed, due to the efforts of holders of dutiable sugar to sell before
the change, a recovery following the adoption of the law and then
a continuation of the advance exactly as itj would have continued, had
there been no change in the duty. I . i 1, s,,
In 1923 sugar reached its highest price In April, practically at
the height of the Cuban grinding campaign, declined during thf sum
mer months when little or no sugar wa being produced, advanced
during September, and again FELL OFF IN OCTOBER. WHENNEW
CROP BEET SUGAR CAME UPON THE MARKET, j : ' f '
In 1924 the range of prices was more or lees similar to the
movement in the previous year. The high point war reached In
February and was followed by a continuous decline until Jnne. :fFrotn
then until September there was a gradual ivance, JoUowedby ? a
second decline In October and November UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF A LARGE BEET SUGAR CROP and a sharp drop In the last few
weeks of the year undej- the influence of unexpectedly high estimates
of coming Cuban production. i f; i , J ' L
In all these fluctuations It is possible to trace the infjaence Pf
successive changes In the known ot anticipated relationship of supply
and demand and one might reconstruct j the course of events wit h
fair accuracy from study of a chart of prices. It is nowhere possible

T1IH1FT "WEEK
The present week la devoted to
discussion of thrift.. It started
with Franklin's birthday. The
country Is slow to learn the les
sons , and i benefits of thrift. It
is so easy j to spend money and so
hard to save it that we are mighty
apt to take the easy route. Fur
thermore It Is so hard, for aome
people to deny themselves what
they see their neighbors having
that ; it makes It still harder.
There are those , who Insist Chat
they are entitled to just as good
as anybody In their; town. Just
as much money to spend and boy
nst as good goods. We wish the
folly of such an attitude could be
appreciated by all because the In
sistence on this theory has broken
more hearts than all other things
in the world put together. Those
who are happiest are those who
cut their garments according to
their cloth, who nerer think of
living ahead of their Incomes.
Thlft week In Salem means 6 a
better, city. It means more people
with money. It means more sen
sible buying and means more real
wants supplied. The banks lead
off in this because banks are
the schools for thrift. They make
money out of It of. course but
they ought tor make money out of
It. The country is full of people
who haTe started with savings
accounts and learned to economize
generally. It is hoped this week
that the lesson will be brought
home as never before. J
WAVE RADIATIOX ' f
Just now there .1 a good deal
of discussion about radio, radia
tion, electron a, etc, A quarter of
century ago a . man named A.
Wllford Hall came forward with
the theory that sound was mat
erial corpuscles: He fought brave
ly but the scientific world never
gave him a hearing and he died
broken man---broken on the
wheel of injustice. Dr. Hall wrote
hook called, ;"The Problem of
Human Life." j Several thousand
copies were circulated but not a
single scientific society would
even listen to him. They didn't
want to hear his theory and after
battling for many years he gave
up the fight and died in despair.
He published a monthly magazine
called the :Microcosm which he
was unable to sustain.
Is It true that Dr. Hall was a
great scientist? That ne naa
gropings of the everlasting truth?
Men every day are coming up and
propounding revolutionary theo
ries. Some times they get auai
encee and some times they do not.
Dr. Hall lived at a time when it
was' impossible for an outsider to
get an audience. Science was
developing the things I already
found, believing that everything
had then been discovered. Yet
that was before the days of the
flying machine, before the days
of radio, and berore the aays oi
many of the marvels of the world.
' THE FISH ROW
As a matter of fact, Dr. .Ross
never ought to have been on the
fish commission. Why Governor
Pierce put him on Is a mystery
but there Is a reason why Dr.
Ross changed his mind after he
got on the commission He ap
pointed his cousin who "was sup
posed to learn the business and
become the real manager, but this
eouain failed ; to meet every test
and now the problems is to get
rid of him, l.J.-r'-
Dr. Ross found that Shoemaker
against whom the fight was made
was competent and he decided! to
avail himself of Shoemaker's ser
vices until his cousin. "cotfld learn
the business. As time wore on
and the cousin did not learn .and
Shoemaker more fully . demons
trated his capacity. Dr. Ross sim
ply had no alternative f aa an
honest man hut to continue Shoe
maker In office Dr. Ross is not
fitted for. the fish commission but
he was "honest -enough to aamit
that Shoemaker -was a valuable
man In the state. . f
